1 Getting Started

Starting Studio Manager

Windows: Click the Start button and then click Programs–>YAMAHA Studio Manager for 02R96–>Studio Manager for 02R96.
Macintosh: Open the Studio Manager for 02R96 folder and double-click “SM_02R96.”
If a 02R96 is detected while Studio Manager starts up, the Synchronization dialog box appears, from which you can choose to transfer the settings of the 02R96 to Studio Manager or vice versa. See “Synchronizing Studio Manager” on page 3 for more information. If no 02R96 is detected, a new Console window opens.
The ONLINE indicator is displayed while Studio Manager is connected to a 02R96. When no 02R96 is detected, the OFFLINE indicator is displayed.

Quitting Studio Manager

Choose Exit (Quit on the Macintosh) from the File menu.
If there are no unsaved changes, all windows close and Studio Manager quits. If there are unsaved changes, a message asking if you want to save the changes appears. Click Yes to save the changes and quit, click No to quit, or click Cancel to cancel the operation. Studio Man­ager can also be quit by clicking the Console window’s Close button.
Configuring Studio Manager

Console Device ID: Studio Manager can control any one of up to eight 02R96s, each with its own exclusive ID. Select the ID of the 02R96 that you want to control.
Channel Select: These options determine whether or not channel selection is linked. When the PC–>Console option is on, selecting a channel on Studio Manager selects the same channel on the 02R96.

Synchronizing Studio Manager

If a 02R96 is detected while Studio Manager starts up, or while Studio Manager is up and running, the Synchronization dialog box shown below appears.
All Lib: This option determines whether or not Scene and Library data is synchronized.
Console–>PC: Click this button to transfer the settings of the 02R96 to the current Studio
Manager Session.
PC–>Console: Click this button to transfer the settings of current Studio Manager Ses­sion to the 02R96.
Cancel: Click this button to leave the 02R96 and current Studio Manager Session unsyn­chronized.
Note: Do not operate the 02R96 while synchronization is in progress.
You can resynchronize the system at any time by choosing Re-synchronize from the Syn­chronization menu.

Working with Sessions

A Studio Manager Session consists of all 02R96 mix settings, including Scene and library data.
To create a new Session, choose New Session from the File menu.
To open a previously saved Session, choose Open Session from the File menu.
To save the current Session, choose Save Session from the File menu.
To save the current Session with a new name, choose Save Session as from the File menu.
Note: In order to save the current Automix, or the settings of an optional Y56K card, in a Ses­sion, you must resynchronize Studio Manager beforehand (Console–>PC).
Note: In order to protect the communication port used by Studio Manager, 02R96 communi­cation settings (e.g., MIDI, Remote Layer, Machine Control) are not affected by PC–>Console synchronization operations.
Only one Session can be open at a time, so when you create a new Session, or open a previ­ously saved Session, the message “This operation will purge the current session” appears. If there are no unsaved changes, or you do not want to save, click OK. If Studio Manager is offline, the Session is loaded. If Studio Manager is online, the Session is loaded and the syn­chronization dialog box appears.
