The DX27 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 DX27 to other MIDI (Musical In-
strument 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 DX27 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 DX27’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 DX27 MIDI IN terminal
can be simultaneously sent to other MIDI equipment.
The DIN connector end of the supplied cassette cable is plugged into the DX27
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).
Insert the PA-1210 AC power adaptor (supplied standard) cord into the DC IN
jack located on the rear panel of the DX27, 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-1210. You will find the POWER switch next to the DC IN jack
on the rear panel of the DX27.
