  1. I have bought two replacement amplifiers when my ZXA1s started cutting out after warming up. They were rebuilt units from a Canadian company and worked fine. Very easy to replace.
  2. I’m also using 2 K8s. Lately I have found that placing the speakers with tweeters at ear level with centerlines even with each end of my keyboard, just 6 or so inches behind the keyboard, works for me in most situations. That allows me to turn the speakers toward or away from me to let me hear enough of myself while setting overall volume loud enough for the situation.
  3. I’m having some success with Apple Air Pod Pro 2 on “Transparency” mode. They bring down the overall level without rolling off the highs like some plugs and dampen sudden peaks. They may not work as well if you are singing, because, oddly, they seem to block most of my own voice when I’m talking.
  4. I’ve been playing with the same saxophonist, drummer, and bassist since 1972 (52 years). When people ask me how we stayed together, my response is, “low standards.”
  5. Slightly OT, but I use a foldable music desk that I clip to my music stand that can display six pages at once. It is made of paper-covered plastic foam and folds up to about 10x10x0.75 inches. It weighs almost nothing.
  6. I used to use Scotch tape, but found that it would split over time. Recently I realized that Scotch tape has a grain to it that makes it easy to split lengthwise by practically impossible to break lengthwise. I now just tape in the back in three places, but using the tape counterintuitively across the page gap, not along the page gap, if that makes sense. i did try cloth medical tape for awhile, but found that the opposing pages glued themselves together over time.
  7. I have kept the legs at the same length for many years, because I always play sitting down and shortening the legs wouldn’t help in transport. If your case, if the tape idea doesn’t work, you might try drilling a hole through the inner and outer legs and inserting a bolt with nut.
  8. Can you further explain what the wobble is? Is it side-to-side or front-to-back?
  9. Garantovic, I think turning the volume to 0 for the local keyboard sound in your saved performance was how I used to do this. My error for thinking it was zone off that could do this.
  10. I used to use a Hammond emulator on my phone with my CP4. There was, indeed, a way to deactivate triggering internal sounds and save that setting with a performance. I have neither the keyboard nor the manual anymore. Keep looking! It’s in there somewhere. looking in the CP4 Reference Manual online, I think you disable the zone using the ZoneSw setting in the Master Keyboard Area. I think this disables internal sounds for that zone - maybe.
  11. I bought a bag of six one-foot extension cords for very little to plug into the strip as needed. Every wall wart turns into an in-line wart with these, so they use only one space in the strip.
  12. Well, it seems like the sax and guitar players got all the dates!
  13. There’s a simple formula: subtract your age from 100 pounds!
  14. In this case, I would organize each patch to cover four sounds and use four scenes to unmute individual sounds. You could use all 8 scenes, but switching scene banks is an extra step.
