Connecting various sources to the audio inputs
Let's try connecting various types of audio device (radio, or MD or CD player) or tone
generator to the audio input jacks. Sound that contains no drums is most effective.
Try out various types of sounds or music. Depending on the content, you may discover
unexpectedly interesting results.
1. Connect an audio device etc. to the audio inputs of the ER-1. Each jack is monaural, so
you may need to use a stereo-mono adapter plug, de-
pending on the device you are connecting.
2. Adjust the output level of the connected device so that
the peak LED lights only at the maximum levels. At this
time you can turn on the Audio In Thru key (the key
will light) to hear the input sound without having to
press the part key.
3. Select the pattern or song whose volume you wish to
adjust, and press the Play/Pause key to begin playback.
4. Press the Mode key to enter Global mode.
5. Use the cursor [

LED to
Input Gain 1
.
6. Rotate the dial to adjust the input volume to create a
balance with the volume of the other parts.
Adjust
Input Gain 2
in the same way.
The input sound will be heard while you press the Audio In part key. The Audio In parts
that are recorded in a pattern or song do not produce the sound that was being input
when the parts were being recorded; they simply allow the sound that is received in the
audio input at that moment to be heard from when the trigger is turned on, for the
duration set by the
Decay
knob.

If you wish to strike Audio In keys 1 or 2 to hear the sound, you must turn off the Audio In Thru key
(the key will be dark).
The audio inputs are for line-level input. Microphones, guitars, or turntables etc. cannot be con-
nected directly.
If the input gain setting is excessive, the sound may be distorted.
