2 - Introduction

Introduction

With its high-quality 20-bit sound, the Yamaha D5000 Professional Digital Delay is the perfect
choice for studio and sound reinforcement applications.

It has four types of effect programs: DUAL (stereo) delay, SINGLE (mono) delay, FREEZE record
and playback, and S&H (sample and hold) playback. The large amount of memory allows it to
create delay lines or record samples of up to 10 seconds in duration.

The interface is simple and intuitive, with a large, easily-read LCD, allowing you to quickly
produce exactly the effect you want. It features 100 program locations for storing your favorite
effects for instant recall. For added flexibility, the D5000 can be controlled by MIDI, especially
useful with the FREEZE record and playback effect.

Please read this operation manual carefully in order to familiarize yourself with the D5000 and its
advanced features – and keep the manual in a safe place for later reference.

Precautions

Avoid excessive heat, humidity, dust, and vibration

Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to high temperatures or humidity

- such as near radiators, stoves, in direct sunlight, etc. Avoid locations which are subject to
excessive dirt accumulation. Extreme vibrations can cause mechanical damage.

Avoid physical shocks

Strong physical shocks can damage the unit. Handle it with care.

Do not open the unit, or attempt repairs or modifications yourself

This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer all maintenance to qualified Yamaha service
personnel. Opening the unit and/or tampering with the internal circuitry will void the warranty.

Make sure power is off before making or removing connections

Always turn the power OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting cables. This is important to
prevent damage to the unit itself as well as other connected equipment.

Handle cables carefully

Always plug and unplug cables - including the AC cord - by gripping the connector, not the cord.

Precautions - 3

Clean with a soft dry cloth

Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the unit. Wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.

Always use the correct power source

Make sure that the power source voltage specified on the rear panel matches your local AC mains
supply:

U.S. & Canadian Model: 120V AC, 60 Hz
General Model: 230V AC, 50 Hz
UK Model: 240V AC, 50 Hz

Back-up battery

The unit contains a long-life lithium battery which maintains the contents of the user memory
locations even when the unit is off. With normal use, the battery should last approximately five
years. If the battery voltage falls below a certain level, the message “WARNING LOW BATTERY” will
appear on the screen when the power is turned on. If this occurs, have the battery replaced at a
qualified Yamaha service center.

6 - System structure

System structure

The D5000 has three operational modes:

• Program Select Mode - Use this mode to STORE and RECALL programs.

• Parameter Edit Mode - This mode allows you to edit the various operational parameters,
the DELAY/FREEZE parameters, the FB (feedback) parameters, the MOD (modulation)
parameters, and the DUCK parameters.

The Parameter Edit Mode performs differently according to which program type is active.
DUAL (stereo) and SINGLE (mono) programs are delay programs. You access their
parameters with the [ DELAY ] , [ FB ] , [ MOD ] , and [ DUCK ] keys. The parameters for the
FREEZE and S&H (sample and hold) programs are accessed using the [ DELAY ] key only.

• Utility Mode - Customize the operation of the D5000 by modifying the following
parameters: SOFTWARE PROTECT, PARAMETER DISPLAY, FOOT SW (footswitch)
FUNCTION, MIDI SETUP, MIDI CONTROLLER, MIDI BULK DUMP, PARAMETER
COPY, and REPEAT DELAY (This last parameter is only available when the program type
is DUAL or SINGLE).

D5000

Program Select Mode

About the programs of the D5000

The D5000 has 100 user programs. All of the programs are user-programmable.
There are four types of programs available:

• DUAL (stereo) Delay (refer to the diagram on page 100)
There are two delay units (A-channel and B-channel) and three taps for each unit. Create a
flanger or chorus in perfect stereo, or a ping-pong (channel-to-channel) delay.

• SINGLE (mono) Delay
This is a single delay with six taps. It can support a delay time that is double the length of
a DUAL (stereo) program.

