Starting Studio Manager
Windows: Click the Start button and then click Programs–>YAMAHA Studio Manager for
DM2000–>Studio Manager for DM2000.
Macintosh: Open the Studio Manager for DM2000 folder and double-click “SM_DM2K.”
If a DM2000 is detected while Studio Manager starts up, the Synchronization dialog box
appears, from which you can choose to transfer the settings of the DM2000 to Studio Manager or vice versa. See “Synchronizing Studio Manager” on page 3 for more information. If
no DM2000 is detected, a new Console window opens.
The ONLINE indicator is displayed while Studio Manager is connected to a
DM2000. When no DM2000 is detected, the OFFLINE indicator is displayed.
Note: This version of Studio Manager supports DM2000 System Software V1.10 or later. If used
with an earlier version, some functions (e.g., the Library Undo function) may not work properly.
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
Selecting Ports

on the Setup dialog box, as shown below.

ports (device names set in OMS Studio Setup) on the Setup dialog box, as shown below.

Synchronizing Studio Manager
If a DM2000 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 DM2000 to the current Stu-
dio Manager Session.
PC–>Console: Click this button to transfer the settings of current Studio Manager Session to the DM2000.
Cancel: Click this button to leave the DM2000 and current Studio Manager Session
unsynchronized.
Note: Do not operate the DM2000 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 DM2000 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, DM2000 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.
