MIDI Remote

The MIDI Remote function allows you to control other MIDI equipment from the 03D.

Connection can be made using MIDI IN/OUT or the TO HOST connection. Remote

equipment can be controlled using the 03D faders, [ON] buttons, cursor buttons, and

PARAMETER wheel.

The following MIDI equipment can be controlled from the 03D.

• Digital mixers—Yamaha Programmable Mixer 01, 02R, 03D

• Digital effects processors—Yamaha ProR3, REV500

• GM tone generator

• XG tone generator

• Pro Tools

• User deﬁned (user deﬁned MIDI commands)

Up to four display pages can be conﬁgured for use with the above.

Connecting for Remote Control

The following illustration is an example of how equipment can be connected to the 03D

for remote control operation.
