19 Other functions Connecting the PM5D to your computer via USB The PM5D Editor application can be installed in a computer and used to control the PM5D's parameters or to backup and restore the contents of the PM5D's memory. Here we will explain the operations required in order to establish a USB connection between the PM5D and a computer. Note The following procedure assumes that the PM5D Editor program and USB-MIDI driver have already been correctly installed in the computer. Before you continue, download the program and driver from the Yamaha website and install them. http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ 1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [MIDI/REMOTE] key until the MIDI SETUP screen appears. MIDI SETUP Note Set the USB port number and PM5D ID number to match the settings in the PM5D Editor. For details, refer to the PM5D Editor owner's manual. 3 Start up PM5D Editor on the computer, and use a USB cable to connect the computer to the PM5D. This enables communication between the computer and the PM5D. For details on operation, refer to the PM5D Editor owner's manual. Note • If you disconnect or reconnect the USB cable, or powercycle the PM5D, you must close the PM5D Editor and shut down the computer. In some cases, it may not be possible to reconnect with the PM5D until the computer is restarted. • Use a USB cable no longer than 3 meters. Also, connect the PM5D directly to the USB connector of the computer; do not use a USB hub. PM5D EDITOR area 2 In the PM5D EDITOR area at the lower right of the screen, select the port to which the computer is connected, and select the PM5D's ID number. First use the PORT field to select the port that will be used to communicate with the computer. Click the / buttons located at the left and right of the left box to select the type of port, and press the [ENTER] key (or click inside the box) to finalize your selection. If you select USB or SLOT 1-4, use the box at the right to select a port number 1-8. Next, use the ID field to select an ID number in the range of 1-8 for the PM5D that you want to control. (This number is used to distinguish individual PM5D units when multiple units are being used together.) Caution when using the USB TO HOST connector You must observe the following points when connecting the PM5D to your computer via the USB TO HOST connector. If you fail to observe these points, your computer or the PM5D may stop operating ("hang up"), causing data to be corrupted or lost. If the computer or the PM5D stops working, turn the power off and then on again, and restart the computer. • Before connecting the computer via the USB TO HOST connector, disable the power management mode (suspend/sleep/standby/hibernate) on your computer. • Connect the USB TO HOST connector to the computer before you power-on the PM5D. • Close all application programs (such as PM5D Editor) before turning the PM5D's power on or off, or connecting or disconnecting the USB cable. • Leave an interval of at least three seconds between powering the PM5D on and off, or between disconnecting and connecting the USB cable. 158 PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner's Manual Operating section
