Topic: Can't get sound when connecting KorgTriton LE to RME Babyface

Hello,

I have a Korg Triton LE synthesizer.  It is plugged into the wall outlet and when I connect my headphones to the L/Mono audio output on the back, I can hear sound from the synth.

The headphone connection looks like this:

Now, I have an RME babyface that is connected to a Mac Mini via USB.  The babyface is connected to two Yamaha HS80 speakers via XLR connectors connected to the babyface's line out L and R. When I play music on my Mac Mini, I can hear the music from the speakers and control the volume via the babyface's knob.

I want to be able to hear the Korg playing out of the HS80s so I went to a music shop and the gentleman recommended this guitar cable looking cable.  Not sure what type it is but here is a picture of one of the ends  both ends are the same):

I plugged this into the L/mono audio output on the Korg and connected the other end to the instrument input on the right of the babyface (next to the headphone jack).  When I played the synthesizer, I heard no sound. 

Any idea what is wrong?  The synth works with headphones, speakers work with babyface, but babyface is not playing the sound of the synth to the speakers.

The input is not sent to output by default, you have to route it. Make sure the inputs Inst 3 & 4 are separated into two mono inputs, instead of a stereo pair (Stereo button in the channel options). Click on the Main out (AN 1/2) on the bottom row to select the output, then raise the fader for input 3. The knob above the fader controls pan, double click on the knob to set pan to center for dual mono output.

Your trition will sound much much better in stereo so get 2 of those cables. Connect L to 3 and R to 4. Then setting track3 to mono and de pan settings do not apply.
