Why is the output level of my piano so quiet? Or why am I getting no signal at all?
The Rhodes is designed with a set of magnetic coil pickups like you find in an electric guitar, one per key. The pickups are not active, so in order to get the correct signal from the piano, you will want to use one of these:
- Guitar or Bass Amp
- Tube Preamp
- Mic Input on a Mixer
- Mic Input on a Keyboard Amp
If you are getting no signal at all, there is probably a wiring problem in the pickup rail, or possibly the Stage Piano's output circuit. If a specific key is quiet or making no sound, the pickup for that key is miswired or the coil needs to be rewound.
