Cheers for the thoughts xstatic, although I've just bought a new Yamaha mixer and not having direct outs really isn't a problem. Infact I prefer to wire up the HD24 in the same way as an effects box using insert cables for each channel as it means I'm sending a post-preamp signal to the...

not even gonna think about that :D

Agreed :) Just thought if I could use my home soundcard as a digital front end to my HD24, to cut down on the number of connections and speed up the time it takes to set up then I'd give it a go.... but it's just not looking like a practical solution is it Guess I'll just muddle through with...

Thanks Track Rat, that's what I figured as well. I was just kinda hoping they forgot to mention the Mk3 had standalone mixing functions (thinking being if the Mk2 had it then so must the Mk3) but clearly not... So it seems the Mk2 has the standalone mixing functions but not enough ADAT...

Using insert cables between the HD24 and an analogue mixer enables you to record and playback from the HD24 without having to do any re-wiring. Also I do not have any dedicated channel outs on the mixer so it's better than placing a standard cable "half-in" to the inserts to create a direct out...

woo if that's true then what are they playing at on their website :confused: more confused than ever now!

I've an HD24 which I'm currently hooking up to an analogue mixer to record the band live in a rented room, but this uses about a ton of Insert cables so in the future it would be nice to utilise the 24 channels of ADAT I/O on the HD24 for nice and neat connections. I'm about to upgrade my...

wrong thread :rolleyes:

Good analysis Toddskins, I'll pay you back your 2 cents if you've similar comments about the standard keyboards you've tried (although it would be going off topic slightly, i accept PMs !) I know it's all subjective but I've been majorly disappointed by all the piano sounds from the major...

yeah, i've had that "check jumper" message a number of times, like it matters what i wear, a restuffing of the drive normally sorts it with a desperate sense of panic proportional to the occasion

oo shame this thread isn't about a broken key on a Roland A90 :) one of mine is currently sitting perma-pressed down after our last gig... paid about £130 to fix it last time one broke (all labour charges) I took all the screws out of the heavy beast yet nothing budged and had that feeling I'll...

I suggest buying one and taking it home, you'll sure as hell know whether or not you like it then, stores lie man! hell, buy all three on credit from three different stores, ABC'em and take the worst two back :D (make sure you can get a refund beforehand though :) )

I've a TMK-88 and it's fine for organs, strings etc but I want to throw it out the window for piano... it has a naturally low velocity curve and notes jump out and in unexpectedly all over the place. Just been reading the SL-880Pro has lots of options for changing velocity settings but I can't...

There's a guy who has created his own piano samples for use with the Fantoms and Motifs, don't know if you've seen the link but you can't help by being impressed by his attitude and the reviews. http://www.williamcoakley.com/ Amen!! :) (btw as we appear to have similar tastes in piano...

Is the EIV a soft synth thing? I've done a quick google and I'm not none too wiser to be honest... I've heard good things about soft synths but wanted a keyboard/module for gigging... will never take my laptop out with me! Yep, the A90 is sure a heavy beast, 10 years of carrying that babber...

You shouldn't need a DI box to connect an electric piano to a mixer (as that's only a guitar thing) Instead of setting everything at 75%, usual procedure is to turn the main ouput faders on the mixer right down and turn your keyboard output right up to about 90%... then on the mixer, turn the...

i always thought peavey gear was quality! until you get on the internet and it's completely trashed :rolleyes: good to see a little positive peavey thread hiding away here!

Once you've got all your performances set up in your module (using a pc, or using the module controls itself), in theory you only need a programme change button on your controller... but if you're on stage and one of the layered sounds for example is way too loud, then you'll be hoping for a...

i need to be a complete out of control nervous drunken frustrated emotional wreck to write a song, but then i need to be sober and calm to perform it... bit of a fucking bitch really

if you're looking at Roland gear, compare the Fantom pianos to all the SRX and RD3/700SX stuff... difference between day and night in my book, you may prefer one or t'other If you don't need a workstation then a controller/module seems the logical route... but it may just boil down to what...
