If you’re playing a patch whose patch algorithm is Process Type 1 or Process Type 2, connect an external audio source (e.g., keyboard or CD player) to the V-Synth XT’s “INPUT L” jack, and input an audio signal.

MIDI Keyboard

Connect your mic to the front panel MIC jack.

Power amp

Before you connect your mic, set the mic switch to the appropriate position for the type of mic you’re connecting.

•If your mic requires phantom power to be supplied via the XLR jack, use the “PHANTOM ON” setting.

•If your mic uses a phone plug or does not require phantom power, set the MIC Switch (p. 10) to the “NORMAL” setting.

*If you connect a mic, don’t select the “Hi-Z” setting of the MIC switch.

*The audio signal that is input from the MIC jack can be turned on/off by the MIC Jack Switch (p. 38). Be sure that this is turned on when you’re using the mic.
