Working with an External Sound Source

You can connect a smartphone or other music player to
TRACKFORMER and apply effects to the external
sound source. You can also connect a microphone to
TRACKFORMER and use it as a microphone effector.

Adjusting Volume

Use MIX FADER to adjust the balance between the
external sound source and the internal sound source
(sequence). The external and internal sound sources are
at the same volume when the fader is in the center
position.
External sound source: Max
Internal sound source: Min

sequence data file 000. The procedure below shows
how to apply the filter effect to an external sound
