WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/Power cord

• Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the device. The required voltage is

printed on the name plate of the device.

• Use only the speciﬁed power supply (PW800W or an equivalent recommended

by Yamaha).

• (DSP5D only) Use only the included power cord.

If you intend to use the device in an area other than in the one you purchased, the included power cord may not be compatible. Please check with your Yamaha dealer.

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and

do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

• (DSP5D only) Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective

grounding connection. Improper grounding can result in electrical shock.

Do not open

• Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify

them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION

Water warning

• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

If you notice any abnormality

• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the device, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• If this device or power supply should be dropped or damaged, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/Power cord

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

•Turn the PM5D ON/OFF using only the power supply PW800W POWER switch. Turning the PM5D ON/OFF by plugging or unplugging the power cord, using a switch on a power tap, a breaker switch, or similar external means can result in damage.

Location

• When transporting or moving the device, always use four or more people (PM5D), two or more people (DSP5D). Attempting to lift the device by yourself may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage to the device itself.

• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

• When setting up the DSP5D, make sure that the front-panel power switch can be easily turned ON/OFF. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.

• If the DSP5D is to be mounted in an EIA-standard rack, leave the back of the rack open and make sure that it is at least 10 cm away from walls or surfaces. Also, if the DSP5D is to be mounted with devices that tend to generate heat, such as power ampliﬁers, be sure to keep an adequate gap between the DSP5D and the heat-generating devices or install ventilation panels to prevent high temperatures from developing inside the DSP5D. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even ﬁre.

• Do not use the DSP5D in a conﬁned, poorly-ventilated location. If the DSP5D is to be used in a small space other than an EIA-standard rack, make sure that there is adequate space between the DSP5D and surrounding walls or other devices: at least 10 cm behind and 10 cm above. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even ﬁre.

PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner’s Manual

•Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their maximum. Depending on the condition of the connected devices, doing so may cause feedback and may damage the speakers.

• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to the internal components.

• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the front and rear to prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular, do not place the device on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even ﬁre.

• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, both in the device itself and in the TV or radio next to it.

Connections

• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to minimum.

Handling caution

• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the power ampliﬁer LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, the power ampliﬁer should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.

• Do not insert your ﬁngers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device (vents, etc.).

•Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device (vents, etc.) If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• (PM5D only) Do not apply oil, grease, or contact cleaner to the faders. Doing so may cause problems with electrical contact or fader motion.

• Do not use the headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and avoid use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

Backup battery

• This device has a built-in backup battery. When you unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, the internal data of current scene is retained. However, if the backup battery fully discharges, this data will be lost. When the backup battery is running low in the system using PM5D or PM5D/DSP5D Editor, each LCD display indicates “Low Battery!” during operation or “NO BATTERY!” when starting up the system (the BATTERY ﬁeld also indicates “LOW” or “NO BATTERY” in the PREFERENCE2 screen). When using only the DSP5D, the message such as “Low Battery!” cannot be displayed because the DSP5D itself has no LCD display. When the DSP5D is cascade-connected to the PM5D or online with the DSP5D Editor, these messages will be displayed. In this case, have qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery.

XLR-type connectors are wired as follows (IEC60268 standard): pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (-).

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modiﬁcations to the device, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.

The performance of components with moving contacts, such as switches, volume controls, and connectors, deteriorates over time. Consult qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel about replacing defective components.

Operating section

1 Introduction

Thank you

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha PM5D digital mixing console and/or Yamaha DSP5D digital mixing system. In order to take full advantage of the PM5D/DSP5D’s superior functionality and enjoy years of trouble-free use, please read this manual before you begin using the product. After you have read the manual, keep it in a safe place.

An overview of the PM5D system

The PM5D is an expandable digital mixing console with the following features.

