Setting Up

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.

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.
