About the “PM1D Manager for Windows operating manual”
PM1D Manager for Windows (subsequently referred to
as “PM1D Manager”) is an application program that
runs on a computer running Microsoft Windows (subse-
quently referred to as the “PC”), providing the same
operating environment as the software of the CS1D
(subsequently referred to as the “console”).
By using PM1D Manager, you can create various types of
settings even when you are away from the console, and
use a memory card (*) or other means to load settings
into the console at a later time. In addition, you can con-
nect the console/engine (DSP1D-EX {DSP1D}) to your
PC, and use it to control the entire system in the same
way as from the console.
This manual explains only items that are specific to
PM1D Manager; how to install the program, how to
connect your PC to the console/engine, and functional
limitations of operations from the PC.
For details on basic operation in each screen, please refer
to the “CS1D Reference Manual (Software)” contained
in the CS1D Owner’s Manual.
For details on terminology and basic operation for Win-
dows, please refer to the manual or Help files included
with Windows.
*For details on the memory cards that can be used, refer to
CS1D Operation Manual (Basic Operation)” p.144, and
CS1D Reference Manual (Hardware)” p.80 contained in
the CS1D Owner’s Manual.

Distinguishing between the controls of the console
and the knobs/buttons of the software

encoders) are enclosed in square brackets [ ] in order
to distinguish them from the knobs and buttons that
are displayed by the software.
Example: This is the same function as the DIRECT
RECALL [1]–[12] switches in the SCENE MEM-
ORY block of the console.