❏ Full digital SR mixing system

The PM5D is a full-digital SR mixing console that takes advantage of cutting-edge digital audio processing technology. 24-bit linear AD/DA converters are used to deliver up to 110 dB of dynamic range and amazing sound quality. As input channels, it provides 48 monaural channels, four stereo channels, and four stereo channels for effect return. As output channels, it provides 24 MIX channels, eight MATRIX channels, and two STEREO channels. The PM5D can be used in a wide range of applications. You can assign desired channels to be controlled by the eight DCA faders on the panel, and use them as group faders.

❏ PM5D model and PM5D-RH model

In addition to the standard PM5D model that provides manual control of the head amp for each input, the PM5D-RH model is also available, providing programmable control of head amp input sensitivity and phantom power settings. You can choose the model appropriate for your situation and budget.

❏ Cutting-edge user interface

For the input channels and STEREO A/B channels, dedicated channel strips are provided where you can operate the fader, pan, cue, and on/off controls. For MIX channels and MATRIX channels, encoders allow you to control the send level and master level. The PM5D allows quick and intuitive operation just as on an analog mixer. In addition, you can use the SELECTED CHANNEL section to manually control the principal parameters (delay, EQ, gate, compressor) of the desired channel.

❏ Eight effect modules / Twelve graphic

EQ modules

Eight high-quality multi-effect modules are built in. Effects such as reverb, delay, multiband compressor, and various modulation effects can be routed via internal buses or inserted into the desired channel. 31-band graphic EQ (alternatively, 8-band parametric EQ) can also be inserted into any channel or any output.

❏ Add-On effects provided as standard

As effect types, the channel strip package (COMP276/276S, COMP260/260S, EQ601), master strip package (OPEN DECK), and reverb package (REV-X) are provided as standard.

❏ Scene memories and libraries

Mix parameters and internal effect settings can be stored in memory as up to 500 scenes for immediate recall. Effects, input/output patching, input channel/output channel settings, internal head amp (PM5D-RH model only) or external head amp settings can be stored in various libraries, independently of scenes.

❏ Digital cascade connection

Up to four PM5D units, or one PM5D and one Yamaha DM2000/02R96 unit, can be cascade-connected to share buses in the digital domain. In particular when PM5D units are cascaded together, operations such as scene saving and recall can also be linked. DME64N can also be used as inserts or as extended signal processors via a cascade connection.

❏ Surround panning

Surround pan functionality allows multi-channel playback systems to be used, letting you place the signal of an input channel in two-dimensional space, or move the sound image forward/backward and left/right. 3-1ch, 5.1ch, and

6.1ch surround modes are available.

❏ I/O card expansion

The rear panel provides four slots in which separately sold mini-YGDAI cards can be installed. AD cards, DA cards, or digital I/O cards can be installed in these slots to add inputs and outputs.

❏ Expansion via the DSP5D

A maximum of two DSP5D digital mixing systems can be cascade-connected to a PM5D to expand the inputs and outputs. You can also connect a Yamaha DCU5D digital cabling unit between the PM5D and DSP5D, and locate the DSP5D remotely.

Differences between the PM5D model and the PM5D-RH model

The PM5D is available as the standard PM5D model or as the PM5D-RH model which allows internal head amp settings to be programmed. These models differ as follows.

❏ PM5D model

• Head amp adjustments (input sensitivity settings, phantom power (+48V) on/off) for the analog inputs (INPUT jacks 1–48, ST IN jacks 1–4) are performed manually, using the controls of the top panel.

• Insert jacks (INSERT IN/OUT jacks) for the monaural analog inputs (INPUT jacks 1–48) are provided on the rear panel, allowing external effect processors to be inserted in the analog domain.

• ST IN jacks 1–4 are only for line level.

• There is no +48V MASTER switch.

INPUT jacks 1–48ST IN jacks 1–4

❏ PM5D-RH model

• Head amp adjustments (input sensitivity settings, phantom power (+48V) on/off) for the analog inputs are controlled from within the screen via software. For this reason, the top panel does not have head amp controls; instead, LEDs showing the presence or absence of a signal are provided. Head amp settings can be saved in a library and recalled at any time.

