PM5D V1.

PM5D system software V1.20 includes the following changes and additions relative to V1.04 (changes up to V1.12 are also included).

off in the Name display (from V1.05)
A “CHANNEL NAME NUMERIC DISPLAY” field has been
added to the PREFERENCE 2 screen. In V1.04 and earlier,
operating the fader or encoder (pan setting) of each chan-
nel caused the name display to show the value of that
parameter. In V1.05 and later, turning the “ENCODER
VALUE” and “FADER VALUE” options off will prevent the
respective parameter value from appearing when you oper-
ate the fader or encoder.

DCA group name Recall Safe and Selec-

tive Recall can be switched on/off (from
V1.05)
A new WITH NAME button has been added to the DCA
area of the RECALL SAFE screen and SELECTIVE RECALL
screen. This allows you to exclude just the DCA group name
from DCA group Recall Safe and Selective Recall. If the

earlier, you could simultaneously select one source from
[2TR A1]–[2TR D3] or [DEFINE] and one source from
[STEREO A]/[STEREO B] (including LCR), for a maxi-
mum total of two sources. In V1.05 and later, turning on
one key will turn off the other keys, allowing you to select a
single monitor source more rapidly. If you want to select
two sources simultaneously (as in V1.04 and earlier), press
the corresponding panel keys simultaneously, or use the
MONITOR screen.

future from the Waves Corporation. For details on opera-
tion, refer to the owner’s manual for the Y96K.
Please note that the Y96K card will operate as follows.
• Data will be stored/recalled as scene data, but the Undo
function is not supported.
• If you power-off and then power-on the PM5D, con-
ventional scene data will be in the same state as when
you powered-off, but the Y96K will be in the state that
was last stored or recalled.
• If you recall a scene that produces a major change in the
settings of the Y96K, the settings of the Y96K will change
several seconds after recall occurs on the PM5D. If you
want the timing of the change to be synchronized, use
the FADE TIME screen to specify a START OFFSET.
• Do not perform scene store/recall operations in the
Y96K’s update waiting screen. If you do so, the screen
will become inoperable for up to 30 seconds.

the display will turn on, and the monitor signal of the DME
series unit will be sent to the PM5D’s CUE bus. In conjunction with Y96K card support, compatibility of
scene data (ALL DATA, SCENE MEMORY, SCENE MEM-
ORY with LINKED LIBRARY) has been changed as follows.
Scene data created with system software V1.10 or later can-
not be loaded into a system running V1.04 or earlier.
However, scene data created on a system running V1.04 or
earlier can be loaded into a system running V1.10 or later.
In this case, the Y96K settings will remain as they were prior
to loading. If you save this data on a system running V1.10
or later, the data size will increase by the amount required
for Y96K support.

A note regarding scenes/libraries imme-

Much faster DME control (from V1.20)

The speed of remote control operation of the DME64N/24N
(firmware version 2.0 or later) has been increased.
(In particular, speed is increased when a connection is made
via an MY16-C or MY16-CII card.)
The speed of remote control operation of the DME8i-C/
8o-C/4io-C has also been increased.

Newly added bulk dump data types

The following data types can now be handled by bulk dump.
