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 por-
tamento or sustain; 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 delivered to the headphones in mono. Headphone volume is controlled via the
VOLUME 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 DX100 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 DX100’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 DX100
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:
The DX100 operates off 6 “C” size batteries which are inserted in the battery
compartment in the bottom of the synthesizer. Or, 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-l210. You will find the POWER
switch next to the DC IN jack on the rear panel of the DX100.