• Insert jacks for the analog inputs are not provided.

• ST IN jacks 1–4 support mic levels through line levels. Phantom power can also be supplied to ST IN jacks 1–

• The +48V MASTER switch turns all phantom power (+48V) on/off.

1 Introduction

About the channel structure of the PM5D

The PM5D provides the following input channels and output channels.

❏ Input channels

This section processes input signals and sends them to the STEREO bus or MIX buses. There are three types of input channel, as follows.

• Input channels 1–48

These channels are used to process monaural signals. By default, the input signals from the monaural analog input jacks (INPUT jacks 1–48) are assigned to these channels.

• ST IN channels 1–4

These channels are used to process stereo signals. By default, the input signals from the stereo analog input jacks (ST IN jacks 1–4) are assigned to these channels.

• FX RTN channels 1–4

These channels are used mainly to process the return signals (stereo) from the internal effects. By default, the left/right output channels of internal effects 1 through 4 are assigned to these channels.

Hint

Signal assignments to the input channels can be changed as desired.

❏ Output channels

This section mixes the signals sent from input channels etc., and sends them to the corresponding output jacks or output buses. There are three types of output channel, as follows.

• MIX channels 1–24

These channels process signals sent from input channels to MIX buses. In the initial state, output signals are assigned to MIX OUT jacks 1–24. These channels are used mainly for foldback or as sends to external effects. The signals of MIX channels 1–24 can also be sent to the STEREO bus or MATRIX buses.

• MATRIX channels 1–8

These process the signals sent from MIX channels or STEREO A/B channels to MATRIX buses, and output them from the MATRIX OUT jacks. This allows MIX channels or STEREO A/B channels to be mixed at the desired balance for output.

• STEREO A/B channels

These process the signals sent from input channels or MIX channels, and output them to STEREO OUT jacks A/B. These channels are used as the main stereo outputs. Normally, the same signal is sent from the STEREO A and B channels. However, it is also possible to use the STEREO B channel as the center channel for three-channel L/C/R playback.

About the DSP5D

The DSP5D is a digital signal processing (DSP) system expanding the inputs and outputs of the PM5D.

• Its audio processing capability is equivalent to that of the PM5D-RH. As analog audio input/output jacks, it provides INPUT jacks 1–48, ST IN jacks 1–4, and OMNI OUT jacks 1–24.

• Up to two DSP5D units can be cascade-connected to one PM5D. By connecting it with DSP5D units, the PM5D system can be expanded to a maximum of 168 channels of input (144 channels + 12 ST).

• By switching the control target on the PM5D, the DSP5D can be seamlessly controlled in the same way as the PM5D itself.

• You can use DSP5D Editor application software to remotely control and edit the parameters of the DSP5D. Only Windows computers are supported.

• The DSP5D can be connected to a Yamaha DCU5D digital cabling unit and placed on stage, and operated remotely from the PM5D.

• The front panel provides two slots in which you can install separately sold mini-YGDAI cards to add inputs and outputs in a variety of digital formats.

❏ Connectors and interfaces found only

the DSP5D

• OMNI OUT jacks, CASCADE IN/OUT RJ-45 connectors, NETWORK connector, AC IN connector

• POWER switch, mode switch, FAN switch

About the connectors: Since the DSP5D does not have the functionality for the connectors with which DSP5D is not equipped, these functions and connectors are not shown in the screen of the PM5D or DSP5D Editor.

12 PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner’s Manual Operating section

About the interface: Since the DSP5D does not have controllers such as faders or the LCD display, it is operated from the PM5D or DSP5D Editor.

Note

• The explanations in chapter 5 and following of this Owner’s Manual are based on the functionality and operating procedures of the PM5D. Supplementary explanations regarding the DSP5D are added only in cases where there is a significant difference in functionality or operating procedure. However, in cases where it is obvious that the abovedescribed differences would make clear differences in operation or in the on-screen display, explanations for the DSP5D will be omitted.

