question: hooking a guitar to R3

Hey, just wondering, is it possible? I once tried selecting "audio in" as Osc1 and plugging the guitar into Line 1, but no dice there. Is there a way to make it work? Another option that just came to mind is making a basic vocoder program, micing the guitar amp and playing with the effects from there. Thoughts?

if you set osc1 to audio in, and set the audio in to line 1, whenever you press a key it will let the guitar sound through. you may need to amplify it though, try waveshaping.

to make it so you don't need to press a key, just set an arp to have 100% gate and latch it.

hold shift and vocoder buttons at the same time, then make sure the switch near the mic is set to accept sound from the back and the guitar play through freely assuming it has enough signal to make a line sound.

i'm fairly certain this would vocode it, no?

no, when you press the shift and vocoder buttons at the same time its a bypass feature of the keyboard. you can have the keyboard set to any program, hold shift and vocoder and make sure the switch near the mic is set to recieve sound from the back input 1 and not the mic, and it will play freely. i use this to run drums through my R3 or a looper into the R3 quite often.
