LutherDeLorme Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I have managed to connect my HD500X to my PC and I now can record guitar audio on my PC. (Which is by the way great sounding, way better then on iPad which I used to do.) My question is: Can I connect my Korg M3 (this is a synth/workstation with audio output) to the 500 and record the audio of the Korg in stereo on my PC? I was thinking about connecting the Korg to the FX Return left and right input slots of the 500, and set the FX Return switch to line.

TheRealZap Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 exactly right... just make sure that you add the fx loop to your tone, and whatever other effects you might want.. and that should do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great! Thanks for reply and for the tip about adding fx loop to tone! Hadn't thought of that. Thx!!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 You might also find (not 100% sure) that you need to insert a dummy plug into the HD500 FX Send jack to enable the FX Loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tried it with iPad (instead of Korg M3) and works fine, and dummy plug is not necessary. Had a small hickup: the 500 spontaniously rebooted when I double clicked another tone in Edit screen on PC. But after that no problems.

Rewolf48 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I do this both at home and live - Yamaha Motif XF6 rather than Korg M3, but I did used to use Korg N364. We do Prog Rock and I double as both Keyboards and Guitar into FRFR. You don't need any dummy send, just ignore it and any settings for it (unless your keyboard can also act as an FX processor... stop too complicated) Physical connections: L+R outputs of the Keyboard going into FX Loop L+R inputs, optional MIDI Out from HD500 into MIDI In on keyboard. I place the FX Loop last but one in all my signal chains: for just Keyboards the MIX should be 100%, but if you want both guitar and keyboards then 50% MIX is perfect. Boost the Gain if required The last FX in all my signal chains is my global volume so that I have foot control over it between a "background" and a "lead" level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherDeLorme Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Thx for advice and tips about the settings! :) I also have a Motif, the XS6. Happy to know that these audio connections are possible with the HD500(X). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melodyshine Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 So the aux in isn't stereo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 No. All selectable inputs for signal processing are mono (I.e. Those that can be assigned to Input1 or Input2). The cd/mp3 input is stereo but not assignable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melodyshine Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Then I am happy that I've bought the POD HD500 instead of the POD HD which lacks in an FX loop and because Iam gonna buy a workstation in some months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
