Studio Manager Version 2 Installation Guide

3

Studio Manager is a cross-platform application that enables you to start multiple Editors that control YAMAHA 
hardware products remotely, and to save multiple Editor settings.
You can run Studio Manager as a stand-alone application, or as a plug-in within DAW (digital audio workstation)/
sequencer applications that are compatible with Total Recall, such as Cubase SX 3.0.1 or later. In either case, the 
basic functionality is the same. For the latest information on compatible DAW applications, refer to the following 
website.

The actual installation steps and the use of the software itself differs depending on the operating system that you 
are using. Please refer to the appropriate installation instructions.

For subsequent operations, refer to the PDF manual from the [HELP] menu in each software program.

Precautions when using the USB TO HOST connector

When connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST connector, make sure to observe the following points. Failing to do so 
risks freezing the computer and corrupting or even losing the data. If the computer or the instrument freezes, turn the power 
to the instrument off or restart the computer.

• Before connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST connector, exit from any power-saving mode 

(such as suspended, sleep, standby) of the computer.

• Before turning on the power to the instrument, connect the computer to the USB TO HOST connector.

• Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument on/off or plugging/unplugging the USB 

cable to/from the USB TO HOST connector.

- Quit any open applications.

- Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted only by playing 

notes on the keyboard or playing back a song.)

• While a USB device is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six seconds or more between 

these operations: (1) when turning the power of the instrument off then on again, or (2) when alternately 
connecting/disconnecting the USB cable.