• FREEZE
The input sound can be recorded and then played back in a variety of ways, including
modifying the playback speed, looping, and so on.

• S&H (sample and hold)
Use the [TRIGGER] key or a footswitch to control the sample and hold feature. By pressing
the key or footswitch, you can sample and play-back in sequence.

Yamaha ships the D5000 with preset programs that illustrate the features of each of the four types
of programs. Refer to the list of preset programs on page 30. The preset programs are stored in
program numbers 1 to 00 (100). If you have over-written them, they can be recalled by the simple
operation detailed on page 28.

D5000

Parameter Edit Mode

The D5000 has four types of effect program. The first two are high-quality, multi-tap digital delays,
either DUAL (stereo) or SINGLE (mono). The other two are sampling/playback recorder
programs.

Editing a delay program

To edit a delay program, press one of the PARAMETER keys, [ DELAY ] , [ FB ] , [ MOD ] , or [ DUCK ] .
The first step is usually to select the main delay parameters by pressing the [ DELAY ] key.

The D5000 features multi-tap delays. For a DUAL (stereo) delay, there are two delay units with
three taps per unit. A SINGLE (mono) delay is a single unit with six taps.

Setting the DELAY parameters

There are three display pages which you access by pressing the [ DELAY ] key:

• Page 1: Setting the delay time, level, and pan.

• Page 2: Setting input mode, display units, output level, and high and low pass filters.

• Page 3: Setting the title and controller assignments.

Parameter Edit Mode - 9

Page 1: Setting delay time, level, and pan

You set the main parameters of your delay effect on this page. You select the number of active taps,
the length of the delay, the volume level of each tap, and its channel location in stereo.

The LCD only displays the parameters that are currently active. Use the
[ < ] , [ ^ ] , [ > ] , and [ % ] CURSOR keys to move from parameter to
parameter.

After you have selected a parameter with the CURSOR keys, you can
modify the parameter by rotating the DATA ENTRY encoder.

For example, press the [ % ] CURSOR key to move to the second tap of the
A-channel. Then rotate the DATA ENTRY encoder until the status is set to
"INV".

DELAY parameters

STATUS (OFF/NOR/INV) Select "OFF", positive phase (NOR), or negative phase (INV). When

a tap is set to "OFF", it is inactive.

TIME Set the length of the delay tap. If you change the DISPLAY UNIT

parameter on the next page, the value will be altered to match the
selected unit.

PAN (L16 ~ L=R ~ R16) Set the stereo pan position of the delay tap in one of 33 steps. If

you set the modulation STATUS parameter to "PAN" (see page 13),

this setting will effect it as well.

NOTE

When TEMPO or FRAME is selected, the digits to the right of the decimal place will not be displayed.

Changing the TEMPO parameter

Use one of the following methods to modify the TEMPO parameter:

• Manual Input

Select the parameter with the CURSOR keys, then modify the value by rotating the DATA
ENTRY encoder.

• Tap Input ([TRIGGER] Key or Footswitch)

Set the tempo by tapping two beats on the [TRIGGER] key or by pressing two beats with a
footswitch connected to the TRIGGER Footswitch Jack on the back panel. The D5000 sets
the tempo by counting the interval between the two successive beats.

NOTE

It is not possible to set tap input if the DUCK parameter SOURCE is set to TRIG.KEY.

• MIDI Clock Input

The tempo may be set using the MIDI clock of a connected sequencer, rhythm
programmer, or other device.

This parameter sets the TEMPO, not the delay time. You set the Note parameter for each active tap
when you edit the program. The delay time is then calculated from the TEMPO parameter and the
Note parameter.

NOTE

You can also fine tune the resulting delay TIME, but that value will be discarded any time you modify
the

TEMPO or select another value for the Note parameter.

Ducking/gating the delay

When you set ducking, the delay effect is only applied to the signal when the input level drops
below the threshold you set. If you select the gate, the delay effect is applied to the signal when the
control level exceeds the threshold.

