Hobo Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 So after nearly 20 years of gigs with MainStage I fancy going all hardware with a YC73. But- I often play LH bass and used a separate send on my sound card for FOH. Can the YC be hard panned so I can have mono bass on the left out and all the keys on the right out so the sound engineer can mix totally independently? Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElmerJFudd Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I do not believe so, it’s been discussed on the big YC thread. However, it has been requested on the Yamaha ideascale. Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 Ah that’s a shame. Isn’t there a work around- is there no individual patch pan setting? Or was that the work around using the stereo Tremelo I seem to remember… shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherScott Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 The workaround discussed (which I never tried) is to use the Auto Pan effect, and set the rate to 0, and set the depth at one extreme or the other, which is supposed to "fix" the sound to one side or the other. But apparently it is not saved that way in the Live Set, so when you recall the patch, it doesn't automatically come up that way, and you have to set it again. But yes, this is a real and significant limitation for people considering one of these boards for a LH bass scenario. There is a request for this feature at ideascale, you can upvote it at https://yamahasynth.ideascale.com/c/idea/251456 In the mean time, the "most portable" solution is to use the MIDI zone function to get your bass sound out of an iPhone or iPad, which will have its own output. 1 Quote Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug!

Analogaddict Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I’ve used a SonicCell for this kind of stuff. The CP/YC series are good at Midi..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherScott Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Yeah, a small module is another great way to go (cleaner connectivity, too). I wish there were more of them to choose from, but Sonic Cell is a good one. Quote Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug!

Steve Beach Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I use an Alesis Nanobass. A great investment it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Roland JX-08 module has been my solution to the YC's synth shortcomings, a lot of fake-analog synth for the money, in a small package! But I'll let you in on a secret. I've used everything for live synth bass over the years - Moogs, DSI, Roland, Arturia, Korg, Hammond, Alesis, Yamaha, ARP, plugins, bass guitar samples...and the winner? The Roland SH-2. Find one, buy it, trust me. They're not overpriced (yet) and when fixed up is pretty reliable for a vintage analog.
