I did a quick experiment with my Casio CTK-4000 and a bass amp, just to satisfy my own curiosity, hooking them up with a mono 1/4" TRS cable.
When the keyboard volume control was under 50% (12 o'clock) the sound was decent. When I turned the keyboard volume up past 50%, it seemed to overdrive the amp and cause distortion.
That's why I asked in the other thread where you set your keyboard volume. If you're cranking it up to compete with guitar & bass, you might be causing the distortion you're talking about.
Hope this helps,
Willie
I"m plugging 1/4" cable from the phone/out jack into my Roland KC-150 (60 Watt) keyboard amp. When I do this though, and crank the amp up to top levels to compete with the guitarist and bassist's 100 watt amps, the sounds on my keyboard are tinny sounding and distorted.
Only thing I can think of is running a line out of my amp to our PA system and just using my Roland amp as a monitor for me on stage.
My question is I"m assuming my phone/out jack is stereo, but I believe the Roland amp is just mono inputs. Do I need a stereo-to-mono type of cable? What's the best way to set up my YPG-625 so I get a rich sounding piano in live shows... DI box in the mix somehow? Any adivce would be helpful. THANKS
