Combining a stand-alone digital mixing console and DAWcontrol surface/interface into a single unit, the Yamaha 01Xinherits DSP technology used in the DM2000, 02R96, DM1000and 01V96, yielding massive power and flexibility at a verycompetitive price. The first product to feature secondgeneration mLAN connectivity, all audio and MIDI networkingis reduced to a single FireWire cable.

01X has extensive remote capabilities. Its comprehensive toppanel (featuring 9 motorised faders) combined with mLAN’sextremely low latency makes it the ideal hardware controllerfor many popular DAWs, sequencers and synthesisers.

With 8 built-in mic preamps (2 on XLR with +48V phantompower), dynamics and effects comparable to those in theDM1000 and 01V96, and 8 high quality 24-bit/96kHz ADconverters, 01X is a fantastic stand-alone digital mixer forsmall-scale live and studio applications. For larger events, 01Xis expandable to 24 inputs via mLAN.

01X will also function independently as an AD converter,effects processor and multi-port MIDI interface. And combinedwith Yamaha’s Studio Manager software, it is the perfectremote partner for the DM2000, 02R96, DM1000 and 01V96,allowing manipulation of console configurations on the move.

APPLICATIONS

mLAN EXPLAINED

• Studio recording and post-production - with the ability to take direct controlover track-arming, transport control, plug-in editing, mixing, window selection,and more, the 01X is ideal as a multi-function hardware control surface in anycomputer-based music production suite. And with 8 high quality 24-bit/96kHzAD converters, it doubles as an AD interface for DAWs and HDRs • Live mixing - the 01X has 28 mixing channels, comprehensive dynamics, EQand effects processing, 8 mic/line inputs (2 on XLR with +48 phantom powerand one sharing a hi-z guitar input) and total scene recall which make lightwork of small-scale live mixing tasks • Remote tool - 01X can be used for fastand intuitive manipulation of Studio Manager configurations, which can then besaved and uploaded to other Yamaha digital mixing consoles.

mLAN is the integration of audio and MIDI bi-directional transfer over a singleFireWire (IEEE 1394) cable. Up to 63 mLAN compatible products may beconnected together in any order, and as mLAN ports are hot-pluggable, there isno need to power-down or reset any devices. mLAN is extremely useful incomputer-based music production, although compatible products may beconnected together without a computer - ideal for live performance situations.The format is supported by Windows XP and at OS level for Mac OSX platforms.There are also ASIO and WDM multi-client drivers available for the PC platform.

Although mLAN has been developed by Yamaha, over40 other manufacturers have signed on as licensees,many with products already in the market.

All Yamaha digital mixing consoles and controllers are supplied with the Studio Managerapplication for both Macintosh and Windows platforms. The application serves as acommon medium for exchanging mix data between the products. Giving complete access toall mix parameters and many other functions, its visual interface makes it easy to relateon-screen controls to the corresponding console controls. Studio Manager can beconnected to the console and used on-line, giving the engineer total control flexibility. It can also be configured off-line - ideal for the engineer on the move as a complete setupcan be made at any time and then uploaded to the console when it is convenient. Finally, Studio Manager can also be used to manage an extensive archive of mix data,should the on-board scene memory of the console ever reach capacity.

Sharing an identical footprint to the original 02R, the new 02R96 deliversimproved mic preamps and AD/DA conversion, higher sampling rates,complete surround sound management, and DAW control. In fact with morethan five times the processing power of its illustrious predecessor, thenew 02R96 is perhaps better thought of as a scaled-down DM2000 ratherthan an upgraded 02R.

Primarily aimed at commercial sound, music production and post-production, every aspect of the 02R96 is designed to serve today’sadvanced production needs. With an impressive feature set including 56mixing channels, and 8 buses and auxes, 02R96 also houses a huge range ofinternal effects and dynamics that drastically cut down the need for largeamounts of out-board gear. 4 internal effects processors may be usedsimultaneously at 96kHz and, like the DM2000, 02R96 provides everythingneeded for 5.1 surround processing, panning and monitoring (6.1 supportwill be available following a September 2003 software upgrade).

Flexible synchronisation options including full SMPTE timecode supportmake working to video in post facilities a simple task. And a remote layer(with presets for Pro Tools and Nuendo) provides total control over a hugerange of digital audio workstations.

The 02R96 is also well equipped to handle the varied and numerous inputsources typical of live sound applications and where more I/O is needed,the mixer is easily expandable via its cascade link.

For total production control, the DM2000 combines massiveprocessing power, comprehensive workstation control andpowerful surround sound facilities. With a huge I/Ocapability and 96 mixing channels, it’s equipped to handlemost medium to large-scale recording, post and broadcastapplications. High quality mic preamps, followed by pristine24-bit/96kHz AD conversion translates audio flawlessly intothe digital domain where full surround processing facilities(including multiple stem mix monitoring), up to 8simultaneous 32-bit/96kHz on-board effects and anextensive dynamics section are provided, with flexiblesignal routing to take the audio wherever it is needed.

Designed to be the nerve centre of any audio installation, 4remote layers combine with a full complement of auto mix,transport, locate, track arming and user defined keys toensure that virtually any other audio hardware / softwarewith a remote port can be controlled from the DM2000control surface. And with automation and scene control, theDM2000 can be controlled externally.

The DM2000’s real I/O versatility is in the form of 6 Mini-YGDAI, 24-bit/96kHz-compatible expansion slots whichaccommodate a comprehensive range of analogue anddigital formats.
