I have: Roland JV-1080 sound module (no expansion cards) Fatar SL-161 controller (2 zones, 61 unweighted keys, aftertouch) Yamamha S90 The Fatar and the Roland have done very well for me for years. I have used them with Sonar 4 and Sibelius (notation software). The sounds are dated, but it's...

The Motif may very well more complicatied than this, but I went nuts on my Yamaha S90 trying to do the same thing. You have to put the keyboard into the sequencer mode for it to receive on multiple midi channels. Doing that, made it perfectly happy to take program changes and music data - I gave...

I previewed the BassXT (the one before the new FloorPod that I read has a great synth bass) for about 3 hours alternating between an amp and headphones. I was really disappointed, actually. I've heard loads of people say they're getting good results, but everything just sounded muffled and...

I would think you might easily mix the paino and pad synth before sending to FOH, but the bass synth might do well to have its own for the sake of eq'ing and real-time mixing. If everything handles being sent as mono, then you'd be down to two, which for a keyboard and bass player would be two...

Maybe that mic is particularly quiet and needs a preamp - never used one. Long shot: I might be possible that your mic cable is bad. When you plugged it into the guitar amp, you were only using one of the two conductors (the tip or pin-2 on the xlr), i.e. only half the balanced signal which...

Based on some Alpha pots I just bought, A is log and B is lin. In instruments I believe log pots are most often used for volume and lin for tone, but it depends on any other electronics, etc. If your volume is not dropping past a certain point, it sounds like its a bad ground connection on...

While I can't count the number of times I asked the sound guy at the one place if he had the pad switched on, to which he replied, 'yes,' it turns out he hadn't. I had to go to the board myself and finally confirm this. Though, I do think the inputs are ganged together before the preamp...

While the Karaoke company has secured the rights to re-record the music for use as Karaoke, you have not secured the rights from the Karaoke company to redistribute their work. Granted, Karaoke is designed to be performed LIVE by anyone, but to be altered and repackaged/redistributed almost...

I would agree, but I've since looked over the Presonus specs/features and they are saying how useful it is as a DI also. I've sent Presonus a note and received no reply... I just picked up some jacks and I'm going to make an adapter from XLR to 1/4" TRS and try the line input on the board for...

Sounds like you have recorded midi data in ProTools already. based on that: Does ProTools know that you are using a TD-3SW? Other software packages I've used work this way: They do (or can be set to) listen to midi on all channels (omni). This makes it easy to get your midi data in/recorded...

I think you swapped the send and receive in the drawing, but, yeah that's nice and clean. No reason the Pod should get any signal on bypass, unless there's some connectivity between the end terminals on the switch. Who knows?

If the tuner's receiving a signal when bypassed by the external bypass, I would think it's not truly bypassed. That's strange. Here's how I would wire it (attached image). The ground on the one terminal of the switch will ground the input of the Pod when bypassed, but it shouldn't really be...

When I used ear buds on stage (visible to audience), it wasn't wireless. It was just lines to a couple headpone amps (Rolls brand, and in between pairs of us) with long extensions tucked in our waist-bands/belts for strain relief. Not terribly elegant, but it worked for us. We were also not very...

Pod tuner reacting to no signal: I would guess that when the Pod is bypassed with your box, that it's input cable, particularly the hot, is left open, and not grounded. Input jacks, as far as I've seen, are generally switched so that the hot lead is grounded when nothing's plugged in. If I leave...

Thanks for the replies. What boingoman says seems to make sense. I am connecting to the mic input on the boards (XLR), but in looking at A&H boards on line, it looks like the "line" input is directly the XLR jack and you're supposed to use the pad, which I now think is 30dB, to handle line...

Has anyone had a problem with the Presonus TubePre's output (XLR) being too high? I use it regularly on two different Allen & Heath boards (don't know the models) and the output is very high with my bass and prohibitively high for my guitar. In both cases, the board op's say they're using the...

For a nice deep, yet defined sound a la Motown, try flats (lbanks said above), largely flat EQ (SoComSurfing said above), and pluck the strings forward near the neck. Using a P-style or J-style with only the neck pickup helps this too. LaBella flats have great definition and are likely what...

You can feed the L R or cue busses with them (on my 424 original). I used them as stereo returns for two effects loops on mixdown. I eventually discovered that you could have two effect loops using an insert cable in the effects send. The tip is the effects send, but the ring is the cue send...

Get an amp you really like, and learn to get sounds out of your bass with your fingers. I'm not trying to sound snobbish, but check out plucking/picking positions everywhere from the bridge to the 12th fret. There's a wealth of tone-shaping options on the bass. Don't know what your sound is...

How do you have both hooked up? Is one "thru" the other, or do they each have their own midi interfdace on the computer? The simplest way would be for each to have its own. Running one "thru" the other can get complicated as you have to assign separate listening channels (notes and program)...
