Once set, play (or talk into the microphone), the column of
LEDs to the right of the display should now respond to the level
of the signal. It is likely that they will either all illuminate or just
the lowest one or two in the column. The ‘Input Trim’ must now
be set to optimize performance.
Adjusting the AudioTrim for External Signals
After Input Sensitivity is set - see above, the sensitivity must be
‘trimmed’ for best performance. Ensure the MODE
is set to UTILITY. Repeatedly press KEY 0 until the display
shows i t (Input Trim) and an alternating value. Whilst the input
signal is present adjust the PORTA/DATA knob until the all the
LEDs except the very top one - PROGRAM - frequently light.
The sensitivity level is now set correctly.
In order to hear the external signal through the effects proces-
sor or to make the signal trigger sounds, the current PRO-
GRAM selected has to have external audio enabled (see page
50).
Setting an External Audio Signal to Trigger the Envelopes
Once the input sensitivity has been set for the input device (see
above) set the SOURCE switch in the Mixer section on the front
panel to EXT and turn up the LEVEL. Before adjusting the
threshold (how loud the external signal has to be before it trig-
gers the envelopes ) check that the specific program has its
triggering options enabled for external audio.(Set Triggering
Option E E to E n in the KEY 0 Vel..Trig..Sync Menu.. (see
page 49)
Adjusting the Audio Input Auto triggering Sensitivity
Ensure the MODE is set to UTILITY. Repeatedly press KEY 0
until the display shows i L (Input Trigger Level) While playing
the external audio input device (or talking into the microphone).
adjust the PORTA/DATA knob until the external audio signal is
heard at the output. If there is no output, check that the
Envelope controls are set to sensible levels and that the Filter
FREQUENCY is fully clockwise.
If any of the Oscillator volumes are turned up (Mixer section) a
default middle ‘C’ note will be heard even when there is no
MIDI input. If this is undesirable, then reduce the volumes of all
the Oscillators.
Using External Audio Direct to Effects
The external audio signal may be fed directly to the effects
bypassing the Mixer, Filter and Envelopes. Once the input sen-
sitivity has been set for the input device (see previous page) set
the SOURCE switch in the Mixer section on the front panel to
EXT and turn up the LEVEL. Set the Triggering Option E E to
F d in the KEY 0 Vel, Trig, Sync Menu, (see page 50) The
external signal should now be heard at the outputs. It may now
be processed by all the effects including the EQ Filter.
