In this scenario, ProKeys Sono is being used as an audio interface to record a microphone:

The microphone’s output signal is received at the microphone (XLR) input jack on ProKeys Sono and sent to the computer through the USB connection.. Sequencer software running on the computer can then capture the microphone signal on one of its mono audio tracks (the track is labeled “Mic” in the illustration above)..

This signal can be monitored while recording or played back after it has been recorded.. Monitoring can take place over powered speakers (connected to the 1/4” main output jacks on the rear panel) or by headphones (connected to either one of the 1/4” headphone jacks on the front panel)..

Keep in mind that—depending on how the Mono button is configured to function—the microphone input routing can be altered to make the microphone appear on both channels (one and two) of a stereo track (i..e.., “centered” in the stereo field).. This functionality may be helpful in direct monitoring situations where headphones are being used.. To learn more about this, see the section titled “The Mono Button” within the “ProKeys Sono Audio Setup and Controls” section of this User Guide..

TIP: Signal from the ProKeys Sono microphone input is usually available on input channel one within your recording software. To record from a microphone, this mono audio track must be configured to receive signal from audio input channel one. See your audio application’s documentation to learn how to configure an audio track.

TIP: When recording with a microphone in your studio, it is recommended that you turn off your speakers and monitor through headphones. This prevents feedback loops which may be very loud and can damage your equipment or harm your hearing.
