[QUOTE="Devin Navarro, post: 219064, member: 17654"] Hello, I'm a gigging keyboard player. I play in many bands where I end up playing left hand bass, to the point where it's become a part of my reputation over the past few years, "hire this guy and his hand independence is so good you won't need to hire a bass player", etc. So, I do this often enough I have some questions for how FOH guys generally prefer routing. I just gig with one keyboard, I don't like lugging around a multi-keyboard setup. For rock/pop gigs, generally a wide variety of patches are needed. So, on the keyboard itself I hard pan all of my bass patches (normally just a bass gtr sample model or a synth) to the left channel, and everything else (pianos, rhodes, synths, etc) to the right channel. That way the basses have their own output that can be run to the subs. For jazz gigs, if I'm playing bass it means I'm playing Hammond B3. With the clonewheel (digital organ) I have, everything is routed through the same stereo outputs. Since on the organ bass and chords are played on the same patch, you can't split what gets routed where. Plus, with the digital leslie speaker most of the time I want that in stereo. Is this a big deal to not have the bass on its own output? What makes this easiest for you guys? [/QUOTE]
