EML SynKey Owner's Manual page 10

Setting up your SynKey for play.
1. Unpack your SynKey and place on a
fiun, flat surface. Remove the accessories
packed with the instrument.
2. Connect your SynKey to an amplifier/
speaker system. Select the correct output on
the back panel of the SynKey.
Use high level output with hi-fi amplifiers.
Use low level output with guitar-type
amplifiers.
3. Plug your SynKey into a wall socket
using the 3 wire cord. If the receptacle will
not accept a 3 wire plug, use a properly
grounded adapter. Turn on your SynKey with
the toggle switch on the back panel. A red
light should glow in the Modulation Oscillator
section of the control panel. The light may be
blinking on and off; this is normal. The light
will go on and off in synchronization with the
Modulation Oscillator as long as SynKey is on.
4. Set the tuning and octavation controls
on the back panel straight up. (For tuning
instructions, see page 10; tuning is not
necessary for the getting-acquainted period.)
This manual is designed to lead you
through SynKey in a step-by-step fashion.
Do not be unnecessarily concerned with
technicalities. Do move controls very slowly
and listen carefully to the sounds produced.
Try to determine at each step whether you
are controlling pitch, timbre, or loudness.
When you are able to relate the various
SynKey controls to these parameters, you
are well on your way to becoming an
accomplished synthesist.
