Using a Radial KL-8

[ChrisNabil]

I have a Radial KL-8 that I have my monitors, sub, and keyboard running through. Any idea whether it is recommended to use the MAIN OUTPUT or MONITOR OUTPUT to channel my monitors and sub through? also, I got a USB-to-iPhone connection cable hoping I could plug in my iPhone and play music directly via YouTube however, my phone is saying that it cannot support KL-8 as it is too much power? any idea how to go about doing this?

Many thanks!

There's probably a workaround. You need to insert a powered USB Hub right after the adapter.

That will resolve the problem?

It should unless your basement is infested with elves

Any of these should do.

Amazon.com : 8 port usb 3.0 powered hub

Personally I'm using 2 x 16 port hubs with my mac mini.

we have some crazy things happening at home but elves?... all clear at the moment lol!

Caveat : This should fix the hardware error message.

It does not address any software problems associated with the lack of iOS support.

btw. Use MAIN for recording output and Monitor for monitors.

Here's an idea of my layout. Just unplug Linux and substitute Mac for the computer.

Cool!... what do you think of your Hydrasynth? whats the Poly aftertouch like?

The poly aftertouch is great for playing live but for MIDI recording it just sends too much info at once and overloads the MIDI Buffers.

I have to downgrade to channel aftertouch when recording.

And ribbon controllers are ALWAYS great fun
