Introduction
Thank you for downloading the Wireless DCP app for Yamaha Matrix Processor MTX-series.
Wireless DCP allows these processors to be controlled remotely using smart devices such as the
iPhone. In specific terms, it has been designed to allow users to control volumes and presets on
MTX processors via a simple, intuitive graphical interface from anywhere within wireless
range.
The latest version of the firmware for MTX-series products can be downloaded from the follow-
ing web site.

1. System Requirements
• Smart device
The following Apple devices (running iOS5 or later)
• iPhone (iPhone 3GS or later)
•iPad
• iPod touch (3
• Yamaha Matrix Processor MTX-series
• Wi-Fi access point (preferably with 802.11n, 5-GHz capability)
• Cat 5e cable (for connecting MTX processor and Wi-Fi access point)
rd
generation or later)
2. Getting Started
Set up your Wi-Fi access point as described in the manual that came with it. While no special settings
are needed, we do recommend using WPA security or the like in order to prevent unwanted devices
from joining the network. Less experienced Wi-Fi users may benefit from the following suggestions.
1. Assign a name to your wireless network.
2. Activate a security mode (such as WPA2) and set a password.
3. Select a wireless mode such as 802.11n or 802.11g.
4. If available, enable Auto Channel Selection so that the wireless channel with the lowest level
of interference will be automatically selected.
We recommend using 802.11n networks as they support faster communication between smart devices
and Wi-Fi access points. We also recommend using Wi-Fi access points with multiple external antennae as this makes it easier to connect to the network. For increased security, meanwhile, we recommend using a stealth mode or MAC address filtering.

3. Configuration
1. Verify that settings have been made for IP
Address, Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS.
2. Press the Home button to complete the network
setting process.
1. IP Address: For the first three numbers, use those
from the MTX processor’s IP address. Set a different value for the fourth number.
2. Subnet Mask: Enter “255.255.255.0”.
3. Router: Enter the IP address of the router or Wi-Fi
access point to be used.
4. Enter the IP address of the DNS or Wi-Fi access
point to be used.
5. Press the Home button to complete the network
setting process.
5. Configure your network as follows. (Use Procedure 5-1 if the network assigns IP addresses automatically; use Procedure 5-2 if not.)
5-1. Select DHCP if the network’s DHCP
server automatically determines IP
addresses.
5-2. Select Static if you need to manually
set an IP address.

3. Configuration
1. All of the devices to be connected—that is, the MTX processor, the Wi-Fi access point, the smart device, and
the computer running MTX Editor—must have IP addresses from the same network (or subnet). If, for example, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the MTX processor’s IP address is 192.168.0.1, the smart device
should have an IP address in the form of 192.168.0.xx.
Good combination of settings
Router with integrated Wi-Fi*
and DNS
MTX processor 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.1
Smart device 192.168.0.101 192.168.11.50
Computer 192.168.0.253 192.168.0.253
*: If using a Wi-Fi access point that is not also a router, set the IP address for accessing it.
2. If the Wi-Fi access point’s DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses, be sure that any IP addresses set
statically for other devices are not duplicated. We recommend that you check the setting for the range of IP
192.168.0.100 192.168.11.1
Incorrect combination of
settings
addresses that can be assigned automatically.
Meanwhile, if the Wi-Fi access point’s default IP subnet is not the same as that of the MTX processor, an incorrect combination of settings (similar to that shown in 1. above) will result and normal operation will not be possible. Because the IP subnet automatically assigned to the smart device in such a case will also differ from that
of the MTX processor, it will not be possible to connect.
3. Two smart devices running Wireless DCP can be connected to each MTX processor. (However, only one
device can be logged into by an administrator password.)
4. Connect the MTX processor to the LAN connector of the Wi-Fi access point.
If you connect to a WAN (Internet) connector, the smart device will not be able to communicate properly with
the MTX processor.

MTX processors available for connection are displayed here. When you select one, the Enter
Password screen will be displayed.
DEMO button
Tap DEMO on this screen to activate Offline Demo
mode. In this mode, you can try out Wireless DCP
functions and the user interface without performing any actual operations on the MTX processor.
Tap the Wireless DCP app to launch it. The Select Device screen will be displayed.
3. Configuration
If you launch Wireless DCP with Auto-connect mode active, the app will automatically reconnect to
the MTX processor it was most recently used with. You can use the Auto-connect switch to modify
this setting. Refer to Section 3.3.3 Entering a Password for details.
