internal programming parameters to these connectors. Connect expression pedals to the [EXP.1]
(Expression 1) and [EXP.2] (Expression 2) connectors, and footswitch pedals to the [SWITCH1]
and [SWITCH2] ports.
31. [DIGITAL OUTPUT] connector
You can use this socket to collect the digital signal generated by the OB-12 in order to connect
the instrument to DATs, digital mixers, CD mastering units, etc..
32. AUX OUT connectors
Extra connectors from which the analog signal generated by the OB-12 can be collected.
33. MAIN OUT connectors
Main connectors from which the analog stereophonic signal produced by the OB-12 can be
collected. If you are using a monophonic unit for amplifying or recording the signal, connect the
[L/MONO] connector only.
34. PHONES connector
You can connect a set of headphones to this connector in order to monitor the sound of the OB-
12 without the aid of amplified monitors. The signal will still be present at the [MAIN] and [AUX]
outputs.
The output signal at the MAIN OUT [L/
MONO] and [R], AUX OUT [1] and [2]
connectors is not amplified. In order to
listen to the sound produced by the OB-
12, you will have to connect the connectors
to remote amplifiers or to amplified
speakers/monitors. It is also advisable
always to use a stereophonic system, to
allow you to appreciate the sound and
effects generated by the OB-12 to the full.
In addition, the instrument offers the
considerable advantages of the BUS
SETTINGS function in the PROGRAM
environment, allowing each single part of
a Program to be assigned to each
individual output, thus assuring
spectacular acoustic effects. For example,
if each of the four Parts of a Program
contains a different timbre and each single part is assigned to each single output, you will be able
to listen to each timbre by means of a different diffuser or monitor.
You will also be able to address the signal present on the MAIN OUT outputs to amplified diffusers,
and to listen to the signal present on the AUX OUT outputs by means of a monitor. Instead of the
monitor, you can also listen to your sound on headphones, by taking the signal from the [PHONES]
connector.
