External Input for special sub oscillator effects - It allows for modulation of the filter, oscillator or amplifier by line-level sources, such as external oscillators, rhythm boxes, or other "cyclic" electronic instruments. The input is high impedance,so it will not overload the external device. Sensitivity is adjustable with the External Level Control, but even at maximum sensitivity the input will not provide a discernable effect with mic-level or guitar pickup level signals." via adrien
