CHAPTER I: SETTING UP

1.Audio Outputs

2.Optional Foot Switch

3.Optional BC-1 Breath Con troller

4.Headphones

5.MIDI Terminals

6. Cassette

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 received 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:

RED

cassette deck microphone input.

WHITE

cassette deck earphone output.

BLACK

cassette deck remote input (where applicable)

7.Battery, AC Power Adaptor

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.
