bernie,
if you also want to control the mic vol, you have a tab at the bottom of the main screen that allows just that, with a touch screen slider (from memory!!) PLUS you could program a couple of setups with varying starting levels and assign then to a songbook entry....

Oops, I must have globally written over something. I can't get any sound from the PA800 through midi. When I get a back from my church job, I will look into it.

Try sending the mic out of teh separate outputs...or maybe send the sequences that way ! ( of course, this will only work if you are using an external sopund system )

that would work dave, but the seperate outs are a dry signal, ie no system/insert efx are routed to the alternate outs..

I have loaded some SMF's on the TD and songs in my songbook, and am headed out for a gig tommorrow. This way I won't have any nasty surprises.

Thanks guys and Rikki

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the mic effects will come through the separate outs because they are not linked to any of the 4 processors. The harmonizer has it's own dedicated effects.
Again, I haven't tried it, but that's my take on it.

Hi Bernie,
did you get your midi sorted out??
best wishes

Tonight, I finally got the PA800 playing from my laptop. It turns out that I had to load the driver in, eventhough the port was recognised by my laptop without it before.

Tomorrow, I will try some of the suggestion from Miden, UD, etc.

The sound from the PA800 is worth it.

Bernie glad you got it working the way you want....tell us more.

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.

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.
