Like the previous scenario, <strong>ProKeys</strong> <strong>Sono</strong> is being used as an audio interface . However, this time<br />

the instrument input is being used to record an electric guitar (or bass) into your computer .<br />

The guitar’s output signal is received at the 1/4” instrument input jack on <strong>ProKeys</strong> <strong>Sono</strong> and sent<br />

to the computer through the USB connection . Sequencer software running on the computer can<br />

then capture the guitar’s signal on one of its mono audio tracks (the track is labeled “Instr” in the<br />

illustration above) .<br />

This signal can be monitored while recording or played back after it has been recorded . Monitoring<br />

can take place over powered speakers (connected to the 1/4” main output jacks on the rear panel)<br />

or by headphones (connected to either one of the 1/4” headphone jacks on the front panel) .<br />

Keep in mind that—depending on how the Mono button is confi gured to function—the instrument<br />

input routing can be altered to make the instrument appear on both channels (one and two)<br />

of a stereo track (i .e ., “centered” in the stereo fi eld) . This functionality may be helpful in direct<br />

monitoring situations where headphones are being used . To learn more about this, see the section<br />

titled “The Mono Button” within the “<strong>ProKeys</strong> <strong>Sono</strong> <strong>Audio</strong> Setup and Controls” section of this<br />

<strong>User</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> .<br />

TIP: Signal from<br />

the <strong>ProKeys</strong> <strong>Sono</strong><br />

instrument input is<br />

usually available on<br />

input channel two<br />

within your recording<br />

software. To record the<br />

instrument’s output, this<br />

mono audio track must<br />

be confi gured to receive<br />

signal from audio input<br />

channel two. See your<br />

audio application’s<br />

documentation to learn<br />

how to confi gure an<br />

audio track.
