DTXTREME III Owner’s Manual
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.
NOTE
• 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]

Synchronizing with an external MIDI instrument (Master and Slave)
The Songs of this instrument can be synchronized to the playback of an external MIDI sequencer, To do this, one device
must be set to internal clock operation and the other (as well as all other devices to be controlled) to external clock. The
device set to internal clock serves as a reference for all connected devices, and is referred to as the “master” instrument.
The connected devices set to external clock are referred to as “slaves.” When recording playback data of an external MIDI
sequencer to a Song of the DTXTREME III in the above connection example, make sure to set the MIDI synchronization
parameter to follow external clock with the following operation in the Utility mode.
