Controlling the Keyboard Sounds

Sampling a Sound and Playing It on the Keyboard (Sampling)

You can use the Digital Keyboard to sample a sound from a portable audio player, or other device, and then play the sound with keyboard keys. For example, you could sample the bark of your dog and then use the sound in a melody. You also can sample and use passages from a CD. The sampling feature is a great way to create new sounds that are highly creative.

Connection

Keyboard AUDIO IN jack

Connection requires commercially available connecting cords, supplied by you. The connecting cords should have a stereo mini plug on one end and a plug that matches the configuration of the external device on the other end.

Turn off the external device and the Digital Keyboard before connecting them.
