Connections

Connecting the Power Supply

A special power source adaptor supplies power

to the DTXPLORER.

Make sure the power is switched OFF and connect the supplied
power adaptor to the DC IN jack on the rear panel.
To prevent the cord from becoming unplugged, wrap the cord
around the cord hook and secure.

WARNING

Please use the supplied power adaptor. The use of

any other power source may cause irregular opera-

tion or damage to the device.

Also, when the DTXPLORER is not to be used for a

long period of time, please unplug the power adaptor.

Before switching the power ON.

• To protect the speakers, headphones and the

DTXPLORER from damage, fully rotate the POWER/
VOL knob to the left (minimum volume) before
switching the power ON.

• Make sure the power is switched OFF on all exter-

nal devices connected to the DTXPLORER. After
the DTXPLORER’s power is switched ON, switch
the other device’s power ON.

MIDI OUT Jack

The DTXPLORER’s MIDI function lets you play voices on an
external tone generator with the DTXPLORER’s pads, or synchro-
nize the DTXPLORER’s song or metronome playback with the
playback of an external sequencer.

About MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world standard that

provides a means to connect instruments and computers and allow

them to transmit and receive performance and other data. This stan-

dard allows computers and instruments of different makers and types

to communicate.

Always use a standard MIDI cable when connecting de-
vices. Also, use a MIDI cable that is not more than 15m in
length. Using a longer cable may result in irregular opera-
tion and other problems.

WARNING

Make sure that the power adaptor’s cord is not bent

at an acute angle when wrapping the cord onto the

hook. Such a situation can result in a damaged power

cord or fire.
