In the 99-Cent Discount Stores in my town, in the electrical section they
sell 3-plug connectors that go into one socket. You can plug it into one
socket of a power strip, and have room on either side of this connector for
two wall warts (plugged upside down) and one standard plug at the top, and
it only takes up one socket space.

TIP: If you go gigging often, buy an extra wall wart for your gear, and
keep it in your gigcase/totebag when you're not gigging. That way, you
don't have to worry about plugging/unplugging your whole studio. Same goes
for audio and MIDI cables.
Fortunately for Yamaha users, the wall wart for the AN1x is a standard
piece of gear; it's more or less universal on a lot of Yamaha equipment --
PSR Home keyboards, QY-series sequencers and I believe the AN/DX200 boxes.
