Connecting Various Sources To The Audio Input - Korg AmkII Owner's Manual

Connecting various sources to the audio input

Let's try connecting various types of audio device (radio,
or MD or CD player) or tone generator to the audio input
jack.
Try out various types of sounds or music. Depending on
the content, you may discover unexpectedly interesting
results.
1. Connect an audio device etc. to the audio input of the
EA-1 II. The input jack is monaural, so you may need
mk
to use a stereo-mono adapter plug, depending on the
device you are connecting.
2. Adjust the output level of the connected device so that
the peak LED lights only at the maximum levels. At
this time you can turn on the AUDIO IN THRU key
(the key will light) to hear the input sound.
3. Select the pattern or song whose volume you wish to
adjust, press the OSC1 key to select AUDIO IN, and
begin playback.
4. Press the mode key to enter Global mode.
5. Use the cursor [L][M] keys to set the parameter select LED to INPUT GAIN.
6. Rotate the dial to adjust the input volume to create a balance with the volume of the
other part.
7. Move the knobs and keys of the Synthesizer section to apply filtering or effects to the
input signal.
If you wish to use the audio input for the OSC1, you must turn the AUDIO IN THRU key
off (key is dark).
Line-level input is recommended for the audio input. It is not possible to directly con-
nect a mic or turntable etc.
If the Input Gain setting is too high, the sound may be distorted.
