I,m part way there. I attached the Bose Tonewheel(a small mixer/effects unit optimized for Bose) to the #1 audio in jack of the PA800. I am sending mic and audio. This gives me control of the mic, including voice processor, with more headroom. The audio can be conrolled by the mixer since the feed is from my Echo pcmcia card.

Miden and Rikki

The change from volume to expression on my continuous pedal has allowed me to compensate for less master volume on loud SMF's. It works great.

If I can remember to lower SMF volume to half , on the laptop, I can be with range of relative manueverability. I thought of sending the midi from the PA800 back to another channel on the mixer, but that probably would create a loop since it would go back into the keyboard.

Thanks to all, afterall, we don't live in a perfect world.
