Hello,
Has anyone tried to connect a guitar pedal / processor to any Motif keyboard? A wah pedal for lead sounds, an analog overdrive -possibly a vintage one- for the EP’s, a distortion pedal for guitar voices of Motif, etc.? For the record, I’ve been searching guitar gear for some time, and will probably have purchased either a Cry Baby SW-95 Slash signature or a Mister Cry Baby Super by the end of this week. The former is a wah pedal with a nice distortion, and the latter is a wah/volume pedal. What do you think it would sound like?
In one of the posts at this forum, someone has mentioned connecting one of the assignable outputs to a guitar amp and that it sounded awesome (I think this ‘someone’ was Phil).
Thanks… P.S. I know about the Neo-Ventilator; but not interested in ‘killer’ organ sounds. Also, that stuff is way too expensive. |

I used a Pod-X3 with clean electric guitar sounds from a Motif XS and thought the results were very nice. Certainly a lot of great tone possibilities. And yes, either Performance or Song / Pattern mode would work since they allow you to use the extra outs. |

Yeah, as long as you have a good amount of gain from the Motif, you should be good to go direct. If you like what you come up with, post some clips! |

Got my SW-95 at last!
Before explaning the term loop:
That’s why you have to loop:
A bit nonsense, right? I think the same :) Haven’t tried this connection yet, though. Scared to do any harm to My Motif. What do you think? Would it be safe? I’ll get a ‘true’ drive pedal next week; for now, I’m enjoying this wah (and VL of course) only. It’s fun!
Best Wishes,
