A continuous controller like the FC7 offers the most control, of course. But there is a way to use a footswitch with an expression pedal input jack o...
Yes, most likely ground loop. This won't happen with DIN MIDI because MIDI (thank goodness!) is required by the specification to be optically isolate...
... AND, that's the good news. In my experience, just one side nearly always sounds better than summed to mono. It depends on how the sounds use s...
You call that high frequency? Anyway, as a Rhodes owner since 1978, I can tell you that this is how a Rhodes sounds when you let up a key. (If you...
You're right that it's not that problematic. When adjusting the reverb for your mono patch, just monitor it the same way you'll be using it live (tha...
I'm with Bad Mister. I always run stereo for my monitor. If I send to FOH and they only have mono, then I send just the right side. [I find that the...
Yeah, I bet it's phantom power. I forgot to mention this as yet another thing a DI box handles, so I'll edit my post and add it. I doubt it's impe...
Both outputs work at the same time on my CP4. For one band rehearsal setup, I send XLR outputs to the band mixer, and the 1/4" outputs to my small mo...
By default, MIDI Channel 1 is the main channel for the XK (controlling the whole instrument, and notes for the upper manual). Channel 2 is for the lo...
Why isn't the CP4 compatible with iPad Camera Connection Kit? That kit provides DIN MIDI in/out connectors for the iPad or iPhone. In what way is th...
Bad Mister: We must be miscommunicating, because your last post doesn't contain anything I don't know, and it doesn't change my suggestion. The rea...
I suggest setting the XK's main (upper manual / control) channel to something other than 1, 2, or 3. This way, any CP4 performance will not trigger t...
Regarding pedals, I believe Jim means he wants to use two zones on the CP4, with the lower zone feeding the XK's MIDI channel for pedals, and the uppe...
Great article, thanks! The CP4's ability to have two expression pedals is impressive, and the CP40's ability to have one is creditable. I have yet...
