PCMCIA Card Slot
This slot accepts industry standard PCMCIA RAM or ROM cards, which can be used for storing
and accessing sounds and sequencer data. Blank cards are available from most computer stores,
or from ENSONIQ (Model #MC-512 RAM cards).
The KT can use PCMCIA RAM cards ranging in size from 512 KBytes to 2 MegaBytes, but the KT
will always format all cards to the same size (512 KBytes). They are always formatted to hold up
to two banks of 80 Sounds (a:CARD and b:CARD), and two banks of 100 Presets/Seqs/Songs
(a:CARD and b:CARD). Sounds and sequences/songs can be played directly from cards.
For more information about memory, storage and PCMCIA cards, see Section 13 — Storage.
PCMCIA Memory Cards
Before you can access sounds and sequences from a card, you
must first insert an ENSONIQ KTC series ROM card, an MC-512
RAM card, or any other KT formatted PCMCIA card into the card
slot, as shown, with the label facing toward you. Take care to
insert the card straight into the slot in a continuous fashion. Cards
can only go in one way.
Cards can be inserted or removed at any time (except while you’re
writing sounds, or playing/recording sequences from/to them),
even when the power is on, without doing any harm to the KT or
the card. For more information regarding cards, see Section 13 —
Storage.
Headphones
To listen to the KT in stereo through headphones, plug the phones into this jack. Headphone
volume is controlled by the Volume Slider on the front panel. Note that plugging headphones
into this jack does not automatically turn off the audio in the left and right audio outputs.
☞ Warning: The headphone output volume is optimized for mid to high impedance
headphones (50 - 600 ohms). If you use low impedance headphones (8 ohm “Walkman™”
style), be sure to lower the Volume Slider, as the high output volume levels could damage
your hearing.
