Overview of PM5D Editor
PM5D Editor enables you to remotely control the Yamaha PM5D mixing console and to save the parameter settings
on your computer. To use PM5D Editor, you must first perform the following operations:
1 Start and configure Studio Manager.
2 Start and configure PM5D Editor.
3 Synchronize PM5D Editor with your PM5D console ( ➥ p.3).
For more information on using Studio Manager, refer to the Studio Manager Owner’s Manual.
Configuring PM5D Editor
You must configure the following settings for each open Editor.
• Specify MIDI ports in the Setup window of Studio Manager before making the following settings.
•To open each Editor, double-click the icon of the console or device you want to edit.
❏ System Setup
To open the System Setup window, choose [System Setup] from the
[File] menu.
Be sure to specify the Input port and Output port.
Input port/Output port: From the ports you specified in
Studio Manager, select the ports that the editor will use to commu-
nicate with the PM5D console.
Console Device ID: PM5D Editor can control any one of up to
eight PM5D consoles, each with its own exclusive ID. Select the ID
of the console you want to control.
Channel Select: These options determine whether or not chan-
nel selection is linked. When the PC->Console option is on, select-
ing a channel in PM5D Editor selects the same channel on the
console. When the Console->PC option is on, selecting a channel
on the console selects the same channel in PM5D Editor.
Confirmation: These check boxes specify whether a confirma-
tion dialog box will appear when you store (Store Confirmation), recall (Recall Confirmation), patch (Patch Con-
firmation), or make a patch change that would modify an existing patch (Steal Patch Confirmation).
Window Control from Console: This option determines whether or not using the USER DEFINED KEYS
on the console enables you to remotely open and close the PM5D Editor windows.

❏ Console Setup
To open the Mixer Setup window, choose [Mixer Setup] from
the [File] menu.
Pair Mode: Select whether faders will be paired Horizontally
or Vertically.
Pan Nominal Position: Select whether the signal will be at
nominal level when panned to the center (Center) or when
panned all the way to left or right (L<->R). You can make sepa-
rate settings for monaural channels and paired channels.
Bus Setup: Select the MIX bus mode (VARI/FIXED) for
every two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered MIX buses.
MIX buses assigned as surround buses are indicated as “SUR-
ROUND” and cannot be changed.
Surround Bus Allocation: Select the MIX buses (MIX 1–
8 or MIX 9–16) that will be used as surround buses.
Stereo B: Specify whether the same signal as the STEREO A
bus will be sent to the STEREO B bus (Stereo Bus), or whether
the STEREO B bus will function as the CENTER bus for LCR
mode (Center Bus).
Surround Mode: Select the surround mode (STEREO, 3-1,
5.1, 6.1).
Synchronizing PM5D Editor
When PM5D Editor starts up, the parameter settings on the console and the parameter settings in PM5D Editor may
be different. Therefore, you must first match the parameter settings on the console with those in PM5D Editor. This
operation is called “synchronization.” Follow the steps below to synchronize PM5D Editor.
1 Select [Synchronize], then [Re-synchronize].
The following window opens.
2 Select whether you want to transfer your settings to PM5D
Editor, or vice versa.
At this time, the All Libs option determines whether or not Scene and
Library data is synchronized.
PC -> Console: Transfers the current parameter settings in PM5D Editor to your console.
Console -> PC: Transfers the current parameter settings of your console to the PM5D Editor.
3 Click [OK].
Do not operate the console while synchronization is in progress.
If you use the “Total Recall” function in Studio Manager, all selected Editors in Studio Manager are syn-
chronized with the corresponding devices.
Offline Edit Function
If you do not want to synchronize your console with PM5D Editor, select [Offline Edit] from the [Synchronization]
menu. To apply your off-line edits to your console, select [Re-Synchronize] from the [Synchronization] with the PC
-> Console option to synchronize the console with PM5D Editor.
The Offline Edit function is also activated when you click the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE] button in the Sync window.
Some effect parameters in the console change their displayed values depending on the sampling fre-
quency. If you switch PM5D Editor from OFFLINE to ONLINE, displayed parameter values may change
because PM5D Editor loads the sampling frequency from the console and updates the display.

Working with Sessions
All of your console’s mix settings in PM5D Editor, including Scene and library data, are called Sessions. The follow-
ing table describes how to handle Sessions.
When you save a session in the window of an editor, the settings of only that editor will be saved in a file. Session files
saved by PM5D Editor have a filename extension of “.YSE”. Files in which only the PM5D console data is saved (file-
name extension “.PM5”) can also be handled, allowing you to use a memory card to exchange data with the PM5D
console.
If you save a Session in the Studio Manager window, all selected Editor settings are saved in a file with a file extension
of “.YSM.”
Window operations
You can select and open each window from the [Win-
dows] menu. For the INPUT CH window and Effect Edi-
tor window, use the sub-menu to select the channels or
library you want to see.
In the Library window or Scene window, click the tabs
located at the top of the window to switch between
pages.
Creating a new Session Choose [New Session] from the [File] menu.
Opening a previously saved Session Choose [Open Session] from the [File] menu.
Saving the current Session Choose [Save Session] from the [File] menu.
Saving the current Session with a new name Choose [Save Session As...] from the [File] menu.

fader in the STEREO A/B channel strip of the PM5D panel.
The current fader value is shown in the numeric box immediately below the fader. The
level meter at the right of the fader shows the output level of the signal.
The numbers and alphabetical letters at the right of the fader indicate the DCA group
and mute groups to which that channel belongs, and show the Recall Safe and Mute
Safe status of the channel. (For the significance of the numbers and alphabetical letters,
see ➥p.8).
