scenes, and recalling congurations. Direct access to a specic parameter is possible by assigning it to the [USER DEFINE] button. The large, two-digit scene number display indicates the current scene, while the 48-character LCD displays conguration and scene titles, component and parameter names, parameter values, and so on. Unauthorized operation can be prevented by using the password protection. The DME32 offers 32 inputs and 32 outputs via four mini YGDAI card slots. Optional mini YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface) cards offer a variety of analog and digital I/O congurations, with support for all the popular digital audio interconnect formats, including AES/EBU, ADAT, and Tascam TDIF-1. Inputs and outputs can be expanded in multiples of 32 by cascading additional DME32s. Up to four DME32s can be cascaded, providing a maximum of 128 inputs and 128 outputs. Cascade components offer bus-like signal distribution in multiple-unit systems and can also be used for DSP power sharing between DME32s. Superb sonic performance is achieved using 32-bit internal signal processing and a 48 kHz internal sampling rate. External sampling rates of between 39.69 kHz to 50.88 kHz are supported and can be set individually for each conguration. Remote interaction between DME32 functions and custom-made controllers and other equipment is possible using MIDI and the GPI interface, which offers 16 assignable inputs and 16 assignable outputs. Scenes and congurations can be recalled using MIDI Program Change messages or the GPI interface. Component parameters can be controlled by using MIDI Control Change messages, System Exclusive messages, or custom-made controllers attached to the GPI interface. See page 4 for a rundown of DME32 features, page 6 for DME Manager features.

A glossary of DME32-related jargon is provided on page 287. In this manual, the DME32 Digital Mixing Engine and DME Manager software are referred to as the DME32 and DME Manager respectively. PC refers to an IBM PC-compatible computer running a Windows operating system.

Installing the DME32

When mounting the DME32 in a rack, remove the DME32s feet and leave adequate ventilation space around the DME32 (at least 15 cm of free space behind). If the DME32 is mounted in a portable rack case, keep the rear of the case open when using the DME32 so as not to obstruct the free ow of air. Do not mount the DME32 above equipment that produces a lot of heat, such as a power amplier.

First Steps
Heres how to get up and running with the DME32 system with the minimum of fuss. 1 Familiarize yourself with the DME32. See Touring the DME32 on page 15. 2 Install the required mini YGDAI I/O cards. See I/O Options on page 251. 3 Connect your audio sources and other equipment to the inputs and outputs. 4 Connect the DME32 to your PC. See Connecting to a PC on page 10. 5 Connect the power cord and turn on the DME32. See Connecting the Power Cord on page 11 and Turning On & Off the DME32 on page 11. 6 Install DME Manager. See Installing DME Manager on page 12. 7 Start DME Manager. See Starting DME Manager on page 12. 8 Familiarize yourself with DME Manager. See Touring DME Manager on page 21. 9 Build a conguration. See Building Congurations on page 43. 10 Compile the conguration. See Compiling Congurations on page 61. 11 Transfer the conguration to the DME32. See Sending Congurations to the DME32 on page 62. 12 Take the conguration for a run. See Running the System on page 65.

Run Mode

Run mode is used to control the DME32 system in real time, which includes editing component parameters, storing and recalling scenes, and recalling congurations. In Run mode, actions performed on DME Manager are reected on the DME32 and vice versa. Components and wires cannot be edited in this mode. See Running the System on page 65 for more information. Congurations can be compiled and conguration data can be transferred between the DME32 and DME Manager in either Edit or Cable mode.

Main Window

This is the main window in which conguration windows are managed. Normally you wont see this window appear like this because DME Manager always starts with a conguration window open, be it a new window or a window containing the conguration received from the DME32. If you close all conguration windows, however, youll see the main window appear like this.
The main window can be minimized, maximized, and restored to its previous size by clicking the standard Windows buttons in the upper-right corner. Clicking the Close button quits DME Manager. The main window can be resized by dragging the lower-right corner. It can also be controlled using the commands in the control menu, which is accessed by clicking the program icon in the upper-left corner.

