Audio Inputs
Mono. Connect a mono cable to either the LEFT or RIGHT
OUTPUT alone. Connect the other end of the cable to a mono
channel of your mixer, a powered monitor, or a single channel of
your CD, LINE IN or TAPE/AUX input of a hi-fi system (you
will hear that channel only, unless you can set the amplifier to
Mono mode).
Separate outputs. You can connect your Pa800 to four channels
of a mixer. This is very useful when recording, or if you want to
send a sequencer's or backing track to a separate channel. For
example, by using the separate outputs, you may send the Drum
or Bass track to an external compressor or reverb unit, or mix
the separate tracks on an external mixer.
Connect four mono cables to each of the main (LEFT, RIGHT)
and 1, 2 OUTPUTs. To feed the sub-outputs (1, 2) you must pro-
gram the track(s) you wish to send them (see the "Audio Out-
put" section in the Global, starting from page 216).
Note: When a track is sent to the OUTPUT 1 or 2, it is removed
from the main mix going to the internal speakers and the LEFT &
RIGHT OUTPUTS.
Note: OUTPUTs 1 & 2 carry a dry sound with no effects applied.
Adjust the volume of the LEFT & RIGHT OUTPUTs with the
MASTER VOLUME slider. Adjust the volume of the 1 & 2 OUT-
PUTs with the mixer's or external speaker's level controls.
Audio Inputs
Connect your microphones, guitars, or any other musical instru-
ment, to the AUDIO INPUTs on the back of the instrument. A
microphone connected to the AUDIO INPUT 1 can also be sent
to the Voice Processor for sophisticate processing.
Use a suitable "XLR to 1/4" jack" adapter to connect a micro-
phone with a XLR connector to the Pa800's 1/4" jack inputs. Use
an external phantom power supply (like a mixer) to connect
condenser microphones.
Use the GAIN knobs next to the audio inputs to set the input
sensitivity. While you play the external source, look at the
AUDIO IN LED indicator on the front panel, to see when the
audio level is correctly set:
Off
No signal entering.
Green
Low- to mid-level signal entering. If the LED
turns off too often, the input gain is too low. Use
the GAIN controls and/or the source device's vol-
ume to raise the input level.
Orange
Slight overload in the signal path. This is fine if it
turns on only on signal peaks.
Red
Clipping is occurring in the signal path. Use the
GAIN controls and/or the source device's volume
to lower the input level.
See the "Singing with a connected microphone" chapter on
page 70, and the "Audio Setup: Audio In" section on page 217,
for more information on connecting and setting the inputs and
the audio source.
MIDI connections
You can play the internal sounds of your Pa800 with an external
controller, i.e. a master keyboard, a MIDI guitar, a wind control-
ler, a MIDI accordion, or a digital piano.
You can also control other MIDI devices with the Pa800, or con-
nect it to a computer for use with an external sequencer.
As an alternative to the MIDI connectors, you can use the USB
Device port for direct connection to a personal computer.
See the "MIDI" chapter on page 252 for more information on
MIDI connections.
Damper Pedal
Connect a Damper (Sustain) pedal to the DAMPER connector
on the back panel. Use a Korg PS1 or DS1H footswitch pedal, or
a compatible one. To switch the Damper polarity, see "Damper
Polarity" on page 212
Demo
Listen to the built-in Demo Songs to appreciate the power of the
Pa800. There are several Demo Songs to choose from.
1.
Press the STYLE PLAY and SONG PLAY buttons together.
Their LEDs start blinking.
At this point, if you don't press any other button, all the Demo
Songs will be played back.
2.
Select one of the available options, to listen to a specified
Demo Song.
3.
Stop the Demo by pressing the STOP button on the display,
or by exiting the Demo mode by pressing any MODE but-
ton.
The music stand
A music stand comes standard with your Pa800. Insert its legs
into the two dedicated holes on the rear panel.
