Killerloop Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hi! I am playing 3 keyboards (S90ES, Nord Stage, a PSR9000) and my Computer (AU/VST Instruments) I play in 2 Bands (one is a Rockband with 2 Guitars where I have to play Organ, Piano, Epiano and some Synth Stuff (Leads and lots of PADS!) The other one is a not so loud band (Jazztrio or sometimes a singer. And then sometimes I play alone with my PSR 9000 (So also Brass Sounds etc. Till now i just heard myself from the PA (I had no Monitormix) So i want to buy a Moonitor. (I think a 12" Speaker would be a very nice choice) HK Dart or Dynacord AM12. For small Gigs i could use them as a PA too! (Just for small section with a sainger and Bass or so.) But now I heard from specific Keyboard Amps. Motion Sound (e.g KBR 3D Is this a better choice than Stagemonitors? Can i take the Monitorsignal from the rest of the band and put them into this too? Is it good as a mini PA, or a as a normal Monitorbox (on Gigs i would put the Monitorsignal in this box too and mix them in the box) Which are the pros and cons between such a Keyboard AMP and normal Stagemonitors like HK DART or Dynacord AM 12?

Bob Stiffler Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Killerloop: Take a look at a Roland KC-300. Maybe the newer model is KC-350. My KC-300's are a 12 inch speaker plus a horn. They have a four channel mixer input and a 100 watt output which I think will handle your needs. They sound good and weigh about 40 lbs. I use two of them because the stereo effect is a good thing. I to have a S90 ES, but do most of my gigging using my old Alesis QS-8. Bob Stiffler Bob Stiffler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phred Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Let me point you to another thread where the exact same question was asked, and some good answers were given: http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?/ubb/get_topic/f/18/t/018353 Check out who the original author was... I'm just saying', everyone that confuses correlation with causation eventually ends up dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Stiffler Bob Stiffler For what you'd spend on a pair of the Rolands, you could get the Motion Sound KP-200S. I tried the older Roland KC 300 and thought the acoustic pianos were quite poor and "clangy". I hear the newer Rolands are better, however (the 350, 550, etc.). The Motion Sound would suffice on it's own for your quieter gigs and has XLR outputs that can go to a PA if you need more volume. I hope this is of help. aka âmisterdregsâ Nord Electro 5D 73 Yamaha P105 Kurzweil PC3LE7 Motion Sound KP200S Schimmel 6-10LE QSC CP-12 Westone AM Pro 30 IEMs Rolls PM55P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killerloop Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Hi Thanks. Di you think the Motion sound (I would like to have the KBR 3d ist also good for Synth Sounds, Ac Piano and Brass Sections? (I know it is very good for Organ and Vintage EPianos) Is it OK to play Midifiles thru it? Imean there has to be everything (Bass Drums, Brass Guitar etc) Or is for this a Stagemonitor the better choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
