2. Play a couple of notes on your other device.
The audio is now routed via Kong’s Bus FX slot and further via the Master FX slot, to the Main Audio Outputs of
Kong.
3. Select suitable FX devices for the Bus FX and Master FX slots in Kong according to the descriptions in “The
FX modules” and tweak the parameters to your liking.
D By connecting CV signals to the Parameter inputs in the Bus FX and Master FX sections on the back of the
panel, you can modulate the first two parameters on the selected FX modules, see “Using CV modulation of
Bus FX and Master FX parameters”.
Attenuate the CV signal with the corresponding knobs next to the modulation jacks.
Using external effects with Kong
It’s also possible to hook up an external effect device in the signal chain to process the Kong audio, or to process any
external audio routed via the Audio Inputs to the left on the unfolded back panel of Kong.
D Connect the external effect device to the External Effect Outputs and Inputs.
In the picture below, an RV7000 Reverb is connected to Kong’s External Effect section allowing the RV7000 to
process the signal between Kong’s internal Bus FX and Master FX slots:

! Note that if you have selected “Master FX” or “Separate Out” as output in the Drum Output selector, the BUS
FX Send knob on the Drum Control Panel controls the signal level also to the External Effect, see “Signal
flow”.
