4-2. OPTIONAL UNIT:

The following types of equipment are available as optional units for the PS-3100.

PS-3010	Separate Polyphonic Keyboard	This keyboard section with a wide range of full capability manual controls greatly expands the possibilities of the polyphonic synthesizer. It may be used with the PS-3100 by employing the 60P connector.
PS-3020	Monophonic Keyboard	The special design of this keyboard allows you to use the polyphonic sound source of the PS-3100 or PS-3300 as a monophonic synthesizer. With such a setup it is possible to produce an extremely rich sound not obtainable with other equipment in the past.
PS-3030	Digital Sequencer	This PS-series digital sequencer allows chords to be played automatically.
PS-3040	Universal Foot Controller	This 2-ganged foot pedal was designed especially for use with the PS-3100.
PS-3050	60P Junction Box	This Junction box is used when you wish to connect more than one external optional unit such as the PS-3300 to the PS-3100 by means of 60P connectors.
PS-3300	3-System Intergrated Multi-Capacity Unit.
PS-3001	60P Connector Cord
Special Hard Carrying Case		Please be sure to use this protective case when travelling or shipping the synthesizer.

4-4 THE EFFECT OF USING TWO PS-3100's

 Using 60P connector: [left]
When two PS-3100's are connected to each other, the keyboards are connected in parallel. With this arrangement one keyboard can be used to operate both units at the same time. For example you can make two completely different sounds on the two units, get the sound of a two system polyphonic synthesizer, or by changing the scale of one unit you can use this arrangement in the same way as a two sound source polyphonic synthesizer.

 Patch panel connections: [right]
Besides the keyboard connection, you can obtain a wide range of effects by setting up a Patch between the two units. You can create synchronous control capability from one unit to the other by using the KEY TRIG and MG. This is an effective method even when using the 60P connector and it is the best method when it comes to complex manual operation.
