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.

In Katla, the audio path flows through the following stages:

  1. Global section — initial output shaped by three level sliders
  2. Filter
  3. Rústir wavefolder
  4. Amplifier — shaped by the amp envelope
  5. Per-voice level sliders in the Voices section
  6. Reverb
  7. Drive stage
  8. 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.
