Quick Start guide to setting up DTXMania

Connect your PC to your electronic drumset
1) You will need a MIDI to USB converter such as the Yamaha UX16.
2) Install the latest drivers for the converter (especially if you are running Windows Vista)
3) Plug the MIDI-In cable in your converter to the MIDI-Out hole in your drum module. Hook up the other end to the USB slot of your computer.

Connect your PC to a Guitarfreaks or Guitar Hero controller
1) You will need a converter depending on the type of controller. e.g. A PS2 GH controller will need a PS2 to USB converter.
2) Hook up your guitar to the converter, and check to see if it works under Control Panel > Game controllers.

Install DTXMania
1) Download DTXMania from the official site. Version 067b is the latest recommended stable version.
2) Download some simfiles and unzip them inside your DTXMania directory.
3) Load up DTXMania and see if your drums work.

Set your Drum and Guitar Key config in DTXMania
