Thanks for the headphone & headphone amp suggestions. However, my hope was to have a simple way to use my in-ear monitors with the S3000 at gigs without additional devices. I can use my MOTU Microbook interface (size of a thick phone), with the AUM mixer app on my iPhone to send a mix of the S3000 + ambience mic to my IEMs, but thought it might be possible to use the jacks and circuitry inside the S3000 to do this without the extra gear.

Yes, you're probably right....Too bad, because the headphone output amp does sound very good....It would have been nice to have an independent control for it. Even better, to have the ability to independently mix in the audio input line into the headphone out, so you could mix an ambience mic with the direct piano sound as a personal monitoring system through the headphone jack while you play live....

Is there a way to balance the outputs to the internal speakers and headphone jacks, completely inside the S3000, when both speakers and headphones are used? I've found playing live that the acoustic piano "Tones" sound great in small cafes and clubs if I use a mixture of the internal speakers plus the L/R lines out to powered speakers. That means setting the S3000 volume control fairly high to get enough internal speaker for the blend. At the same time, I'd like to use the headphone out for a send of the pure piano source to my IEMs, but the level set by the main volume control (for the internal speakers) is too high. I could send from the headphone jack into another attenuating device or run the main line out into a mixer for separate sends to my external speakers and IEMs. However, is there a way to change the relative headphone jack output with settings inside the S3000, so I could avoid using another device?

I'm excited about the ability of the PX-S3000 to accept downloaded registrations for sounds. Mike Martin mentioned in his recent webinar on the S3000 that he plans to upload some, and I hope others will share also. Mike: I would love to have a sound registration that comes close to the SW Rhodes (demo by Steve Weingart) that you uploaded for the PX-5S. I know it's a different system, but....Thanks!