• There are some differences between the PM5D and DSP5D in the I/O cards that are supported. For the most recent information regarding I/O cards, refer to the following Yamaha website. http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/

❏ Connection to a computer

The PM5D can be connected to a computer via a USB cable from its USB TO HOST connector, but the DSP5D can be connected to a computer via an Ethernet CAT5 cable from its NETWORK connector.

Regarding cascade connections between the PM5D and DSP5D

By bi-directionally cascade-connecting the PM5D and DSP5D, you can share MIX buses 1–24, STEREO A/B buses, and CUE buses.

For details on cascade connections, refer to p.153.

Note

• Cascade connection with the DSP5D is possible only for PM5D V2.0 or later. If you’re using earlier version than V2.0, you will need to upgrade to PM5D V2.0 or later. You can download the most recent firmware from the following Yamaha website. http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/

• Connectors and interfaces not found on the DSP5D cannot be controlled from the PM5D. For example, the MONITOR [LEVEL] and MONITOR [PHONES] knobs found on the PM5D’s top panel are always operated at the level of the PM5D.

❏ Controlling the DSP5D

• As the target of control from the PM5D’s panel and screen, you can recall machine #1 (PM5D), machine #2

(first DSP5D), or machine #3 (second DSP5D) as desired. For details on operation, refer to p.153.

• Functions assigned to the user-defined keys or the FADER MODE section can be used to select the DSP5D as the target machine to be operated (➥ p.148,

149). Operations can be performed from the panel of the PM5D itself or from DSP5D Editor connected to the DSP5D.

❏ Operation when cascade-connected

• Output channels

In general, operations for the output channels of cascade-connected buses will be linked between machines. (You can also specify that they not be linked.) This means that you can operate the system as if it were a single console with an expanded number of inputs. However, since the inserts to output channels will also be duplicated, inserted GEQ modules and effects may also be consumed in duplicate or triplicate. (Separate GEQ modules or effects are inserted into the linked buses on each machine.)

• Scene memories and libraries

Scene memory and library data is stored on each machine. When a scene or a library associated with a scene is stored or recalled, the same scene/library number will be stored/recalled on all machines. When the cascade-connection becomes active, the PM5D’s library data not associated with a scene will be sent to each DSP5D to synchronize the libraries. The data on cascade-connected machines can also be saved together to a memory card.

• Effects

The DSP5D provides GEQ modules and effects that are equivalent to those on the PM5D, but since the connections between machines are bus cascade connections, inserts into input channels are limited to being within each machine.

• DCA groups / Mute groups

These will operate in tandem for cascade-connected PM5D/DSP5D machines. (➥ p.156)

• CH JOB function

Channel copy operations between the PM5D/DSP5D can be performed from the PM5D front panel. However, channels can be moved using the INPUT VIEW function only within each machine. (➥ p.274, 314)

PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner’s Manual Operating section 13

1 Introduction

Firmware versions

You can download the most recent firmware from the following Yamaha website. http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/

For either the PM5D or the DSP5D, you can check the firmware version in the UTILITY function PREFERENCE 2 screen (➥ p.207).

Major new functionality in PM5D ﬁrmware V2.0

The major new functionality and improvements that were added in conjunction with the upgrade to firmware V2.0 are as follows.

❏ Basic functionality and panel operations

• You can now control the DSP5D from the PM5D’s panel. (➥ p.153)

• On/off operations of the channel selected in the FADER MODE section can now be operated from the DCA [MUTE] key.

• Even if the FADER [FLIP] key is on, you can now use the encoders to control the panning of the signal sent to the MIX buses, the head amp gain, or the attenuators. (➥ p.49)

• If there is no vacant library number when you store the selected scene as NEW, it will now be impossible to save the scene; this prevents an existing library item from being overwritten.

• Remote control of the DME64N/24N (firmware V2.0 and later) is now faster. In particular, operation is faster when connected via an MY16-C or MY16-CII card (supported from V1.2).

