VOCAL HARMONIST section
INPUT switch: If you connect a microphone to the
INPUT socket, set this switch to “MIC”. To try out the
Vocal Harmonist function for other signals (guitar,
external synthesizers & modules, CDs, MDs, etc.), set
this switch to “LINE”.
Note: For the “LINE” setting to work with electric guitars or
basses, you need to connect such instruments to an effects
pedal or rack effect (in bypass mode), and connect the effect’s
output to the INPUT socket.
INPUT socket: This is where you can to connect an
optional microphone (like a Roland DR-10 or DR-20)
or other external signal source you wish to process
using the G-70’s Vocal Harmonist facility. This is a
combo socket to which you can connect either a bal-
anced XLR or unbalanced 1/4” jack. (The socket does
not provide phantom power.)
Note: The INPUT socket is mono.
OUTPUT R & L sockets: If connected to a mixing con-
sole, amplifier, etc., these sockets transmit the signal
received via the INPUT socket and processed with the
G-70’s Vocal Harmonist facility. If no jacks are con-
nected here, the Vocal Harmonist signals are trans-
mitted via the OUTPUT sockets (see below).
M
OUTPUT section
DIRECT R/L sockets: When you first switch on the
G-70, these audio outputs are not used (all signals
are sent to the MAIN R & L/MONO sockets). You can,
however, assign any desired signal to these sockets
page 103.
MAIN R & L/MONO sockets: These sockets need to
be connected to an external amplifier, mixing con-
soles, etc. Depending on whether you are also using
the Vocal Harmonist OUTPUT sockets (see above), the
present sockets either transmit only the music gener-
ated by the Arranger, Recorder and Keyboard parts,
or both the tone generator’s and Vocal Harmonist’s
signals.
Note: If you can/want to use only one channel on your exter-
nal amplifier, connect the L/MONO socket to its input. For opti-
mum sound quality, we recommend working in stereo, though.
