PM5D & DME64N CASCADE Mode 1: Remote Control & Bi-directional Audio This uses the CASCADE IN/OUT ports, but is not a Cascade function. (MIX buses are not merged: you use the PATCH function to choose the required audio connections.) Advantages: Use DME for inserting extra GEQs, PEQs... Use DME for extra effects units (send & return). Control many of the DME functions from PM5D. Patch any PM5D output to DME (including insert send and direct out). Monitor DME audio channels from PM5D CUE bus.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 1: Remote Control & Bi-directional Audio ■ Cascade Setup On MIXER SETUP screen (SYS/W.CLOCK function), select: CASCADE IN PORT (1) SLOT4 CASCADE OUT PORT (2) (will only allow 16 channels from DME) SLOT3/4 SLOT3/4 SLOT1-4 [CH1-8] (this is not normally a practical option) SLOT1-4 [CH1-8] SLOT1-4 [CH9-16] (useful if you only have MY8 or MY4 cards installed) SLOT1-4 [CH9-16] 1 2 Whichever slots you choose here will be disabled from normal use.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 1: Remote Control & Bi-directional Audio ■ Patching In the PATCH screens, instead of seeing the slots selected in Cascade Setup procedure, the 32 cascade connections will be seen (yellow colour). So any audio channel inside PM5D can be patched to any cascade channel for sending to and from DME64N. Patch the DME like an external GEQ, effect unit or speaker processor.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 1: Remote Control & Bi-directional Audio ■ Control and Monitoring In the DME CONTROL-SETUP screen, click ‘CONNECT’ and select the type of component to be edited here. Press to activate the DME monitor in the PM5D CUE bus. In the Monitor Out box of DME Designer (in the Tools menu of the main window), select a spare cascade port to use to link the DME monitor to the PM5D CUE bus. This indicator will appear. Choose the name of the component to be edited here.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 1: Remote Control & Bi-directional Audio ■ Scene Recall MIDI Link The SCENE RECALL LINK switch in the DME CONTROL-SETUP screen will enable PM5D to send a MIDI message through the cascade connection to recall a scene in the DME, following the Program Change table assignments. You need to switch on Program Change Rx. (It doesn’t matter about the MIDI PORT selection, as it will use the CASCADE IN/OUT ports automatically.) You need to switch on PROGRAM CHANGE Tx.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 2: Remote Control & One-way Audio: PM5D to DME64N Mode 2: Remote Control & One-way Audio: PM5D to DME64N This uses only the CASCADE OUT port of PM5D and the CASCADE IN port of DME64N, but is not a Cascade function. (MIX buses are not merged: you use the PATCH function to choose the required audio connections.) Advantages: Use DME for extra output processing GEQs, crossovers, delays. Control many of the DME functions from PM5D.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 2: Remote Control & One-way Audio: PM5D to DME64N ■ Cascade Setup On MIXER SETUP screen (SYS/W.CLOCK function), select: CASCADE IN PORT (1) CASCADE OUT PORT (2) CASCADE IN SLOT3/4 (this is not normally a practical option) SLOT1-4[CH1-8] (useful if you only have MY8 or MY4 cards installed) SLOT1-4[CH9-16] 1 DME64N Properties, Cascade Setting: Choose 0dB Head Margin when connecting with PM5D in this way. Check all the ports you wish to use with PM5D.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 2: Remote Control & One-way Audio: PM5D to DME64N ■ Patching In the OUTPUT PATCH screens, instead of seeing the slots selected in Cascade Setup procedure, the 32 cascade output connections will be seen (yellow colour). So any output channel from PM5D can be patched to any cascade output for sending to DME64N. ■ Control and Monitoring In this case, the DME monitor function cannot be heard on PM5D, though it can be controlled.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 2: Remote Control & One-way Audio: PM5D to DME64N ■ Scene Recall MIDI Link The SCENE RECALL LINK switch in the DME CONTROL-SETUP screen will enable PM5D to send a MIDI message through the cascade connection to recall a scene in the DME, following the Program Change table assignments. You need to switch on Program Change Rx. (It doesn’t matter about the MIDI PORT selection, as it will use the CASCADE IN/OUT ports automatically.) You need to switch on PROGRAM CHANGE Tx.