Thank you for downloading Yamaha ProVisionaire Touch.
ProVisionaire Touch is an application for remotely controlling a
system (a system consisting of devices that can be controlled by
this application, such as MusicCast devices or Disklavier units
and an MTX/MRX system) from a tablet (iPad) via a Wi-Fi network.
You can design a control panel by freely arranging widgets, allowing you to create custom panels that suit the needs of your system.
Who should read this document
This is a guidebook intended for those who design, produce,
and set up custom control panels using this application.
It is not a guidebook for general users.

What you can do using ProVisionaire Touch
• Using ProVisionaire Touch, you can use your tablet device to intuitively place widgets such as sliders, buttons,
and photos on the page (screen) to create an original touch control panel that fits the requirements of your
installation and your needs, all without requiring any special programming.
• Since you can create multiple design pages, a separate control panel could be created for each area and user,
or you can create design pages for specific presets or parameter states.
You can restrict access to control panels and design pages, ensuring secure and convenient operation of the
controller.
• Data for a completed control panel can be exported as a file, allowing you to use the same controller for multiple
units, or you can save the data as a template and use or share it with other systems. This lets you create controllers efficiently and conveniently.
• Since connection with the target system occurs via Wi-Fi, the tablet device does not have to be mounted on the
wall; it can be operated while held in the hand, and used as a convenient remote controller.
• You can create a settings file for ProVisionaire Touch Kiosk, which is optimized for remote control (subsequently
referred to as Kiosk).
When reading this document
The term “preset” appearing in explanations of the screens and functions of this
application is used in two different senses: “images and materials provided for you to
use in a color palette” and “preset data managed by the processors of the MTX/MRX
system.” For clarity, the word “preset” is used to denote the first sense (provided
materials), and [Preset] denotes the second (preset data of the MTX/MRX system).
Keep this in mind as you read.

4. If possible, enable “Auto Channel Selection.”
The wireless channel with the least interference will be selected.
For the fastest communication between the iPad and the Wi-Fi
access point, we recommend that you select an 802.11n network. If
you use multiple external antennas, it will be easier to connect to the
Wi-Fi access point.
In addition, we recommend that you make stealth mode and MAC
address filter settings to increase security.
Use CAT5e cables to connect the target system with the Wi-Fi
access point.
Include an Ethernet switch in the system if necessary.
To convey audio signals, connect the ST IN of the MTX or MRX to
the AUX OUT or ANALOG OUT of the MusicCast device or to the
OMNI OUT of the Disklavier.

Example network settings for other than the iPad
1. Check the IP address setting (IP SETTING) of the
devices in the target system.
On the rear panel of the unit, make sure that DIP switch 6 is set to
UNIT ID (upward position).
The IP address will be specified by the UNIT ID, and will be
“192.168.0.(UNIT ID).”
6. Specify the IP addresses of devices other than the
MTX/MRX system.
When making settings in Windows, use the following method.
Make sure that the IP addresses do not conflict with the IP addresses
of other devices. The recommended range is “192.168.0.100”-“192.168.0.149.”
1 Hold down the <Windows> key and press the <E> key.
2. On the computer that’s using MTX-MRX Editor, make
settings so that the IP address will be obtained automatically (DHCP).
3. Change the IP address of the Wi-Fi access point.
Set the Wi-Fi access point to the same network (subnet) as the target
system. We recommend that you use “192.168.0.254” as the IP
address of the Wi-Fi access point. Connect the computer to the Wi-Fi
access point, and change it from the computer’s web browser. For
details on how to make this change, refer to the manual of the Wi-Fi
access point.
4. Set the router to automatically assign IP addresses
(DHCP).
Make sure that the IP addresses do not conflict with the devices of the
MTX/MRX system. The recommended range is “192.168.0.150” –
”192.168.0.200.” For details on how to make this change, refer to the
manual of the router built into the Wi-Fi access point.
5. Connect devices other than the MTX/MRX system to
the network.
The Explorer opens.
2 In the left side of the Explorer, click “Network.”
The devices connected to the network are shown.
3 Double-click the icon of a device that is shown in the
“Media Devices” or “Other Devices” area.
The browser starts, letting you make settings for the device.
4 Specify the IP address.
• For a MusicCast device: In the network settings screen,
select “Wired” or “Wired LAN,” turn [DHCP] off, and spec-
ify the IP address and subnet mask.
• For a Disklavier: Go to [Settings] [Network] [Wired
Network] [Use DHCP] to specify manual settings,
specify the IP address and subnet mask, and click [Send].
[Send] might not be visible unless you scroll.

Example network settings for the iPad
1. In the home screen of the iPad, tap [Settings] [Wi-Fi].
2. Turn the [Wi-Fi] switch On (), and from the access
point list that appears, select the access point of the
target system.
3. Enter the password of the Wi-Fi access point.
4. Make network settings.
If obtaining the IP address automatically
1. Select [DHCP].
If specifying the IP address manually (when it can-
not be obtained automatically)
1. Select [Static].
2. Verify that “IP Address,” “Subnet Mask,” “Router,” and “DNS”
are set.
3. Click the home button to complete the settings.
2. In “IP Address,” enter the IP address of the target system,
changing only the fourth octet (in the illustration above,
“200”).
3. In “Subnet Mask,” enter “255.255.255.0.”
4. In “Router,” enter the IP address of the router or the IP
address of the Wi-Fi access point.
5. In “DNS,” enter the IP address of the DNS or the IP address
of the Wi-Fi access point.
6. Click the home button to complete the settings.

Tips for network settings
1. The IP addresses of the devices you’re connecting must be
set to the same subnetwork.

*1 If the Wi-Fi access point does not have router functionality, specify the IP
address for accessing the Wi-Fi access point device.

2. Connect the target system to a LAN port of the Wi-Fi access
point.
If you connect it to the Ethernet port (WAN port), it will be
impossible to communicate correctly between the smart
device and the target system.
3. Start ProVisionaire Touch.
ProVisionaire Touch detects the target system and connects
automatically.
