Microphone
– Adding Harmony Vocals and Synth Vocoder to Your Singing –
By connecting a microphone to the [M
IC INPUT] jack (accepts either 
XLR or standard 1/4” phone plug connectors), you can enjoy singing 
along with your keyboard performance or with Song playback. The instru-
ment outputs your vocals through the connected speaker system (page 15). 
Moreover, you can automatically appl y various Vocal Harmony effects to 
your voice as you sing, or you can use Synth Vocoder to graft the unique 
characteristics of your voice on to synthesizer and other sounds.

GAIN] knob to the minimum position.
2Connect a microphone to the [MIC INPUT] jack.
3Turn on the power of the instrument.

knob while singing into the microphone.
Adjust the [MIC GAIN] knob so that the INPUT LEVEL meter lights in green or

button). Make sure that the meter does not light in orange or red, since this indi-
cates that the input level is too high.

ance of 250 ohms is recommended.
NOTE
The com bo jack accepts 
either XLR or 1/4” phone 
pl ug connectors.
