s OUTPUT jacks
The K-3 contains no amplifier or speakers — only a headphone
jack for private listening and these line outputs for connection
to a keyboard amplifier, public address system, or other audio
system. (Use the stereo output for a richer chorus effect.)
@ LEVEL switch
This switch provides a choice of two output levels. Choose the
one best matching the amplifier characteristics:
HIGH — for power amplifiers, audio mixers, and other equip-
ment with input attenuation
LOW - guitar and other sensitive amplifiers with high gain
= PROGRAM UP pedal jack
A foot switch connected to this jack allows you to change tone
patch programs without taking your hands from the keyboard.
= RELEASE pedal jack
A foot switch connected to this jack allows you to turn the
damper pedal effect, which controls the amount of time it takes
sound to fade after the key is released, on and off.
s MIDI connectors
These accept cables joining the synthesizer to other MIDI instru-
ments. (For a more detailed description, see the section on the
MIDI interface.)
