Auto Gain Adjustment function

If you adjust the HA gain on the master CS1D (master for HA
control), the attenuation on a slave CS1D can automatically be
adjusted so that the channel output levels will remain
unchanged.

AI8 is controlled. The slave unit is the CS1D (or PM1D Man­ager) connected via a DSP1D that is connected to any port
other than the master. You can switch between the master and
slave.

2. In the upper left of the screen, click the AUTO
GAIN ADJUSTMENT button to enable the func­tion.

The Auto Gain Adjustment function is now enabled.

3. Turn the GAIN ADJ button on or off to switch the
function for each channel on or off.

Note

• Click the SET ALL button to turn on the function for all channels

globally. Click the CLEAR ALL button to turn off the function for
all channels globally.

• In most cases, turn on the Auto Gain Adjustment function only on

the slave CS1D unit. If you turn on the function on the master
CS1D unit, the output level of the master CS1D will also be
adjusted automatically.

• The GAIN ADJ button’s on/off status is not linked even if the cor-

responding two channels are paired. Even if the GAIN ADJ but­ton of either one of the paired channels is turned on, the
attenuators will not be linked.

• When you turn off the GAIN ADJ button for one of the paired

channels, the attenuator value for the even-numbered channel
will change to the value for the odd-numbered channel. In this
case, please note that the volume level might increase more than
expected.

• If the attenuator values are selected as one of the Recall Safe

items, and if the GAIN ADJ button for the recalled scene is set to
on, this function will apply to the recalled HA gain. The Recall
Safe function does not apply to the GAIN ADJ button and AUTO
GAIN ADJUSTMENT button settings. Therefore, you must first
store these button settings in the scenes.

VCM Effects available

Va r ious effects sold as Add-On Effects packages for Yamaha
digital mixing consoles (such as DM2000) are now included as
standard. To use the VCM effects, you must first specify the
number of VCM effects you wish to use to limit the number of
available GEQ modules.

EFFECT

The VCM effects employ Virtual Circuitry Modeling technol­ogy, and include compressors and EQs that model the charac­teristics of analog circuits, OpenDeck, which emulates tape
compression created by open reel tapes; and the REV-X reverb
effect, which is based on a newly-developed algorithm and
provides richly reverberant sound quality with smooth attenu­ation. For more information on the VCM effects, please refer
to the Appendix on page 18.

To use the VCM effects, you must first specify the number of
VCM effects you wish to use in the following DSP CONFIG
screen to limit the number of available GEQ modules.

Available GEQ

Note

• To use VCM effects on a single effect module, you must
disable two GEQ modules.

• If you change this setting, the effect and GEQ output will be tem­porarily muted.

• The disabled GEQ modules still enable you to control the param­eters, but the output will be muted.

• You can recall these new effects in the same way as the existing
effects. That is, you recall the desired effects from the Effect
library.

• Please note that if you mix a signal processed with VCM effects
with a signal that utilizes a different routing, a difference in time
resulting from the different signal paths may cause a comb filter
effect (a phenomena in which the level of some frequencies
decreases).

Channel Move function in the CH
COPY screen

In addition to the CH Copy function in the CH COPY screen,
which copies channels globally, a CH Move function that
moves channels is now available.

CH MOVE button

CH COPY

The CH Move function enables you to move any input or out­put channels to specified channel locations. When the channels
are moved, the channels between the move source and destina­tion channels will move forward or backward accordingly. To
use the CH Move function, you can either use the CH COPY
screen or operate the keys on the top panel.

5. Click the EXECUTE button.

The CH DATA MOVING pop-up window appears, indi­cating the move source and destination channel numbers.

Move source channels Move destination channels

Note

• The move source channel can be a single channel or two
channels that can be paired.

• You can move a single channel under the following conditions:
There are no paired channels between the move source and
destination channels, AND all the following parameters are
turned off: HA GAIN GANG, HA A/B LINK, GATE LINK, COMP
LINK, DELAY GANG, GANG PAN/INV PAN/BALANCE in PAN
MODE, and M/S DECODE.

• If you move two channels, the first channel of the destination
channels will be the first of the two channels that can be paired.
Therefore, moving two channels will never swap between the left
and right channels.

• You can move the channels only within the following channel
sections:
– Input channels 1–96
– Stereo input channels 1–8
– MIX channels 1–48
– STEREO A/B channels
–MATRIX channels 1–24

6. Click the OK button to execute the function.

The channels are now moved to the new locations.

5 MOVE UP/MOVE DOWN

These buttons move the currently-selected event one posi­tion earlier (MOVE UP) or later (MOVE DOWN) in the
event list.

Note

• If the EVENT TRIGGER column of the selected event shows a
time code, these buttons will be grayed-out and unavailable. To
change the order of each event that displays a time code,
change the time code.

DEFAULT EDIT LIBRARY NO.

NEW

OVERWRITE

The lowest unused library numbers will be
selected. (This is the same as the previ­ous software version.)

The number of the most-recently recalled
library will be selected. (If the scene was
specified as read-only, or if the corre­sponding library is write-protected, the
lowest-numbered unused library will be
selected.) This selection is useful when
you wish to prevent a particular library
from becoming full or lacking space dur­ing the Auto Store operation, or when you
wish to edit a particular library.

Note

• This setting is remembered when you close the pop-up
window.

6 Changes in Scene Memories and Libraries

Unit settings can be included in the
Recall Safe channel settings

You can globally apply the Recall Safe function to settings for
units that are patched to Recall Safe channels, as well as to the
Recall Safe channel settings themselves.

SAFE KEY MODE SELECT section

RECALL SAFE

Additional preset scenes

Factory-shipped preset scenes 00.0 – 00.9 in the scene memory
were reviewed and replaced with more practical scenes. For
details, please refer to the “Scene Memory Preset List” on
page 15.

Hint

• To use the preset scenes, follow the steps below:

1. Recall the desired preset scene.

2. In the INPUT PATCH screen, patch the input channels that
use the signals from the connected units. When you click the
AUTO SETUP button, the unit signals are patched from
Channel 1 in the order of the connected units.

3. In the OUTPUT PATCH screen, patch the buses to the sig­nals of the connected units.

Note

• Please note that if you mix signals that have different paths, a
difference in the time taken via the different signal paths may
cause a comb filter effect (a phenomena in which the level of
some frequencies decreases).

Expanded user area for Input EQ/
Channel libraries

SAFE KEY MODE SELECT

If you turn on or off the Recall Safe func­tion for the selected channel from the

CH

CH+UNIT

panel or in the IN CH VIEW screen, only
the Recall Safe function for the channel is
turned on or off. (This is the same as the
previous software version.)

If you turn on or off the Recall Safe func­tion for the selected channel from the
panel or in the IN CH VIEW screen, the
Recall Safe function for both that channel
and the unit patched to the channel is
turned on or off.

Note

• Selecting the Recall Safe items using the SAFE [RECALL]
switch on the panel or the button in the IN CH VIEW screen
(when the CH+UNIT button is turned on) provides the same
result as turning on the SAFE ON/OFF button and UNIT button
on the screen (when the CH button is turned on).

• When the CH+UNIT button is turned on, the SAFE [RECALL]
switch on the panel or the button in the IN CH VIEW screen is
linked to the on/off operation of the SAFE ON/OFF and UNIT
buttons on the screen.
