PM1D System Software V1.5 Supplementary Manual
This manual explains the functionality that has been added or changed in PM1D system software V1.5. Please refer to the original manual in conjunction with this manual.
*In cases where the display of the console (CS1D) differs from the screen of the PM1D Manager application program,
explanations that apply only to PM1D Manager are indicated as [PM1D Manager].
Additions/changes in V1.5
This section briefly summarizes the additions and changes in PM1D system software V1.5. For details on each function, refer to the appropriate page.
Changes to the constantly-displayed screen
Major changes have been made to the items that are always shown in the top and bottom of the screen (
p.6).
New DUAL CONSOLE mode
As an operation mode of the PM1D system, a DUAL CONSOLE mode has been added, allowing two con­soles to be used with one system (
Cascade connection
Tw o systems can now be cascade-connected. A cas­cade-connected system can send any bus output to the same bus of the other system (
GPI connector is now enabled
The D-sub 25 pin GPI connector provided on the console and engine can now be used to input/output eight channels of control signals (
REMOTE connector is now enabled
The D-sub 9-pin REMOTE connector of the console and engine can now be used to control a recorder or other device (
Fader Start function
You can now specify that various commands be transmitted from an assigned connector when the level of a specified channel is raised above –60 dB or lowered to –
Tap tempo function
A “tap tempo” function has been added, allowing you to manually set the TEMPO parameter of an internal effect by tapping an external switch con­nected to the GPI connector (
Expanded USER DEFINE functions
In conjunction with the addition of various func­tionality, the user-definable functions have been sig­nificantly expanded (
dB (
p.35).
p.42).
p.52).
p.51).
p.11).
p.27).
p.35).
Input channel panel assignment can now be selected
The input channels assigned to INPUT blocks 1–4 of the console can now be freely specified in blocks of twelve consecutive channels. Similarly, the ST IN channels assigned to ST IN blocks 1–2 can also be assigned in blocks of two adjacent channels ( Also, the DISPLAY SELECT section of the TRACK­ING RECALL screen now has an INPUT [PANEL] button that causes the current panel assignment state to be displayed in the screen.
New pairing mode
In addition to the existing pairing mode in which adjacent input channels 1+2, 3+4, ... can be paired, you can now use “vertical pairing mode” in which input channels 1+49, 2+50 ... are paired. This mode allows you to use a single fader as if it were a stereo fader (
p.56).
Mix minus setting
A MIX MINUS button has been added to the CH to MIX screen of the PAN/ROUTING function. This button provides a simple way to subtract only a spe­cific channel from the signal that is being sent to a certain MIX bus. This is useful when a performer or announcer wishes to monitor the sound without his own voice (
Job select
Now you can move the cursor to a parameter and press the [SHIFT] + [ENTER] keys to access a popup-menu that lists the jobs available for that parameter. The cursor will turn yellow to indicate parameters for which you can use this function (
p.61).
Auto Store function
When storing a scene, you can now use an “Auto Store function” that automatically selects the unit, patch, or name library number and title (
Global Paste function
Using the new “Global Paste function,” the settings of any channel or parameter in the current scene can be copied and pasted to one or more scenes in scene memory. This is a convenient way by which changes in the current scene can be applied to previously­stored scenes (
p.58).
p.66).
p.64).
p.52).
Operate parameters via control changes
Now you can use MIDI control changes to remotely control PM1D parameters from an external device, or transmit console operations as control changes (
p.71).
Manual fading
A new “Manual Fading” function has been added. When recalling a scene for which a fade time has been set, you can now use the [DATA] encoder to fade in the positive or negative direction. This is con­venient when you want to vary the volume in con­junction with action on stage (
Unit name
You can now assign a unit name to each port of an input/output unit or card. If necessary, the unit name of each port can be displayed in the field in which the short name of an input channel was shown in the screen (
p.79).
p.76).
Additions/changes in V1.5
Additional functions in the PREFER­ENCE screen
A variety of setting items have been added in the PREFERENCE screen (
Channel selection can now be sepa-
p.92).
rately specified for the AUTO DISPLAY function (SELECTED CH ON/OFF but­ton)
One of the AUTO DISPLAY functions automatically moves the cursor to the corresponding parameter when you switch the channel that is being operated.
In the PREFERENCE screen AUTO DISPLAY sec­tion, this function can now be switched on/off inde­pendently of the other AUTO DISPLAY items (
p.92).
Matrix send shortcut
The send level from a MIX channel or STEREO A/B channel to a MATRIX channel can now be controlled from a panel encoder (
DCA mute indicator
When you mute a DCA group, the [ASSIGN DCA] LED of the channels associated with that DCA can now be made to blink if desired. This is convenient when you want to know which channels are actually being muted (
Improved oscillator
The oscillator now lets you use two sine waves simul­taneously. You can specify the frequency and level for each, and output them independently to odd-num­bered / even-numbered channels (→p.86).
Improvements in the INPUT PATCH /
p.85).
p.82).
OUTPUT PATCH screens
The unit name of each port is now displayed in the UNIT PATCH / OUTPUT PATCH screens. Vertical and horizontal red lines can also indicate the cur­rently selected grid (
USB connection to a PC
In addition to the serial connection supported on earlier versions, you can now use a USB connection to connect the PM1D to a PC (
p.89).
p.89).
Improved operation in the CH to MIX and MATRIX/ST ROUTING screens
Cursor movement now follows scrolling in the CH to MIX function of the PAN/ROUTING function and in the MATRIX/ST ROUTING screen of the MATRIX/ST function (
ON/OFF button added to COMM IN
The COMM IN function can now be turned ON/ OFF independently (
p.90).
p.91).

