Connections
Rear panel facilities
1) FROM TAPE TO TAPE
For connection to a tape recorder. This interface lets you store unlimited sets of programs on tape. These can
then be loaded back into the synthesizer's programmer as needed even in the middle of a set. Connect FROM
TAPE to the recorder's output jack (line out, earphone, or headphone terminal). Connect TO TAPE to the tape
recorder's input jack (line in, mic in, etc.). Set switches to HIGH or LOW positions as needed to match recorder
input and output levels. HIGH is line or earphone level; LOW is microphone level.
2) CHORD MEMORY
Foot switch (S-1, PS-1, etc.) input jack for remote control of CHORD MEMORY, so you do not have to press
the key assign mode switch. Particularly useful for putting chords in the memory when you are using both hands to
finger the chord. A chord of up to six notes can be memorized and then the same structure can be reproduced by
playing single keys.
3) ARPEGGIO TRIG IN
Lets you use an external device to control arpeggio tempo. A trigger output from a rhythm box, sequencer, or
synthesizer may be connected to this jack. The trigger should be negative-going (short to ground). There is an
internal high impedance pullup to +5V.
4) VCF fcM IN
For external control over VCF cutoff frequency (using MS-01, -04 footpedal, etc.). This varies the timbre of the
sound, and permits "waa-waa" pedal effects when VCF is set at medium-high resonance.
5) PHONES
The phone jack is not silences by setting the front panel "OUTPUT" switch to OFF. This makes checking or
modify sound programs less obtrusive during recording or performance.
6) OUTPUT
High level or low level, controlled by front panel switch.
