I tried searching i swear!!!
Hey everyone,
I was wondering if i can get some advice. I have a turntable attached to my mixer which (due to mbox running out of inputs) is plugged into my R3 inputs.
I get sound when i go to the "audio in" screen but only when i hold down the key. Is there any way to have the audio playing without having to hold a note down?????
Thanks.

maybe try using the arpeggiator and the latch button? haven't messed with the audio ins on my Radias R but I would think there'd be a way using this method where you could feed a continous external signal through the synth, it would likely take a bit of fine tuning to get it right. of course I could be waaaaay off base with this idea, and I'd try it myself first before posting if it wasn't for the fact that it's already 6 in the morning and I've been up all night.
perhaps somebody else can suggest something that would be more obvious....

Yeah, the more obvious answer is to read the (F-expletive deleted) manual.
Let's see, I look in the index under Audio.
I see Audio In 27 and Audio In Thru on page 79.
Guess which one answers his question?
The better answer: don't use your R3 as a mixer. Buy a mixer. Guitar center has them for $40, such as the Behringer EURORACK UB1002.
The purpose of the audio inputs on the R3 are to use them as a source or modulator. That's why it normally requires a keypress, because bypassing the synth engine defeats the whole purpose of having the inputs in the first place. Otherwise you've just converted a $600+ keyboard into something that $40 mixer can do much better.

Re: Using R3 for audio in.....
try turning the vocoder on and in page 36 modulator-B turn the HPF Gate to DISABLE and in the same page turn the HPF Level knob to an audible level
what I did when I still had my R3 was created an blank patch where the aux in was the only sound source - I think there might actually be a program in there that defaults to this.
The problem which you've probably already realized though is that the auxiliary audio only sounds when the keys are played, and that the latch setting only works when the arpeggiator is on. Neither of these situations are ideal.
If you have an old instrument cable lying around (1/4") just yank off one of the metal jacks and solder a wire that connects the two points are normally separately soldered (the tip and ring connections I guess this would be)
(There's a post in here somewhere that I made about this already if you care to look)
This will give you a makeshift footswitch. Plug it in to the back of the R3 when you need continuous audio and just play a chord at full velocity.
This will latch the keys and you can work hands free

That's completely wrong. Did you not read the thread?thedvs01 wrote:The problem which you've probably already realized though is that the auxiliary audio only sounds when the keys are played, and that the latch setting only works when the arpeggiator is on. Neither of these situations are ideal.
You can get the aux audio to sound without pressing keys by enabling Audio In Thru. Press two buttons.
