INSTRUMENT INTERFACE FEATURES
E-SERIES PICKUP SELECTOR SWITCH
A button labeled “E-Series On/Off” is located on the front panel of the
Synthony II. This button must pushed in and locked in the “on” position in
order for violins equipped with Zeta’s E-Series pickups to function
properly with the ZMC-200.
The E-Series violin pickups are mono-MIDI capable, and will not access
the ZMC-200 multi-channel MIDI features.
Please note that instruments equipped with Zeta’s Jazz or Strados pickup
systems will not function properly if the E-Series button is set in the “On”
position.
ANALOG/DIGITAL BLENDING
The Jazz and Strados pickup systems on all Zeta instruments allow the
User to control the relative volume levels of both the MIDI/synthesizer
volume and the analog pickup volume independently of each other when
used with an external amplifier, sound mixer or other electronic device.
This permits the User to output (i) all analog sound with no synthesized
sound, (ii) all synthesized sound with no analog sound, or (iii) a blend of
analog and synthesized sounds.
For analog volume levels, simply adjust the standard volume knob on the
instrument to reach the desired volume level of the device (ex; amplifier)
plugged into the ¼” “Instrument Output” jack on the back of the Synthony
II.
For synthesized-sound volume levels, adjust the output using the Volume
control knob on the front panel of the Synthony II to reach the desired level
of the device (ex; amplifier) plugged into the “Soundboard” ¼” “Mono”
and/or “Stereo” jacks on the back of the Synthony II.
The E-Series pickup systems require the use of the volume controls of the
external electronic device (for example, an amplifier) to obtain a blend of
analog and digital sounds.
For synthesized-sound volume levels for instruments with E-Series pickups,
adjust the volume knob on the instrument and/or the Volume control on the
front panel of the Synthony II to reach the desired level of the device (ex;
amplifier) plugged into the “Soundboard” ¼” “Mono” and/or “Stereo”
jacks on the back of the Synthony II.
