02R Project-Manager V1.03


Fragen & Antworten

(Beispiel-Page)

What is 02R Project Manager?
The 02R Project Manager program provides editing, librarian and remote-control functions for the Yamaha 02R Digital Recording Console. Parameters can be displayed and edited using an Apple Macintosh computer and the 02R's internal data can be saved along with other Project Manager data directly to any Macintosh disk drives.
Project Manager also allows the Macintosh keyboard to be used for entering file names and dedicated key commands can be used to provide quick control of some 02R functions, such as the Automix Transport.

What is the minimum computer CPU requirement for running 02R Project Manager?
The recommended minimum computer system is a Macintosh OS computer using a 33-MHz 68030 microprocessor or better. It may be possible to run 02R Project Manager on a less powerful Macintosh, but the program has not been tested on any computer below the Apple PowerBook 150. Of course, performance will be improved by using a faster computer such as a Quadra or a PowerMac.

How much RAM does 02R Project Manager need?
A minimum of 6600K of RAM is required, so it can be used on a computer with only 8MB of RAM if a very minimal system is being used. For example, if Macintosh System 7.1 is being used and all extensions are inactive, it should be possible to run Project Manager on a computer with only 8MB of RAM. In this case, it would probably not be possible to use any additional Plug-ins, though.
However, it is recommended that Project Manager should be allocated at least 7000K of RAM to ensure reliable performance, so normally a Macintosh with at least 10MB of RAM is recommended.

What are the other computer system requirements?
02R Project Manager requires a minimum 640 by 480 monitor resolution. The monitor can be monochrome or a 256 color display can be used. Additionally, approximately 5.5MB of hard disk space will be required.

Is 02R Project Manager a native PowerPC program?
The program is not PowerPC native but it is compatible with PowerMacs and other Mac OS computers utilizing the PowerPC microprocessor.

Is there a Windows version available?
02R Project Manager is only available for use with Macintosh operating system computers. Third-party developers are working on Windows software to support the 02R. Further information about such third-party developments is expected to appear in this section in the future.

Can 02R Project Manager be used while another program is also running on the same Macintosh - for example, a MIDI sequencer?
Yes. Opcode's OMS system extension should be used in this case to ensure that Project Manager continues to receive incoming data from the 02R while the other program is active. OMS can be downloaded from the Opcode Web site.
Reminder: Project Manager does not communicate with the 02R via MIDI. Make sure that the serial port being used by Project Manager (modem or printer) is not assigned to be used for MIDI in the OMS Setup.

Can 02R Project Manager be used to simultaneously control more than one 02R?
No. 02R Project Manager V1.0 will only control one 02R at a time.

Will there be future software upgrades to 02R Project Manager?
Currently, Yamaha does not have any plans for upgrades to 02R Project Manager. However, Plug-ins for 02R Project Manager are being developed by a third-party company. These plug-ins will be commercially available from Zeep.com.

Can the 02R's Communication Speed be set to *2 or *4 the nominal speed?
02R Project Manager V1.0 functions at the nominal speed of 38.4K baud. The Communication Speed in the 02R's Automix Main screen should be set to *1 before launching Project Manager.

Why do the Communication Speed parameters 'gray-out' when Project Manager is launched?


This indicates that the 02R is in Host Communications mode being controlled by 02R Project Manager. These parameters will normally remain "grayed-out" after Project Manager has been quit, until the 02R is turned off and back on again.

Sometimes certain operations function very slowly - some windows can take several seconds to open. What causes this?


This can happen if 02R Project Manager is used on a computer with a screensaver functioning. If you return to Project Manager after a screensaver has been active, some aspects of the program may be very slow or sluggish in operation.
It is recommended that Project Manager should not be used with screensavers. If you must use a screensaver, then go to the I/O Test when you return to Project Manager and do not begin using the program until "02R: ... On Line ..." flashes in the display.

How does the built-in Help system work? Why isn't it working in my system?


Project Manager's Help system allows you to shift-click on virtually any text in any Project Manager window to open associated Help files which describe functions of the program and the 02R itself. These files are contained in Disk 2 of the set of 02R Project Manager disks.
When extracting (decompressing) Disk 2, select the 02R Project Manager V1.0 folder as the destination (refer to section 2.1 in the manual). This will result in a folder named "Help Folder" being stored alongside the Project Manager application. If this folder is moved or renamed, the built-in Help system won't function.
Reminder: if you upgrade to a newer version of 02R Project Manager, move your Help Folder into the new Project Manager folder.

What changes are there in V1.01 and V1.02 of 02R Project Manager?
V1.01 contains one small bug fix which will only affect a small number of 02R users. This bug relates to problems opening the Channel Library screen by clicking on its button in the main screen. If you are not able to open the Channel Library by clicking on this button, but you can open the Channel Library by pressing C on the keyboard, V1.01 will correct this problem.
V1.02 contains a slightly more important bug fix. In earlier versions of the program, it is possible that some channel display information in the Automix Event Extract screen can become incorrect in rare circumstances. This has been corrected in V1.02.
