Connecting various sources to the audio inputs

Let's try connecting various types of audio devices (radio, MD or CD player or tone
generator) to the audio input jacks.
Try out various types of sounds or music. Depending on the content,
you may discover unexpectedly interesting results.
1. Connect an audio device to the audio in jack (AUDIO IN). Set the
MIC/LINE gain select switch appropriately for the level of the con-
nected device. The jack is a stereo phone plug. If necessary, use an
adapter plug appropriate for the connected device. To switch be-
tween monaural and stereo, change the Global mode AUDIO IN
MODE setting (☞ p.54).
2. Adjust the output level of the external device so that the peak LED
does not light even when the connected device is producing its maxi-
mum output level. When making this adjustment, turn on the Au-
dio In Thru key (the key will light) so you can hear the input sound
without having to press the part key.
3. Select the pattern or song for which you wish to adjust the volume
of the external input sound, and press the Play/Pause button to be-
gin playback.
4. In the connection section, rotate the LEVEL knob to set the appro-
priate balance with the volumes of the other parts.
The input sound will be heard while you press the Audio In part key. The Audio In parts
that are recorded in a pattern or song do not produce the sound that was being input
when the parts were being recorded; they simply allow the sound that is received in the
audio input at that moment to be heard from when the trigger is turned on, for the
duration set by the PITCH/SPEED knob.

Trigger On
If you wish to strike Audio In keys to hear the sound, you must turn off the Audio In Thru key
(the key will be dark).
If the input gain setting is excessive, the sound may be distorted.
If you use a monaural cable to make connections, be sure to set the AUDIO IN MODE switch
to the monaural "L" position. If you use a stereo cable, be sure to set the switch to the stereo
"St" position (☞p.54).
