AD8HR remote without a Yamaha console

Can AD8HR be remotely controlled by a Windows PC without a Yamaha console?

Yes.
When a NAI48-ES interfaces between AD8HR's AES/EBU output and EtherSound (ES) digital audio network, the NAI48-ES translates a remote control command from ES-Monitor software running on the Windows PC via the ES network, which will be output from RS-422 port on the NAI48-ES to the AD8HRs.

Open the Control tab of the NAI48-ES and check the "AD8HR PC Remote Control" option. Now a new tab named AD8HR is available. Click the tab and control AD8HRs.



The other way may be using a DME unit. The DME interfaces between DME Designer running on a Windows PC and AD8HRs which are connected to the DME with RS-422 serial cable.

(DME Designer V3 Owner's manual, p.213)
"You can connect Yamaha AD824 and AD8HR A/D converters to a DME unit and control them remotely from DME Designer. DME Designer has a component editor for controlling [AD824] and [AD8HR] units.
If you arrange an [AD824] or [AD8HR] from [External Device] in the Zone window, select the connected DME unit in the properties dialog box, and double-click on an [AD824] or [AD8HR] block, the component editor is displayed."

Use the TAP TEMPO

How do I use the TAP TEMPO function from a User Defined Key? I assigned the function to one of the User Defined Keys but it didn’t work.

(PM5D, M7CL, and LS9) "SYNC" switch in the Effect Parameter screen has to be turned on.

(DM/0) "SYNC" switch in the Effect Parameter screen has to be turned on. Please input timing by tapping ENTER key on TAP TEMPO button in Effect Edit screen.
Note:
Please refer to the owner's manual for the relation between the delay time and Tempo/Note parameter. When you choose quarter note, the delay time will be set as exactly the same timing you tapped.
