1. Introduction
Thank you for downloading Yamaha ProVisionaire Control PLUS.
ProVisionaire Control PLUS is a Windows application software program that allows you to intuitively create
original, custom control panels.
You can design a custom controller by placing widgets such as sliders, buttons, and photos on a page (screen)
and assigning the parameters of the device you want to control.
By importing the design data for custom control panels, which are created with ProVisionaire Control PLUS, into
the dedicated control application software ProVisionaire Kiosk(*), you can control audio processors (RM-CR),
microphones (RM-CG), digital mixers (DM7, DM3), MusicCast-compatible devices, and more.
*:ProVisionaire Kiosk runs on Windows, iPad, and iPhone.
By combining ProVisionaire Control PLUS and ProVisionaire Kiosk, you can quickly design and control custom
control panels.

1.2. What you can do using ProVisionaire Control PLUS
• You can intuitively place widgets such as sliders, buttons, and photos on the page (screen) to create an
original control panel that suits the contents of your facility and how it will be used.
• The control panel consists of multiple pages, and up to 50 pages can be added. You can create control
panels for each area and user and create design pages that suit the situations in which the spaces will be
used.
You can also restrict access by setting a pass code for each control panel and each design page. This
allows for safe operation on-site.
A maximum of 1024 widgets can be placed on one page.
• A project file for ProVisionaire Control PLUS contains data for multiple control panels. This allows data
from multiple control panels within a building to be managed centrally.
Control panel data can be exported on a controller-by-controller basis as a file for ProVisionaire Kiosk.
• By placing the [System Monitor] widget, you can also check the operating status of the target device.
• Since connection with the system being operated can also occur via Wi-Fi, the tablet PC does not have to
be mounted on the wall; it can be operated while held in the hand, and used as a convenient remote
controller.
• ProVisionaire Kiosk supports multiple major operating systems(*). Therefore, you can use the control
panel data created with ProVisionaire Control PLUS without worrying about the OS type of the device.

displayed when the file is opened in KIOSK.
Files
ProVisionaire Control, and KIOSK use the following files.
•
Project file (extension.pvcppj)
This file contains all the settings of a ProVisionaire Control project. It contains the settings for multiple
controllers, pages, images, and devices to control.
•
Style file (extension.ypvcs)
This is the default style for a project file. It mainly describes information on the appearance of widgets.
•
Controller file (extension.pvksk)

4. Basic process
Using the creation of a simple page as an example, this section explains the process from startup to controlling
a device. In this example, we control the level and on/off for input channel 1 of a DM7 (console ID=1).
In the case of an MRX7-D/DME7, this procedure cannot be used to place a widget; refer to"Adding parameters
and meters from apps other than ProVisionaire Control."
4.1. Start up, and register devices
Here’s how to start ProVisionaire Control, create a controller and page, and register a device to control.
1.
Start ProVisionaire Control.
To start, choose [Start] button → [All Programs] or [All Apps] → [Yamaha ProVisionaire Control PLUS]

In this example, we explain the procedure when you click [New Project] button.
3.
When the “Setup” dialog box appears, click [OK] or [Cancel].
ProVisionaire Control transitions to design mode, and the “New Project Wizard” dialog box opens.
NOTE
In the “Setup” dialog box, when you select a network adapter in “Network” and click [OK], the device will be
recognized by connecting the computer on which ProVisionaire Control is installed to the network.
Register a device by right-clicking on the relevant device in the “Devices” area and selecting [Add].
NOTE
Up to eight network adapters can be selected at the same time.
4. Make settings as appropriate for the screen device used to operate the controller (the screen of the
computer on which Kiosk is installed), and click the [Next] button.
4. Basic process
ProVisionaire Control PLUS V1.0 User Guide | 11
In this example, we keep the default settings.
All settings can be changed later in Properties under Controller.
Tips
If you don’t know the aspect ratio of the screen, select [3:2] and place the widgets accordingly.
Once the aspect ratio has been finalized, reconfigure the screen size in Properties under Controller.
5. Select the Style file to be used when creating the controller and click the [Next] button.
6. Make the following settings, and click the [Add] button.
•
Match Device by
Unit ID: Matches the device by using the Unit ID/Device ID as a key.
IP Address: Matches the device by using the IP address as a key.
•
Count
If “Match Device by” is set to “Unit ID”, you can register multiple devices at once. The devices are
registered sequentially starting from the Unit ID.
The DM7 whose Unit ID is 1 is added to the “Devices” area, and the dialog box closes.

17. Tips
Here are some things that are convenient to know when creating a project.
Q: I want to create multiple widgets of the same design.
A: ① After creating a widget, copy its appearance by clicking [Copy Appearance]. Then, select a placed widget
and execute [Paste Appearance].
A: ② After creating a widget, register it as a style by clicking [Save as Style]. New widgets will be placed with the
same appearance. You can also select a placed widget and execute [Apply Style to Widgets] to change the
appearance of the placed widget to the saved style.
Q: Is there a suggested size for widgets?
A: When you are using a touch panel to operate a widget, design the widget so that it can be reliably touched and
so the knobs and buttons are large enough that they are not completely covered by your finger when you touch
them.
Q: I want to enable screen lock using a button, rather than after a specified length of time.
A: Place a “Page Control Button” widget, and in the “Properties” area, in “Control,” set “Page Control Action” to
[Screen Lock].
To set the image that will be displayed when the screen is locked, go to the Security tab of the “Setup” dialog
box.
Q: I want to hide the work area grid.
A: In page properties, set the [Dot Color] Alpha value to 0.
Q: I want to control a device that’s on a different subnet.
A: When registering the device, use the [Match Device by] list box to select [IP Address], and specify the IP
address. To change a device registered using [Unit ID] to registration by IP address, select the device in the
“Devices” area, then in the “Properties” area’s [Identifier] click “Value” and use the “Edit Device Identifier” dialog
box to make the change.
Q: What should I be aware of when running Kiosk on a computer equipped with a touch panel?
A: If Kiosk is running as full-screen, it will not be possible to perform operations such as shutting down the
computer unless a keyboard is connected. Place a [Page Control] button widget on one of the pages, and in the
“Properties” area, set [Page Control Action] to [Close]. When that button is tapped, the screen for loading a
controller file appears, allowing you to close Kiosk. Additionally, some standard functions such as snap and
shake will not operate.
Q: How can I edit all the channels at once for the parameters to which multiple widgets (buttons, sliders, etc.)
are assigned?
A: When the number of channels is the same for the widgets you have selected, you can edit all the channels at
once in the “Properties” area.
