Performing with sound from your digital audio player, etc. (EXT IN)

fig.WAVE-EXTIN

Use the WAVE buttons to select “EXT IN” as the WAVE for OSC 1 or OSC 2 (p. 28).

When you play the keyboard, you will hear the sound from the audio source connected to the INPUT jacks
according to the settings of FILTER (p. 34), AMP (p. 38), LFO (p. 40), and EFFECTS (p. 44) in the same way as for
an OSC waveform.

You can use the arpeggiator (p. 22) to play this sound rhythmically.

Signal flow of the sound heard when you play or release the keyboard

* The settings of the PITCH knob, DETUNE knob, PW/FEEDBACK knob, and PITCH ENV sliders are ignored for an

oscillator whose WAVE is set to “EXT IN.”

How the sound is produced

• The key you press will not change the pitch of the sound. The sound from the connected audio source device

will be heard at its original pitch regardless of the key you press.

• If you press more than one key, the sound from the connected device will be layered according to the number of

keys you’re pressing.
Since the sound may distort if you press a larger number of keys, we recommend that you turn on the Solo
function (p. 19).

• When using the OSC EXT IN setting to play the sound of an external audio source, the sound you hear will be

mono even if the audio source connected to the INPUT jack is stereo.

For some settings, such as when the AMP LEVEL is lowered or when the FILTER CUTOFF is at the lowest
setting, you might not hear any sound when you play the keyboard.

If the AMP ENV’s R (release time, p. 38) is set to a longer time, the sound that’s passing through the audio filter

will not be heard when you take your hand off the keyboard until the release time has elapsed. We recommend
that you set the AMP ENV release time to a short value.
