What is best way to connect guitar? Direct to microphone jack? OK to connect it via effects pedal first? What about keyboards etc? Thanks!

I'll answer the easy question first. Going from Keyboard to KP3 is quite simple. Just Find a cord that has 1/4" to RCA (or 1/8" with 1/4" adapter *easier* to RCA). The 1/4" plugs into the output on the keyboard and the RCA plugs into the line in on the KP3. As far as guitar (I haven't tried it yet), but you need that ever elusive 1/4" to RCA plug. I hear it's very hard to find even on Amazon. I don't think plugging into the microphone jack will work. Unfortunately I don't think it's as easy with a guitar vs. a keyboard. Keyboards already have a preamp so you just need a speaker to output the sound. Guitars need that preamp and I don't think the KP3 supplies preamp power. I could be wrong. A last complicated suggestion would be to go guitar==&gt; audio interface ==&gt; Apple logic, Guitar Rig, etc ==&gt;headphone input to RCA to line in on KP3 ==&gt; KP3 line out to speakers. You'll probably lose some tone or not have the tone you want but that would work.

you could connect anything you want to it via RCA input on the back side of it as long as you monitor the signal going in so it doesn't overload. the peak indicator will light up red if the signal is peaking. just get the converter for the type of cable you are using and everything should work just fine. i would not suggest using microphone jack to connect anything but the microphone to it. hope this helps you. cheers

You could plug the guitar into the microphone jack. I have a korg vocoder that has 2, 1/4 mono outputs, that I run cables to the back of the Korg Kaoss. By converting the 1/4 jacks into 2 RCA adapter's the Korg Kaoss can be plugged into into the RCA inputs.

I've done it but its really glitchy and unnatural sounding. Helicon makes a good, inexpensive harmonizer. I picked one up used for 60 bucks at Guitar Center.

Yeah that's how you do it! Weird I have the exact same set up, I bought the limited edition gold rokit 5s from guitar center a month or two ago. All you gotta do is go into your control panel and click on sound and devices, and set the Scarlett as your input and output. So the sound from your computer goes out to your interface then out from there to the rokits. Hope this helped!

I bought a MIDI to USB connector, but I could never get it to actually connect to my computer. Also, it only has an output, not an input.

A simple way would be to run a cable from your headphone output on the front of the keyboard to the amp input. Minimize volume from keyboard and let the amp do the work

For keyboard there is a cheap multi efdects pedal calledthe digitech500. Works great through direct connect. But you should also get a sustain pedal

You need to use speaker cables....NOT guitar or instrument cables. Use speaker cables only, you'll have a better sound.

I would plug in the guitar direct and use the effect "p51 for LP (AC SIM)". For vocals the built in microphones work decent. If you buy a separate condenser mic that will work better, but you likely have to spend $600+ for a good condenser mic.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, straight out of the box, used the cable that came with the game, and it works fantastic together. I'm still not very good at the guitar though...

Directly you cannot plug a MIDI keyboard to this. This is purely audio interface without direct MIDI In/Out. You can use it with DAW. NOw if you want to use MIDI Key board then if your keyboard has USB MIDI I/O you have to connect it to your laptop/desktop. Your MIDI will be available in DAW or other MIDI enabled program. If your keyboard has only 5-pin MIDI IN/OUT then you have to get a USB-MIDI interface or a MIDI/IO Card for desktop. If you want more clarification please reply. Thanks.

The signal goes from your guitar's pickups to your pedal and then into your amp. So plug the Boss Pedal into the Amps input (via the pedal's output), and plug your guitar into the Pedal's Input. Also you should try it with the Vox AC30 Amp Model on your Mustang. I forgot what number exactly (if you roll your dial back to the left it's one of the higher numbered presets), but if you can find it, it's an absolutely delicious combination. I know because I own the Mustang III and use the AC30 + Boss Blues Driver all the time. Haha

It will connect. It *may* not work like you want though: You may have issues with signal strength. That won't matter if the 1/8th input on your stereo has a pre-amp behind it, but it might if it doesn't. Try it. If it works, it's all good, if not, you can get a pre-amp (with 1/4" in and out) to boost the signal and it will definitely work then. If you have a laptop, try plugging it into the mic input on that, downloading a freeware guitar FX package and then playing thew output from that through your stereo - you'll have a blast!

I think you can. Connect your guitar (cable with 1/4" jack) into Input of PDC21, and then XLR M/F cable from PDC21 XLR output to XLR input on your mixer. I use PDC21 between output of mixer preamplifier or keyboard and input of power amplifier to get rid of hum noise and it works.

Your MIDI connection would be possible with the hardware and MIDI DIN ports. Although, guitar equipment will typically be registering MIDI notes, CC values, program/bank changes, SysEx dumps, and MIDI sync messages. Im not sure your going to be able to get your signal to switch back and forth from your amps similar to an A/B guitar signal switch. You can always send a support inquiry for details on your particular setup at www.iconnectivity.com/support

You aldo need a Mic and xlr cable ,and cable for guitar or piano to control harmony .For mic the Senheiser C835 is a good option ,96 $ in amazon

You can get a midi to usb cable to do the trick. I have a TASCAM unit that I run my keyboard and mic thru though, because my mic needs phantom power. It came with the cable needed to connect to the PC. The biggest difference would be the price and what, if any other needs you may have.

I never received the first request for a response, but I'll try to help answer this one. My son, who is in a band, has this keyboard AND three amps. I will ask him tomorrow when he gets home if it will or not. He has a Vox AC15, Jackson Scarlett and a bass amp. I know the back side of the keyboard has jacks for MIDI, auxiliary, earphones, etc. but not sure it will feed to an amp cable. I'll let you know as soon as I can stop him long enough to inquire.
