PA4X Outputs

Post by mabcomp »

There are 4 Outputs : Right and left or 1 & 2. Why is it I can only use one or the other? why cant all the outputs be used simultaneously.

By default everything is routed to the main outputs. If you'd like to use those extra outputs, you'd have to do it manually. Keep in mind that outputs 1 and 2 bypass the internal effects, so you'll only get a dry sound out of them.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Pity Korg arent as fast. Not exactly the answer I wanted to hear. So in other words they are about as much use as a handbrake in a canoe

Let me put it this way. Those optional additional outputs are there in case if you need them. Say you have this awesome Bass amp you'd like to use for the bass track. You can simply route it through output 1 or 2 and send the dry signal to your amp this way.

I've used them multiple times to send the metronome (as a click track) to a live drummer as well.

So they are really useful in my opinion. Though it would've been nice to have an option to include internal effects on those outputs...
