Chapter 7. Audio Mode
This chapter provides details on optimal use of the front panel Audio Interface section and rear panel Audio In jacks.
Use the rear panel Audio In jacks to mix external audio sources with the sounds of the SP7 Grand, apply effects to
external audio sources, or route external audio sources to a computer for recording or processing in a DAW. This is
useful for playing along with backing tracks from a portable music player, computer, or other electronic instrument.
Audio mode consists of three menus: General, Input 1, and Input 2.
Adjust all parameter dials by touch, alpha wheel (once selected), Increase+/Decrease- buttons, or tap the value field
to open a numeric keypad for more precise data entry.
7-1 General
The General tab contains settings for Input Ch Link,
Monitor Level, Monitor Mode, Vocal Proc. Route, USB
Recording/Playback Levels and Loopback.
Input Channel Link - This parameter toggles the input
channels’ configuration between dual mono and stereo.
When enabled, this gangs Inputs 1 and 2 together as a
stereo pair. When engaged, input settings are controlled by
the Input 1 page settings and Input 2 settings are inactive.
Monitor Level - This dial adjusts the volume of the
signal entering the back panel Audio In jacks.
Monitor Mode - This switch controls the monitoring configuration of the signal entering the back panel Audio In jacks.
Setting choices include: Mute, Stereo, and Mono.
Vocal Proc. Route - The Vocal Processing can only be used on one input at a time. The Vocal Proc Route switch
determines which input has vocal processing applied to it. You can select: No Vocal Proc., VP on Input 1, or VP on
Input 2.
No Vocal Proc.- Disables all vocal processing.
VP on Input 1 / VP on Input 2 - Select either Input 1 or 2 to have the vocal processing applied to it. Note: when
selecting either input, a new tab menu appears in the left-hand column (“In1 Vocal Proc.” or “In2 Vocal Proc.”)
corresponding to your selection.
USB Recording Level - This dial controls the audio level being sent over USB from the the SP7 Grand to your
computer.
USB Playback Level -This dial controls the audio level being returned over USB from your computer to the SP7
Grand.
Loopback - When enabled, USB audio arriving at the SP7 input is fed back to the USB audio output. This can be
useful for combining backing tracks from your computer/DAW with the output from the SP7 Grand and sending back
to your computer for live recording/streaming. Caution: be sure to disable any input monitoring in your computer
DAW/software to avoid feedback.
