1
AC CABLE CONNECTOR
Plug the supplied AC cable into this connector.
2
POWER switch
Use this switch to turn the instrument on or off.
3
VIDEO OUT (optional)
If an optional VIF3 video interface is fitted, you can connect the
Pa1X to a TV or video monitor. The RCA connector is already
included with the instrument, even if the video interface is not
installed. See "Installing the Video Interface (VIF3)" on page 403
for more information.
4
LCD CONTRAST
Use this knob to adjust the display contrast.
5
DIGITAL OUTPUT
Use this 48 kHz S/PDIF output to connect the Pa1X to the S/
PDIF input connector of another digital device, like a digital
mixer, audio card, DAT or stand-alone CD recorder. The same
signal output from the LEFT/MONO & RIGHT connectors is
sent by this connector. See "S/PDIF On/Off " on page 241 for
more information.
6
USB
This is a USB Type B (slave) connector. Use it to connect the
Pa1X to a personal computer, and transfer data to/from its hard
disk. See "Hard Disk USB Connection" on page 273 for more
information.
7
MIDI INTERFACE
The MIDI interface allows your Pa1X to be connected to external
controllers (master keyboard, MIDI guitar, wind controller,
MIDI accordion...), to a series of expanders, or to a computer
running a sequencer or an editor. Two sets of IN and OUT con-
nectors are provided. For more information on how to use the
MIDI interface, see the "MIDI" chapter.
IN A/B These connectors receive MIDI data from a com-
puter or a controller. Connect them to an exter-
nal controller's or computer's MIDI OUT.
OUT A/B These connectors usually work as MIDI OUTs,
but can be configured as MIDI THRU connec-
tors. See "MIDI A Out/Thru Mode" and "MIDI B
Out/Thru Mode" on page 237 for information on
how to change their settings.
When set to OUT, these connectors send MIDI
data generated by Pa1X's keyboard, controllers,
and/or the internal sequencer. Connect them to
an expander's or computer's MIDI IN.
When set to THRU, these connectors send an
exact copy of the data received on the IN connec-
tor of the same group (A or B). Use them to cas-
cade the Pa1X with other MIDI instruments.
8
EC5 MULTISWITCH
This connects to a Korg EC5 multiswitch, to control many func-
tions in realtime. To program the EC5, see "EC5-A...E" on
page 236.
9
ASSIGN. PEDAL
Use this port to connect a continuous- or footswitch-type pedal,
like the Korg EXP2 or XVP10. To program it, see "Pedal/Foot-
switch" on page 235.
0
DAMPER PEDAL
Use this to connect a Damper pedal, like the Korg PS1, PS or
DS1H. To change its polarity, see "Damper Polarity" on
page 235.
A
OUTPUT
Use these unbalanced connectors to send the audio signal
(sound) to a mixer, a PA system, a set of powered monitors, or
your hi-fi system.
To set the output for each track, or the routing for the audio
inputs, see the "Audio Output" section, starting from page 239.
LEFT/MONO, RIGHT
These are the main stereo outputs. Use them to
send the final stereo mix to an external device. Set
the output level with the MASTER VOLUME
slider.
1, 2 These are the sub outputs. Use them to create a
stereo sub-mix of just some tracks, or to output
just a single instrument to be mixed alone, or to
be processed or amplified externally.
Note: The MASTER VOLUME slider has no effect
on these outputs. Signal is sent dry, with no effects
applied.
B
INPUT
Use these connectors to input a dynamic microphone, another
keyboard/synthesizer or a CD player.
1, 2 Only active when the 1/MIC switch is set to 1. Use
these unbalanced connectors to connect a line-
level input source, such as a CD player or a syn-
thesizer. The signal goes directly to the final mix.
1/MIC Use this switch to select the input. When "1" is
selected, both line inputs 1 & 2 are active. When
"MIC" is selected, only the microphone input is
active, and sent to the Voice Processor. See "Audio
Output: Audio In" on page 240 for more infor-
mation.
GAIN Use this controls to adjust the input sensitivity of
the MIC connector (from 20 to 55dB).
MIC Only active when the 1/MIC switch is set to MIC.
Use this balanced connector to input a dynamic
microphone, and send the signal to the Voice
Processor. To connect a condenser microphone,
you need an external phantom power supply
(refer to your microphone user's manual). The
input signal is sent to the Voice Processor.
Use the GAIN knob to adjust the input gain, and
see the input level by watching at the AUDIO IN
LED on the control panel.
