Yamaha 01X User Manual

Supplementary Manual

Using the 01X with Cubase SX 3

To all 01X users — thank you for your continued use of the Yamaha 01X Digital Mixing Studio!

Since the 01X was ﬁrst released, software programs that can be used with the device have under-

gone revisions. The original Cubase SX is now up to version 3, and the changes in the software

naturally affect how the 01X is used with it. This supplementary manual is a revision of the origi-

nal manual (pages 66 to 83) and has been updated to reﬂect the changes in Cubase SX 3.

NOTE

In these instructions, the 01X with ﬁrmware version 1.03 was used with Cubase SX version 3.1.0.933 running on Windows XP.

Recording/Playback/Remote Control

You’ve seen how the 01X is a full-featured stand-alone mixer and an exceptionally versatile front-end mixer for

recording and mixdown with a computer system. In this section, you’ll discover that it’s also a convenient, compre-

hensive control surface for your audio sequencer or DAW (digital audio workstation).

The 01X gives you tape recorder style transport controls, a wealth of buttons for navigating and controlling your song,

and most importantly, lets you use the faders, knobs and channel buttons ([SEL] buttons and [ON] buttons) for mixing

your sequencer tracks in real time. Full automation — with moving faders — is implemented, and you can even

change and automate EQ and effect settings for each track. In short, the 01X provides a completely transparent hard-

ware link with your computer-based music production.

Templates are included for most major DAW applications and MIDI/audio sequencers, including Cubase SX/SL,

Nuendo, Logic, SONAR, and Digital Performer. Naturally, the Yamaha SQ01 V2 is supported as well.

Throughout this section, we’ve used Cubase SX 3 (running on Windows XP) for the examples, but most or all of these

control features are available for the other supported sequencers as well. If you’re familiar with the concepts and basic

functions covered here, and are aware how they apply to your own particular sequencer, you should have no problem

learning from these instructions, no matter what sequencer you use.

• The example below uses mLAN Auto Connector.

•For Mac OS X users: Even though these instructions cover use of Cubase SX 3 running on Windows XP, operations with Mac OS X are identical, unless indicated otherwise.

•Keep in mind that some of the control features covered here may not be implemented on all of the compatible software programs.

• Remote control is only possible when the version of your particular DAW application and operating system matches the system requirements. For details, see the separate Installation Guide.

• The latest information can be found at the website below.

Setting up

Open or record a song in Cubase SX 3, and as you read

through this section, try out the controls with the song.

(Ideally, the song should have several tracks of audio and/

or MIDI data.)

Install the mLAN driver and connect your computer to the 01X

For details on setting up your computer and DAW applica-

tion for use with the 01X, see the separate Installation

Guide.

Here, we’ll show you how to set up Cubase SX 3 for

mLAN connection with the 01X.

• Remote control setup

Before you can use the 01X with Cubase SX 3, you’ll need

to specify the particular hardware control set that Cubase

recognizes.

q From the Devices menu, select “Device Setup...”

w Click on the “plus” button ( ) at the top left. This

calls up a list of devices that can be used to control

Cubase SX 3.

01X Owner’s Manual (Supplementary Manual)

Recording/Playback/Remote Control

From the pull-down list that appears, select “Yamaha

01X.”

The Yamaha 01X will now be listed in the Remote

Devices folder.

The next step is to specify the MIDI In and Out ports

for remote control operation.

Click on “Yamaha 01X” in the Remote Devices folder,

then click the arrow next to “MIDI Input” and select

the unnumbered mLAN MIDI In port. This corre-

sponds to Port 1, which should be used for the remote

control functions.

• Audio and MIDI setup

Since the mLAN connection serves not only as a control

surface for Cubase SX 3 but also as an audio and MIDI,

you’ll need to make the appropriate audio and MIDI set-

tings in Cubase SX 3. Many of the necessary settings are

automatically made when you run the mLAN Auto Con-

nector (see the separate Installation Guide); this section

covers other important settings made after running Auto

Connector.

