Table Set up
The packages have started to arrive now.
What to do and how to do it.
1. Set up the Ikea table. Follow the instructions to assemble and then turn the
assembled table upside down. Set the legs to exactly 32.5” (the AGO
recommended height) from the table top to the tip of the legs. Now
position the table where you will want your new “organ” to reside. (Leave
room so that you can walk behind it during the installation process.)
2. Find a piece of thick cloth or Naugahide to put on the table. This should
be at least the size of the bottom brackets of the keyboard, however you
can cover the entire table with it. This will eliminate vibrations and
knocking sounds that you may encounter if you put the keyboards
directly on the table. You can also use the extra cloth for a surface to act as
a mouse pad. Mice don’t like hard finishes like glass or a
wooden/laminate table top. (Yes, you will need to have access to the mouse
and, initially, the keyboard.)
Computer Set up
For specific information regarding memory saving measures on a PC, as well as to learn
a way to have your PC turn on when your Tripp Lite Strip is turned on, see the
Appendix.
3. Antivirus/Firewall: Disable any antivirus/firewall software (only if you do
not have any internet connection.)
Sounds: In Start/Settings/Control Panel/Sound and Audio Devices/Sound
Scheme select No Sounds.
Monitor Power mode: In Start/Setting/Control Panel/ Power Options/
Turn monitor off (set this to “Never.”)
Screen Saver: Right click on the desktop screen and choose Properties.
Click on the Screen Saver tab and choose “none.” There is nothing more
annoying while you are playing than to look over at the sample set screen to add a
stop, only to find it gone.
