What is the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor?

MX49/MX61 Remote Editor is a convenient tool which lets you edit/create Control Templates for the MX49/MX61

Music Synthesizer. These Control Templates let you assign desired functions on your favorite VSTi to the Knobs on

the MX49/MX61. While the MX49/MX61 itself handles up to 50 Control Templates (in a single Bank), the MX49/

MX61 Remote Editor can be used to create and organize multiple Banks, each of which contain 50 Control

Templates. Data of a single Bank containing 50 Control Templates created on the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor can

be transferred from the computer to the MX49/MX61. Also, data of the Bank you are editing (Current Bank) and the

Stored Bank can be saved to the computer as a single file (.X5R).

Data structure of the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor

Within the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor, you can select a file then edit each one of the 50 Control Template

contained in the Current Bank of the selected file. When the MX49/MX61 and the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor are

connected properly via USB, and are in ONLINE status, editing a template on the Editor affects the template of the

Edit buffer on the MX49/MX61 instrument and the data of the Edit buffer syncs the data of Current Bank. After

finishing your edits of the Current Bank, store the data of the Current Bank to the Stored Bank of the current file by

using the [Store] button. This operation also stores the data of the Edit buffer to the User memory of the instrument.

Finally, save the data of the Current Bank and Stored Bank to the computer as a single file by using the “Save” or

“Save As...” menu. The Bank data saved to the file can be recalled when starting the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor

next time. Additionally, desired Templates of the Bank can be imported to another file.

Refer to the illustration below to understand the data structure of the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor.

The MX49/MX61 Remote Editor is a software program contained in the MX49/MX61 Remote Tools. After

installing the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor and related applications by following the Installation Guide of the

MX49/MX61 Remote Tools, follow the instructions below. Before starting, make sure that Yamaha Steinberg

USB Driver is installed in the computer and that the MX49/MX61 is properly connected to the computer via a

USB cable, as described in “Using a Connected Computer” of the MX49/MX61 Owner’s Manual. There is no

single way to use the many components in the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor. Your editing needs and

preferences may differ; however, the following example gives you a simple step-by-step guide in how to use

the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor.

n On the MX49/MX61, press [UTILITY]  Select “02:MIDI”  press [ENTER]. On this display, set the “MIDI IN/OUT”

parameter to “USB,” then press the [STORE] button to store this Utility setting.

n After completing installation of the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor, start the DAW software once then quit it. This operation is

necessary to scan through the DAW software for obtaining the VSTi-related information. Only DAW software produced

by Steinberg (such as Cubase) can be scanned.

1. Start the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor with the following operations.

Windows

[Start] 

[All Programs]  [Yamaha MX49_MX61 Remote Editor] [MX49_MX61 Remote

Editor]

Mac

[Applications] 

[Yamaha]  [MX49_MX61]  [MX49_MX61 Remote Editor]

The Auto Sync window appears and the settings of two bank’s Control Templates (50 x 2) on the MX49/

MX61 are transferred automatically to the Current Bank and Stored Bank (page 2) of the MX49/MX61

Remote Editor.

n If a “MIDI port is not found” message appears, the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver may not be installed correctly or

the MX49/MX61 may not be properly connected to the computer via a USB cable.

Operation flow from starting the application to closing it

MX49/MX61 Remote Editor Owner’s Manual

After transfer has been successfully completed, the Edit window appears.

n If data transfer in the Auto Sync window fails even when the MX49/MX61 and computer are connected properly,

make sure to set the “MIDI IN/OUT” parameter to “USB” and the Device Number parameter to “1” or “All” in the

Utility MIDI display on the MX49/MX61.

2.Select “Setup” from the [File] menu to call up the Setup window.

3.Confirm that the “MIDI Port” is set to “Yamaha MX49/MX61,” then select the desired DAW

software from the “DAW Select” column.

If the MX49/MX61 and the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor are connected properly via USB, you can confirm

that the “MIDI Port” is set to “Yamaha MX49/MX61” when the above window appears. The DAW selection

is necessary for performing the Scan operation (“VSTi Database” menu in the [File] menu) and obtaining

the VSTi-related information.

Operation flow from starting the application to closing it

MX49/MX61 Remote Editor Owner’s Manual

4.Click [OK].

)” and

“Menu (

page 10

).”

When the ONLINE status is turned on, setting the parameters on the MX49/MX61

Remote Editor affects the settings of the same parameters on the MX49/MX61 in real time. This gives you

a convenient and useful way to edit while actually controlling the VSTi.

9.When you are satisfied with the Control Template you’ve edited, click [STORE] at the top

right of the window to store the Template setting to the Stored Bank of the currently

selected file.

The confirmation window is called up. Click [YES] to execute the Store operation. The template is stored

to the Stored Bank and the User Memory of the instrument.

NOTICE

Make sure to execute the [STORE] (page 7) operation before turning off the MX49/MX61 instrument. Otherwise the

edited Template data in the instrument will be lost.

Troubleshooting

Even when I click the triangular button at the right of VSTi Select/Input box in the Edit

window, the VSTi plug-ins registered to the DAW software are not shown as expected.

• The MX49/MX61 Remote Editor may not properly recognize the VSTi registered in the DAW software.

Select [File]  [VSTi Database]  [Full Scan] to search the VSTi information (page 12).

The parameters set on the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor are not displayed on the MX49/

MX61.

• The display on the MX49/MX61 is based on the information sent from Cubase (see the illustration

above). Start Cubase and select the corresponding VSTi within Cubase.

Even when I change the VSTi on the DAW software such as Cubase, the Control

Template on the MX49/MX61 does not change corresponding to the newly selected

VSTi.

• The VSTi-related information is obtained through the Extension software (see the illustration below).

Make sure that the latest MX49/MX61 Extension is installed.

• Make sure that the VSTi name displayed on the DAW software is the same as the one shown in the

VSTi Select/Input box (page 8).

Data transfer between the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor, MX49/MX61 and DAW software:

Turning the Knobs on the MX49/MX61 affects Remote parameters other than those

intended for control.

• In Cubase, remove the checkmarks of “ALL MIDI Inputs” corresponding to MIDI Ports 2 and 5 for the

MX49/MX61 instrument.

Even when I click the triangular button at the right of Control Parameter in the Edit

window, the appropriate Control Parameters are not shown.

• Make sure that the VSTi is correctly selected in the VSTi Select/Input box (page 8). If you have input

the VSTi name directly, make sure that the spelling is correct and the placement of spaces (if any) is

correct. We recommend that you select the VSTi by clicking the triangular button at the right of VSTi

Select/Input box, instead of inputting the VSTi name directly.
