Peripherals
In addition to the built-in triggering system, DTXTREME IIs also features a built-in MIDI tone generator, built-
in music sequencer, and mixing functions with various effects. This all-in-one self-contained system makes it
possible to play the DTXTREME IIs system right out of the box — once you finish pad connections and turn the
system on. What’s more, the system can easily be expanded with other peripheral devices since the instrument
supports various types of connections. Here we’ll show you some typical audio and MIDI connections so that you
can learn how to fit the DTXTREME IIs system into your own working environment.
Audio Connections
When recording your performance on a DTXTREME IIs drum kit or sending its sounds to a mixer, connect your
equipment as follows (Yamaha AW4416 works in both situations as mixer and recorder):
The OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) and INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT (1 to 6) jacks produce line level audio signals
regardless of whether headphones are connected or not. These jacks are mono phone type. To make audio
connections via these jacks, use cables with a mono phone plug for the DTXTREME IIs and an appropriate plug
for the other device.
Use both of OUTPUT jacks (L/MONO and R) for stereo output. If the other device has a mono input,
use the L/MONO jack only.
Connect a set of headphones to the PHONES jack for monitoring the stereo output (identical to that of the
OUTPUT jacks). The sounds output from the INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT jacks cannot be heard from the
headphones connected to the PHONES jack.
The DIGITAL OUTPUT terminal allows you to output the stereo signal as digital audio to an audio device that
has a coaxial-type digital input (S/PDIF). The stereo output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack is identical to that
output from the OUTPUT jacks.
External audio signals input to AUX IN can be monitored together with the DTXTREME IIs sounds via
headphones connected to the PHONES jack (page 75), and can be recorded as a waveform sample for an
additional drum voice (page 83). In either case, you can adjust the AUX IN input level using the AUX IN VOL
control.
