Output level for XR18

What would you set the output level when going into an XR18 live? +4 or -10? At home I use an XR18 and have OUT1 at max, Channel gain at 0 and set preset levels for -12dB. At the gig using another XR18 I have to turn OUT1 down to 12-1 o'clock. Thanks

USB A, is it 5V?

I would like to power my iConnect MIDI so I can send MIDI program changes to the FM3. It needs power and would like to avoid using another wall wart. Does the USB A put out 5v? I’m not home to check it for a while so thought I’d ask here first. Thanks Paul

Anyone make a preset for Digital Wind Instruments?

Hello all. I have a Roland AE-10 wind instrument and am thinking of using it through my AX8 for live use. Has anyone done this, seen it or have ideas? I'm using the Tube Pre AMP block, some reverb and delay. Think compression would kill articulation. Any thoughts are welcomed
