Remote Control over EtherSound via YGDAI Midi  

 

The AVY16-ES100 provides a local YGDAI midi interface to its host console which can be 
remotely link to a build-in ESMonitor midi driver. 
 

Today, the local YGDAI midi interface is working on the following Yamaha devices: 
DM2000, DM1000, 02R96, 01V96. 

 

 

Before using remote control over EtherSound few conditions must be respected: 

  

1.

 

The host console must been set

1

 properly to be controlled via a slot where an 

AVY16-ES100 has been connected to.  

 
2.

 

The midi parameters in EtherSound control panel must be set

2

3.

 

The specific application

3

 which manages your digital console such as Yamaha 

Studio manager must be installed first. 

 
If the 2 first conditions are respected, ESMonitor will display the console name in the field 

“AVY16-ES100 hosted by” and a button “Launch Manager” appears on the control page 
for the AVY16-ES100. This means that the AVY16-ES100 selected is in the slot defined by 

the console to be the “midi to host” and that you can remotely control the console.  
 
ESMonitor will display “Not configured” for an AVY16-ES100 if the YGDAI slot in which 

the AVY16-ES100 is put, does not support midi interface or has not been defined in the 
host console to be “midi to host”.  

 
Notice: Even if a console could accept multi AVY16-ES100, only one AVY16-ES100 can 

be defined to control the console 
 

If ESMonitor displays a button “Launch Manager” on the control page, you can click on it 
to launch the Yamaha application which will remotely control the host device.  
 

If it is the first time, ESMonitor will ask you to provide the link to the application (i.e. the 
access to the Yamaha application software such as Studio Manager).
