I don't think, that you will be very happy with external sources (except 
your going for the sound of randomly squeaking pigs). The PLLs 
comparator requires a quite steady input signal.

In fact the main intention of the A-196 is frequency multiplication. Its 
basically a digital module, like the logic gate module or the quantizer.
Some people find the (originally unwanted) side effects interesting, 
which happen if those module are used direct with analogue audio input 
signals.
If you want to use the A-196 with external Audio in the intended way 
(fq-multiplying) then the audiosignal requires a decent effort of pre 
processing (multiple stages of compression, filtering and gate'gin) to 
be usable for the A-196.
