Plus, I didn\u2019t want to have a bunch of cables hanging all over the place and looking all ghetto. So\u2026I put all my gear (sans the laptop, external drive and midi controller) into one roadcase. The cool thing about it, it works really well and is super flexible (thanks to the KORG Kaptivator), it really feels like an instrument. The bad thing about it\u2026it\u2019s SUPER HEAVY! That sucks. Most of the weight is from all the power adapters (11!) \u2013 but, with the help of a little hand truck, it\u2019s not too bad to maneuver around (if I can get it out of my car!)

From there it goes to the ENTRANCER &gt; Distribution amp &gt; Monitors+Projectors+Recorder. I also send the PREVIEW signal from the V-4 to the input of the KAPTIVATOR. This allows me to sample any source (handy for last second logo filler) and use it as a new source to mix back into the V-4.
