Input delay for M7CL/LS9?

This is the first tip/FAQ.

Unfortunately, there's no delay processor on the input channel. So basically you need to insert something to the channel.

You can use an internal rack unit with Mono-Delay program to insert to the channel. But here is a trick.

Do you have a MY-slot you are not using?
Those consoles have 0-600msec Output Port Delay for all output ports including all of MY-slots. Install MY16-AT (or other digital card) and create a loop from its OUT to IN. Insert the port of the looped MY-slot to have its output Port Delay for the input channel. Please remember to turn the Insert ON.
To change the delay time, please go to Output Port Setup screen.
Now, you have 16 delay units ready to be inserted to any input or output channel.

Note
With this insert patch and the external loop, the channel will have little extra delay (much less than 1 msec). Even you set the delay to 0 msec, the channel is delayed by several samples compare to the other channels which don't have the insertion.

Tech tips

I'd like to start writing about several tips of our products which are spoken in our class.
To remember those useful tips, please come back to this blog and find them.

PM5D V2.20 and Leopard compatible software!

Please check download page for the latest update!

Jose Rocks Out to Underhanded!!

(During classes, Jose shows pictures of attendees who send their photos in to him, and he tells the current class, "Send us your picture and we'll give you your 10 or 12 seconds of fame." Well, Jose, here is your 3o seconds of fame!)

When we set up for the classes, we like to play music for entertainment value. Here, Jose rocks out to a song by Mike's band, Underhanded. Mike grabbed this with his phone camera, so the quality is not great...no time to mess with resolution settings when you have to capture a once-in-a-lifetime-(we hope)-performance!!! Enjoy!

Vista support!

Finally, Yamaha software officially supports Windows Vista.
Please check the Download page and each program's System Requirement. All editions of Windows Vista (32 bit version only) is supported. (Some programs don't support Home Premium/Home Basic Edition, please see its System Requirement.)

I guess most of you use your PC for Studio Manager. Please check your USB MIDI driver. V3 is for Vista. Other programs, such as Studio Manager and PM5D Editor, don't need update. Their current version programs were tested with Windows Vista and confirmed their compatibility.

Thank you for waiting for this information.
