Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Is it possible to trigger the arpeggiator from a PC soundcard using 
a standard audio signal? I'm using a Quattro soundcard, sending a  
drum loop (audio, not midi) via a standard guitar cable. Doesn't 
seem to work. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Ben.

By sending it just a kick drum at a constant level (rather than the 
whole drum track as I was trying before.) So, I just programmed the 
kick drum in Cubase's sequencer, bounced it to an audio track, 
change the output of the channel to 'bus 2', and a standard 
instrument cable out of my soundcard (output 3 or 4) into the 
trigger in on the polysix.

Interestingly the external trigger tempo wont control the speed of 
the light on the polysix.

That LED is part of the internal arp. clock circuit and cannot see the 
external trigger.