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 3: One-way Audio Cascade: PM5D to DME64N Mode 3: One-way Audio Cascade: PM5D to DME64N This uses the Cascade function, from the CASCADE OUT port of PM5D to the CASCADE IN port of DME64N. (PM5D MIX buses are sent to the DME cascade buses.) Advantages: Use DME for larger matrix. Use DME for extra output processing GEQs, crossovers, delays. All slot I/O are available for other devices.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 3: One-way Audio Cascade: PM5D to DME64N ■ Cascade Setup On MIXER SETUP screen (SYS/W.CLOCK function), select: CASCADE IN PORT (1) CASCADE OUT PORT (2) CASCADE IN CASCADE OUT (This is the default setting) 1 2 BI-DIRECTION should be off (grey colour), and CASCADE ENABLE should be on (green colour). The DME CONTROL screen (MIDI/REMOTE function) can be ignored in this case.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 3: One-way Audio Cascade: PM5D to DME64N ■ Patching In the OUTPUT PATCH screens, all 4 slots can be patched as normal. ■ Control and Monitoring In this case, the DME monitor function cannot be heard on PM5D, and it cannot be controlled. DME scenes cannot be recalled or stored from PM5D. Some control can be achieved by using standard MIDI Control Change messages and the MIDI REMOTE layers of PM5D. See next page for details.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 3: One-way Audio Cascade: PM5D to DME64N ■ MIDI Link The SCENE RECALL LINK will not work in this connection mode. Regular MIDI Control Change and Program Change messages can be exchanged through a separate MIDI cable, but it takes some time to set up. Tx from PM5D Rx on DME64N This example shows a PM5D MIDI REMOTE layer set up to control some matrix parameters in DME64N, using MIDI Control Change.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 4: Audio from DME64N to PM5D Mode 4: Audio from DME64N to PM5D This uses the CASCADE IN port of PM5D, but is not a Cascade function. (MIX buses are not merged: you use the PATCH function to choose the required audio connections.) NOTE: It is not possible to use the Cascade function for combining DME cascade output with the MIX buses of PM5D. Advantages: Use DME for extra input channels, like a sub-mixer. Patch DME cascade outputs to any input of PM5D.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 4: Audio from DME64N to PM5D ■ Cascade Setup On MIXER SETUP screen (SYS/W.CLOCK function), select: CASCADE IN PORT (1) CASCADE OUT PORT (2) SLOT4 CASCADE OUT (will only allow 16 channels from DME) SLOT3/4 SLOT1-4 [CH1-8] (this is not normally a practical option) SLOT1-4 [CH9-16] (useful if you only have MY8 or MY4 cards installed) 1 2 Whichever slots you choose here will be disabled from normal use.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 4: Audio from DME64N to PM5D ■ Patching In the PATCH screens, instead of seeing the slots selected in Cascade Setup procedure, the cascade connections will be seen (yellow colour). So the inputs from DME64N can be patched to any input channel (or insert return) of PM5D. Cascade in patch instead of SLOT4 ■ Control and Monitoring In this case, the DME monitor function cannot be heard on PM5D, and it cannot be controlled. DME scenes cannot be recalled or stored from PM5D.
PM5D & DME64N CASCADE / Mode 4: Audio from DME64N to PM5D ■ MIDI Link The SCENE RECALL LINK will not work in this connection mode. Regular MIDI Control Change and Program Change messages can be exchanged through a separate MIDI cable, but it takes some time to set up. Tx from PM5D Rx on DME64N This example shows a PM5D MIDI REMOTE layer set up to control some matrix parameters in DME64N, using MIDI Control Change.
PM5D & DME64N with MY16-C/MY16-CII Remote Control & Bi-directional Audio (Using MY16-C/MY16-CII) This uses MY16-C/MY16-CII in the card slots, with patching as normal. It has the added benefit of allowing DME control from PM5D. Advantages: Use DME for inserting extra GEQs and PEQs. Use DME for extra effects units (send & return). Control many of the DME functions from PM5D. Patch any PM5D output to DME (including insert send and direct out). Monitor DME audio channels from PM5D CUE bus.
