Hi,
Sometimes I want to play along with some percussion loops from my iPad, but monitor input is routing only to headphones. I think it will be a great feature to have the option to route the monitor input to main out.
Thank You

The Stage 3 can do this.

Maybe in a next firmare upgrade...

No, that will not happen because it is a HW design limitation, it cannot be fixed by SW/FW.

You should rather buy a small mixer, like a Behringer 502 or similar (or at least a passive stereo one), which is cheap and anyway a "good to have" for any keyboard player.

Hi, I had the same situation. Was playing with a drum machine app on my iphone. In the end I just used the headphone output as the main output. Worked fine in a fairly small jazz type gig setting.

You need a special cable though, dont just plug a regular jack cable into the headphone output. Get something like this :

It is in my opinion the most strange things that this monitor input not can used with the normal outputs ?
totaly useless . . .

The QnD solution is of course to use the headphone output instead of Main out towards PA or wherever You connect it.
