I got rid of my pair of SM-58s several years ago, just never liked the overall voice quality, but that may be because I'm not a power singer, and that mic seemed to perform best for power singers. I still have my Sennheiser E855 and Samson Q7, both of which are great handheld mics. Until a couple days ago, I had 3 Crown CM-311As, but one headed south for the winter. Should be in central LA by tomorrow afternoon. ![wink wink](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wink.gif) Cheers, Gary ![cool cool](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/cool.gif)

I should have said northwest LA. Remember, I used to live in Palestine,, TX and spent a fair amount of time in Bossier City during the early 60s when it was a wide open town.

Twisting knobs...
In my opinion every totl arranger should have 4 free assignable knobs.. Its currently the most forgotten feature in arrangers..... For real time control purposes.. BK-9 has two sliders assignable to control any two insert effect parameters, and THREE sliders freely assignable to sound editing or tweaking while you play... Nice... but arent those the same sliders to be used with track volume, organ drawbars, general arranger setting and much more depending on which mode you are in? On top of that non motorized sliders are allways in the wrong position and as soon as you touch them the parameter jumps to the slider position... Whhere as a knob is by nature allways in the right position (if they use the right type of knobs) and thats a huge difference for me.. Well, for starters, forget motorized faders! Nothing has those. BK-9 has 10 sliders (plus 5 knobs and 4 Assignable SW). In general arranger play mode, they default to MFX 1 & 2 (assignable to which MFX and which parameter you want per Performance), CC 1, 2 & 3 (same), then M.Int, MBS, LWR, and UPR 1 & 2 volumes. In Hammond sim mode, they default to the 9 drawbars and an overall volume (selectable pre or post overdrive). In mixer mode, 8 of them default to the 8 style Parts. Works pretty well, overall. BTW, there are 4 Assign SW's by the bender (bit like the SA buttons on a Tyros) but they are freely assignable to a myriad of functions. Of course, we could always ask for more sliders, buttons and knobs, but at the price point, I think it's the most flexible... BTW, the sliders don't jump their values. You have to slide them through the value of the parameter before anything starts to happen. This is the best way, IMO.
