Front Panel - KETRON X1 Owner's Manual

Midi unit.
Midi Thru: The Midi Thru is a copy of the Midi In 1 ( GM ) and may be used to connect one or
more expander modules in series with the instrument.
The THRU socket functions exclusively in conjunction with the Midi in 1 ( GM ) socket and
therefore is inefficient when used in conjunction with the Midi In 2 socket ( Keyboard ).
Computer Interface: By means of the Computer Interface socket the instrument is able to communi-
cate with computers without MIDI interface (PC or Macintosh). This may be useful, for example,
for receiving / transmitting information about Songs or about music sequences of various kinds.
A special cable is required for the connection ( optional – available on request) that differs accor-
ding to whether a PC or McIntosh is to be connected.

FRONT PANEL

The front panel of the instrument is provided with the following connection points:
Headphone: A socket for the Stereo headphones. We advise the use of a high quality pair of Hi-Fi
headphones in order to avoid losing the quality sound of the instrument especially of the extre-
me high and low frequencies.
The sound volume in the headphones may be adjusted directly using the Master potentiometer.
When the headphones are connected the internal amplification is shut off.
Micro Input: A stereo Input for a Microphone with sensitivity control.
2 Microphones may be connected to the Micro socket by means of an appropriate adapter
(which will function in Mono mode ). If the keyboard is also equipped with the Vocalist kit
(optional ), one of the 2 Microphones may control the Harmonizer effect whereas the other may
function normally without interfering with the Vocalist functions.
The MICRO input may also be used to connect other instruments such as the Electric Guitar,
Keyboard etc.. Make sure to adjust the Gain accordingly.
For all the Microphone control functions, refer to the MICRO section within the EFFECTS
chapter ( Page 22).
Note
The Microphone level may vary considerably depending on the type of Microphone used.
Reset the Gain control to zero each time the Microphone is connected or disconnected in order to
avoid undesired noises. If the microphone is placed too near the internal speakers ( or external in
the case of external amplification ) some feedback may be encountered. Adjust the position of the
microphone and reduce if necessary the amplification level or the Microphone Gain.
Amplification: The keyboard is provided with internal amplification with a 2 x 25 WRMS stereo
amplifier, two 8" Loudspeakers and two tweeters.