• As parameters that can be operated in the screen, MONITOR LEVEL and CUE LEVEL have been added. You can now assign these to the faders of the DCA strip so that the monitor or cue levels can be adjusted. (➥ p.149)

❏ EFFECT functions

• Add-On Effects (COMP276/276S, COMP260/260S, EQ601, OPEN DECK) and DE-ESSER have been added.

•A DSP CONFIGURATION option has been added to the EFFECT ASSIGN screen and to the GEQ function GEQ ASSIGN screen, allowing internal effects 1–8 to be used as graphic EQ or parametric EQ. (➥ p.168, 173)

• When the panel [SEL] key is pressed in the EFFECT PARAM screen, or when a [SEL] key is turned on via a linking setting, the effect module inserted in that channel will automatically be selected.

• If you’ve used the tap tempo function to specify the tempo in the EFFECT PARAM screen and then edited the DELAY parameter, the tempo will now stay unchanged.

❏ GEQ functions

• Options have been added to the GEQ PARAM screen, allowing you to switch a graphic EQ to a parametric EQ. (➥ p.170)

• Not only when the panel [SEL] key is pressed in the GEQ PARAM screen but also when a [SEL] key is turned on via a linking setting, the GEQ module inserted in that channel will automatically be selected.

• When you insert a GEQ in the GEQ PARAM screen, insert-in will automatically be turned on for that channel, and will be automatically turned off when you remove the GEQ.

❏ SCENE functions

• In the SCENE screen, you can now specify “read-only” scenes that will not be overwritten when you load scenes from a memory card. (➥ p.175)

• In the SCENE screen, a DELAY field has been added, allowing you to specify the timing of the program change or MIDI events that are transmitted when the scene is recalled. (➥ p.175)

• In the SELECTIVE RECALL screen and the RECALL SAFE screen, the ON parameter has been added as a channel parameter that can be included in or excluded from recall operations. (➥ p.180, 182)

• In the SELECTIVE RECALL screen and RECALL SAFE screen, separately from the conventional Recall Safe functionality, an OUTPUT ISOLATION field has been added, so that output channels and parameters to be excluded from recall operations can be stored in SETUP memory (which is not affected by memory card load operations). (➥ p.180, 182)

❏ SYS/W.CLOCK functions

• In the MIXER SETUP screen, a VIRTUAL SOUNDCHECK button has been added, allowing you to temporarily switch the input signals without affecting the scene memory (input patching). For example, this allows you to perform a sound check using prerecorded material played back by a DAW connected to a slot, instead of the analog input material received via the INPUT jacks. (➥ p.221)

• In the OUTPUT ATT PORT screen, a ø (phase) button has been added, allowing you to switch the phase between normal and reverse for each output channel or I/O channel output port.

❏ UTILITY functions

• In the PREFERENCE 1 screen, a DCA MUTE TARGET option has been added, allowing you to specify that the DCA [MUTE] key will mute the send to the MIX bus. (➥ p.205)

• In the PREFERENCE 1 screen, an ATT OPERATION ON PANEL option has been added, allowing you to prevent the panel encoders from operating the attenuators. (➥ p.206)

• In the PREFERENCE 1 screen, a MIX SEL/ENCODER MODE LINK option has been added, allowing you to

14 PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner’s Manual Operating section

link selection of MIX channels with selection of MIX SEND SELECT keys. (➥ p.206)

• In the USER DEFINE screen, functions such as DSP5D CONTROL and ENCODER MODE KEY have been added to the functions that can be assigned to userdefined keys. (➥ p.208)

• In the FADER ASSIGN screen, options have been added, allowing you to use the STEREO/DCA strip section to control the monitor/cue level and on/off status. (➥ p.217)

• In the FADER ASSIGN screen, you can now assign the desired channels of the DSP5D as well. (➥ p.217)

