Connecting To Midi Equipment - Yamaha DTXTREME Owner's Manual

Using the AUX IN Jack
The AUX IN jack on the DTXTREME rear panel offers simple mixing of an external stereo
audio source (CD, MD, tape, or so on) and the DTXTREME sounds. Mixed sounds will be
output from the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks. The AUX IN VOL control can adjust the
output volume of the external audio, making it easy to balance the DTXTREME sounds and
the external audio.
n The AUX IN has a stereo mini-jack. Use a 1/8" stereo plug for audio connections.

Connecting to MIDI Equipment

The DTXTREME can connect to external MIDI devices using MIDI cables. Through MIDI
connections, the DTXTREME can control external MIDI devices or, conversely, external MIDI
devices such as a keyboard or sequencer can control (play) the DTXTREME tone generator.
Here are several MIDI connection examples.
n Each example described below needs the HOST SELECT switch on the DTXTREME rear panel to be set to
"MIDI" to enable the outputting of performance information generated on the DTXTREME.
