SamuelBLupowitz Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 So I've been having a blast with my new Prologue 8, and one of the unexpected things I'm enjoying about it is how great it sounds in stereo. I'm a sucker for voice spread, the onboard reverbs and delays sounds killer, and I run my piano and organ in stereo anyway. One thing about that, though, is that I use a talkbox on synth pretty often, and my box is mono. The Prologue only has the main left and right outputs (plus a headphone output); there's no way to route patches to different outputs, or pan a mono patch to one output or the other. It's not a huge deal to just roll with mono synth at a gig, but I'm trying to brainstorm ways (just for fun) I could have my cake and eat it in my live rig. A stereo A/B box switching between the synth's stereo outputs and the always-running talkbox? Some sort of effects loop (again, wouldn't need the return with the talkbox, just a way to direct the signal there instead of a mixer/amp)? Anyway just kicking some ideas around on a Friday afternoon. Interested in anyone's thoughts. Quote Samuel B. Lupowitz Musician. Songwriter. Food Enthusiast. Bad Pun Aficionado.

You could send the channels that the Prologue is connected to that bus and just leave it muted when not using the talkbox, and then the talkbox's output can be routed back into the mixer as mono and sent out the main outputs. 1 Quote Instruments: Walters Grand Console Upright Piano circa 1950 something, Kurzweil PC4-88, Ibanez TMB-100 Studio Gear: Audient EVO16, JBL 305P MKII monitors, assorted microphones, Reaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImproKeys Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Maybe you could use one link output of a (stereo) DI box? You would need to mute/unmute the needed source in your (sub)mixer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
