Coker

I keep a large black bedsheet in my car to cover all my equipment if I have to leave it in my car. From outside, the car storage area looks empty.

Thanks for all of your thoughtful replies. You have some good ideas that I’ll see if I can use within my workflow.

Sometimes I want to transpose the keyboard for a section of a song, then bring it back to concert, also during a song. the normal way to do this on the YC is to press the Transpose button, then twist the main knob to display the desired semitone transposition. You must twist the knob back to “0” to return to concert C. On other boards, I have been able to set the desired transposition before the beginning of the song, and toggle transpose on and off with one button. Has anyone figured out a hack for this on the YC besides setting up untransposed and transposed performances?

Apple iPod Pro 2 in Transparency mode with gain turned down works great for me.

I look forward to your review. My older Phonaks need to be turned way down or off so as not to distort piano when I play or listen to music. I have a setting that removes the compression that helps somewhat, but the distortion remains. Stupid aging!

Feet are about 1/4 inch and it looks like they are part of the case mold, but I doubt if that would matter. They would just put little divets in the padding. This assumes the moDX+ case is same as MoDX

So, anyway, about the OP’s question…

Sadly, this picture of Lucy has not been photoshopped.

I once in awhile hit a panel button while flailing away, or the mod wheel moves a little with vibration and activates whatever effect it’s hooked to at the position I’ve left it at (rather than all the way down). This can lead to some unanticipated mods to your sound.

I have a YC88 that I use for acoustic piano oriented gigs and a MODX8 for all others. I do play B3 on both as a background or layering sound, but have started to explore B3 as a soloing instrument. Ironically, the supposedly inferior keybed in the MODX allows pain free and effective palm smears, while the superior YC88 does not. With the YC88, one must do “thumb smears,” and even those don’t work very well. Have you found other weighted keyboards that better support organ technique?

It is happening to me as we speak. The quartet I’ve played with for 57 years is playing its last gig in September at a winery. It’s being publicized by the winery as our last gig. Bass player has arthritis and can’t play more than about an hour without complaining. Drummer has to be dropped off by his wife because he has Alzheimer’s. The sax and I will play on as a duo or with other people. This aging thing is a real pain.

Too funny… when I had a Roland, this customer always wanted me to play an intro to Blue Moon using the scat voices, which I always had to end with “Yow”.

To the best of my memory, whenever I tried using both XLR and 1/4 inch outputs, one or the other would not work correctly. It was as if it is not meant to drive both pairs of outputs at once. Needless to say, this was very disappointing.

I attached a string loop to the heal of the pedal and loop it around one leg of my stool. It tries to get away but it can’t. I’ve been doing this for decades.

I think the issue may relate more to current drawn when charging the light's battery, not how much the led uses
