is it okay to plug a mono patch cable from the phones jack to the input to get the feedback? or should i use a balanced cable. I only ask because I dont want to damage any of the outputs or inputs. TRS or TS? thank you.

@acewing10 I don't know the long-term effects of using a mono TS lead, but since I don't use the headphones anyway, I'm not bothered. I just use a standard instrument lead to go from headphone out to ext in.

the solo in the begining is from welcome to the machine, isnt it?

[stenophonic]

@leonsolo01 It was my approximation (at the time) of Shine On You Crazy Diamond part VI, got the right album though! ;) I've got the sound nailed down as best I can now- though Wright used his minimoog on the recording.

Hey man,just got me one of those babies and been trying to get that DP sound but even with the patch file i just can't seem to hit it.

First of all,when i plug in the heaphones jack in the external input,should i get any sound hitting the keys or should i turn a knob?

On the EG1 section should i switch to external as well or kept on KBD?

The thing is i don't get that distorted sound which is the one i should achieve with the feedback loop right?

Please help me out,thanks.

@Darwinknows sorry for the late reply. You'll need EG1 set on KB trigger otherwise it won't use that EG (the point of having an ext trigger is when you plug another instrument like a bass and you won't be using the keys at all, so you need the bass to trigger the EG) As far as not getting the feedback, try basing what you're doing off the patch I link to in the description and tweak it. Like I say, it takes tweaking ;) also, check the back of your CS15 and make sure the ext input is set at -20

good demo, just got one yesterday, but instead of playing it I'm at uni writing my damn thesis, and instead of writing the damn thesis I'm watching videos of others playing the cs... I feel like a fucking idiot...

I just found a CS15 instruction manual in the attic! now all I need is another cs15 ..... damn!

Cheers for the video. I just received my CS15 in nearly new condition. I knew the thing sounded great but had no clue of its potential.. that stuff you're doing ~ 6:00 is gangster.

@astroboomboy

it is comforting to see other people having this strange condition... running out of time, and yet, still doing anything but writing the thesis!
