i also use a dustcover ( available at be big music stores, like musicstore koeln or wheresoever)
besides i sometimes use the dustbuster ( small handheld vacuumcleaner for cleaning crums etc) and when i've really dirty places on keyboard or so i use a cloth with a tiny bit of spiritus, however don't rub to hard to avoid damage and don't let fluid get into the machine and let it vapourize a while before switching him on again ( i don't take responsability however ). then afterwards i polish him slightly with a soft towel .

( only problem : he now looks so good , i think it's a pity to touch him to play on)

CRUMS!

Sunny! are you eating over your Andromeda again?

Time to go to your room.

Seriously, I just use a paint brush to remove any crums off my equipment. Dust covers are a must though. I call them Keyboard Condoms!

Mars is hermetically sealed.

Hi Amnesia

I use Gator stretch covers for my synths. They have a pull string to keep the shit out of your boards.

Mars wraps everything for his protection

afcourse vacuumcleaners can also be used for cleaning the studio once in a while ( before or after eating or in between when eating almost all the time).
serious, cleaning and covers help a lot.
