Re: Roland electric piano interference

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

The only possible way he could damage it would be to plug it into a
dimmer module.

The only effects he is likely to experience are interference from the
chopped up mains being fed to the lamps but I would be surprised if
Roland made a keyboard that was that sensitive to interference.

Roland Keyboards and Drum Machines are used by bands all over the
world and they often have loads of lighting dimmers hacking up the
mains far worse than any domestic setup.

If he does suffer any interference then a filtered mains strip should
solve it unless the leads to his amplifier or speakers are picking up
radiated RFI.
