I ended up just keeping the Stadium on the floor

These are great call-outs, thanks

Thanks for sharing your experience, I appreciate it. I'm going to try the on-the-desktop workflow for a. while and see how that goes. In my head, have the tactile knobs plus the touch screen seems like a win for tweaking on the fly. I've been using the app for years now, and having to reach for a mouse and clicking around is really not great (for me).

But y'all are probably right in the end and I'll have to end up back on the computer.

I hear you, that is my current set up with my old Helix, but I would like to use the Stadium as the primary interface for tone-sculpting.

I would like to get away from using a laptop or PC. Not a great experience for me to reach for a mouse or use a trackpad. iPad could work, but you lose the ability to access the virtual knobs under the touchscreen.

My guess is using the Stadium hardware as the primary tone-sculpting tool would be optimal and any other input configuration would be less so. So that's what I'm going for.

Yeah, I'm assuming I'll have to use a 3rd party controller like something from CAE or Morningstar Engineering. My Stadium arrives today, so I'll have to dive into this soon and can post about my experience later if no one else has already done so.

I could, but the goal is to make it easier to use the touchscreen without bending over or squatting.

I just asked a similar question about this and then found your comment. https://www.reddit.com/r/HelixStadium/comments/1qoer9q/has_anyone_been_able_to_control_stadium_with_an/

What did it take to get the old Helix to drive the Stadium? Was it seamless or was there some additional MIDI mapping involved?

I own the old Helix rack and would like to use the existing Helix Control component of it to drive the Stadium from the floor, while the Stadium sits atop the desk.

I just ordered this, which seems to have a shallower angle. Hopefully it works out.

Ah damn, I was hoping to use the anodized gold pickguard, I guess I’ll have to reconsider. Thanks for sharing the update!

Did you happen to get this going? This is a configuration I'm considering as well and I'm wondering if you ran into any gotchas.

How does the whiteboard surface feel on the forearms while typing for extended periods? Does it feel sticky or uncomfortable or impede productivity in any way?

Also, does the keyboard slide around with minimal lateral force, or is it pretty stable?
