Anyone here use this M-Audio SOlo equiptment
I have Cubase SX 2.
I cannot figure out how the hell to send the stereo ouput of my keyboard to Cubase .. retaining panning and all...

Guitar conneciton on front is blatently mono..
Unbalanced inputs on the back are? stereo .. according to the manual..
So how come i can't get a stereo signal from the box...
The cable i'm using is a 1/4 jack cable.. with this kinda shape

It's a stereo/balanced cable, depending on the application.

you need to run one of those out of each channel on the KB (L and R) into each channel on the Solo for two mono channels, pan them left and right accordingly.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: If you KB has unbalanced outs (check the manual) then go get some unbalanced cables (instrument patch cable types) they'll have one less ring on the connector.

Hmm, I was going to look it up and see if I could find a manual, but there's no .PDF for that one. :lol:

I'm 99.9% sure that's the cable you'd need, then run it into two channels like I said, pan them hard left and right and you should be set. Just make sure to watch your level coming out of the headphone jack so you don't get distortion.
