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.

- 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.

Program Select Mode - 7

Recalling a program

NOTE

Press the [ PROGRAM ] key to enter Program Select Mode. The LED on the key will light and the LCD will display the title of the current program.

Select a new program by rotating the DATA ENTRY encoder or by pressing the [ ^ ] or [ % ] CURSOR keys.

Pressing and holding any of the CURSOR keys causes the key to repeat

The title of the new program is displayed on the LCD along with the flashing "[RECALL]" message. The program number will flash on the PROGRAM LED.

If the FB (feedback), MOD (modulation), or DUCK parameters are active for the selected program, the LED in the respective PARAMETER key will flash along with the program number.

D5000

8 - Program Select Mode

Press the [ > ] "RECALL" CURSOR key. If you have not made any changes to the previous settings, it will be replaced with the new

program.

If you made a mistake selecting the new program or you decide you do not want to replace the current program, you can cancel the RECALL operation by pressing any key except the [ > ] "RECALL" CURSOR key.

Storing a program

If you have made changes to the previous settings without storing them, the unit will additionally display the message "Are you sure?" on the LCD. Press the [ > ] "RECALL" CURSOR key again to complete your selection. The previous program will be replaced with the new program.

Press the [ PROGRAM ] key to enter Program Select Mode. The LED on the key will light and the LCD will display the title of the current program.

Press the [ < ] "STORE" CURSOR key. The message "[STORE]" will be displayed on the LCD along with a message showing the "From:" and "To:" program numbers.

NOTE

If the SOFTWARE PROTECT parameter of Utility Mode is not set to OFF, the LCD will temporarily display the message "

Protected !" when you attempt to store a program.

Rotate the DATA ENTRY encoder or press the [ ^ ] and [ % ] CURSOR keys to select the program number that you want for use to storing your settings.

Press the [ < ] "STORE" CURSOR key again to confirm that this is what you want to do. The message "Complete !" will briefly appear on the LCD.

Storing a program overwrites the data that was previously stored under that program number. If you decide that you do not want to replace the program or that you made a mistake selecting the program number, you can cancel the STORE operation by pressing any key other than the [ < ] "STORE" CURSOR key.

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.

SECOND SINGLE (~ 10400.00 ms) or DUAL (~ 5200.00 ms). DISTANCE SINGLE (~ 3536.000 m) or DUAL (~ 1768.000 m).

24FRAME SINGLE (~ 10s9f48b) or DUAL (~ 5s4f64b). LVL (0 ~ 100%) Set the level of the delay tap. 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.

Page 2: Setting input mode, display unit, output level, and high and low pass filters

This page is used to set the overall output level for your delay. You can also apply low and high pass filters to the effect as well as set the input mode and display units.

Press the [ DELAY ] key again to select the second display page.

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