Thanks Norman. I've just ordered it so it should be with me on Tuesday. (Got a brilliant deal from Soundslive in Newcastle.) That gives me three days to...
I know its a nosey question, but I'd also really like to know how good the deal was -I've been phoning around UK dealers recently about weighted Stages to add...
Hi all- If you haven't heard of this amp, check it out. They were in production a few years ago, then they stopped selling them. Apparently they made some...
I have one of the ones they discontinued about 18 months ago. It is OK for very small set ups but has very little bass response without an attached sub. It...
I'm anxious to hear how it sounded at gig volume. Does the sound change with higher volumes? Does that model have a tube preamp? If memory serves me, the old...
Tom, No tubes. I never actually took mine on a gig, I just compared it to my Barbetta, and the Barbetta was louder ( 400W) and had a lot more bottom (15")....
I had a chance to try it last night wih the band, and it sounded really sweet, I was extremely impressed. Never had to turn it up past about 3 on the volume...
I currently have the XL version of the C7 loaded. I wanted to also have the Steinway but didn't want to delete the other pianos except for the uprights. As you...
Amplification is crucial. All the keyboard amps like the Rolands and the Peaveys have a pretty unpleasant tone IMO. A possible exception might be the stereo...
I sold my Electro and upgraded to the Stage last year. Hope you guys will share your experiences with me, because it occurs to me (I'm a little slower these...
David, I would say that this is typical of the Stage. You can drive the organ level up using the drive control or the rotary drive control, but it doesn't...
I've posted about this before but I can provide a little update. I have the older version of the SFX 100, which I picked up for cheap as they were being blown...
The Organ Swell Pedal or Control Pedal set to organ makes a huge difference. ... occurs to me ... sections ... sections. ... pianos ... above, but ... and...
Hi Group. It's correct about the swell- or control-pedal. But it's certainly not done only by connecting such a thing. The output level from the organ section...
Here's how I've sort of solved that problem: I route the Organ to outputs 3&4, and then use the built in EQ to boost the Organ. I generally don't use any of...
I need a trombone sound, but don't want to schlep additional rack gear around just for one solo. Any suggestions on how to create a trombonish synth patch that...
Uh, start with a sawtooth waveform and rolloff the filter a bit and slow the attack a bit and see what you can do from there. i really haven't messed with...
It seems the NHC88 is not in stock anywhere I can find. I have a guy that will custom build me one for 329 US. Has anyone found a decent hard case for their...
I put a couple of patches in the files/patches folder. trombone.syx and trumpet.syx. The trombone one is the basic sawtooth idea as suggested by Norm with a...
Could someone please provide easy to follow instructions on how to load patches from the files/patches folder onto the stage? Thanks! ... From: ipcmcc...
Very cool! Thanks to you and Norm. I understand about the non-literal sonic emulations, but in a lot of ways I'd rather have something close but vibey versus a...
Download it from the Group's folder onto your computer. Using a program like snoize (freeware for the Mac:http://www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/ and with midi...
I recently sold my C1. I loved that keyboard, but eventually I realized it was a luxury for me. Got some great use out of it though, and found it a good...
They both have a distinctive Nordishness about them, and so in that sense, the difference is not as great as, say, between the Stage and the Hammond XK-1. But...
Regarding playing your Compact with your VMK: I heard a very noticeable difference in the quality of my Stage88's piano sounds when I played them from my KX88....
In a word, yes. I haven't done any measurements, but it certainly seems like triggering the Stage from the VMK produces more volume and a different tone. I'm...
