The
DX100
has
a single
mono
audio output
for
its
tone generator channel. This
is
labelled
OUTPUT.
It
permits
sending
a
mono
signal to either
a
mono
or
stereo
sound
system,
or a
mixing console
for
recording
or
PA
applications.
The
FOOT
SW
phone
jack
is
for
an optional
footswitch.
It
accepts
a
Yamaha FC-4
or
FC-5
footswitch
or
equivalent
for
portamento/sustain
control;
press
for
sustain
or
portamento
release to
damp
or turn
portamento
off.
Yamaha's
unique
BC-1
breath
controller
is
plugged
into
the mini-jack
on
the
rear
panel.
The
PHONES
jack
accepts
any
standard
pair of
stereo
headphones.
The
audio
signal
is
sent
to
the
headphones
in
mono. Headphone volume
is
controlled
by
the
VOLU
M
control
on
the top
panel.
These
terminals
are
used
when
connecting
the
DX100
to
other
MIDI
(Musical
Instrument
Digital Interface)
compatible
equipment such
as
digital
sequence
re-
corders,
modular
FM
voice generators,
drum
machines,
etc.
The MIDI
OUT
terminal
transmits
MIDI
data
from
the
DX1 00
to
other
MIDI
equipment.
The MIDI
OUT
terminal
will
normally be
connected
to
the
MIDI
IN terminal of
the receiving
equipment.
The MIDI
IN terminal receives
MIDI
data
from
external
MIDI equipment
such
as
a digital
sequence
recorder,
music computer
or
modular
FM
voice generator.
The DXIOO's MIDI
IN terminal
will
normally be
connected
to
the
MIDI
OUT
terminal
of
the transmitting
equipment.
The MIDI
THRU
terminal re-transmits the data
re-
ceived
at
the
MIDI
IN
terminal.
Thus,
data received
via
the
DX100
MIDI
IN terminal
can be simultaneously
sent
to
other
MIDI
equipment.
The DIN
connector end
of
the supplied cassette cable
is
plugged
into
the
DX1 00
CASSETTE
connector.
The
three
plugs
on
the other
end
of
the cable
should
be
connected
to a cassette
data recorder
(the
kind normally
used with personal
computers,
etc.)
as follows:
RED
-*
cassette
deck microphone
input.
WHITE
->
cassette
deck earphone
output.
BLACK
cassette
deck remote
input
(where
applicable).
The
DX100
operates
off
6 "C"
size batteries
which
are inserted
in
the battery
compartment
at
the
bottom
of
the
synthesizer.
To
operate the
DX100
from an
AC
power
outlet, insert
the optional
PA-1210
AC
power
adaptor cord
into
the
DC
IN
jack located
on
the
rear
panel
of
the
DX100,
and
then plug
the
standard
2-prong
plug
into
an
AC
wall socket.
Be
sure
that
your
local line
voltage
matches
that
specified
on
the
PA-1
21
0.
You
will
find
the
POWER
switch next
to
the
DC
IN jack
on
the
rear
panel
of
the
DX100.
