Key Largo EFX Receive as Mono input?

Postby Schorsch » 28 Jul 2018, 08:28

Hi,

I‘m using a NS3 and 2 other synths and am looking for a relatively compact keyboard mixer. I need 3x stereo inputs (NS3 outputs 1+2 plus 2x Stereo outputs from the other 2 synths) and 1x mono input for the NS3 Output 3 which is for the organ sound through a Ventilator II. I am thinking of using the Radial Key Largo for this, but since it features only 3 stereo input channels for instruments (the 4th channels is for USB connected soft synths) I was wondering if it’s possible to ‘misuse’ the EFX Receive channel to feed in the mono organ signal from the Ventilator II. Does anyone know this or maybe did something like this?

I haven't tried this, but I think it might work out. You'd use the EFX return level to set the level of your instrument. No guarantees, although I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work.
I think I have gear issues ....

So, was I right? Is it working as you want with the Key Largo?

Yes it worked this way but I’m not using it because I wanted the Vent in “stereo” as well. Since I reduced the number of synths on stage to 2 at max it’s no problem with the Key Largo
