21.Now, click OK, to return to the world of the living…
•All the values that have been defined now appear in the Add Parame-
ters dialog and can be assigned to a so called “Formula”.
22.Click in the Formula column for the DevID and enter “DevID”, to set 
this value to a variable called “DevID”.
As there is no “DevID” variable defined yet, you get “error” as a result. 
For now, this can be ignored. We will define the “DevID” variable later.
23.Now you need to set the right...

The dialog should now be set up as follows:
As you may have noticed, the variable “x” is automatically assigned to 
the “Data” value. “x” stands for the value that is represented by this 
parameter and is always defined individually by each parameter. If you 
later assign a control like a fader to this parameter, this fader will con-
trol and modify “x”. “x” is automatically assigned to the last value of the 
message, but can be freely assigned to any other value.

27.Now, let’s look into the Scale Tune 1 node by clicking its plus symbol.
You can now browse the parameters, to verify that the correct MIDI 
messages are transmitted. You can of course also do this for any of 
the other nodes.
28.The next step is to rename the parameters according to the “Scale 
Tune” table of the device’s manual by selecting each of the 12 para-
meters and entering their correct name in the “Name” field.
Now, the parameters should be displayed as follows:...

•If you open any of the other Scale Tune nodes now, you’ll see that the 
names of the parameters have also changed. This is what was meant 
by “alias copies” in the beginning. Furthermore, you will notice that if 
you add a panel to one of the Scale Tune nodes (see page 157), it will 
be added to all of them, which makes it much easier to create panels 
with repeating sections.
29.Now, you need to add parameters to another node, “System Common”. 
In the list to the left, select...

32.Activate the Create Multiple checkbox and enter a range of 0-81, be-
cause the System Common table in the manual of the JV-1080 con-
tains 82 parameters, starting with an index of “0”.
Address1MSB, Address2 and Address 3 are all 0 for all System Common parameters, 
so leave them as they are. Enter “index” in the Formula column for Address4LSB to ad-
dress each of the 82 parameters separately. The dialog should now look like this:

When you click OK, you will notice that 82 new parameters have been 
added to the System Common node.
You can now set the Names, Min, Max and Default values for each of 
the parameters according to the specifications in the System Common 
table, as described earlier.
You should now be familiar enough with the basic procedures to con-
tinue with other parameter settings and adjustments and to finally cre-
ate your own specific devices.

About Studio Connections
Studio Connections is the name of an initiative led by Steinberg and 
Yamaha. The initiative intends to create industry standards for totally in-
tegrated system environments using software and hardware products.
First implementation stage of the Studio Connections open standard 
is the integration and support of Yamaha’s Studio Manager 2 and 
Total Recall for compatible hardware devices.

If you have a SM2 component installed, there is an additional menu 
item in the Devices menu for the Yamaha Studio Manager window.

Total Recall
Total Recall means that you can save and recall all settings of your 
hardware and software products by opening one integrated file in a 
DAW such as Nuendo or Cubase. Also you will have instant and or-
ganized access to hardware editors.
When you load a project or switch to another active project that con-
tains SM2 data, the Total Recall Synchronization dialog appears:
This dialog can also be opened any time from the Studio Manager’s 
Synchronize menu. Click OK...

Virtual MIDI Devices
If you have a new OPT component (e. g. the DM2000) which uses a 
new special interface, you can access these components as virtual 
MIDI Devices in the MIDI track’s out port selection.
When a MIDI Track is routed to such a device, the “Panel” Button 
becomes available.
Click the Panel button…
…to open the editor window for the device.
