Thank you for choosing a Yamaha DME8i-ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES Digital Mixing Engine Satellite. In order to take full advantage of the features and performance provided by the DME8i-ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES, we urge you to read this owner’s manual thoroughly before connecting or using the unit. Keep this manual in a safe place for future ref- erence.
Introduction to the DME Satellite Differences between DME8i-ES, DME8o-ES, and DME4io-ES The differences between these three models are as follows: ■ DME8i-ES This model features 8-channel analog inputs. ■ DME8o-ES This model features 8-channel analog outputs. ■ DME4io-ES This model features 4-channel analog inputs and 4-channel analog outputs.
One DME Satellite unit has a number of configurations, and a configuration has a number of preset parameters. User Defined buttons (User Defined parameters) Assigning parameters to be User Defined parameters enables you to control the device from the ICP1 and the DME64N/DME24N. Refer to the “DME Designer Owner’s Manual” for details. DME8i-ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES Owner’s Manual...

When using a DME Satellite together with the DME64N/24N, you must assign the DME Satellite (including the DME8i-C/ DME8o-C/DME4io-C) as the master. If you assign the DM64N/24N as the device group master, you will be unable to synchronize using DME Designer. Network Address Host Address DME8i-ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES Owner’s Manual...
Since the DME Satellite supports Auto MDI/MDI-X, it will automatically detect whether the connected cable is of the straight type or crossover type, and will configure itself to create the optimal connection. Therefore, you can use either a straight or crossover cable. DME8i-ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES Owner’s Manual DME Satellite Ethernet Cable...

When a scene recall operation is carried out via DME Designer, corresponding MIDI Bank Select MSB/LSB and Program Change messages are also transmitted by the DME8i-ES/DME8o-ES/ DME4io-ES as specified by the “MIDI Program Change Table” as- signments. Transmission does not occur while configurations are being switched.
Receive When the “Parameter Change Rx Switch” is On, Parameter Change messages are received on the MIDI channel specified by the “Device ID (Rx Ch)” parameter. DME8i-ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES Owner’s Manual Control Change Control Change No. 0 (Bank Select MSB) Control Value (Bank Select MSB No.)

(The “MIDI Control Change Table” and “MIDI Parameter Change Table” can be set up via DME Designer.) Multiple messages can be assigned to a single parameter, but the DME8i-ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES will only transmit one of the System Exclusive Message assigned messages.
Execute the “Initialize DME” operation, then restart it. If the error indicators are still indicating the error, execute the “Delete All Data” initialization. If the problem persists, contact a Yamaha dealer. The firmware update operation may have failed. Use DME Designer to execute the Recovery update operation.