Title Bar

The main window title bar displays information about the current conguration window, including conguration title and current scene number and title. When no conguration windows are open, the title bar appears as follows.
When an unsaved conguration window is selected, the title bar appears as follows.
When the window for a conguration stored in the DME32 is selected, the conguration title is prexed with the letter A or B, as shown below.
When the window for the currently running conguration is selected, the conguration title is prexed with the word Running, as shown below.
Note that when a conguration window is not at full size, the conguration and scene information shown in the above examples appears in the title bar of the conguration window, not the main window.

3-Way Crossovers

A 3-way crossover splits the input signal into three frequency channels: low, mid, and high. Four slope types are available: 12 dB/octave, 24 dB/octave, 36 dB/octave, and 48 dB/octave.
Each 3-way Crossover component features one input and three outputs: High, Mid, and Low. Since the only difference between all the 3-way Crossover components is the lter slope, only the 3 Way 12 dB/octave control window is shown here. Each 3-way Crossover control window features a crossover graph and INPUT, LOW, MID, and HIGH sections.
The crossover graph at the top of the window displays the crossover settings graphically. A vertical dotted line indicates the crossover frequency of each channel: L for low, M for mid, and H for high.

Choose Copy. The pop-up menu disappears. Select the User Control window, and right-click over it. The following pop-up menu appears.
Choose Paste. The copied parameter appears on the control window, as shown below.
Drag the parameter by its border to position it within the control window.
Repeat steps 3 to 7 to copy other parameters to the User Control window. To delete a control, select it, then while holding down the Shift key, right-click over the control. The following pop-up menu appears.
10 Choose Delete to delete the selected control, or select All Delete to delete all
controls. The selected control, or all controls are deleted. User controls are stored in congurations, and once completed, its a good idea to store the conguration. You must compile and transfer the conguration to the DME32 for the user control to take effect. When a parameter on the User Control is adjusted, the corresponding parameter on the source component is also adjusted and vice versa. If both parameter controls are visible on-screen, you can see both of them move as either control is adjusted. Parameters on a User Control control window can be adjusted even when the source component is password protected. See Using Password Protection on page 83 for more information. Components can be protected individually using the Protect option on the Properties window. See Customizing Component Properties on page 80 for more information.

User Module

User Modules allow you to build custom components, using the library of components as building blocks, and providing a convenient way to manage frequently used component combinations. User Modules are reusable and can be titled and saved to disk. Initially a User Module features one input and one output, although this can be expanded to up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs.

Building User Modules

Select Edit mode. See Selecting Edit Mode on page 45. Add the User Module to the conguration from the Component menu or Component List and double-click it. The User Module window opens, as shown below.
Initially the User Module window features one input and one output. This can be expanded to up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs from the Properties window. See Customizing Component Properties on page 80 for more information.
Add the necessary components to the User Module window from the Component menu or Component List. The DSP power meter rises as components are added, and components can be positioned in the User Module window using the Grid and Align functions, just like working with components in a conguration window. See Adding Components on page 47 for more information. Components in a User Module window can be edited just like those in a conguration window. See Editing Components on page 48 for more information.
Select Cable mode and wire the components together. Components in a User Module window can be wired together just like components in a conguration window. See Adding Wires on page 51 and Deleting Wires on page 56 for more information.

CASCADE OUT CASCADE IN

The maximum length of each SCSI cable must not exceed 10 meters (32 ft. 9 in.). No special power-up sequence is required when turning on DME32s in a multiple-unit system, although all DME32s must be turned on within 10 seconds. Each DME32 is automatically assigned an ID as its turned on. The DME32 with nothing connected to its CASCADE IN connector is automatically assigned ID #1, while the DME32 with nothing connected to its CASCADE OUT connector is automatically assigned the last ID. MIDI connections need only be made to DME32 #1. When DME32 #1 receives a Program Change message that has been assigned to Scene 10, for example, Scene 10 is recalled on all DME32s via the cascade connections. In a multiple-unit system, the PC running DME Manager should be connected to DME32 #1. Control signals for the other DME32s are transmitted via the cascade connections. Note: When the number of DME32s in a multiple-unit system is changed (e.g., DME32s are added or removed), all DME32s must be initialized.
Multiple-unit Hookup Examples
The following example shows how two DME32s can be cascaded to achieve 16 analog inputs and 16 analog outputs by using MY4-AD and MY4-DA I/O cards. DME32 #1 is automatically assigned ID #1 because nothing is connected to its CASCADE IN port, while DME32 #2 is automatically assigned ID 2 because nothing is connected to its CASCADE OUT port. DME32 #1 is the wordclock master and its wordclock source is set to Internal. DME32 #2 automatically receives its wordclock from the cascade connection.
Windows PC running DME32 software (only required when configuring the system)

