Softpop is equipped to interface with other instruments in several 
different ways. 

OUTPUT can drive headphones or be connected to any line-level input. 

Audio INPUT can accept a wide range of signals to be processed with 
the Softpop. It has a  Zener saturation pre-amp for added character, 
a  dedicated AMP output, and a  DYNAMICS envelope follower output 
handy for dynamic processing. See the 

Effect Patch Ideas section

 for 

more information about audio processing.

MIDI IN serves for tonal control and sequencer synchronization, along 
with the SYNC IN, which accepts analog clock format that can work with 
various devices since the SP2 has a built-in divider/multiplier. See the 

TEMPO section

 for more information.
