Behringer makes a dedicated USB audio interface that is stellar. Previously I had always used the audio card in my laptops, however, recently I have run into more and more issues getting clean sound to house sound systems. Regardless of the keyboard used, my experience with sounds remains the same. The nanoKontrol enables me to decouple from needing to lug around a keyboard, such as my M-Audio Axiom. The faders, buttons, and knobs map to critical faders, buttons, and knobs in Mainstage. The nanoKontrol2 MIDI mixer gives me powerful control over Mainstage. All modern keyboards do, and if I ever were to run into a keyboard sporting only real MIDI plugs, I have an adapter to convert those to USB also.
The keyboard can be anything, as long as it has USB MIDI output. My previous keyboard rigs were snake pits of cables, slithering everywhere. This means, with a fully charged battery, I can actually power my entire rig using only the laptop! Wow! I have a severe disdain for cables. Apple’s Mainstage is my software synth of choice. Here is a diagram of my keyboard rig, current as of May 2019Īll sounds are run off a 2012 MacBook Air, with 8 gigs of RAM.

Today I do not even need to bring a keyboard with me! My rig is 100% portable and for the most part, can be carried in a small backpack. My keyboard rig used to be big and impressive, but as time goes on I am finding I am using less gear and generating much more impressive sounds.
