Using external input
1. Modifying an external waveform
A waveform from an external device connected to the
AUDIO IN jack can be modified in the same way as an
internal waveform.
Before you connect an external device, turn off the power
of both devices, and set the MS2000/MS2000R’s AUDIO IN
[1/
] knob to 0.
1
Connect the external device.
2
Turn on the power of both devices.
3
Set the MIDI channel of the MS2000/MS2000R and the
MIDI channel of the connected MIDI device to the
same channel.
For details on setting the MS2000/MS2000R’s MIDI
channel, refer to Basic Guide p.11, Connections “3. Set-
ting the MIDI channel (preparations for playing).”
4
Press the OSCILLATOR 1 [WAVE] key to make the
AUDIO IN LED light.
5
Input a waveform from the connected external device,
and adjust the AUDIO IN [1/
] knob so that the
LED does not light red.
6
Operate the knobs and keys of the FILTER, AMP, EG,
and LFO to modify the input waveform.
For details on parameter settings, refer to Basic Guide
p.20 “Editing a synth program.”
Pitch-related parameters will not apply to the wave-
form from the AUDIO IN jack.
2. Using the vocoder function
Here’s how to select a vocoder program (a program whose
voice mode is Vocoder), and try out the vocoder function.
a. Using an internal waveform as the carrier
Before you connect a mic, turn off the power, and set the
MS2000/MS2000R
’s AUDIO IN [2/
] knob to 0.
1
Connect a mic to the AUDIO IN 2 jack.
2
Set the rear panel [AUDIO IN 2 Level] switch to the
MIC position.
3
Turn on the power of the MS2000/MS2000R.
4
Select a vocoder program.
Programs for which the lower left of the LCD screen
indicates Vocoder are vocoder programs.
5
Input a voice from the mic, and adjust AUDIO IN [2/
] so that the LED does not light red.
By rotating the [
] knob you can directly
output the voice that was input. Make adjustments
while listening to the voice that is input.
6
While inputting a voice, play the keyboard.
The sound with the vocoder effect will be output.
If you are unable to hear the effect, try adjusting the
AMP [
] knob or the MIXER [
] knob.
For details on vocoder editing, refer to Basic Guide p.28,
Editing section “Editing vocoder program.”
b. Using an external waveform as the carrier
If you wish to use a waveform that is input from an exter-
nal device as the carrier, make settings as described in both
of the previous sections “1. Modifying an external wave-
form” and “2. Using the vocoder function.”
