■ Digital Output using the optional AIEB2
When the optional AIEB2 board has been installed to the rear panel, the sound output through the OUTPUT jacks by analog can
also be output by digital through the OPTICAL OUTPUT jack and the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. Using these digital output jacks,
you can record the keyboard performance or Song/Pattern playback of this synthesizer to external media (e.g., an MD recorder)
with exceptionally high-quality sound.
n The digital output resolution of the optionally installed AIEB2 board can be set in the UTILITY mode with the following operation.
Audio Input
■ Connecting a microphone or other audio equipment to the A/D INPUT jacks (analog input)
External instruments and audio equipment, such as a microphone, guitar, bass, CD player or even another synthesizer/keyboard
can be connected to the A/D INPUT jacks. This audio can be used as input for the AUDIO IN Part in the Performance/Song/
Pattern mode, and can be used to create samples with the Sampling function (page 172). With the use of an optional PLG100-
VH Plug-in Board, you can even apply an automatic vocal harmony effect to the microphone sound.
n Depending on the connected equipment, change the parameter settings in the Utility mode as needed, with the following operations.
• When the output level of the connected equipment (such as a microphone, guitar, bass) is low:
• When the output level of the connected equipment (such as a synthesizer, keyboard, CD player) is high:
n After the above connections are complete, you may need to adjust the input gain of the audio source using the GAIN knob (page 73).
n The audio input sound is not available in the Voice mode because the Voice mode does not have an AUDIO IN Part.
