Going on-line for the fi rst time; Studio Manager, PM5DV2
Editor and PM5D.
If you have already been using Studio Manager and PM5D Editor off line then all you need to go on line is to add a
USB connection cable and the USB-MIDI driver. Current drivers for PC and Mac can be obtained from www.yamah-
aproaudio.com. You can check to see if the USB driver is installed already by looking in the Control Panel of your PC
or System Preferences on your Mac. There is no need to click on the driver, it is activated by connecting the PM5D. If
you click on it, it will simply open a dialogue box saying no mixer is connected. For DSP5D you need DME-N network
Driver installed. The default IP address for DSP5D is 192.168.0.129.
After downloading the driver follow the instructions to unzip the driver and install. With a PC connect the PM5D and a
“Found New Hardware” wizard will pop up and help you install the driver just in the same way if you connected a new
USB printer or other offi ce peripheral. With Mac just double click the icon and follow the loading instructions. Full
instructions for both OS are available from the download site.
With Windows XP the driver is associated with a particular USB port, this requires the driver to be re-installed if a dif-
ferent port is used, and so it is recommended to always connect with the same USB port, but Vista and Mac computers
don’t have this limitation.
PM5D Mixer settings
On the mixer surface you need to choose the port that the
mixer will expect Studio Manager signals to control it
from. Press MIDI/REMOTE key in display access section
and press until MIDI Setup tab is available. In the bottom
right corner of the screen see the PM5DV2 EDITOR box.
Select USB and leave the other boxes to show 1-1.
Now you are ready to go on-line with PM5D. If Studio Manager is already open, save your work, close it down and
reopen it. Studio Manager only looks for the console when it opens so if you connect your cable after the programme is
open it will not go on-line. Similarly if you are on-line and you disconnect and re-connect the cable on-line status will
not be restored.
