• USB port

This port is used to connect a computer and transfer MIDI messages. This is a multiport
interface that transmits and receives up to eight-port data (16 channels x 8 ports). If you
connect a computer to the USB port, you must install the appropriate driver software on
the computer. See the Studio Manager Installation Guide for more information on install-
ing drivers.
Note: If the computer is turned on but the USB MIDI application has not been launched,
DM1000 performance may be slow. In this case, cancel the assignment of the USB port as the
MIDI message transmission port.
• REMOTE connector
This connector normally enables you to remotely control a Yamaha AD824 or a device that
supports Sony P2 protocol, or to make a cascade connection with another DM1000. It also
enables you to transfer MIDI messages.
To transfer MIDI messages, you need to set the parameters in the GENERAL section on the
Setup | MIDI/Host page to "MIDI" (see "Tx PORT").
Note that a connection between the REMOTE connector and a computer's COMM port
does not transfer MIDI messages.
• SLOT 1
If an optional "MY8-mLAN" I/O card is installed in Slot #1, MIDI data transfer to and from
an external MIDI device is available via the MY8-mLAN card. Up to eight-port MIDI data
(16 channels x 8 ports) can be transmitted and received.
