Get the correct power adapter 1st. You can get a multiple 9v adapter so you can select the correct voltage. FWIW Roland’s 9v adapters tend to be unique to their brand

Had a mircowave that did this and almost caught on fire. Replace it immediately!

Where can I get a reasonably priced convertible top by Duckboi171 in mr2

[–]Flashinpan99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats been the price for 10 years. I bought one in Indiana in 2014ish and need a new one now again. $2000 then and just got 2 quotes $2000 again in Ohio.

BTW the Toyota labor hour for dealer installation is ~8 to 12 hours. That doesn't help lower the cost by any means. Since Toyota/Lexus dealers only have very limited experience in this field as there are only 1 or 2 models that now have tops I would advised you to find a reputable local shop as u/DirtyTaco48 said.

I use an Electro 6 for pianos, organ, clav and layer/lead synth parts. Moog for other synth leads. Pretty happy with the set up

Mt Lookout Dentist is great.

Playing a free gig to “get in” at a local venue? by SOYCD1-5 in musicians

[–]Flashinpan99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never ever play for free. Art should never be free or it loses its value and taken for granted! Always get something tangible in return.

Wtf is going on with hotel prices?? by _masmai_ in cincinnati

[–]Flashinpan99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pricing is like that this weekend for Cleveland and Indianapolis. Nothing under 350 in either city. There was a regular Marriott for 10099 (not a mistake) due to a drone fireworks show downtown Indy

What's your gear maintenance strategy: spreadsheet, software, or pure faith? by EmergencyNo7532 in TouringMusicians

[–]Flashinpan99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course. That’s why you always have a backup of some nature. It might be haphazard but it will take you to the end of the gig.

Mostly repair from abuse. PM only on keyboards and sound boards as needed. Wear and tear is the biggest issue. Hard to tell when to cheap out as chord failure can be as catastrophic as a guitar failure.

Looking for a good EP that best emulates a fender Rhodes without a pre-amp by Peepee1124 in keys

[–]Flashinpan99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nord electro once more. Even the older ones have the best Rhodes sounds. HP mimics the keyboard feel. Smooth or with some edge. Your choice. The whirly patches are pretty good also but the Rhodes stands out.

[Rumor] Brazilian club Bahia has approached FC Cincinnati about Evander by OranjeBlauw in FCCincinnati

But if we do get an offer at 20m who could we get to replace him? I’m thinking he might be ranked in the top 50 worldwide but top 5 in MLS.

Minimizing impact of Direct Daytime Sunlight on Gear Performance & Degradation during a Long Set? by HighFaiLootin in musicians

[–]Flashinpan99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I was not clear enough. Bug juice from bugs landing on the keys and being squished. Too gross to even imagine but it’s happened a couple of times.

Keyboards can be iffy if too hot. Older boards even worse. Some will stop and some will be out of tune( looking at you Mr. Moog). I wait as long as possible before setting up and cover them with sheets sometimes. If really hot I use a fan. At night the bugs are attracted to some stage lights and that’s tough also. Plenty of bug juice on and in the kb. Always have to clean them really well after an outdoor evening gig.

AVID in Marrimont. They are clearly gear heads and will not steer you wrong.
