“Performing” Sound from Drums or a Portable Music Player
Here’s a reall
y
cool trick. The VP-770 lets
y
ou “perform” using the sound from a V-drum (electronic drum) or
a
portable music pla
y
er connected to the microphone input instead of
y
our voice.
C
onnect
y
our audio source to the EXT IN jack as shown.
S h [LEVEL] k b f EXT IN “LINE ”
This knob ad
j
usts the level of the sound that is input from the EXT IN
j
ack. (Turning the knob
t
oward “MIC” increases the level, and turning it toward “LINE” decreases the level.) I
f
y
ou’ve
c
onnected a line-level device, you should set this knob to the “LINE” position
.
Turn the [
MIX TO MIC] switch
“
ON.”
The [MIX TO MIC] switch speci
es whether the sound
f
rom the EXT IN
j
ack will be used as a
m
icrop
h
one input (mo
d
u
l
ator; t
h
e ON setting) or as t
h
e carrier (t
h
e OFF setting). Since we’re using
t
he sound as a microphone input, select the “ON” settin
