DTXTREME III Owner’s Manual

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.

1

Download the USB-MIDI driver from our
website:

http://www.global.yamaha.com/download/usb_midi/

2

Install the downloaded USB-MIDI driver to
the computer.

For instructions on installing, refer to the online Instal-
lation Guide included in the downloaded file package.
When connecting the DTXTREME III to a computer in
the Installation procedure, connect the USB cable to the
USB TO HOST of the DTXTREME III and the USB
terminal of the computer as shown below.

3

Make sure that the USB TO HOST terminal
of the DTXTREME III is enabled.

Press the [UTILITY] button to enter the Utility mode,
then press the [F5] MIDI button followed by the [SF3]
OTHER button.

4

Set the MIDI IN/OUT parameter to “USB”
by using the [DEC/NO] button, [INC/YES]
button or data dial.

5

Press the [ENTER/STORE] button to store
this setting.

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.

NOTE

• Information on system requirements is also available at the above

web site.

NOTE

• The USB-MIDI driver may be revised and updated without prior

notice. Make sure to check and download the latest version from the
