monaural mode. Note that the

integrated HTS circuit keeps

the sound texture the

same whether theeffect

is turned on or off.

Input (L (MONO)-IN-R) terminal

Input terminal for MIDI signals. This

terminal receives MIDI signals from an

external MIDI device.

MIDI IN terminal

This terminal is used to connect to an

external amplifier or mixer. To feed monaural

signals, connect to the L(MONO) terminal.

Output (L (MONO)-OUT-R) terminal
