Connecting External MIDI Devices
Using a standard MIDI cable (available separately), you can connect an external MIDI device, and control it from the DTX-
TREME III.
This connection lets you sound an external MIDI tone generator (synthesizer, tone generator module, etc.) by playing the
DTXTREME III or playing back a Song on the DTXTREME III. Also, an external sequencer can be used to drive the DTX-
TREME III’s Tone Generator. Furthermore, the use of MIDI functions allows for an even greater range of performance and
recording possibilities with the DTXTREME III.
Controlling an external tone generator or synthesizer
Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT connector on the DTXTREME III with the MIDI IN connector on the external
MIDI device.
Controlling from an external MIDI keyboard or synthesizer
Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI IN connector on the DTXTREME III with the MIDI OUT connector on the external
MIDI device.

•Any one of the DTXTREME III interfaces (MIDI connectors or the USB terminal) can be used for MIDI data transmis-
sion/reception. However, they cannot be used at the same time. Select which connector is used for MIDI data transfer
in the Utility mode with the following operation: [UTILITY] [F5] MIDI [SF3] OTHER MIDI IN/OUT
