Connecting Microphone

Global – Audio in ---
1-Audio in Mic
2-audio out – Left + Right
3-Mic – VP – Mp3 –to Left + Right

Tried two different microphones. Both work when I plug them into Vocal channel of the Bose Compact.
Plugged Mic into Mic impute (rear of keyboard) Tried ¼ inch and XLR

Mic controls on top right of keyboard
Pressed Mic on and put volume up, no sound.
Both Microphones work direct in the Bose; I followed the directions above –
What am I doing wrong

Grrrrr, help John C.

Be sure to turn the input knob on the back of the keyboard, next to where the mic plugs in, clockwise to allow enough gain.
I assume you aren't using a phantom-powered mic. If so, you must turn on phantom power every time you power on.
Also:
Adjust the microphone volume by using the MIC VOLUME knob in the MIC/ VOICE section. You can see the volume of the Mic/In channel in the Main page of the Style Play or Song Play mode. Be sure it is not too low or muted.

I wouldn't think so. It is really versatile as far as adjusting for input. If it works directly into the Bose it should work with the Pa4X. I'm thinking it is one of the adjustments I mentioned.

Don, Tony the volume next to the Mic impute is all the way up. The Audio in light green, sometimes red; so I know the mike is working.

Is it possible the harmony processor has the harmony parts up and my voice down. Where can I check the settings?

I’m excited and I want everything now, sorry.
Thank you again, John C.

I’ve got it, I’ve got it. My desire to succeed makes me become angry, it’s a good thing I don’t drink. (grin)The volume for the main voice was down.

I do appreciate your help, thank you.

Life is good, John C.

Get in there, John C. The TC, like everything else on these Korgs, is deeeeep. Unreal what you can adjust in there.

John ... sometimes we are 'blinded by the light' grin
Actually, I know how excited I would get when I first started working on the Pa900 ... we want to do everything so quickly that we overlook what might be the obvious...

The mind was the second thing to go - I can no longer remember the first. wink

I knew it had to be that. I'm so glad you figured it out.
