Getting Started with DME Designer

In this manual the abbreviation “DME” refers to the DME64N/DME24N/DME8i-C/DME8o-C/DME4io-C/

DME8i-ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES. The abbreviation “DME Satellite” refers to the DME8i-C/DME8o-C/

DME4io-C/DME8i-ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES.

Your DME, SP2060, ICP1 and the DME Designer software, let you build a custom audio system

installation that can support an incredible variety of conditions. You can build an entire system from

input to output with the DME Designer software, then send the system data to the DME and SP2060

which become independent processors.

An amazing variety of applications are possible, including audio installations, sub-mixing, speaker

system control, matrix/routing, and multi-effect processing.

The DME Audio System Network

In an audio system including one or more DME units and/or SP2060 units, the “control space” is

logically organized using the concepts of “Area”, “Zone”, and “Device Group”. The space covered by

the entire system is the “Area”, while independent sonic spaces within that Area are called “Zone” A

group of DME or SP2060 units assigned to the same function are considered a “Device Group”.

An Area is comprised of one or more Zones, and each Zone can include up to 32 Device Groups.

A single Device Group can include as many as 16 devices. Each Device Group has one “Group

Master”.

NOTE

Meter response may deteriorate as the number of meters displayed in a single device group in DME Designer increases. In

such cases meter response can be improved by dividing the device group.

See “Changing Device Groups” on page 279.

NOTE

DME and SP2060 units cannot be combined in the same Device Group.

NOTE

All devices in a Device Group must be on the same subnet.

The DME Designer Software Application

The DME Designer software application provides a convenient, central interface for the creation and

control of DME-based audio systems.

By connecting the computer on which the DME Designer application is running to a Group Master it

becomes possible to control multiple devices simultaneously.

With DME Designer, DME audio systems can be designed and conﬁgured via a comprehensive block-

diagram interface on the computer screen.

The main concepts used in the creation of DME audio systems are “Components”, “Conﬁgurations”,

“Preset Parameters”, and “Scenes”.

■ Components

Any independent signal-processing block, such as an equalizer, compressor,

input/output module, or external device control object is a “Component”.

■ Conﬁgurations

A “Conﬁguration” is group of components, including their placement and interconnections.

Getting Started

DME Designer Owner’s Manual

5

■ Preset Parameters

The set of parameters for all components in a Conﬁguration is know as the Conﬁguration's “Preset

Parameters”.

■ Scenes

A Conﬁguration and its Preset Parameters are a “Scene”.

DME settings as well as Conﬁguration and Preset Parameter settings are sent from the DME Designer

application running on the computer to the Device Master via USB or Ethernet, allowing each device

to function as a separate processor, independently from the computer. It is also possible to keep the

DME Designer application on line and control the devices in real time.

It is possible to use the DME Designer to create Conﬁgurations that include multiple devices when the

appropriate devices are connected.

Although it is possible to have multiple Zones in an Area, multiple Device Groups in a Zone, and

multiple Scenes and Conﬁgurations in a Device Group, only one Area, Zone, Device Group and

Conﬁguration can be active and editable via the DME Designer at any one time. The active elements

are known as the Current Zone, Current Device Group, Current Scene, and Current Conﬁguration.

• When [Prohibit Diagonal Connections] in the [Tools] menu is active it is possible to select 2

diagonal points and those points will automatically be connected by a combination of horizontal

and vertical wires.

■ Component Editor Window

•A [Level Meter Enable] command that displays or hides the meter values has been added to the

contextual menu. Hiding the meters can result in increased communication speed in some

cases. (page 346)

•A [Display Order] function that allows the order of the controllers to be changed as required has

been added to the User Control Editor and User Module Editor. (page 311)

• An [Add Component to Component Link] command has been added to the controller contextual

menu.(page 356)

• The registered group is now displayed in the [Add Parameter to Parameter Link] submenu of the

contextual menu of controllers registered for Parameter Link operation.(page 354)

• Increased speed when selecting and dragging a large number of controllers in the User Control

Editor and User Module Editor

• It is now possible to switch from the Navigator window to Zone display while online.

■ V2.0 Precautions

Please use DME Designer V2.0 with DME64N/24N V2.0 or higher, DME8i-C/DME8o-C/DME4io-C

V2.0 or higher, and SP2060 V1.1 or higher.

See the Yamaha Pro Audio website for compatibility details (http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/).

When DME64N/24N and DME8i-C/DME8o-C/DME4io-C are used together in the same device

group, faster communication speed as well as smoother DME Designer meter display can be

obtained by assigning a DME8i-C/DME8o-C/DME4io-C unit as the device group master.

SP2060 V1.2 or higher. Refer to the Yamaha Pro Audio website (http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/)

details on combinations.

When combining DME64N/24N and DME Satellite units in a device group, be sure to assign a DME

Satellite unit as the device group master. Synchronization cannot be performed if a DME64N/24N is

assigned as the device group master.

When using the Windows Vista operating system, use only USB-MIDI Driver V3.0 or higher, and

DME-N Network Driver V1.2 or higher.

Chapter 1 Before Using

Installing DME Designer

To use DME Designer, you must ﬁrst install the software on the computer. Before you can connect the

DME Designer software to the DME or SP2060 unit, you must ﬁrst install the USB MIDI Driver or the

DME-N Network Driver, according to how you will be connecting, and then make the appropriate

settings.

For instructions about the installation and setup for the DME Designer and DME-N Network Driver, and

about the installation for the USB-MIDI Driver, see the “DME Setup Manual.”

Starting DME Designer

The DME Designer software is started from the [Start] menu. DME Designer is used with one user

logged on. The user logs on when the software is started.

■ DME Designer Start Up and Logon (When Auto-Logon Is Not Set)

1 Click [Start] ➞ [All Programs] ➞ [YAMAHA OPT Tools] ➞ [DME Designer] ➞ [DME

Designer].

The “Log On” dialog box will be displayed.

NOTE

Initial settings for DME Satellite units must be transferred via USB-MIDI, so it is necessary to properly install the USB-MIDI

Driver.

NOTE

In Windows2000, click [Start] → [Programs] → [YAMAHA OPT Tools] → [DME Designer] → [DME Designer].

NOTE

Automatic log-on is the default setting. If the automatic logon feature is enabled, the “Log On” dialog box will not be

displayed when the application is started. Instead, the auto-logon user will be logged on automatically. See page 30

for information about auto-logon.
