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-Seriespickup 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.