Serial port

9-pin cable
The following example shows how four DME32s can be cascaded to achieve 128 inputs and 128 outputs. DME32 #1 is automatically assigned ID #1 because nothing is connected to its CASCADE IN port, while DME32 #4 is automatically assigned ID 4 because nothing is connected to its CASCADE OUT port. DME32 #1 is the wordclock master and its wordclock source is set to Internal. The other DME32s automatically receive their wordclocks via the cascade connections. The DA824s receive their wordclocks via their slot inputs, while the AD824s receive theirs via BNC connections from DME32 #1.

Chapter 15MIDI

MIDI & the DME32
The DME32 supports the following MIDI messages: Program Changes for remote scene and conguration recall. Control Changes for remote parameter control. Parameter Changes (System Exclusive) for remote parameter control. Scenes and congurations can be assigned to MIDI Program Changes and then recalled remotely from other MIDI equipment. See Assigning Scenes & Congurations to Program Changes on page 244 for more information. When an Program Change message is received, as well as recalling the assigned scene or conguration, the DME32 can trigger another device via the GPI interface. In addition, the DME32 can transmit Program Change messages when scenes or congurations are recalled from DME Manager, front panel controls, or GPI interface. Program Change messages are transmitted only for scenes and congurations that have been assigned to a Program Change. Component parameters can be assigned to MIDI Control Changes and then controlled remotely from other MIDI equipment. See Assigning Component Parameters to Control Changes on page 246 for more information. When a Control Change message is received, as well as controlling the assigned parameter, the DME32 can trigger another device via the GPI interface. In addition, the DME32 can transmit Control Change messages when component parameters are adjusted from DME Manager, front panel controls, or GPI interface. Control Change messages are transmitted only for parameters that have been assigned to a Control Change. Component parameters can also be controlled by using Parameter Change messages. See Component Parameters & Parameter Changes on page 248 for more information. MIDI settings, including scene and conguration to Program Change, and component parameter to Control Change assignments, can be saved to disk. See Saving MIDI Settings on page 249 for more information. Along with MIDI Channel settings, parameters that determine how the DME32 transmits and receives Program Change and Control Change messages are provided on the MIDI Setup page. See MIDI Settings on page 242 for more information.

Cannot establish communication between the DME32 and DME Manager.
A scene or conguration is being recalled unknowingly.

Symptom

Advice Is the parameter being adjusted in conjunction with another parameter in a link group? See Linking Component Parameters on page 78. Is the parameter assigned to a MIDI Control Change and responding to external MIDI messages? See Assigning Component Parameters to Control Changes on page 246. Is the parameter responding to Parameter Change messages from an external MIDI device? See Component Parameters & Parameter Changes on page 248. Is the parameter assigned to a GPI input? See Assigning GPI Inputs on page 214. Is the parameter assigned to the [USER DEFINE] button of another DME32? See Assigning the User Dene Button on page 86.
A component parameter is being adjusted unknowingly.
Cannot store or recall scenes or edit component parameters. Can recall scenes but cannot store them or edit component parameters. Forgotten the DME32 password.
Is Full Protect mode enabled? See Using Full Protect on page 205.
Is Scene Recall Only mode enabled? See Using Scene Recall Only on page 204.
See Initializing the DME32 on page 210. Check the MIDI connections.
Cannot transmit or receive MIDI messages.
Make sure the connected MIDI device is turned on and set to transmit and receive on the selected MIDI Channels. Check the settings on the MIDI Setup window. See MIDI Settings on page 242. Make sure that the DME32 is set to receive Program Change messages and that the MIDI Receive Channel setting is correct. See MIDI Settings on page 242. Check that the Program Change being transmitted is assigned to a scene. See Assigning Scenes & Congurations to Program Changes on page 244. Remember that only scenes that contain data can be recalled. Make sure that the DME32 is set to receive Control Change messages and that the MIDI Receive Channel setting is correct. See MIDI Settings on page 242. Check that the Control Change being transmitted is assigned to a component parameter. See Assigning Component Parameters to Control Changes on page 246. Make sure that the DME32 is set to receive Parameter Change messages. See MIDI Settings on page 242. This is correct. The other DME32s automatically receive their wordclock signals via the cascade connections. This is because the GPI input assigned to emergency has been triggered. Investigate the cause and remove the emergency condition. See Emergency Mode on page 220. Check the cascade connections between the DME32s. See Cascade Connections on page 237.

