Owner’s Manual
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. 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 devices supported:
iPhone (iPhone3GS or later), iPod touch (3rd generation or later), iPad
Android OS 4.2 or later
Please refer to the Yamaha Pro Audio website shown below for the latest tested Android devices
and OS versions.
http://www.yamahaproaudio.com
• 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)
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 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.

Setting Up
Below are instructions for the basic configuration.
1. Check IP address mode of the MTX processor to which the Wireless DCP will be connected.
Check that DIP SW6 on the rear panel of the MTX processor is set to UNIT ID (upper position).
The IP address of the MTX processor is now set as the UNIT ID (i.e., 192.168.0.[UNIT ID]).
2. Set the PC’s IP address to DHCP (obtain an IP address automatically) for use with
MTX Editor. The PC will obtain its IP address from the DHCP server on the access
point.
3. Change the IP address of the Wi-Fi access point.
The IP address of the MTX processor and the Wi-Fi access point should be the same subnet. Use
192.168.0.254 for the access point Wi-Fi IP address, ensuring this does not conflict with any other
devices on the network, such as a gateway address. Refer to the user manual of your particular
access point to set the IP address of the Wi-Fi access point.
4. Configure the DHCP server function in the Wi-Fi access point.
The IP address of the Wi-Fi access point and the DHCP address range must not have the same IP
address as any other device (i.e., MTX/XMV) in the network. We recommend a setting the DHCP
address within the range of 192.168.0.150 to 192.168.0.200. Refer to the user manual of your particular access point. It is important to ensure that no IP addresses are duplicated by multiple devices.
3. Configuration
5. Launch MTX Editor and configure the Device Configuration Wizard according to the
devices present.
6. Configure the Wireless DCP settings in MTX Editor and store them as a library.
7. Assign the Wireless DCP library to all presets requiring control.
8. Go online and synchronize to the devices.
This will send all configured settings to the MTX processors.
9. Recall the preset made in step 7 from MTX Editor or the front panel of the MTX processor.
10. Configure the Wi-Fi settings of the smart device.
Refer to the Wi-Fi configuration in “iOS Device” in section 3.2 about the iOS device.
11. Launch Wireless DCP on your smart device.
12. Confirm that the MTX processor is present in the “Select Device” screen.
If no MTX processor is present, turn off Wi-Fi in the smart device settings, then turn it back on again.
If the “Not connected” screen is displayed, check again that all presets to be controlled have the wireless DCP library assigned to them in MTX Editor; otherwise no MTX processor will be recognized by
the Wireless DCP. If the MTX processor is not automatically present in the “Select Device” screen
after the above settings are made, manually add the MTX processor’s IP address (3.3.5 Manual IP)
13. At the “Select Device” screen, select the MTX processor that you configured.
14. Unless a PIN (a four-digit number) has already been set, tap “Join” on the onscreen
keyboard.
.
15. The “Controller 1” screen will appear.
The Change PINs (page 33), and Staff Settings (page 34) can be configured according to the project.
NOTE
When changing previously configured Wireless DCP library settings, such as assigning parameters to switches and
knobs, the latest settings will not be reflected automatically on the smart device after going online to other devices.
The first time after going online, always recall the preset from the front panel or within MTX Editor.
