Using the Digital Key Controller

To CHANGE the natural KEY of source audio using the DIGITAL KEY CONTROLLER:

Use the DIGITAL KEY CONTROLLER to obtain the desired musical key. To STEP UP, press the button marked "b". To STEP DOWN, press the button marked "#". To revert to the original key, press the middle button.

NOTE: Digital key control is not applied to mic channels

To get a good BALANCE between the MIC CHANNELS and SOURCE MUSIC:

If you find that music and microphone output is not balanced for a good sound, simply adjust the VOLUME and MIC 1&2 VOLUME controls. It is recommended to first set the music volume and then adjust the microphone volume(s) to a good balance. Also, keep in mind that HIGH, MID and LOW frequency levels affect the overall "sound" of both music and vocals, so using custom EQ settings is also helpful in getting a good overall balanced sound.

NOTE: Excessive high frequencies can lead to feedback, so be careful when adjusting them