• In the SECURITY screen, a LOAD LOCK function has been added, allowing you to disable loading for each type of file. (➥ p.218)

• In the SECURITY screen, a RECALL LOCK option has been added, allowing you to lock parameters so that they will not be changed when a scene or library is recalled. (➥ p.218)

❏ Input/output functions

• In the OUTPUT PATCH function OUTPUT PATCH screen, you can now change the patching of output channels to MIX OUT jacks 1–24. (➥ p.243)

• In the OUTPUT PATCH function INSERT POINT screen and the INPUT PATCH function INSERT/ DIRECT OUT POINT screen, a SET ALL button and CLEAR ALL button have been added, allowing you to turn all channels on/off in a single operation. (➥ p.246, 281)

• In the OUTPUT PATCH function, a NAME screen has been added, allowing you to assign names to output channels for display in various screens (supported from V1.2). (➥ p.247)

• In the INPUT VIEW function CH JOB screen, channel settings can now be moved as well as copied. (➥ p.314)

• In the INPUT PATCH function INSERT/DIRECT OUT POINT screen, PRE ATT has been added as a direct output transmit location. (➥ p.282)

• In the PAN/ROUTING function MIX SEND VIEW screen, the send position (PRE/POST) of the signal sent to the MIX bus is now indicated by the color of the bar graph. (➥ p.306)

• You can now set a Q of up to 16 for the parametric EQ in the input channels, output channels, and GEQ modules.

• You can now set a threshold level of down to –72 dB for an input channel GATE.

Introduction

Regarding word clock synchronization

The signal used to synchronize digital audio signal processing is called “word clock.” Normally, one device transmits a reference word clock signal, and the other devices receive this word clock signal and synchronize to it.

In order to transmit or receive digital audio signals to or from an external device via the PM5D/DSP5D’s digital input/output jacks or via a digital I/O card installed in a slot, the word clock must be synchronized between the devices. Be aware that if the word clock is not synchronized, the signals will not be transmitted correctly, and unpleasant noise will occur.

Hint

• For details on synchronizing the word clock of the PM5D/ DSP5D and external devices, refer to the explanation of word clock in Operating section “Chapter 4. Connections and setup” ( CLOCK screen” (

• As an exception, digital signals that are not synchronized with the PM5D/DSP5D can be input via a digital I/O card that contains a sampling rate converter, or via the 2TR IN/ OUT DIGITAL jacks.

How this manual is organized

In this manual, non-locking panel switches that you press are called “keys,” and those that change their on/off status when you push them in (locking types) are called “switches.” Of the control knobs on the panel, those that turn from a minimum value to a maximum value are called “knobs,” while those that turn endlessly are called “encoders.”

Controls located on the panel are enclosed in square brackets [ ] (e.g., [CUE] key, [PAD] switch) in order to distinguish them from the buttons and knobs displayed in the screen. For some controls, the section name is listed before the [ ] (e.g., CH [ON] key, EQ [FREQUENCY] encoder).

Unless otherwise specified, references to the PM5D apply to both the PM5D model and the PM5D-RH model. If specifications differ between the PM5D model and the PM5D-RH model, such differences will be noted each time they occur.

3 Basic operation on the PM5D

This chapter explains the various types of user interface used to operate the PM5D.

About the various types of user interface

Basic parameters such as mixing and editing the sound of each channel can be controlled by the faders and encoders of the top panel. However to make more detailed settings, you will need to access the appropriate “function” and edit the parameter values in the display. The section below explains the various user interface components shown in the display, and how to use them.

User interface in the display

The user interface in the PM5D’s display uses the following components.

❏ Pointer

The arrow shown in the display is called the “pointer.” Use the pointer to select the parameter you want to control next.

❏ Cursor

The red frame shown in the display is called the “cursor.” If the cursor encloses a parameter on the screen, that parameter is selected for operation.

