ProMix 01 Getting Started Guide
2 Chapter 1: Welcome to ProMix 01
Welcome to ProMix 01
Thank you for purchasing and welcome to—ProMix 01—the world’s first affordable programmable digital mixer. With superb sonic performance, full MIDI control, and a powerful feature set, ProMix 01 is a mixer for life—whatever your application—be it keyboard mixing, MIDI studio, live sound, commercial installation, sub-mixer, theater, post production, hard disk recording, and so on.
ProMix 01 User Guides
ProMix 01 is supplied with two user guides. This Getting Started Guide and a User’s Guide. This Getting Started Guide contains two tutorials to get you started. The User’s Guide, on the other hand, explains all ProMix 01 functions in full detail. Use the table of contents to search for general topics and the index to search for specifics. A glossary of ProMix 01 related jargon is provided.
kThis guy is your resident ProMix 01 expert. He’ll introduce you to each tutorial section and monitor your progress on his headset. Since printed paper is a non-interactive medium, however, he can’t help you out if you get stuck. Still, the tutorials are relatively straightforward, so you shouldn’t have any problems.
We recommend that you start with this Getting Started Guide, and then move on to the User’s Guide when you are little more familiar with ProMix 01. You may want to refer to the User’s Guide for more detailed information while using this guide.
In both guides, parameter range values are separated by a dash, for example: 0–100%.Where the range consists of plus and minus values, however, they are separated by three periods, for example: –99...+99. This is to avoid possible confusion between the minus sign and dash.
Installation
Site ProMix 01 on a stable surface. Somewhere that complies with the “Important Information” on page i. The motorized faders don’t mind climbing hills, so ProMix 01 can be positioned at a sloping angle. ProMix 01 can also be rack mounted using the optional rack-mount kit.Optional wooden side panels can be fitted for an even more attractive finish. If you plan to take ProMix 01 on the road, an optional carrying case is available. A set of color fader knobs is also available. See your Yamaha dealer for details.

ProMix 01 Key Features
This section looks at some ProMix 01 key features; what they mean to you and how you can take advantage of them.
Scene Memories
Until now, the only way to store mix settings was with marker pen and masking tape. ProMix 01 scene memories, however, change all that. They allow you to recall all mix settings (i.e. a mix scene) instantly with just one press of a button, or MIDI Program Change command. And it’s not just mutes and faders, it’s all mix settings. So if you work on several projects at a time, you can store the current mix scene so when you return to that project, you can start again right where you left off. Scene memories also make light work of night-after-night sound checks.Simply press recall to return to the previous night’s mix settings. For theater work, scene memories allow accurate and repeatable sound changes between scenes. ProMix 01 has 50 scene memories.
MIDI Control
As well as sonic benefits, digital audio systems also have excellent control capabilities. In fact, the true power of ProMix 01 can be realized through MIDI control. Simply connecting ProMix 01 to a MIDI sequencer provides total mix control. Allowing you to listen to your mix while difficult moves are performed for you, repeatedly and precisely. MIDI Program Change messages can be used to recall mix scenes, providing snapshot mix automation. And MIDI Control Change messages can be used to control virtually all mix parameters in real time, providing dynamic mix automation.
Large LCD
At the heart of the ProMix 01 user interface is a large backlit 240 x 64 dot graphic LCD display. This provides clear indication of mix settings and operating status. As well as showing parameter values numerically,faders and rotary controls are represented graphically,so you can actually see pan positions and fader positions. In addition, EQ curves are displayed graphically, a feature certainly not available on analog mixers. Signal levels of virtually all inputs and outputs are metered on the LCD, with peak hold function.