DUAL CONSOLE mode added
DUAL CONSOLE mode added
As an operation mode of the PM1D system, version 1.5 adds Dual Console mode, in which two console are used by one system. The functionality and operation of Dual Console mode is explained below. In the following explanation, functions and operations that apply only to console 1 are indicated as [Console 1], and functions and operations that apply only to console 2 as [Console 2].
If the console (CS1D) you are using was manufactured before June 2002, you may be unable to select Dual Console mode even if connections are correct. In this case, you will need to have a gate array rewritten in order to use Dual Console mode. Please contact your Yamaha dealer. It is necessary to have the gate array rewritten only if you wish to use Dual Console mode. If you are using the sys­tem in other modes, rewriting is not necessary, and you may continue using the system without change.
About Dual Console mode
Dual Console mode is a mode in which two consoles (CS1D) are used in a single PM1D system. In this mode, two consoles share one (in standard mode) or two (in mirror mode) engines (DSP1D-EX {DSP1D}). Here are some examples of how Dual Console mode can be used:
Use two consoles to control the main mix and mon-
itor mix
In this application, the same input channels are patched to the panels of both consoles. One engineer controls the main mix, and another engineer con­trols the monitor mix.
Use two consoles to control the same mix from two
locations
In this application, two consoles are placed in sepa­rate locations (for example one near the stage and the other in the audience seating), and two engineers control the same mix.
Use two consoles to control 96 channels simulta-
neously
In this application, input channels 1–48 are patched to one console, and input channels 49–96 to the other console, allowing one or more engineers to control 96 channels simultaneously.
In Dual Console mode, the console that is connected to the engine will operate as the master unit, and the other console will operate as the slave unit. However, in order to avoid confusion with the master/slave relationship in “engine cascade” (described later in this document), we refer to the master unit as “con­sole 1,” and the slave unit as “console 2.”
Console 1 and console 2 differ in the functions they can control, and in the order of priority when operations overlap. The differences between consoles 1 and 2 can be summarized as follows.
Items that are linked between consoles 1 and 2
In general, changes that you make to the mix param­eters in the current scene are linked between consoles 1 and 2. (An operation on one console will be reflected by the other.) Operations of console 2 will not nullify operations of console 1. Even if differ­ences occur between the states of console 1 and con­sole 2, the engine will always be set according to console 1. If a difference occurs between parameters that should be linked, you can select whether to copy all scenes and all libraries when connection occurs, or to copy them as desired after connection.
Items that are operated independently between
consoles 1 and 2
Channel selections by the [SEL] switches, changes in panel layout such as fader flip or module flip, and screen switching by the function switches are not linked between consoles. These operations can be made independently on each console.
Items that can be operated only by console 1
Most operations that affect the core of the system, such as switching between engines, switching the word clock master, and changing the connections between components, can be performed only by con­sole 1. The settings of most items can be viewed on the console 2 screen, but cannot be modified.
PC connection
A PC (PM1D Manager) can be connected only to console 1 or to the engine. It cannot be connected to console 2. Nor is it possible to connect and use two or more PCs simultaneously.
Whether a parameter is linked when operated, and the priority between consoles 1 and 2, will differ depending on the screen. The table on the following page summarizes the operation of each screen in Dual Console mode.