Cursor

❏ Knobs/Faders/Boxes

Knobs/faders in the display are used to edit parameter values. The current value is shown in the box. Boxes for which

/ buttons are displayed at left and right allow you to edit the parameter by using these buttons. (If editing is not possible, the buttons will be gray.)

When you press the key for the desired function, the screen for that function will appear in the display. By repeatedly pressing a key you can cycle through the screens included in that function.

Hint

If you hold down the [SHIFT] key and press a key in the DISPLAY ACCESS section, the screens included in that function will appear in the reverse order (Page Back function). You can also use the Page Back function by holding down a key in the DISPLAY ACCESS section. If you rapidly press a key twice, you will return to the first screen in that function.

A [DEC/CANCEL]/[INC/OK] keys

Use these keys to increase or decrease the value of the parameter where the cursor is located. If the PM5D has displayed a window asking you to confirm an operation such as recall or store, these buttons can be used instead of the CANCEL button and OK button shown in the window.

B CURSOR [√]/[®]/[π]/[†] keys

These keys are used to move the cursor to the desired parameter.

C [SHIFT] key

This key can be used in conjunction with the CURSOR [√]/[®]/[π]/[†] keys to move the cursor rapidly, or in conjunction with the [DATA] encoder or [DEC]/[INC] keys to change the parameter value rapidly.

If you hold down the [SHIFT] key and press the [ENTER] key, the JOB SELECT window will appear, allowing you to set multiple parameters in a single operation. (When you move the cursor to a parameter for which there is a JOB SELECT window, an indication of “Job Select = [SHIFT] + [ENTER]” will appear.)

D [ENTER] key

Use this key to switch a button at the cursor location on/off, or to open a window.

E [DATA] encoder

Use this to increase or decrease the value of the parameter where the cursor is located. The parameter value will change more rapidly if you turn the [DATA] encoder while holding down the [SHIFT] key.

3 Basic operation on the PM5D

Basic operation

This section explains the basic procedures you can perform in the PM5D’s display. In general, you will perform operations in the PM5D’s display by combining the operations described here.

Click

Moving the pointer to a specific parameter in the screen and pressing the left/right track pad button (or the left/ right mouse button) is called “clicking.” Clicking is mainly used to turn an on-screen button on/off, to move the cursor, or to make fine adjustments to a value.

• Track pad • Mouse

Click

Using the CURSOR [√]/[®]/[π]/[†] keys of the data entry section to move the cursor to a desired parameter and then pressing the [ENTER] key is equivalent to clicking. If you are using a PS/2 keyboard, you can perform the same action using the arrow keys and the <Enter> key.

Subsequently in this manual, this operation will simply be called “clicking.”

Hint

When using the track pad, you can move the pointer to the desired parameter and then tap the track pad to obtain the same result as if you pressed the left button. (This is called the Tapping function.) If you want to use the tapping function, you must enable it in the PREFERENCE 2 screen (UTILITY function) (➥ p.206).

• Track pad

Tapping

Drag

Moving the pointer to a specific parameter in the screen and then holding down the left/right track pad (or mouse) button while moving up/down/left/right is called “dragging.” Dragging is used mainly to adjust the value of a knob or fader.

• Track pad • Mouse

Drag

While pressing

Drag

Using the CURSOR [√]/[®]/[π]/[†] keys of the data entry section to move the cursor to a desired parameter and then turning the [DATA ] encoder (or pressing the [DEC/CANCEL]/[INC/OK] keys) is equivalent to dragging. If you are using a PS/2 keyboard, you can perform the same action using the arrow keys and the <PageUp>/ <PageDown> keys (or keys that have the same function).

Subsequently in this manual, this operation will simply be called “dragging.”

Drag and drop

Moving the mouse pointer to a specific parameter in the screen, dragging to another location in the screen, and then releasing your finger is called “dragging and dropping.” Dragging and dropping is used to copy EQ or compressor settings to another channel. Dragging and dropping cannot be performed using the CURSOR keys or keyboard.

Subsequently in this manual, this operation will be called “dragging and dropping.”

