Like the previous scenario, ProKeys Sono is being used as an audio interface.. However, this time the instrument input is being used to record an electric guitar (or bass) into your computer..

The guitar’s output signal is received at the 1/4” instrument input jack on ProKeys Sono and sent to the computer through the USB connection.. Sequencer software running on the computer can then capture the guitar’s signal on one of its mono audio tracks (the track is labeled “Instr” 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 instrument input routing can be altered to make the instrument 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 instrument input is usually available on input channel two within your recording software. To record the instrument’s output, this mono audio track must be configured to receive signal from audio input channel two. See your audio application’s documentation to learn how to configure an audio track.
