Limitations on the PF-500 when using the File Utility

The accessory CD-ROM contains a File Utility program. By using this software, you can transfer files between the internal memory of the PF-500 and your computer, and edit them. There are some operating states of the PF-500 in which it is not possible to use the File Utility or in which some File Utility functions are not available.

You cannot use File Utility to perform file operations in the following states.

• Demo song mode

• Song recording/playback mode

• During ﬁle operations

• During the various [SONG SETTING] operations

The following operations cannot be performed while File Utility is running.

• File operations

• Song loading

• Track button on/off

The following operations cannot be performed on the PF-500.

• Changing the name of a protected song

(A “protected song” is song data such as a preset song that has been copied to the storage memory.)

• Changing the ﬁlename extension of a ﬁle

• Japanese display in the LCD screen

• Creating a folder

• Copying a folder from the computer to the storage memory

• Copying a ﬁle within the same folder

4 Click the [Find] button to search for the device.

When the search has succeeded, the OMS Driver Setting dialog box will display the following.

For a USB connection: USB-MIDI 1 For a serial connection: MIDI Time Piece-Modem (Printe_)

• If the device was found correctly, click the [OK] button to proceed.

• If the device was not found, re-check that the cable connections are correct, and repeat the procedure from step 1.

5 Make sure that the port is shown below the device that was

found. (In the case of the PF-500, this will be a name such as USB-MIDI, Modem, or Printer.) Check the check box for the port, and then click the [OK] button.

6 A dialog box will appear, allowing you to name the ﬁle that

will be saved. Input the desired ﬁlename, and click [Save]. This completes OMS setup.

7 From the “Studio” menu, choose “Test,” and click the port

icon. If a channel sounds on the PF-500, the system is operating correctly.

n If “ ” is not indicated at the right of the setup file name, select

“Make Current” from the “File” menu and execute the save operation.

The OMS studio setup has been completed.

n After the OMS studio setup above has been completed, your com-

puter will recognize only the PF-500 as a MIDI instrument. If you use another MIDI instrument in addition to the PF-500 or you add a second PF-500 to the existing system, you should create an original Studio Setup file. For details, refer to the on-line manual supplied with the OMS.

For details on using OMS, refer to OMS_2.3_Mac.pdf, included with OMS.

12 Accessory CD-ROM Installation Guide (PF-500)

Troubleshooting

The driver cannot be installed.

• Is the USB cable connected correctly?

→ Check the USB cable connection. → Disconnect the USB cable, then connect it again.

• [Windows] Is the USB function enabled on your computer? → When you connect the PF-500 to the computer for the ﬁrst

time, if the “Add New Hardware Wizard” does not appear, the USB function on the computer may be disabled. Perform the following steps.

1 Double-click “System” in the Control Panel to open the System

Properties window.

2 Double-click the “Device Manager” tab and make sure that no “!”

or “x” marks appear at “Universal serial bus controller” or “USB Root Hub.” If you see an “!” or “x” mark, the USB controller is disabled. For more information, refer to the owner’s manual of your computer.

• [Windows] Is any unknown device registered? → If driver installation fails, the PF-500 will be marked as an

“Unknown device,” and you will not be able to install the driver. Delete the “Unknown device” by following the steps below.

1 Double-click “System” in the Control Panel to open the System

Properties window.

2 Double-click the “Device Manager” tab. With the “View devices

by type” check box checked, look for “Other devices.”

3 If you ﬁnd “Other devices,” double-click it to extend the tree to

look for “Unknown device.” If one appears, select it and click the [Remove] button.

4 Remove the USB cable from the PF-500, and make the connection

again.

5 Install the driver again.

When controlling the PF-500 from your computer via USB, the PF-500 does not operate correctly or no sound is heard.

• Did you install the driver?

• If you are using a Macintosh, did you install OMS before installing

the USB MIDI driver?

• Is the USB cable connected correctly?

• Are the volume settings of the tone generator, playback device,

and application program set to the appropriate levels?

• Have you selected an appropriate port in the application software?

• Are you using the latest USB MIDI driver?

The latest driver can be downloaded from the www.yamahasynth.com Web site.

• Is the HOST SELECT switch set correctly?

Cannot suspend or resume the computer correctly.

• Do not suspend the computer while the MIDI application is running.

• If you are using Windows 2000, you may not be able to suspend/ resume normally, depending on the particular environment (USB Host Controller, etc.). Even so, simply disconnecting and connecting the USB cable will allow you to use the PF-500 functions again.

How can I delete or re-install the driver?

[Windows Me/98]

1 When the PF-500 is recognized correctly, double-click “System”

in the Control Panel to open the System window.

2 Double-click the “Device Manager” tab, select “YAMAHA USB

MIDI Driver” and delete it.

3 Use the MS-DOS prompt or Explorer to delete the following three

ﬁles.

n To delete these files using Explorer, select “Fol Options” from

the Tool (View) menu, and select “Show all files (and folders).”
