Studio Manager Version 2 Owner’s Manual
Studio Manager is a cross-platform application that enables you to start multiple Editors that control YAMAHA
hardware products remotely, and to save multiple Editor settings.
You can run Studio Manager as a stand-alone application, or as a plug-in within DAW applications that are compat-
ible with Studio Connections, such as Cubase SX 3.0 or later. In either case, the basic functionality is the same. For
the latest information on compatible DAW applications, refer to the following website.
http://www.studioconnections.org/
The settings of each editor can be saved and recalled together from Studio Manager or the DAW application. In other
words, you can change the settings of your entire system in a single operation by recalling the settings for multiple
devices from Studio Manager or your DAW application.
When you want to save setting files, you can do this from Studio Manager to recall multiple devices at once, or from
an individual Editor to recall only a specific device. When you save your settings in your DAW application, the Studio
Manager settings will also be saved together with the DAW application file, and can also be recalled in the same way.
To use Studio Manager, you must first perform the following operations:
1. Start and configure Studio Manager (see page 3).
2. Start and configure an Editor.
3. Synchronize the application with the corresponding hardware product (see page 5).
For more information on using the Editors, refer to the Owner’s Manual for the Editors.
