Organ Output Routing

[j_cohen]

Does anyone know of a way to route the organ section to one of the first 2 outputs, and route the piano section in mono to the other of the first 2 outputs? I have a gig coming up where I'd like to send the Clav sound in mono to a guitar amp and the organ in mono to a Leslie, and I'd like to be able to use the internal reverb on both. And the reverb only works on the first two outputs.

I remember from my days with an Electro 2 that there was a way to isolate the organ to one output and send all the other keyboard sounds in mono out the other. Anyone figure out how to do this with the Stage 2?

Thanks!

Hi J Cohen,

As far as i am aware, anything routed thru Outputs 1&2 will have FX on it and anything thru 3&4 will be dry. You can split 3&4 into individual MONO's but i really do not think you can do the same with 1&2. My only guess to get around this would be to (unfortunately) use a sperate second keyboard for the Organ or Piano (tho i am sure you have already considered this option dude).

Best,

Paul

Right, 1 and 2 are stereo with reverb, 3 and 4 can be stereo or mono without reverb. The only sounds you can send mono out 1 and 2 would be synth section sounds, where you could pan one left and one right within the synth panel itself.

The simplest solution would be to buy small external reverb pedals (or a rack unit) and run your 3 and 4 outs into reverb on the way to the amps.

You could try to use the effects section.

Use panel A for organ: enable A-Pan effect, turn amount knob and rate completely clockwise. That should pan the panel A organ section to the left channel (output 1).

Then use panel B for piano section. Also enable A-Pan effect, turn the amount knob completely clockwise and the rate completely clockwise. That should pan your piano section in panel B to the right channel (output 2).

That's what I was talking about when I said you could pan synth sounds left and right... I was mistakenly thinking that the pan function was in the synth panel, not the fx panel. You're right, since pan is in the fx section, that should work to move piano or organ to one side.

Hi folks,

Thats a very good solution offered by Whitenoise.

i had a fairly similar scenario myself recently in that i made some split-point programs (eg. left hand bass with right hand piano etc) and wanted different FX (ie. reverb and compression) on each instrument and to come out of only two Outputs (i don't want much do i !!). But after seeking advice (as i could not make this work) it was obvious that it is not at all possible.

So (similar to what Another.Scott was suggesting), i have the Piano coming out of Outputs 1&2 (routed thru the Nord onboard FX) and the bass (dry) thru Outputs 3&4 and routed thru an external FX module (Lexicon rackmount) for application of some light reverb (and some gates on the synthy bass sounds). Of course this means i have to take a 1U Lexicon with me on gigs and a small mixer to house 4 x inputs, but i guess thats nothing compared to J. Cohen carrying his Leslie speaker around with him !!

Best,

Paul