You will move from the scroll window in which the cursor is currently located, in the direction of the key you pressed.

Scrolling the screen

A scroll bar is displayed if there are more items than can be shown in a single screen. To scroll the screen, drag the box shown in the bar.

[SHIFT] key

CURSOR [®] key

Hint

If the cursor is located on a grid such as in a PATCH screen, turning the [DATA] encoder clockwise will move the cursor toward the right, and turning it counterclockwise will move the cursor toward the left. If you are holding down the [SHIFT] key, turning the [DATA] encoder clockwise will move the cursor downward, and turning it counterclockwise will move the cursor upward.

➠

Drag

You can also scroll the screen by clicking the vacant portion of the scroll bar or the / buttons or / buttons located at the ends of the scroll bar.

Click these buttons to move the scroll bar box step-wise in the direction indicated. Clicking the

/ buttons will move in larger steps than clicking the / buttons.

Click in these areas to make the scroll bar box move by a large step in the corresponding direction; the screen will scroll accordingly.

If you move the cursor to the scroll bar and press the [DEC/CANCEL] key or turn the [DATA] encoder counterclockwise, the screen will scroll toward the left (or upward, in the case of vertical scrolling). If you press the [INC/OK] key or turn the [DATA] encoder clockwise, the screen will scroll toward the right (or downward, in the case of vertical scrolling).

Hint

If the cursor is located at the scroll bar box, holding down the [SHIFT] key and turning the [DATA] encoder will have the same result as clicking the button or button, depending on the direction in which you turn the encoder.

Adjust the knob value

Adjust the fader value

Move the pointer to the desired knob/fader,

and use the left/right buttons of the track pad (or mouse) to click the knob/fader.

The cursor will move to that location.

To increase or decrease the value in steps of 1,

click the right button or left button of the track pad (or mouse).

Clicking the right button will raise the value by one step, and clicking the left button will lower the value by one step.

To raise or lower the value continuously, use

the track pad (or mouse) to drag the knob/ fader.

The value will change as you drag the knob or fader left/right or up/down. For a parameter whose knob has a wide range of adjustment, holding down the right button of the track pad (or mouse) as you drag will produce a larger range of change than when using the left button.

Hint

You can also adjust the value by using the [DEC/CANCEL]/ [INC/OK] keys, the [DATA] encoder, or the <PageUp>/<PageDown> keys of a PS/2 keyboard. When adjusting a parameter that has a wide range of adjustment, you can increase the rate of change by holding down the [SHIFT] key while you press the [DEC/CANCEL]/[INC/OK] keys (or turn the [DATA] encoder).

Basic operation on the PM5D

PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner’s Manual Operating section 29

3 Basic operation on the PM5D

Assigning a name

On the PM5D you can assign a four-character name to each input channel or DCA group, and assign a title to scene and library data when saving it.

For example, the screen shown below is the LIBRARY STORE window that appears when you assign a name to the INPUT EQ library. To input characters in this screen, use the following procedure.

Use the character palette (or a PS/2 key-

board) to input a character.

When you click the character palette, a character will be input in the box, and the highlighted area will move to the right.

When you have finished inputting the name,

click the STORE button.

The name you input will be stored.

Hint

• In general, the same procedure applies in screens where you enter names for scenes or other library items.

• If a PS/2 keyboard is connected, you can use it to enter characters.

• If you move the cursor to the text input box and press the [ENTER] key (or click), the input position will move to that point. If the cursor is located at the text input box, you can step through the available characters by turning the [DATA] encoder. If the cursor is located elsewhere, turning the [DATA] encoder will move the selected position. The [INC]/ [DEC] keys move the selected position regardless of where the cursor is located.

Note

The number of characters that can be input will depend on the type of data (scene/library) you are saving. You cannot input more than the specified number of characters, or move the highlighted area beyond that range.

Input the subsequent characters in the same

way.

When inputting characters, you can use the following buttons in the character palette.
