Hello folks,
I would like to position my Modwave like in the picture. Unfortunately I can't find anything that fits.
Does anyone have an idea or knows something like a keyboard stand to solve my problem?

Hmmm, I would have suggested a QLOK QL-400, but the Modwave is about 3cm too wide.
Maybe a 'side table' that's only got legs on one side? This kind of thing...

Plenty at the Amazon

If I understand correctly, you want it slightly tilted? If so, you may want to look at a small Jaspers stand (probably expensive) or a two layers keyboard stand and use the top one. Both solutions will be a bit high and could be in the way of the monitor (not good for the sound).
If you can use a small side table (or an x stand with a piece of wood on top, to get a makeshift table) and then add a laptop tilted stand between the table and the keyboard.
Another option would be using a sheet stand, if you can place it almost horizontally (and if the bracket doesn’t get in the way… maybe you can tilt it so that part goes to the back if the synth); although I question the stability and long time durability if you’re going to hammer the keys.
I think there are also tripod stands designed for laptops, which may be more suitable (more heavy duty).
Just a consideration about tilting the keyboard: I understand that tilting makes the labels and the screen more readable, but please make sure the hand and the lower part of the arm make a straight line when playing, so you don’t need to bend your wrist (you don’t want to compress the nerves inside it
). That keyboard slightly tilted in your desk doesn’t look that comfortable to play to me

Maybe something like this ... ? I saw it in a Walmart advert.

Or this one.

I have my modular gear set up on a similar trolley. The wheels make it really easy to move when necessary.

Welcome to the joy of constantly re-arranging your hardware. I actually gave up on any fixed set up, and bought several standing desks and arrange them whenever necessary on the floor, and either sit on the floor or have a floor chair. My hardware setup is constantly changing, swapping in and out whenever necessary. When I get to a stable setup only then would I recommend any expensive fixed furniture.

Check out the Gibraltar Gems stand. It tilts and can be set to a sitting/standing height. Super sturdy. I bought a few years ago they’re great for smaller keyboards/synths, drum machines, laptops, mixers etc.

I´d consider a drum pad stand.
But: you would have to build a wooden board and mount it to the stand with screws.
add a small piece of wood to the front, so that the keyboard can´t slip off.
a little tinkering required, but really simple.

VERY flexible in use in the studio.
Yes, they have a sturdy stand for a keyboard in that size.
works even for slightly bigger keyboards.
You can adjust the tilt angle