Audio setup

From the Devices menu, select “Device Setup...”

Select “VST Audiobay.”

Before UsingBasics SectionAppendix Getting StartedReference

Do the same for the MIDI Output parameter, selecting

the unnumbered mLAN MIDI Out port.

•For details on which mLAN MIDI port numbers are available for the 01X, see page 95.

When ﬁnished, click “Apply” to enter the changes, then

click “OK.”

Enable the 01X for remote control of Cubase SX 3.

Press the [UTILITY] button, then press knob 1 to call

up the REMOTE SELECT page. Press knob 3 to select

CUBASE/NUENDO, then press knob 8 (YES).

Finally, press the [REMOTE] button on the 01X panel

to enable the Remote mode (the button lamp lights).

Keep in mind that, unless indicated otherwise, the

Remote mode should be enabled throughout the

remainder of this section on using the 01X with Cubase

SX 3.

Click the Master ASIO Driver pull-down menu, and

select “ASIO mLAN.”

•For Mac OS X, select “mLAN Network.”

MIDI setup

q From the Devices menu, select “Device Setup...”

w Select “Default MIDI Ports” from the list.

e Set the MIDI Input and Output ports.

Click on the arrow to call up the pull-down menu for

each setting, Input and Output. If you intend to use the

01X as a MIDI interface (with the MIDI A and B termi-

nals on the rear panel), set these to mLAN MIDI Port 2

or 3.

r Click “Apply” to enter the changes.

t Select “All MIDI Inputs” from the list at left.

y In the list at right, disable mLAN MIDI In Ports 1 and

4 - 8, by clicking on “Yes” in the appropriate Active

column box and changing it to “No” (as shown).

•For Mac OS X, disable ports 1, 4, and 5.

01X Owner’s Manual (Supplementary Manual)

Port 1 is the unnumbered selection. Ports 2 and 3

should remain active (“Yes”). Make sure the settings

correspond to the example above.

Setting the Inputs and Outputs

This operation shows you how to make speciﬁc input and

output assignments for the mLAN channels within Cubase

SX 3. Keep in mind that since each song or project can

have a different input/output assignment scheme, this must

be set separately for each song. However, you can also

save each assignment scheme as part of a project template

and then instantly call up the desired template as needed.

For example, you could have eight (or more) channels of

input for band recording, or want to set up separate output

channels for use with external signal processors.

• Inputs

q From the Devices menu, select “VST Connections.”

w Click on the Inputs tab.

Before UsingBasics SectionAppendix Getting StartedReference

e Select the desired Input preset.

Notice that a variety of input conﬁgurations are avail-

able from this preset menu. This is an exceptionally

easy and convenient way to re-conﬁgure the input

assignments for the system. However, if you don’t see

anything here that ﬁts your particular application, you

can easily create your own input setup by using the

“Add Bus” button.

In this example, we’ve selected “8 mono in.” The new

bus conﬁguration should look like this:

r When ﬁnished, click the Close (“X”) box at the top

right.

• When the 01X is set to 96kHz/88.2kHz operation, mLAN output (from 01X to the computer) is limited to 16 channels. In this case, the maximum number of input channels that can be activated is 16.

r When ﬁnished, click the Close (“X”) box at the top

right.

• When you are using WDM and ASIO simultaneously, refer to “Setting in the mLAN Auto Connector” in the separate Installation Guide.

• Outputs

q From the Devices menu, select “VST Connections.”

w Click on the Outputs tab.

e Select the desired Output preset.

As with Inputs above, there are a variety of common

conﬁgurations available from this preset menu. If you

don’t see anything here that ﬁts your particular applica-

tion, you can easily create your own output setup by

using the “Add Bus” button.

In this example, we’ve selected “Stereo out.” The new

bus conﬁguration should look like this:
