Connecting A Computer - Yamaha DTXTREME III Owner's Manual

Setting Up

Connecting a Computer

Although the DTXTREME III is exceptionally powerful and versatile all by itself, connecting it to a computer – via USB
cable – provides even greater power and versatility. This feature lets you transfer MIDI data between the DTXTREME III
and your computer. In this section you'll learn how to make the connections.
NOTE
• Since the DTXTREME III has no built-in speakers, you'll need an external
audio system or a set of stereo headphones to properly monitor it. For
details, see page 19.
