The developers of the littleBits Korg Synth Kit have added documentation at their site that explains how you can use the Kit to process audio from a guitar, voice or other instruments.
To connect your instrument to the Synth Kit, you will need:
- littleBits Synth Kit
- An instrument with an output jack
- The littleBits microphone module
- An 1/8″ audio cable to connect your instrument to the microphone module.
- An amplifier or a ΒΌ” to 1/8″ cable
In a nutshell, plug your instrument into an amp and then use the 1/4″ to 1/8″ cable to connect the output to the audio input on the littleBits microphone module.
