I was wondering what most of you use in terms of connections from the Motif to the amps on stage.

I think you’ll be more than satisfied using the LR 1/4” main outs, and more than likely (depending on your voices/music style) a mono out for live playing is acceptable. As for the wiring, I typically run 1/4” from the XS main outs into a (or pair) direct box (DI) to convert to an XLR if your using a snake to your main mixing board. If your going straight into the mixer - you may not need to use DI boxes. I have not heard of using the digital out in a live scenario, as most live venues are analog - a good sound guy will make all the difference as well. Let us know how it goes! Good luck! |

I agree with Alaskan...use the analog outs. there is no advantage to going dig out into a converer box.

yeah, I’d go with the L/R...if you go with the digital out, I don;t think you can control the volume with the volume slider on the XS...at least I can’t when I connect the digital out, maybe I don;t know how but something to keep in mind...let us know your exp on stage with the XS. good luck! |

One of the hardest things for me to adapt to on stage was to leave my volume alone and trust the sound engineer… :) |

If you’re only using the one synth, going L/R out will work fine. If you have multiple keyboards then a small mixer will work better. I use a yamaha MG10/2 mixer and can send stereo L/R out to the snake-main console and send L/R out to my amp via the L/R control room out. I can then adjust the control room out volume levels to my stage amp while unaffecting the levels out to the main mix. |
