It is important to get up-to-date monitors with drivers for the operating system you will be using.
The second trick is all in the stands. They lift high enough and rotate 90 degrees. Additionally, most monitors have a, so-called, VESA mount that allows you to use other mounting methods. You can find VESA-compatible supports that will permit rotation.
Note, it does take up a lot of space to have a screen of that size rotatable.

I think you might be confusing me with someone who can play the organ! I don't really need pistons. However, if I can play something then I set up the Hauptwerk Stepper and use the top two pedals as up and down selectors. If I need them on screen I add the ones provided with Hauptwerk.
