Re: yamaha dm1000 vcm
From the manual I found online, the USB is only for MIDI and what Yamaha calls Remote Control, acting as a Pro Tools or Nuendo control surface. It also allows MMC control. For the Remote Control, you need a program called Software Manager which is pretty ancient...I don't know if it will even run on modern computers.
The rest of the MIDI is for calling up scene changes and direct control of mixer parameters over MIDI. I suppose it would allow recording mixer moves into a sequencer for later recall. The VCM means it has Yamaha's modeled DSP effects, which if they are anything what was in my Motif XF are really good sounding.
If you were hoping for audio over USB, apparently not. Yamaha was still using Firewire for audio in those days.

I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.
