It's true! Drummer is already hard of hearing

That just solidifies my suspicion that guitarists are the main culprit

Funny thing is we are all in our 50s

That's what they tell me anyway when I tell them they are playing too loud. How do you get the imbeciles in your band to play quieter during practices? It's like the drummer and guitarist are in competition to be the first to go deaf. I may need to bow out. It's fun, but an average cover band is not worth getting tinnitus or hearing loss over....

Great information. Thanks guys!

It gets old after awhile. From a playing perspective too. I probably need more Wurly in my life.

Sorry, I'm not replacing the guitars, just fitting in with them. I edited my original post.

What do you like to do in situations where your band wants to cover guitar centric songs that contain no keys on the studio recording? For instance, my band wants to do "Fell On Black Days" by Soundgarden, and they want me to stay put and join in. I tend to fall on organ sounds in these situations, but I don't want people getting organ fatigue (so to speak). How do you like to fit in with a guitar heavy song, particularly as a rhythm instrument? Keep in mind, I'm talking about fitting in WITH guitar players. Assume there is at least one guitar player in the band.

Any idea why one of these (QS8) won't read a ROM card in the B slot, but will read a flash? I tried both the Vintage Keys ROMs, and neither works. But flash is fine.

OK, so I had a Vintage Keyboards Qcard in the A slot of both keyboards. I was using the B slot for the custom card. Seems that when I've removed both Qcards and put the custom one in the A slot (i'm getting aroused....), then it works fine on both keyboards. So.....WTF? My QS8 doesn't want to read the Vintage Keyboards card in slot B for some reason.

Stock User Mix 01 Pno&Strngs is piano and some kind of oohs instead of strings on both formatted banks of the qcard. Same thing using the card on the other keyboard. Like it's picking the wrong program. Is there something else I need to be doing to format these cards besides just storing the QS user bank to it?

Oh thank goodness someone knows what I'm talking about ... 🙏 Why would anything be different between the 2 if they both have been reset and the user banks are identical? Also, it only seems to be with mixes. When I save programs to the card, they transfer over just fine. I did a test ... if I save the user banks to the card from the QS, they mixe sent to the card immediately sound different, even on the same keyboard.

I'm having a baffling issue that is about to drive me insane. I'm hoping SOMEONE in here has some knowledge of what's going on. Help me Keyboard Corner, you are my only hope ..... I have an Alesis QS.7 and also a QS.8. The idea is I can use my QS.7 with my band, and leave it at the rehearsal spot. My QS.8 will stay at home where I can edit programs and mixes to have ready for songs we are doing. Problem is, the sounds I save on the card don't sound at all the same when I move the card between keyboards. Sometimes even having totally different program selections within mixes. I've done everything I can think of to remedy this .... restore both keyboards to factory, reloaded the stock user bank on both boards from a sysex file, formatted the card. Same behavior persists. I thought these 2 keyboards were the same programming??

Thanks. I'm in the minority of people who quite like that album. Probably because of the age I was when it was released. I remember walking an hour each way to the record store to buy it. It's one of my faves, too. Probably the best anti-war album ever. And, ironically, some of Gilmour's best work, IMO.

Love that song! Coincidentally, I enjoy playing that one myself. Good work!
