AR input for OT master

[xidnpnlss]

I don’t agree that the input is “bad” or expects super loud levels.

I don’t think it was made to be a transparent “preamp” - like on an interface - but as an optional input to pair something with the AR and glue them both together. In that sense, you have to mix the AR around the input, which is entirely different then a transparent preamp.

That being said, I think it could be certainly usable in this way, just not as you would expect from a soundcard.

The Rytm Input : High headroom?

Is there no way whatsoever to set the level for the synth that one plugs into the AR input? I tried to use my ER-1 through the AR, but I can barely hear it even though I have the vol at max on the drum machine. It would be nice to have an extra input as I would prefer not needing to use a mixer for playing live. But if I can’t get some volume from it, it’s kind of pointless. (As I don’t feel like lowering everything else that I have carefully set up.) Thank you!
