wow....Lot many options.

Thanks for your time Bill.

I will try this out this weekend when we practice with the band.

When I say Works fine at home, it is 1/4" to 1/4" to Monitor (RolanD 350) and its really loud.

Let me get back to you after doing little homework on your suggestions.

You have opened a can of worms like options to test

Thanks so much

will do ajb

Bill, I had electricity failure ystdy, and it was gone for the day.

I am going to try this out today plugging into the SAME mixer at my friends.

Will have better update tonight.

Thank for all your help and suggestions

Got it working finally.

I was plugged in to 5/6, 7/8 ports on the mixer last week. So went to friends and checked it out today.

Bill , as you predicted it did loose signal when connected through 5/6. My other KB Friend had connected to Mixer via 1/4" --> DI box -- > XLR to XLR -- > mixer in Mic4 input in our last practice.

When I did the same connection today going through 1/4" to 1/4" --> DIBOX - XLR - XLR into Mic4 with same setting, My KB was much louder compared to when it was connected to 5/6 input.

your Suggestions really helped and I should be able to troubleshoot on any Mixer, now as I know M50 rocks

Thanks so much

This are the setting I tried

M50 -- 1/4" - 1/4" to DI BOX -- XLR to XLR input on Mixer (Mic4) --- Loudest sound

M50 -- 1/4" - 1/4" to DI BOX -- XLR to XLR -- Adapter to 1/4" input on Mixer (Mic 4) --- Loudest sound

M50 -- 1/4" - 1/4" to DI BOX -- XLR to 1/4" input on Mixer (5/6 input)--- Medium sound

M50 -- 1/4" - 1/4" input on Mixer (5/6) --- Medium sound

XLR to XLR from DI BOX into Mic input Wins the race here.

Previously I was going into 5/6 Left line in which was reducing the volumne by 50% I would say.

Using Mic 4, either of XLR or Adapter to 1/4" via DI BOX worked really loud.

Have to say that the solution didn't really occur to me until I looked at the mixer inputs on-line (and aint the net cool for instant research).

Deja-vu!

Your model is very similar to the old Mackie 1202-VLZ in its layout and connections -- reverse engineering anyone? (or possibly licenced) -- and I recall having to be quite careful about input order and priorities to get the most out of that as well.

Happy to have helped.

i dont know if u want to boost the global volume of the keys, or only specific sounds.

1- to boost global sound, i think there s a way to start the m50 in a different mode, to calibrate the knobs, joystick, touch screen, and all these stuff.. i think press 4 and Enter at the same time and turn on the keys.. i remember seeing a option that calibrates the global output of the m50. not really sure though..

2- to boost a specific sound, personally i chain in the ifx a Tube PreAmp effect, and boost the both Gain option to 1, or 2 db..
it doesnt affect alot the sound quality and gives a gd volume, specially when playing live

This is very much supportive and one more way to boost the patch.

I would try this out as well. Surely I want to be loud enough so other instruments don't dominate my playing

Thanks

I did try out increasing the db on Gain option and I have to say...it got louder and louder...

Way to go., this forum is a blessing

Thanks
