I have a PC connected to the console and everything syncs just fine using the DME driver. I then loaded MidiYoke and restarted. However, when I try to talk to the console with MidiYoke I get a failed to sync message.
Also, I assume that Studio Manager needs to be synchronized with the console before starting SoF because whenever I’ve tried opening the program I get message along the lines of “program failed to initialize”.
I haven’t heard of that problem before. Are you running an x64 version of the software?
Which software? SoF, Midi Yoke, or Windows?
I don’t work with windows that often since I am a Mac guy.
x64 (64-bit) version of Windows.

It’s not x64. Any ideas?
Very strange. What console?
LS9-32. I’ve also made sure that I have the current firmware and current releases of SM and the LS9 editor.
You should be able to just connect your LS-9 to the PC, fire up SM and SOF, then set the midi ports in SM and then in SOF. In a second or 2, SOF should detect the LS-9 (if everything connected properly) and you can then do a synchronize.
What happens exactly when you try this?
One of the problems is that I can’t get SM to talk to the console via the midiyoke. It will connect with the normal DME-Network port then I quit SM and reassign the ports to midiyoke and unchecked everything else it won’t connect.
Also, I’ve never gotten SOF to open at all. This is the error screen I get every time I try to open it.
Am I just completely missing a step? I’ve done my best to follow the instructions included and I’ve even deleted and reinstalled the programs several times, but I can’t figure out the problem.
I didn’t realize that you never got SOF to open.
Take a look at the top of page 2 of the instructions.

:eusa_doh:
Now that I have .Net Framework 4 installed I get a different error message for SOF. It says “Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application.”
Should SM be able to sync with the console with just MidiYoke or is it dependent on SOF? Because I can’t get it to sync with MidiYoke alone and SOF still won’t open.
I’m sure you hate me by now, but thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it.
Man, this is sure been difficult for you. My apologies that it’s not easier.
I don’t know what’s up with .NET 4, but I’m reading that others are having problems with that version. You may have had a corrupted download of .NET 4, or something else.
Since the program only needs .NET 3, maybe try uninstalling .NET 4 (add/remove programs) and download and install .NET 3.5 from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=333325fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6
MidiYoke is a bridge between SOF and SM. You need all these things running and connected and configured properly for SOF to work:
[ul]
[li]The Console
[/li]nr[li]Yamaha’s DME or USB driver
[/li]nr[li]MidiYoke
[/li]nr[li]Studio Manager w/the appropriate editor
[/li]nr[li]Sends on Fader
[/li][/ul]
Let me know how you make out.
Andy, thank you so so much. I finally got everything running correctly. .Net 3.5 was the key to it. After that it was all smooth sailing.
Thanks again for all your help.
Glad you got it going. Enjoy.