About scene/library memories
When a scene or library is stored or recalled on one con­sole, the other will follow this operation. However, this simply means that a command of “recall scene number ***.*” is transmitted to the other console; the result of the store/recall is not conveyed to the other console.
Thus, in order to completely synchronize the two con-
soles, it is necessary to match the current memory (the scene, patch, units, names currently shown in the panel), the scene memories and libraries that are used, and some of the setup data.
If this data does not match, scene/library recall opera­tions may cause the settings of the current scene to become completely different between the two consoles.
Data can be synchronized between the two consoles in the following ways.
Tr ansfer all data
In this method, all data is transmitted via the CON­TROL I/O connector from console 1 to console 2. You can perform this operation in a single step when you initiate Dual Console mode.
Tr ansfer only necessary data
In this method, only the scenes and libraries that will be used are manually transmitted from console 1 to console 2.
Tr ansfer all data via memory card
In this method, all data of console 1 is saved on a memory card, and this data is then loaded into con­sole 2. To use this method, use the LOAD/SAVE screen of console 1 to save all data on a memory card, then insert that card into console 2 and load the data. (For details, refer to “CS1D Reference Manual (Soft­ware),” p.40.)

About the console shutdown function
A Shutdown function has been added to keep current memory from being modified in Dual Console mode. In Dual Console mode, powering-off either console may modify the current memory of the other console or the engine, but by shutting-down the console before powering it off, you can prevent current memory from being modified. For the procedure, refer to page 26.
This shutdown function is necessary only in Dual Console mode. If you are not operating in Dual Console mode,
the SHUTDOWN button (p.26) will not be displayed.
If you power-off the console without performing this procedure as described, the current memory used by the
other console or the engine may be modified. However, settings other than current memory (i.e., scene memory, the various setup memories and libraries) will not be affected. Thus, if you have stored the current memory to a scene, you can re-recall that scene to recover from an accidental power-off that occurred without performing the shutdown.
DUAL CONSOLE screen
PM1D system software V1.5 adds a DUAL CONSOLE screen to the SYS/W.CLOCK function. In this screen you can make settings and perform operations for Dual Console mode.

Indicates the current operation mode and cascade mode of the PM1D system. Click the button to open the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION popup win­dow, where you can switch the operation mode and cascade mode.
Hint
The SYSTEM CONFIGURATION field is displayed in the SYS/W.CLOCK function SYSTEM CONNEC­TION screen, DUAL CONSOLE screen, and CAS­CADE screen (newly added in version 1.5). All of these represent the same setting.

2 DUAL CONSOLE LINK (DUAL CONSOLE mode
link settings)
Here you can select whether cue operation and talk­back-controlled dimmer operation will be linked.
If the CUE ON/OFF LINK button is on, operations of the [CUE] switches, EFFECT CUE, SUB IN CUE, and gate KEY IN CUE will be linked.
If the TALKBACK DIMMER ON/OFF LINK button is on, turning talkback on from one console will attenuate the monitor signal on the other console as well.
Note that the TALKBACK DIMMER ON/OFF LINK button links the dimmer operation; it does not link talkback on/off operation. The amount of attenuation when the dimmer is on can be adjusted independently in the MONITOR A screen of each console.

3 UPDATE
Each time you click this button, the current memory, scene memories/libraries, and setup data will be compared between console 1 and console 2, and the ALL DATA STATUS (4) display will be updated.
4 ALL DATA STATUS
This area displays the result of comparing the data of console 1 and 2. If all data is identical, this will indi­cate “SAME.” If there is any difference, this will indi­cate “DIFF.”
5 Scene memories / libraries
This area displays the result of comparing each scene memory and library. You can click the buttons at the left to select the items that will be displayed in the library data list (7).
6 CURRENT MEMORY (Current memory status)
This indicates the result of comparing the current memory (the scene currently reflected by the panel, patches, units, and names). If these are all identical for consoles 1 and 2, this will indicate “SAME.” If there are any differences, this will indicate “DIFF.” If you click the COPY button located in the cen­ter, the current memory will be copied from console 1 to console 2.

7 Scene memory / library data list
This displays the scene memory / library data that is selected by the scene memory / library status (5) buttons.
The ALL field at the top of the list will indicate “SAME” if all data matches, or “DIFF” if there is any difference. If you click the COPY button located in the center, the entire contents of the selected scene memory or library will be copied from console 1 to console 2.
The lower lines of the list show the contents of the selected scene memories / libraries for each console. If the contents of each number match, this will indi­cate “SAME.” If they differ, this will indicate “DIFF.” Only while a scene memory is displayed in the list, clicking the COPY button located in the cen­ter will copy the contents of that scene memory from console 1 to console 2.
