Configuring Windows Computers

1Connect your PC.
The 02R96 can be connected to your Windows PC by connecting the TO HOST SERIAL
port to a suitable RS232 serial port on your PC, or by connecting the TO HOST USB port
to a USB port on your PC. If you use the TO HOST SERIAL port, make sure that the TO
HOST SERIAL parameter on the MIDI/TO HOST Setup page is set to PC-2 (see page 164).
2Install the necessary drivers.
Once your PC is connected, you’ll need to install the TO HOST SERIAL or TO HOST USB
drivers included on the 02R96 CD-ROM.

Configuring Macintosh Computers

1Connect your Mac.
The 02R96 can be connected to your Mac by connecting the TO HOST SERIAL port to
either the Printer or Modem port on your Mac, or by connecting the TO HOST USB port
to a USB port on your Mac. If you use the TO HOST SERIAL port, make sure that the TO
HOST SERIAL parameter on the MIDI/TO HOST Setup page is set to Mac (see page 164).
2Install OMS.
The 02R96 communicates with Pro Tools via OMS (Open Music System) software. If you
already have OMS installed on your Mac, there’s no need to install it again and you can
move on to the next section. If you don’t already have OMS installed, it’s included on the
02R96 CD-ROM. Refer to the OMS documentation included on the 02R96 CD-ROM for
more information on installing.
3Install Yamaha USB MIDI driver 1.04 or later.
If you are using the TO HOST USB port, you must also install the Yamaha USB MIDI driver
included on the 02R96 CD-ROM. See the included documentation for more information.

Configuring the 02R96

1Use the DISPLAY ACCESS [SETUP] button to locate the MIDI/TO HOST Setup
page, and use the DAW parameter to specify the port to which Pro Tools is
connected.
See “MIDI Port Setup” on page 164 for more information.
2Use the DISPLAY ACCESS [REMOTE] button to locate the Remote page, and
set the target to Pro Tools.
See “Assigning a Target to the Remote Layer” on page 189 for more information.
3Use the LAYER [REMOTE] button to select the Remote Layer.
When the Pro Tools Remote Layer is selected, the 02R96’s control surface controls Pro
Tools, not the 02R96. In order to control the 02R96, you need to select an Input Channel
Layer or the Master Layer. Audio mixing on the other Layers and Automix continues while
the Pro Tools Layer is selected.