MIDI Program Change messages do not recall scenes.
MIDI Control Change messages do not control component parameters.
MIDI Parameter Change messages do not control component parameters. In a multiple-unit system, the wordclock source can only be set on DME32 #1. The EMERGENCY indicator is lit. Multiple-unit operation does not work.
Symptom Component control window movement is erratic in Windows 98. Advice In Windows 98, open the Display control panel and click the Effects tab, and then turn off the Show window contents while dragging option. In Windows 98, open the Display control panel, click the Settings tab, and then click Advanced. Click the General tab, and then set the Display Font Size to Small Fonts. If you are using Windows 95, open the Display control panel, click the Settings tab, and then set Font to Small Fonts. You may be prompted to restart your PC. Is DME Manager in Run or Cable mode? Components can be added only in Edit mode. See Adding Components on page 47. Is the DSP power meter showing 100%? See Adding Components on page 47. Cannot add a component. Does the conguration already contain a component of the type that you are trying to add? For certain components, such as input and output, only one component can be used in each conguration. Up to 159 of the same component can be added to any one conguration (e.g., 159 Fader 4 components). Cannot add or delete a wire. Cannot access the Run Mode Controller. Cannot store a conguration from the Run Mode Controller. Cannot edit a components controls. Is DME Manager in Run or Edit mode? Wires can be added or deleted only in Cable mode. See Adding Wires on page 51. The Run Mode Controller appears only when Run mode is selected. This is normal. Congurations cannot be stored using the Run Mode Controller. Use the Data Transfer window to transfer congurations. See Sending Congurations to the DME32 on page 62. Is the components Protect property checked? See Customizing Component Properties on page 80. Compiling a conguration requires a small amount of DSP processing power. In some cases, compiling may fail even though the DSP power meter does not indicate 100%. This is because the DSP power meter displays approximate usage, and its accuracy is affected by the type of components in the conguration and the order in which they were added and wired. Delete any unnecessary components and try compiling again. Try making the title font smaller. See Customizing Component Properties on page 80.
Components and wires are displayed out of alignment.

Cannot compile a conguration.
Cannot see a components title completely.

Message The DME32 conguration data has changed. Receive data from DME32? This component is protected! This operation is protected! Too many components for DME32 #! You must enter a title for the conguration! You must enter a title for the user module! Available resources are low. Further editing is not recommended. Delete some components or restart the program to resolve the problem.
Reason The conguration data has changed on the DME32. This may due, for example, to the wordclock setting being changed from the front panel, or a conguration being loaded from a PC Card. An attempt was made to edit a protected component. An attempt was made to use a protected operation. The maximum number of components for the specied DME32 has been exceeded. An attempt was made to send a conguration, but no conguration was selected, or no title was entered. An attempt was made to save a user module, but no title was entered. This message warns that Windows resources are getting low, perhaps because there are many conguration windows open, or several programs are running simultaneously. If you continue using DME Manager, Windows may suddenly quit DME Manager.

Solution

Click OK to receive the updated conguration data from the DME32. Turn off the component's protection, and then try editing again. Turn off the Operation or Component protection, and then try again. Delete any unused components in order to free up resources, and then add the new component. Select a conguration, or enter a title, and then try sending again. Enter a title, and then try saving again.
