using the PRO-3 live

[jjp@mink.mt.att.com]

I was wondering if any PRO-3 owners on the list could share experiences
with using it in certain live situations.  Specifically I am interested
in hearing how you dealt with sending the organ output through a mains
PA mix, as well as doing live recordings.  It seems like it can get a little
tricky when sharing the keyboard amp with other keyboard sounds (e.g. piano).

I frequently play in rooms where I need to put the organ through the PA,
and lately we've been recording every night to ADAT.  I should still be
able to handle these okay with my Mackie mixer, although I'm going to
have to rearrange things a bit.  I think the most difficult thing is
going to be getting a decent upper/lower mix to the ADAT (they need to
be pre-mixed and put on a single channel).  Today, I mike the Leslie
top and bottom, send a bit of it to my keyboard amp to preview the mix
and send the mixed signal to tape.  I could bury the PRO-3 somewhere
where I won't hear much of its direct sound, but I don't really want to
do that.  Seems like it'll have to be a trial-and-error thing, unless
someone has some good suggestions.

Using a separate amp and speaker for the PRO-3 bottom would solve the
problem.  However, that sort of defeats the whole purpose of the PRO-3.
I might as well just use the Leslie if I'm going to carry an extra setup
like that.

Of course, without having a PRO-3 yet, this is all speculation.  It may
turn out to be easier (or more difficult) than I'm imagining.  So, any
insight from current PRO-3 owners?
