SUGGESTED SET-UPS:
The TX50D can be used in a variety of different ways, some of which are shown below and on the following page. Use these ideas to fuel your imagination for the setup which best suits your needs. Idea 1 � Play and sing, with external effects and backup: Connect a microphone to the Low Z jack. Connect an instrument (acoustic or electric guitar, keyboard) to the Instrument Input jack. (This high-Z input works with all types of pickups, from Piezo to active types.) Connect a rhythm machine to the CD Input jacks. A two-button footswitch may be used to select Instrument Channel 1 or 2 and to turn the DSP on and off. Connect the external effects device to the Insert jack using one of the methods shown on page 8. (Note that the external effect will be applied equally to both channels, as well as the CD inputs, so use with discretion.)
