Fastrack VS and the Yamaha 03D Audio Mixer
Interconnect Cable
An interconnect cable can be constructed using a PS-2 mouse/keyboard plug and wire and a Serial
RS-422 female connector. This cable connects between the HOST port on the Yamaha O3D and
a serial (male-male) cable attached to the Fastrack serial breakout (or use a male connector if your
cable is long enough to reach the Fastrack serial breakout).
Since the numbering on PS-2 connectors varies or is frequently missing, please refer to the
letter
positions noted here for the PS-2 plug (the 9-pin conforms to standards). Both 9-pin connector
and PS-2 plug are viewed from the "front."
Note: The jumper between the top two pins on the PS-2 plug is essential for status reporting from
the 03D mixer to Fastrack so it can "learn" manual changes to fader levels.
