To use the External Inputs in a Dual Mono Configuration:
- Press the Utility Button to view the Utility screen.
- Hold Shift and turn the Value Knob to select EXT IN: Type and press Enter.
- Turn the Value Knob to select Mono.
PRO TIP
With two different Mono Synths plugged into the External Inputs of the TR-8S you can combine the two different tones from the Synths, and apply Sidechain to the combined signal. Since there is just one Gain Parameter for the Eternal Inputs, you’ll need to adjust the Level Balance between the two Mono Signals at the Synths themselves.
Also, by adjusting the Kit: EXT IN Pan Parameter in a given Kit, you can include just one Mono Signal one or the other on a given Pattern. Set the Pan all the way to Left or Right, depending on which Mono Input you want to include.
