1.2 Wiring
To connect controllers in a daisy chain, the YAMAHA-specified daisy chain connection cables must be used.
The number of connection cables required is the number of controllers to be connected minus one.
Also a computer with the TS-Manager software installed and one communication cable for connecting the
computer with the controller are required.
The following describes how to connect with your personal computer and how to make daisy chain connections.
