Here are the instructions for each method.
1. Mic = source, line in = modulator
- note: only audio on the (Right) side of the line input is used for modulation.
- I'm not sure but, I believe the left input can be used as a source, instead of the mic.
- anyway, talk into mic while playing synth into line input. Done.
2. Pad = source, pad = modulator
- "Shift"+"Mix Common"
- scroll to FxLoc. change to (INS MASTER)

- "Shift"+"Song/Track" this activates the "Pad To Track" option
- press and hold a pad in first row (pad 1,5,9,13)

When Phrases using only bass sounds or other such sounds are played continuously on a track with
no space provided between the Phrases, a small amount of noise may crop up at the points where
one Phrase ends and the next one begins. In such situations, using the procedure below to set
"FadeSw" to ON may improve the sound.
