Studio Manager via USB.

Q: Cannot install the Yamaha USB MIDI Driver?

A: Try disconnecting the USB cable, and then reconnecting it.
A:
Windows:
Is USB enabled? When your Yamaha mixing
console is connected to your computer for the first time, if
the “Add New Hardware Wizard” doesn’t appear, it may be
because your computer’s USB controller is disabled. To
check this, open the System control panel, click the Device
Manager tab, and check for any crosses (x) or exclamation
points (!) next to the “Universal Serial Bus controllers” and
“USB Root Hub” items. If these items do have these marks
next to them, your USB controller is disabled. For
information on enabling your USB controller, refer to your
computer’s documentation.
A:
Windows:
If for some reason installation of the Yamaha USB
Driver fails, your Yamaha mixing console may be registered
as an unknown device and you may not be able to reinstall
the driver until the unknown device is deleted. In this case,
open the System control panel, click the Device Manager tab,
and select the “View devices by connection” option. If an
item called “Other devices” appears in the list, click it. If
there’s an item called “Unknown device,” select it and then
click the Remove button. Disconnect the USB cable,
reconnect it, and then try reinstalling the driver again.
