Yamaha DM2000VCM Digital Mixer Loader Utility/Firmware 2.40-2

New features:

- Now supports Windows 8.1.

Fixes:

- Fixed a problem that when the DM2000 was used with an MY8-AE96(S) inserted to the slot and a certain channel input signal was unlocked or failed in synchronization, noise was generated to another channel input signal.

Manually installation steps:

 
1. After you download and decompress the upgrading software files, select and copy the file called “dm2k.pgm” to a SmartMedia that was formatted on the DM2000. At this time, do not copy any files other than “dm2k.pgm.”
2. Turn off the power to the DM2000.
3. Insert the SmartMedia (to which you copied the “dm2k.pgm” file) into the CARD slot, then turn on the power to the DM2000.
4. Count down starts and the upgrading process begins. The upgrade takes about 2 minutes. While the upgrade is in progress, do not turn off the DM2000 or remove the SmartMedia.
5. When the message “Completed” appears, and the DM2000 has rebooted itself in normal mode in about five seconds, the upgrade is complete.

Installation steps (using firmware loader):

1. Start the computer and check to see if the following steps are complete.
- Installing the Yamaha USB-MIDI Driver in the computer
- Connecting the computer and the console using a USB cable
- Backing up the data in the user memories in the console
2. While pressing and holding down the [REC] button in the transport section on the DM2000 (or the MACHINE CONTROL [REC] button on the 02R96), turn on the power to the console. Continue holding down the [REC] button until “FLASH UPDATE” appears on the display.
3. Double-click “DMUpgrade.exe” (or “DM2K_patchE” or “02R96_patchE” for Mac OS). The installer window opens.
4. Click [Next]. I/O port setting window opens.
5. Make sure that “YAMAHA USB IN 0-1” is selected for the Input port and that “YAMAHA USB OUT 0-1” is selected for the output port, then click [Next].
A window indicating the installation progress opens, and the system software is installed. The installation process takes a few minutes (10 minutes on Mac OS X). If you are using Mac OS 9, select “DM2000-1 (or 02R96-1)” for the Input port, and “DM2000-1 (or 02R96-1)” for the output port. Note that the port names vary with the OMS setup files.
6. When the installation is complete, the following window opens and the DM2000 reboots itself in normal mode.
