Yep, this is my guess still too, and thinking about it a problem with=20 the cable does seem like a good bet. I can't think of another reason=20 other than the output impedances that would account for the symptoms at=20 present. > One way to have confirmed this would have been to have seen if the > keyboard signal showed up in two channels on the mixer. That's a good point - I think the OP mentioned he did try this and=20 mentioned "crosstalk" across both channels. Trying again and checking=20 the levels would be a good idea (e.g. whether it's a short and the=20 levels are pretty much the same or just the small amount of coupling you=20 would expect from a long run of cable passing unbalanced signals) Another quick way would be to use a multimeter if one is handy. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
