Getting Started What is PM5D/DSP5D Editor? PM5D Editor and DSP5D Editor allow you to remotely control the parameters of the PM5D or DSP5D, and save the parameters on your computer. PM5D/DSP5 Editor are used by starting them up from within Studio Manager. To use PM5D/DSP5D Editor, you must perform the following steps. “Start up Studio Manager and make settings” → “Start up PM5D Editor or DSP5D Editor and make settings” → “Synchronize with the PM5D/DSP5D itself (➥ p.
❏ DSP5D Editor: System Setup To open the System Setup window, choose [System Setup] from the [File] menu. You must specify the Input port and Output port. Input port/Output port: From the ports you have previously specified in Studio Manager, select the ports you will use for communication with the DSP5D. Fast Sync: This shortens the time required for synchronization with the DSP5D. If synchronization fails, you should disable (clear) this item.
Number of Effects: This changes the number of assigned internal effects and GEQ modules. Decreasing the number of internal effects by one will increase the number of available GEQ modules by one. You can change the number assigned between eight internal effects (and twelve GEQ modules) to no internal effects (and twenty GEQ modules). You can use up to eight GEQ modules as effects. +48V Master: This function is found only in DSP5D Editor.
Synchronizing PM5D/DSP5D Editor When PM5D/DSP5D Editor starts up, the parameter settings on the PM5D/DSP5D itself and the parameter settings in PM5D/DSP5D Editor may be different. Therefore, you must first match the parameter settings on the PM5D/ DSP5D itself with those in PM5D/DSP5D Editor. This operation is called “synchronization.” Follow the steps below to synchronize PM5D/DSP5D Editor. 1 Select [Synchronize], then [Re-synchronize]. The window shown at right opens.
If you save a Session in the Studio Manager window, all selected Editor settings are saved in a file with a file extension of “.YSM.” NOTE Data with the extension “.PM5” that was saved by PM5D version 1 and PM5D Editor (supporting version 1) can also be opened by PM5DV2 Editor. Window operations You can select and open each window from the [Windows] menu. For the INPUT CH window and Effect Editor window, use the sub-menu to select the channels or library you want to see.
Undo/Redo Function In PM5D/DSP5D Editor, you can cancel the latest operation (Undo) and also cancel the cancellation of the latest operation (Redo). If you perform an Undo operation twice in a row, you can cancel the two most-recent operations. If you perform an Undo operation three times in a row, you can cancel the three most-recent operations. In this way, you can cancel multiple recent operations. The following table describes how to use the Undo/Redo function.

Choose [Windows] → [Utility] → [Fader Mode Assign] to access this window. However unlike the FADER ASSIGN screen on the PM5D itself, you won’t be able to execute the assigned function. If you synchronize Console -> PC, the settings of the console will be reflected in PM5D Editor. DSP5D Editor does not have a corresponding window.
Word Clock window In this window of the editor you can edit and view the DSP5D’s word clock settings. Choose [Windows] → [System] → [Word Clock] to access this window. DSP5D Editor does not have a corresponding window. 1 2 3 A MASTER CLOCK SELECT This selects the master clock that will be used; either the internal clock or an external clock received via a connector or slot. This setting will determine the sampling rate at which the DSP5D will operate. You can select the following items.
• UNLOCK ( ) This indicates that a valid clock is not being input. If an external device is connected to the corresponding connector, input/output cannot occur correctly between that device and the DSP5D. • LOCK, but NOT SYNC’ED ( ) A valid clock is being input, but is not synchronized with the clock source selected in 1. If an external device is connected to the corresponding connector, input/output cannot occur correctly between that device and the DSP5D.
• DITHER This indicates the number of bits for which dithering will be applied to the input signal, in units of two channels. When you click this with the mouse, a popup will appear, allowing you to select either OFF, 16 bit, 20 bit or 24 bit. Select the desired number of bits for dithering.
Oscillator window In this window of the editor you can edit and view the DSP5D’s oscillator status. Choose [Windows] → [Monitor] → [Oscillator] to access this window. PM5D Editor does not have a corresponding window. 1 2 3 For SINE WAVE 2CH For PINK NOISE For BURST NOISE A OSC ON/OFF (oscillator on/off) This switches the oscillator on/off. B OSC MODE (oscillator mode) Here you can select from the following choices of waveform or noise that the oscillator will produce. SINE WAVE 1CH .......
• HPF (high pass filter) / LPF (low pass filter) Here you can make settings for the HPF/LPF that will process the pink noise or burst noise. The upper knob sets the cutoff frequency (20 Hz–20 kHz), and the lower button turns it on/off. • WIDTH/INTERVAL If burst noise is selected, these specify the length of the actual noise (WIDTH), and the length of the silent interval between noise bursts (INTERVAL). The range for WIDTH is 0.1–10 sec, and the range for INTERVAL is 1–30 seconds.
Cue/Solo window In this window of the editor you can edit and view the cue and solo status of the PM5D/DSP5D. Choose [Windows] → [Monitor] → [Cue/Solo] to access this window. 4 5 6 1 2 9 3 K L 7 8 J A SOLO ON/OFF This button selects either CUE MODE or SOLO mode as the monitoring method when the [CUE] key is used. If you turn this button on, a confirmation message will appear. Each mode operates as follows.
• LAST CUE mode Only the channel or DCA group that was most recently selected by its [CUE] key will be monitored. C CUE FUNCTION Here you can turn various cue-related functions on/off. The following functions are available. • MIX CUE LINK This specifies whether cue operation will be linked with MIX channel selection. If this button is on, pressing the already-selected [MIX] key in the panel ENCODER MODE section will simultaneously cause the [CUE] key of that channel to light.
H OUTPUT SOLO SAFE Here you can select the output channels that will be excluded from solo operations (multiple selections are allowed). These buttons correspond to the following output channels. MIX 1–24 MATRIX 1–8 STEREO A/B SET ALL CLEAR ALL HINT MIX channels 1–24 MATRIX channels 1–8 STEREO A/B channels Activates solo safe for all output channels Defeats solo safe for all output channels Solo safe settings and cue on/off settings are linked for two paired channels.
Port Trim window PM5D Editor does not have a corresponding window. Here you can make fine adjustments to the AD input/output gain. As necessary, make fine adjustments to the gain of the specified analog input/output port. You can adjust this in 0.1 dB units for input ports, and in 0.01 dB units for output ports. When the unit is shipped from the factory, the input levels of each port are set to match, so there is normally no need to adjust this.
