If You’re Connecting Your Microphone to the EXT IN Jack (EXT IN)
Connect it to the EXT IN jack as shown.
Turn the [EXT IN] knob to “MIC.”
This knob adjusts the level of the sound from the EXT IN jack. (Turn the knob toward “MIC” to
increase the level, or toward “LINE” to decrease it.) If you’ve connected a mic, you should turn this
to “MIC.”
➞ Refer to “Adjusting the Microphone Input Level” (p. 28) for more about this adjustment.
Set the [MIX TO MIC] switch “ON.”
The [MIX TO MIC] switch setting determines whether the sound from the EXT IN jack will be used
as a microphone input (modulator; the ON setting) or as the carrier (the OFF setting).
We’ll be using it as a microphone input, so select the “ON” position here.

Modulator
The tonal character (formants) of
the voice from the microphone
input is extracted, and these
formants are used to modulate
(transform) the carrier signal.
If you want the sound from the
rear panel EXT IN jack to be the
modulator, set the [MIX TO MIC]
switch “ON” (
➞ p. 114).
Carrier
This is the signal that is the basis of the
sound and determines its timbre and
pitch. To use the sound from the rear
panel EXT IN jack as the carrier, hold down
the [SHIFT] button, press the [VOCODER]
sound button, and select the bottom
sound in the list that appears.
If you want the sound from the rear
panel EXT IN jack to be the carrier, set
the [MIX TO MIC] switch “OFF”
(
➞ p. 112).
