1 Setup
Intended use
The DT-RDX is intended to create new sounds for your synthesizer.
The second edition DT-RDX has a new hardware controlled MIDI merger.
This makes it possible to play your connected Synth over MIDI when the
DT-RDX is attached in a reliable way.
What is included
Please ensure that your DT-RTX includes the following:
• DT-RTX v2 Programmer (in the main box)
• Mini Din Male-Male MIDI Cable (in the second box)
• Dual Male to Female Y Power Cable (in the second box)
Installation
Installation of the programmer onto the REFACE is simple and requires no
tools.
Carefully align the 4 little pins of the DT-RTX with the holes under the
reface body and slot them together with gentle pressure.
Be advised: the programmer and controller are loosely connected and
can easily come apart.
