About scenes The PM5D can store and recall the current state of its mix parameters as a “scene.” Scenes are assigned a scene number of 000–500. Scene 000 is read-only, and cannot be overwritten. Other scene numbers may be rewritten freely.
Page 80: Items In The Scene Memory Section
When you recall a scene in this mode, the mix parameter values of that scene will be shown in the PM5D’s panel, but the internal signal processing will remain as it was before the recall.
Page 81: Using Scene Memories
Before you continue with the following procedure, make sure that the SCENE MEMORY section SCENE MEMORY [PRE- VIEW] key is off (dark). (If it is on, turn it off.) Use the PM5D’s panel controls to set the mix parameters as desired. Use the SCENE MEMORY [π]/[†] keys to select the store-destination scene number.

Preview mode lets you check or edit the settings of a scene stored in memory without affecting the signal processing of the current scene. When you recall a scene in this mode, the settings of the newly recalled scene will appear on the PM5D’s panel, but the internal signal processing will remain as it was prior to the recall.

Page 113: Remote Control
Using program changes to control events The PM5D lets you assign specific events (scene recall / effect library recall) to each MIDI program number, so that the corre- spondingly-numbered program change message will be transmitted to an external device when you execute that event on the PM5D.
Page 114 The MIDI port and MIDI channel used for program change transmission/reception can also be specified from the MIDI SETUP screen ( ➥ p.171). PM5D/PM5D-RH Owner’s Manual In the list at the right side of the screen, dis- play the MIDI channel (bank) and program number to which you want to assign an event, and click that line.
Page 115: Using Control Changes To Control Events
You can use MIDI control change messages to control specified events (fader/encoder operations, key on/off operations etc.) on the PM5D. This capability can be used to record fader and key operations on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play back this data later.
Page 116 Assign events to other control numbers in the same way. When you operate the parameters you assigned on the PM5D, control change messages will be transmitted to external devices. Similarly, if the corresponding control change mes- sages are sent from an external device on the appropriate channel, the parameters assigned to those control numbers will change.

Page 123: Using Gpi (General Purpose Interface)
GPI IN ports and twelve GPI OUT ports. For example you can use an external switch or joystick to control the PM5D’s parameters, or conversely use the PM5D’s keys and faders to send control signals to an external device.
Page 124 Hint The voltage value at which the PM5D detects High or Low level can be adjusted to suit the external controller (except for external switches) you are using ( ➥ p.125).
Page 125: Calibrating The Gpi In Ports
Low and High levels can be adjusted appropriately for the voltage of the signals being input from the GPI IN port. You can use this to set the variable range of a PM5D parameter to match the range of voltage change produced by a continuously-variable controller (such as a joystick).

Page 132: Surround Pan
(To move the surround pan image, you can use the mouse, the CURSOR [√]/[®]/[π]/[†] keys, or the MIX encoders etc.) The PM5D lets you choose from the following three surround modes, depending on the number of channels in your sur- round environment.
Page 133: Bus Configuration And Operation In Surround Mode
Bus conﬁguration and operation in surround mode When any of the three surround modes (3-1ch, 5.1ch, 6.1ch) are selected, the PM5D’s bus configuration and operation will change as follows.
