Hey Aspen, what's the word on the MK2.3 upgrade that you mentioned on the top of page 24 of this monster thread? Any ideas on the ETA?
-
If you're putting in a mono source, you won't get any advantage from the SS. As Aspen has posted, you'll need some sort of stereo effect on it to get anything useful. Reverb, chorus, stereo delay etc., would be likely candidates.
Of course. I'm running through a Pigtronix Echolution stereo delay/modulation. There are also stereo instruments where each pickup is output separately so that what you hear is like putting your head between the pickups. But stereo effects are very common, it's just that most non-keyboardists use them in mono.

So here's a question. Who here uses (or wants to use) the Spacestation but not for keyboards?
I'm an electric cellist who has wanted a full stereo sound since I heard John Scofield live with two chorusing Sundown amps.
For those of you non-keyboardists who have tried it, what do you think?

I hadn't reflected on that. I wonder where I first heard about it? At any rate, some of the first information I found about the SS3 after searching, was from this thread on this site (of which I wasn't a member yet, nor somehow had I ever heard of it, in spite of now seeing three or four people I share markets/groups/jobs with posting here, and one or two who play on stuff I've listened to for years). But I'm grateful, since now I guess I'm among the very first adopters of this cool box.
I actually found out about the Spacestation on Sweetwater and stumbled upon this forum when Googling for more info on it. I'd never heard of the MusicPlayer Forums before then.

How about "Funk Ewe".

You snooze - you ...If anyone is looking to sell their V3 please PM me. $750 is a bit steep for me to buy new. I live in Seattle.No snoozing here. I just found out about them a couple weeks ago.

Heads-up: SpaceStation keyboard amp is apparently back

Some people have mentioned connecting their source to the Behringer sub ins and passing the sub out signal to the SS so that the SS doesn't have to handle the LF that is already reproduced by the sub. It sounds like a great idea, but the Behringer sub outputs are balanced XLR, while the inputs of the SS are unbalanced 1/4". The big danger is that if you use an XLR to 1/4" cable that wires XLR pin 3 to shield you could damage the SS!
"When connecting an active-balanced output to an unbalanced load, it is necessary to leave the cold output (pin-3) floating. Using an XLR connector, pin-3 should not be connected to anything. If a cable is used with pin-3 tied to pin-1 (shield), the output amplifier could be damaged. This type of connection establishes a low/no impedance path to ground. This means the amplifier will drain current, unimpeded, into ground, which is stressful to the output amplifier." - http://community.avid.com/forums/t/58612.aspx
Is this true? What's the best way to connect them?
