MONTAGE Owner's Manual
NOTE
• The term "FC3" in this Owner's Manual refers collectively to the
FC3 and other footswitches compatible with the FC3, such as the
FC3A.
• The term "FC4" in this Owner's Manual refers collectively to the
FC4 and other footswitches compatible with the FC4 such as the
FC4A.
7 FOOT CONTROLLER [1]/[2] jacks
For connection of an optional foot controller (FC7, etc.). This
jack lets you continuously control one of various different
assignable functions for Part edit—such as volume, tone,
pitch, or other aspects of the sound (see the Reference
Manual PDF document).
8 ASSIGNABLE OUTPUT (BALANCED) [L] and
[R] jacks (TRS balanced output)
Line level audio signals are output from this instrument via
these TRS balanced outputs. These outputs are
independent of the main output (at the OUTPUT [L/MONO]/
[R] jacks below), and can be freely assigned to any of the
Drum Part keys or the Parts. This lets you route specific Parts
or sounds for processing with a favorite external effect unit.
The Parts which can be assigned to these jacks are as
follows:
• Drum Part key to which the drum/percussion instrument is
assigned
• Metronome (Click)
• Any Part of a Performance*
* Includes Audio Input Part
For details, see the Reference Manual PDF document.
9 OUTPUT (BALANCED) [L/MONO] and [R]
jacks (TRS balanced output)
Line level audio signals are output via these TRS balanced
outputs. For monophonic output, use only the [L/MONO]
jack.
[PHONES] (Headphone) jack
)
This standard stereo phones jack is for connection to a set of
stereo headphones. This jack outputs audio signals identical
to those from the OUTPUT [L/MONO] and [R] jacks.
A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks
!
External audio signals can be input via these phone jacks
(1/4" mono phone plug). Various devices such as a
microphone, CD player or synthesizer can be connected to
these jacks and their audio input signal can be sounded as
the Audio Part.
In addition, you can use the special Vocoder feature by
connecting a microphone to this [L/MONO] jack and
inputting your Voice to the microphone.
You can also use the Envelope Follower and ABS (Audio
Beat Sync) features. Envelope Follower is a function for
detecting the volume envelope of the input signal waveform
and modifying sounds dynamically.
