FYI for others encountering this issue.
Picked up a Behringer 1002 @ $70, figuring it can be a backup mixer for my usual PA system, if my old Mackie loses the left channel output too (already) lost the right side!)
So, plugged the keyboard into the line inputs on the Behr. Nope. Channel volume up all the way, main slider up past unity, volume is still low unless I crank the keyboard volume way up (in which case its too loud out of the speakers, have to mute those with a plug in the headphone jack. So have plugged into the two 'line' inputs on channels 1 and 2 on the mixer, which really don't bypass the mic preamps as far as I can see. With the gain and volume controls on those channels at about 2 o'clock, there is now enough volume with the mixer's main slider at unity.
