1. PICT file A bitmap graphic file format synonymous with the Macintosh You can create your own backgrounds for the Device window using an application that supports PICT data transfer through the clipboard Program A set of equalizer settings stored in a device Project A convenient way to manage EQ data in a system that contains many equalizers Project file A QS1 file that is used to store Project data RS 232C A serial communication protocol used on PC AT and compatible computers typically a 9 pin or 25 pin DSUB type connection RS 422 A balanced serial communication protocol used on Macintosh computers typically an 8 pin mini DIN type connection Scene A convenient way to manage Program changes Program Change messages can be transmitted to a number of devices simultaneously Transmission can be instigated by double clicking an icon Text Field A rectangular box on a dialog box or window that accepts text input Y 485 A serial communication protocol used by Yamaha digital equalizers Zoom box A small box in the top right hand corner of the active window Clicking it enlarges the window so that all items can be seen Clicking it again resizes the window to its previous size Yamaha QS1 MC Appendix 33 Appendix Keyboard Shortcuts The following keyboard shortcuts can be used to initiate QS1 commands Command N Command O Command W Command S Command L Command I Command Q Projec
2. Paste The Paste command Command V can be used to paste text data from the clipboard Clear The Clear command can be used to delete text data It works the same as the Cut command except that text data is not placed in the clipboard Preferences The Preferences window allows you to make various QS1 settings 1 Choose Preferences from the Edit menu The following window appears S1 Preferences Port Select Master Select Drag Dial Modem Q Device Off Printer Host n Baud Rate Update Mode Confirm 9600 Only Current Always 38400 Current amp All Save amp Fatal Only Fatal O Auto Polling Parameter Link int Absolute con Ee Port Select this parameter is used to select the Macintosh serial port Unless it is being used by another application select the Modem port If you use the Printer port some malfunction may occur Yamaha cannot be held responsible for this Baud Rate this parameter is used to select the baud rate Yamaha QS1 MC Preferences 15 EI EE Auto Polling this parameter is used to turn Auto Polling on and off set the Interval between polling and set the Time Out When Auto Polling is on QS1 checks the status of each device at a rate determined by the Interval parameter The Time Out parameter determines how long QS1 checks a device that is not responding before moving on to another device With a low Interval setting QS1 searches the network frequently
3. In cases where QS1 works incorrectly due to a cable disconnection or equipment power off turn your amplifier s volume down to minimum then power on your equipment in the following order e Devices digital equalizers e Macintosh computer FU485 e Power amplifier Finally restart QS1 and set it up ready for use Quitting QS1 To quit QS1 choose Quit Command Q from the File menu A dialog box may appear prompting you to save your data KEE Yamaha QS1 MC EO Devices 7 Chapter 2 EQ Devices In this chapter we explain about devices and the Option menu commands Whatis a Device A device is a QS1 compatible digital equalizer QS1 is compatible with the following Yamaha digital equalizers DEQ5 DEQSE YDG2030 and YDP2006 Device data is stored in Device files If you have only one or two devices Device files can be used to store data However in a large system with many devices it is better to handle data as a Project In a Project all device data is stored in one Project file Whatis anAddress Each device on the network must be assigned an exclusive address number An address consists of two parts Group ID and Device ID For example device 1 5 indicates device 5 of group 1 Note Make sure that addresses are assigned exclusively OS does not detect shared addresses If two or more devices share the same address operation will be unpredictable The devices Remote Addresses should be assigned unused ad
4. QS1 requests and receives the data from all equalizers The data in QS1 then matches that of the equalizers and subsequent control can be performed from OS When Master Select is Device initial setting the device data is the main data Loading Project data will affect the host data only not the device data EQ adjustments made on the host will affect the device When a Program recall is initiated on the host the host requests the corresponding Program data from the device EQ adjustments and Program recalls initiated on the device are not echoed to the host You can use the Update command in the Option menu to update the host data When Master Select is Host the host data is the main data Loading Project data will affect the host data and the device data Initiating a Program recall on the host sends only a Program Change message to the device See also Master Select on page 30 Update this parameter determines which data is updated when the Update command in the Option menu is used Parameter Link this parameter determines how the left and right channels of an equalizer behave when Parameter Linking is on When Absolute is on adjusted left or right channel controls are set the same When Relative is on channels are controlled relatively Drag Dial this parameter is used to turn the rotary control drag function on and off When set to On rotary equalizer controls on QS1 windows can be dragged When set to Off they cannot You
5. With a high Interval setting it searches the network less frequently If you are editing a lot of data set this to a high value This will make editing operations quicker and more responsive When you ve finished editing set it to a lower value for normal network searching The minimum Interval setting is 100 Note If the Interval setting is too low with QS1 operations being slow and unresponsive a device s icon may become black indicating that the device is inactive even though it is actually active Therefore we recommend that you set the Interval to a relatively high value The Time Out parameter determines how long QS1 waits when a previously active device does not respond during a network search If this is set to a high value when not many devices are connected system start up and network searches take more time However it does allow for correct system status checking The minimum Time Out setting is 3 Taking the Interval and Time Out parameter explanations into account use your discretion to determine the optimum settings for your particular system Master Select this parameter is used to select the control master Device or Host computer Normally the host computer is used as the master controller since that s what QS1 is all about However this parameter can be used when QS1 is introduced into an existing equalizer system and Scene data etc already exists in each equalizer When the master is changed from Device to Host
