Hi, Bill –

I did some testing last night until it got too late to continue but everything you said is correct. I had no problem setting the changes in Panel Memories and filing them and they loaded the same way as filed. In other words, the APC “On-Screen” doesn’t default. A question – is the APC On-Screen set up exactly as the physical APC/Sequencer Volume? As you know, the On-Screen just shows APC. It could be because of not enough room to show Sequencer. This all sounds simple and easy but what I have run into is that this does not affect the Rt 1 and Rt 2 volumes. Dropping the On-Screen APC volume, the Rt 1 and Rt 2 tracks are way too loud and also have to be adjusted in every Panel Memory. It requires some work but I will get through it.

One other question – is there a very small compressor/limiter that the mic can be connected to and it go into the mic input in the keyboard? If so, is there any problem of it being an overload or whatever for the keyboard? I have already stated that I am not anxious to buy extra anything to take on a gig. I ask this because I have a very good mic that is directional. The old theory, the more directional the mic is, the more expensive it is. When singing, if you move away from it, even just a bit, the volume of the voice drops. A compressor/limiter solves this problem because it balances out soft sounds with controlling too loud sounds. I have a very fine large compressor/limiter that I have used for recording but I don’t want to consider it on a job.
