  1. It repeatedly drives me bananas that I can't just sit down and record directly from this thing...

    • because the line-out jack cuts off the speakers
    • and I haven't been able to figure out how to get to the enclosure where the line-out jack is wired, so I can rewire it.

    The line-out is also the headphones jack, so it's not like I can leave a pair of headphones plugged in so that all I have to do is plug in the line-out.

    What I have to do, because this is not a dedicated recording setup, is set it to playing the demo, plug in the line-out, then go back over to the computer to adjust the levels (using software which does the bare-bones of what it needs to do -- I can't just load a "keyboard recording" profile; I have to mousually (musually?) adjust each slider, including turning down those which normally are used for other things...

    I'm seriously looking at getting another e-piano (preferably one with weighted keys and which sounds Really Good, of course) -- but of the dozens I've looked at, almost none of them show a photo of the back panel (every other angle, yes) and few if any describe the analog I/O options.

    I suppose if I were a Real Keyboardist™, I'd have a set of really good sounds loaded on the computer and just play them through MIDI. I've figured out how to do the "play music on the PC via MIDI' part, but not the "recording those sounds" or "really high-quality samples" parts.

    (Open to ideas, or suggestions for a better keyboard, suggestions for open-source audio-input mixing software that does profiles...)

  2. Has anyone out there fixed a Roland digital piano? I got an FP30 for free, but there's no sound from the internal speakers. Headphone output is fine. Going to take it apart and poke around tomorrow #DIYrepair #DIYmusic #electronics #DigitalPiano

  4. Hey #Klavier Folks.
    Mal angenommen, man würde sich ein Einstiegs-Digital-Piano kaufen wollen. Welches würdet ihr denn da so empfehlen? Transportabel wäre gut, Bluetooth Midi auch.
