So the only beneficiary of stereo would be the player if he or she is monitoring themselves using the onboard speaker system of the keyboard. Or, an audience if there were two speakers spaced wide apart.
Think we've had this discussion several times and no one every seems to agree. wink

Gary cool

Maybe a factor your overlooking. "In the right situation" stereo will also give a depth to your sound. Meaning not everything will be up front in your face like mono. I've done tons of jobs where mono was all you could do but again ,in the right situation, you will sound bigger, fuller and more natural in stereo.
Not that many of our audiences will know why it sounds better but it will.
Why do we listen to music at home or in our cars "in stereo" ?
OK ,like Donny, I'm out !!!
