Adjusting the Input Level
Adjust the [MIC LEVEL] knob so that the PEAK indicator
occasionally lights orange when the volume is loudest.
To adjust the input level of a device that’s connected
to the INPUT INST jacks or the AUX IN jack, adjust the
controls of the connected device.
Connections
* To prevent malfunction and equipment failure,
always turn down the volume, and turn o all the
units before making any connections.
* Use only the specied expression pedal (Roland
EV-5, FV-500H/L; sold separately). By connecting
any other expression pedals, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
OUTPUT jacks
Connect these jacks to your amp
or monitor speakers.
If your system is monaural, use
only the L jack. Sound that was
input in stereo will also be output
monaurally.
If you connect an expression pedal (Roland EV-5, FV-500H/L;
sold separately) or footswitch (FS-5U, FS-7, FS-6; sold
separately), you can use it to control a variety of parameters.
For details, refer to “Bank Settings” (p. 12).
