The TX-6 can function as a USB audio interface when connected to a computer, tablet, or phone via its USB-C port. It appears as a class-compliant audio device, so no drivers are needed on most systems.

Connecting the TX-6

  1. 1.Power on the TX-6.
  2. 2.Connect the included USB-C cable between the TX-6 and your computer or device.
  3. 3.Select the TX-6 as your audio input and output device in your computer's sound settings or DAW.

Audio routing

The TX-6 sends its main mix output to the computer over USB, and receives audio back from the computer which can be routed into the mix. Each of the six channels can also send and receive audio individually over USB, making it useful for multitrack recording or playback from a DAW.

USB synth mode

The TX-6 also supports a USB synth mode, which allows it to receive MIDI over USB. This lets you play the built-in synth engine from a connected device or DAW using standard MIDI note messages.

Things to keep in mind

  • Use only 5V USB power to avoid damaging the unit.
  • The USB connection handles both audio and MIDI simultaneously.
  • If you experience ground hum, the TX-6 includes a GND (USB ground isolation) setting in the system menu to help reduce noise from the USB connection.