You can also use the [TRIGGER] key or a footswitch, or a MIDI Note Off/On message to trigger the
duck/gate.

DUCK parameters

TYPE (DUCK/GATE) Select the threshold activation level. DUCK means the signal passes

Press the [ DUCK ] key to select DUCK.

Use the [ ^ ] and [ % ] CURSOR keys to move through the various
parameters. Modify the selected parameter by rotating the DATA ENTRY
encoder.

Press the [ DUCK ] key again to enable or disable the DUCK function. The
status message in the top corner of the LCD changes from "ON" to "OFF".

until the input level is above the threshold (or when a MIDI Note
Off message is received). GATE means the signal passes after the
input level is above the threshold (or when a MIDI Note On
message is received).

HOLD (2 ~ 21000 ms) Set the hold time in milliseconds.

THRESHOLD (0 ~ 100%) Select the duck or gate threshold level.

Select the source for the trigger signal. When you select one of the
IN or OUT settings, the duck or gate is effective depending on the
signal level. When TRIG.KEY is set, the [TRIGGER] key or a
footswitch connected to the TRIGGER Footswitch Jack on the back
panel is used to trigger the duck or gate. If MIDInote is selected,
a MIDI Note Off/On message is used as the trigger signal.

Select the target direction.

Duck/gate

The duck/gate can be opened by various triggers. Usually the strength of the input signal is used
as the trigger. If TYPE is set to GATE, when the input signal is higher than a certain level (threshold),
the GATE opens and the signal can pass. As soon as the input signal drops below the threshold, the
GATE closes and the signal is cut. If TYPE is set to DUCK, the signal is cut while the input signal is
higher than the threshold. As soon as the signal drops below the threshold, the DUCK is opened and
the signal can pass.

The threshold is set by the THRESHOLD parameter.

D5000

Hold and release

A short input signal, like the one shown below, would cause the GATE to open (or close in the case

Parameter Edit Mode - 15

of a DUCK) for a very short time. This can sound unnatural, especially if the GATE closes abruptly.
There are two parameters which you can adjust, HOLD and RELEASE. By setting a long HOLD time,
the gate can be kept open even after the signal has dropped below the threshold. The RELEASE
parameter specifies the length of time it takes for the gate to close, causing the signal to gradually
cut off.

Other triggers

The signal level is not the only way to trigger a duck/gate. The [TRIGGER] key or a footswitch
connected to the TRIGGER Footswitch Jack on the back panel, or a MIDI Note On (for GATE) or
Note Off (for DUCK) message can also be used. The HOLD and RELEASE parameters work with any
trigger.

Re-trigger

If the DUCK/GATE is continuously triggered by any of the other sources, it may be kept from
closing. As the GATE responds to a trigger source and will open for the set HOLD time, a trigger
received while the GATE is open will act as a "re-trigger", causing the GATE to remain open.

Editing a sampling/playback program

To edit a sampling/playback program, press the [ DELAY ] key.

FREEZE program

The FREEZE program allows you to sample (digitally record) and playback sounds. You can record
in stereo for a maximum of 5.2 seconds or in mono for a maximum of 10.4 seconds. For playback,
you can adjust the pitch of the sample by up to ± two octaves.

NOTE

You cannot store the recorded sample. Once the power is switched OFF, or if you select another
program, the recorded sample is erased from memory.

There are four display pages:

• Page 1: Setting the recording parameters.

• Page 2: Setting the playback parameters.

• Page 3: Setting the pitch and MIDI note number.

• Page 4: Setting the title and controller assignments.

NOTE

To access the FREEZE program mode, you need to select one of the factory presets with the
PARAMETER COPY command in Utility Mode (refer to the preset list on page 30).

The

[ FB ] , [ MOD ] , and [ DUCK ] keys are inactive when a FREEZE program is loaded. To access

the FREEZE display pages, use the
