Fastrack VS and the Yamaha 03D Audio Mixer
Interconnect Cable
An interconnect cable can be constructed using a PS-2 mouse/keyboard plug and wire and a Serial RS-
422 female connector. This cable connects between the HOST port on the Yamaha O3D and a serial
(male-male) cable attached to the Fastrack serial breakout (or use a male connector if your cable is long
enough to reach the Fastrack serial breakout).
Since the numbering on PS-2 connectors varies or is frequently missing, please refer to the
letter
positions noted here for the PS-2 plug (the 9-pin conforms to standards). Both 9-pin connector and
PS-2 plug are viewed from the "front."
Mixer Setup
ESAM II protocol is an option to the 03D Mixer and needs to be installed at the Yamaha factory or
customer installed using a serial terminal. Consult with your Yamaha representative.
1. Connect the serial control cable from a Fastrack VS "COM" port to the 6-pin “
TO HOST
” serial
port on the rear of the 03D console.
2. At the 03D control panel “
SETUP
” section (top, left of the mixer), press the
[UTILITY]
button
until the “
MIDI / HOST
” tab is selected.
