Yamaha studio manager and ls9 error


Benyy

Recommended Posts

I can't seem to get my LS9 to talk to my yamaha studio manager. I've done everything but I still seem to get a 1460 timeout error when I try to Recall in studio manager? Any ideas?

What setup are you using with the desk?

Cat 5 multicore with digi stage box?

 

From laptop windows 7 via netgear router to the ls9

 

Also I found the ls9 on the DME-N network driver and set it all up just wont work when I go to recall on sm

Few things to check here.

Check you are on V1.20 of the LS9 Firmware. (Check in System settings on the console, next to the LCD controls). Also check that your laptop is hooking up into the right place, and that the LS9 and laptop share the same gateway. Suggested by Yamaha is to use the IP 192.168.0.3 for the laptop and 192.168.0.128 for the LS9, with the gateway as 192.168.0.1 for both (when directly cabling). I suggest you try that first, then add in the router after.

When I tryed without the router the DME-N wasent even picking up the ls9. That's why I tryed with a router, then when I put the router in the DME-N network driver picked it up. But I will try again thanks

when going straight to the desk from computer you need a crossover cable.

 

if I remember rightly someone from yamaha told me this is true for m7s but the ls9 is clever enough to handle both cross over and normal cables.

Networking & Wireless Networking with LS9 & Windows XP

 

DME NETWORK DRIVER SETUP

- Confirm that “DME-N Network Driver”, “Studio Manager”, & “LS9 Editor” are installed on your PC.

- Click on “Start” menu and then click on “Control Panel”

- Double click on the “DME Network Driver”

- Click on “New” button (The middle section should allow for data to be entered).

- Enter “Device Name” (i.e., “LS9”)

- Enter “Device IP Address” (Go to LS9 “Setup” screen. Use the same “IP Address” shown there)

- Enter “Device MAC Address” (Go to LS9 “Setup” screen. Use the same “MAC Address” shown there)

- Select “Device Port No.” as “1”

- Click “Apply” then click “Save and Close”

 

NETWORK SETUP

- Click on “Start” menu and then click on “Control Panel”

- Double click on “Network Connections”

- Right click on “Local Area Connection” and then click on “Properties”

[For wireless networking right click on “Wireless Network Connection” & follow same steps below]

- Select “General” tab, scroll to and click on “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”

- Select “Use the following IP Address” and enter a Static IP Address [NOTE 1]

(i.e., 192.168.0.130) ***DO NOT USE THE SAME NUMBER AS THE CONSOLE*** [NOTE 2]

 

- Set the Subnet Mask (i.e. 255.255.255.0) and click on “OK”

***YOU WILL USE THE NUMBER PROVIDED ON THE CONSOLE***

 

- Click “OK” on “Local Area Connection Properties” box

[For wireless networking click “OK” on “Wireless Network Connection Properties” box]

- Click “OK” on “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” box

- Close “Network Connections” box

- Restart Computer [not always necessary]

- Turn off all Firewalls. (i.e., Norton, Symantec, etc… & Turn off Windows Firewall. [not always necessary]

 

STUDIO MANAGER SETUP (steps with * may need to be repeated each time Studio Manager is launched)

* Launch Studio Manager

- Select “File”, then “Setup” then “Modify Workspace”

- Add “LS9” from “Device Editor” to the “Workspace” [NOTE 3]

* Select “MIDI Ports” and “check” identical (the same) “Input Port” & “Output Port” & click “Apply” [NOTE 3]

* Click “OK” on the “Setup for …” box

* Double-click on the LS9 Icon and open LS9 Editor

* Click on “File” and select “System Set Up”

* Select identical (the same) “Input Port” and “Output Port” [NOTE 3]

* Enter “Administrator Password”, if you have set one, (same as on the LS9) and click “OK” [NOTE 3]

* Click on “Synchronization” and select “Re-Synchronizing”

* Select “Console -> PC” or “PC -> Console” and click “OK”

 

After “Re-Synchronizing” is completed, you should be good to go!

 

NOTE 1: It may be necessary to change this setting back to “Obtain an IP address automatically” in order to later connect to the Internet or certain networks.

 

NOTE 2: If you have already set up your PC for control via a “wired” Ethernet connection or have already set up your PC for wireless connection, you will need to enter a different Static IP Address so the two do not conflict (i.e., 192.168.0.131).

 

NOTE 3: Click “Set Default” to make LS9 default console, other wise you must repeat these steps each time you launch Studio Manager.

 

NOTE REGARDING DIRECT CONNECTION CABLES: You may use either a “Standard” Ethernet cable or a “Crossover” cable for a direct connection between an LS9 and a PC. (NOTE: Some of Yamaha’s other consoles require a crossover cable for direct connection to a PC).

 

NOTE REGARDING ROUTERS: When connecting THROUGH a router, use a “Standard” Ethernet cable to the PC and either a “Standard” or “Crossover” cable to the LS9. Connect these cables to the router outputs ports ONLY (LAN ports). Do NOT connect to the port on the router labeled “Internet” or “WAN”. The steps above are the same whether you use a direct connection or connect through a router.

I wouldn't expect the LS9 or studio manager to either know or care whether it's connected with a wire or a high resistance air gap (wifi). The network connection either works or it doesn't. Precisely how it's connected is irrelevant.

Now I haven't attempted to use it wirelessly... But do you still get asked if you want to sync from hardware or to hardware when doing it wirelessly? Caught me once or twice

 

Yes, and you get asked, and have to re-sync if you lose your WiFi connection. It is much safer to have a hardwire connection and use another device to control the wired computer via VNC or remote desktop. That way a WiFi dropout will not cause a re-sync, which takes some time.

 

I have used a $1 VNC app on my iPad to control SM on my laptop. it is very easy to set up.
