I've recently bought a Stagg KXS A4 keyboard stand for my Casio CTK-4000 synthesizer:
The problem is, I can't seem to figure how one is supposed to be lying on the other. If I simply put the synthesizer on top of the rubbery cylindrical parts it isn't too stable, especially on higher altitude settings. There don't seem to be any special slots, designed for them, in the back either.
Please explain to me this esoteric science of mounting.

I understand how you must be feeling, because at one point it felt like I'm not making any progress, cluelessly searching for every key.
Thankfully, there are some built in exercises in my synthesizer, which I started practicing. I tried to repeat the ones I knew every day or so and learn a new one every couple of days. At first I was struggling to get the first one right, but eventually the progress started showing. This will get your fingers accustomed to playing the keyboard. Start with something easy, like playing every other key on the keyboard from the middle C to C6 on your right hand and from C4 to middle C on your left hand and repeat it until you can do it perfectly, then move on to others, but still regularly practice what you've learned. I can't really give you any examples of good exercise which you could use (unless you've got Casio ctk-4000), but you can always search the web for some.
I also suggest watching the videos on this channel and this website. They are for learning piano, but practically all of them can be applied to electronic keyboards too. They have been very helpful to me.
Hope this helps.

Having seen it once, I now find myself watching it over and over every couple of hours or so. It just hits too many of my soft spots.

I usually start making a song when I wish to try out something new, I've come up with or read online: key signature/structure/effect/etc. Innovation is what usually drives me.
As for the emotional constituent, I tend to come up with various moods, from stupid happy to aggravating despair, which reflects my own constant mood swings, I guess. It is nigh impossible for me to single out one motive that binds this eclectic library. If there is one thing, that most of it seems to have, it is the feeling of emergence, hurry and unresolved tension. This is probably because, when I started taking interest in making music, the songs, I appreciated were limited to techno/trance genres,
Oh, and you also could add escape from the miserable reality to the motives list. Or was it motivation?

How To Put A Keyboard On Top Of A Keyboard Stand?
in Performance
Posted
I do have a carpeted floor and the stand does seem a bit unstable on it, yes. However, the instability, I was referring to was the lack of traction between the stand's rubber "holders" and the synthesizer.
Still, is there any way to make the synthesizer sit more tightly, short of taping it to the arms?
