Yamaha®

This setup information applies to the Yamaha® 01V96, 02R96, CL1, CL3, CL5, DM1000, DM2000, LS9-16, LS9-32, M7CL-48, and PM5D using the Ross SMC-9901 Serial to MIDI Converter.

Refer to the documentation that came with the SMC-9901 Serial to MIDI Converter for setup information.

Cable Connections

The device connects to the switcher through the SMC-9901 Serial to MIDI Converter. Two standard MIDI interface cables are used to connect the device to the SMC-9901, and a single DB9 to DB9 serial RS-422 cable is used to connect the SMC-9901 to the switcher.

Tip: If an ethernet connection is required, a Comtrol® DeviceMaster® can be used to connect to the switcher over ethernet and to the device over serial. Refer to the Comtrol® cutsheet for setup information and pinouts.
