Can I hook this up to a piano keyboard, laptop/ipod and a sound system to perform on stage together? My goal is to play piano and have backing track

Hi Gloria, I don't have any "top-of-the-line" keyboard, however, when I tried to get hook up my keyboard to it and run the mixer to the laptop I didn't hear a thing through the system or the main mix/phones on the mixer. I'm guessing you may need a Direct Input (DI) Box to pass the keyboard through first before routing to the mixer. Other than that, yes you should be able to do what you thinking of doing. Hope this helps. :)

You have to have an app going. Garage band works well with it. It is basically a small midi keyboard.

Yes. The inputs on the bottom are combination 1/4" and XLR. What you need is a cable that is stereo on one side (the keyboard side) that splits into two mono 1/4" plugs (left and right). Plug the left mono cable into the left jack on the bottom and the right cable into the right side. You can set the left/right panning on the unit to get your desired mix, then use overdub mode to lay down the keyboard track. Simple. Ignore the other posts referring to output and the bloke that said "No." It works and does a fine job.

Yes it can. I use it as one all the time. It has MIDI in and outs or use can use USB to MIDI.

I don't use an amp with this keyboard, I just plug it into my Mac, as I use it with Pro Tools. I'm pretty sure that since it is a line out of the keyboard, you can use just about anything, with money being your only limitation. Why don't you check out a powered monitor/speaker from Yamaha or Mackie?

I have four ts outputs from two keyboard (ts) outputs going into my mixer (and an XLR mike), so I think it should work for you. You might not be able to balance the three instruments as independently as you may want, possibly, since the mixer inputs are paired (1 with 2 and 3 with 4), but you can use the pan knob to tweak the balance that way. I've got stereo pairs going in so it works well for what I do. And the sound quality is very very good for the price.

You can connect Xenyx to pc... Also, u can connect the piano to xenyx... My piano requires a stereo cable so I bought a y cable that connects to L and R. It is possible and its better if you have good monitors/speakers

This specific device is a midi controller, which means: it will run off of the USB power to and from you computer but has to be related to your computer and the sound travels over the USB as well. It's a midi controller not a piano. this specific piece of equipment is used for recording purposes mainly, although i use it for just playing around as well. but yes you can hook up your stereo to your computer or head phones.

If the piano has a input it should work. Not sure it would sound good through a piano. If you are that close to the piano use a wired mic. This VHF wireless mic sounds very telephone like. There is a lot of static and it sounds like you are talking over a CB radio. Get a $15 dollar wired mic and a cheap cable.

Yes you can. Both actually. If it connects via midi you can hook it right into the maschine. If it connects via USB then just plug it into your computer and the software will pick it up. Just go to audio and midi settings and make sure your keyboards input is turned on.

It won't do anything. It needs some sort of program running to make noise. MIDI controllers like this are just buttons in the shape of a keyboard that tell your computer what to do. There are some free plugins/programs you could can use for piano sounds or synths. I use Alicia's Key's by Native Instruments, but that costs money (but it's worth it imo). You can use a laptop or even a tablet with the right adapters if you have those. In short, the keyboard itself doesn't make any noise without other software.

Its a midi controller, so no. You would have to hook it up to a computer, and hook tjat up to an amp.

I believe you could. You have another input on the amp but I don't know how good quality sound for a keyboard you could get. I think it would be decent but not sure.

At this right moment I'm depending only on my ipad2 and Alesis iO Dock. I have the latest updates. Uses are for Galileo organ on stage and beatmaker2.

Yes you can, but don't expect the sound will be good as it should be since it wasn't designed for keyboards.

This unit is designed to be used as a guitar effect pedal so it only has a mono jack input. The output of a keyboard is higher that a guitar signal so it could distort the output signal, but having said that, I am sure that it would still work as an effect pedal but will not produce a stereo output.

I have this keyboard and use a Roland CM-30 Cube Monitor with it. The Cube monitor works extremely well and has a very clean and unfiltered sound (which was important for me since I play mostly classical piano). It's also great since it's actually a mini PA with 3 inputs and a preamp for use with mics and other instruments.
