Mic sounds great through the pa1000 and yes it does have a mic volume but I am forever changing it because when you turn up the keyboard the mic volume gets louder faster so you then have to turn down the mic volume and the reverse is also true. My roland vp7 is a super under rated unit and gives me great harmony parts
and acts like a mic mixer plus effects unit and I can even get a full choir plus it have compression and many other features but
for small nursing home gigs sometimes I have to go light.Just keyboard speakers. Nowhere near the great sound I like. I wish
modern arrangers would have a straight output for mic not affected by master volume control.
