Setup and Connections
Connect the two jack outputs to your mixer or audio interface. You can also plug headphones directly into the headphone jack.
- Left USB-C port (Power): Connect the included power adapter. Please use only the supplied adapter, as third-party units with reduced power output may cause unwanted noise or distortion.
- Center USB-C port (Genki Link): Send MIDI from your computer, update firmware, and configure Katla.
- Right USB-C port (Keyboard): Connect a MIDI keyboard, controller, or sequencer.
Audio Path
Section titled “Audio Path”In Katla, the audio path flows through the following stages:
- Global section — initial output shaped by three level sliders
- Filter
- Rústir wavefolder
- Amplifier — shaped by the amp envelope
- Per-voice level sliders in the Voices section
- Reverb
- Drive stage
- Master level knob
The per-voice level sliders appear later in the chain rather than at the start. Voice level and octave settings also influence the sub-oscillators, filters, LFO, all key-tracking behaviors, and many other aspects of the synth — even when the Main OSC level is muted.
