The Sound on Sound (SOS) recorder is a great creative tool that allows you to instantly capture idea

after idea; overdubbing an innite amount of passes, all of which can be quickly and easily imported

into a DAW system. The SOS tracks all import as .Wav les and will automatically line up as separate

tracks for further editing, and mixing.

Designed for personal productivity, the SOS includes essential practice tools such as great effects,

play-along rhythms, a chromatic tuner, and the ability to loop and slow down phrases for easy

transcribing and learning. Let’s get you up and running!

Inserting a memory card and making connections

1. Make sure the power is switched to off.

2. Be sure to install two AA batteries or use the optional AC adaptor that is dedicated to the SOS

(KA193 – Korg part# 405012500).

3. Insert the microSD memory card into the card slot on left side of the SOS until it clicks.

It is not necessary to connect the SOS to headphones or a monitor system, as the SOS has a built-in mono

reference speaker. However, if you desire louder/stereo monitoring, connect a set of phones or monitors to the

headphone output, on the right side of the SOS. When the headphone jack is used, the internal speaker will be muted.

4. You are now ready to turn on the SOS recorder by pressing and holding down the power button, which is located

at the top right just under the LCD screen.

Selecting an input source 1. On the right side of the SOS you have input options: Guitar, Line, and Mic. For this example you will not need to use any of these inputs, as we will be using the built-in stereo condenser mic. Note: If you do not plug into the Guitar, Line, or Mic inputs, the SOS will automatically default to the built-in mic. However, if you plug into any of the three inputs, the built-in mic will be muted. Recording a new song 1.

Cancelling recording (Undo/Redo) You can use the Undo function to cancel your recording. To cancel the Undo operation, use the Redo feature. You can set the Undo/Redo function to Undo 1 time, 10 times, or an infinite amount of Undo. For the simplicity of this EasyStart manual, we will keep the amount of Undo to 1 time, as this is the SOS factory default setting. 1. Press and hold the UNDO/REDO button, then, while holding down the UNDO/REDO button, press the left controller button, after recording.

Turning the rhythm machine on or off 1. Press the RHYTHM button to turn the rhythm machine on. The Rhythm LED indicator will light up. 2. Press the RHYTHM button again to turn the rhythm machine off.

Using the Guitar input There are both Guitar and Bass amp models including effects, offered in the SOS. To hear and record your guitar, you will follow all the same steps described earlier in this EasyStart manual, except the input will be the guitar, instead of the built-in condenser mic that we used in the first example. Connect your guitar to the GUITAR IN jack. Do not connect anything to the LINE or MIC jack. 1. Press the Record button to enter Record Ready mode. The Record LED will flash. 2.