Digital Benefits
You’re probably already familiar with the many benefits of digital audio, but what exactly are the benefits for digital audio mixing? Well, an audio mixer has the job of combining audio signals from various sources, at differing levels and impedances, usually into a stereo signal. And it must do this without introducing any new distortions and noise. Analog mixers do a pretty good job, but even with the best designs nonlinear effects caused by circuit components are unavoidable.
In the digital realm, audio mixing consists of adding and multiplying binary numbers that represent audio signals. The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chips used for these calculations never get their sums wrong. So once past the A/D conversion, audio signals are immune from signal degradation. With ProMix 01, noise, distortion, and crosstalk are virtually eliminated. You’ll hear a new clarity in your mixes.
Once in the digital realm, there’s little point converting back to analog. ProMix 01 features an S/PDIF digital output for direct mixdown to DAT and other digital recorders.
ProMix 01 Sonic Performance
ProMix 01’s linear 20-bit 64-times oversampling A/D converters provide a dynamic range of 105dB (typical). This means that an audio program’s dynamic range, from low to high levels, is processed intact. ProMix 01 samples audio at 48kHz, the professional sampling rate. This provides a full spectrum frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz +1, –3dB. For D/A conversion, the stereo outputs feature 20-bit 8-times oversampling and the monitor outputs, 18-bit 8-times oversampling. Oversampling and bitstream techniques effectively increase the internal sampling rate, so side effects caused by steep LPF filters, which are used to filter out sampling frequency components during D/A conversion, are virtually eliminated. Consequently, audio signal integrity is maintained from input through to output.

Internal Effects
ProMix 01 features two stereo internal multi-effects processors. A whole range of effects from reverbs to modulation effects are provided. Effects processors are fed via SEND1 and SEND2, and the processed signals are returned via RTN1 and RTN2, respectively. Having internal effects processors means that you don’t have to purchase external units, effect patching is greatly simplified, and your audio data remains in the digital realm. Effects settings are stored in mix scenes and can be controlled in real time. Effects are organized into programs and there are 30 preset effects programs and 10 user effects programs for you to store your own settings.Your favorite effects processors can be patched into SEND3 and SEND4.
Dynamics Processors
ProMix 01 features three stereo dynamics processors, which can be assigned to input channels, aux sends, and stereo outputs for compression, limiting, gating, and ducking. The benefits of internal dynamics processors are similar to those for the internal effects. They are, you don’t have to purchase external units, patching is greatly simplified, and your audio data remains in the digital realm. Dynamic processor settings are stored in mix scenes and can be controlled in real time. Processors are organized into programs. There are 10 preset programs and 10 user programs for you to store your own settings.
EQ with Library
ProMix 01 input channels, the stereo input channel, RTN1, RTN2, and the stereo outputs all feature three-band fully parametric EQ. EQ parameters consist of gain, frequency, and Q, which is specified in octaves. From a musical point of view, octaves are more intuitive than decimal values. EQ parameter settings are stored in mix scenes and can be controlled in real time.A library of unique EQ preset programs designed for specific applications and instruments is provided. There are 30 preset EQ programs and 20 user EQ programs for you to store your own settings. The preset EQ programs serve as a good starting point and reference when making EQ adjustments.
Motorized Faders
ProMix 01 features motorized faders. This means that they can position themselves automatically when mix scenes are recalled. When real-time automation with a controlling computer or MIDI sequencer is used, fader movements are replayed automatically. Faders can also be grouped into one of four groups for multiple fader control from a single fader.And when adjacent input channels are paired, both channel faders move together.

ProMix 01 Secrets
The following points will help you take full advantage of ProMix 01.
•Besides the DIGITAL REC OUT, inputs and outputs are analog.
•The input channel INPUTs and STEREO OUT are balanced. All other inputs and outputs are unbalanced.
•On the PAN LCD function, ST OUT is a balance control, not pan.
•When no plugs are inserted into the ST IN phone jacks, the 2TR IN signals are fed through to the stereo input channel. This is in addition to being fed through to the CUE/2TR IN switch. This means that you can apply EQ, etc., to the 2TR IN signals. When plugs are inserted into the ST IN phone jacks, however, this connection is broken.
•When SEND3 and SEND4 are configured as a stereo pair, an additional pan control is available on each input channel and a balance control on the stereo input channel. These extra controls appear on the SEND3-4 LCD function. In addition, a SEND3-4 output balance control appears on the PAN LCD function. SEND3 and SEND4 are configured as a stereo pair using the MASTER CONFIGURATION LCD function in the UTILITY menu.
•If you press the [UTILITY] or [MIDI] button and an LCD function appears instead of a menu, press again to get the menu.
•When the GROUP LCD function is selected, a post-fader mix of the channels in the selected group can be monitored via CUE (CUE mode must be MIX or LAST CUE, not ST FIX).
•CH refers to input channels.
•ST IN is the stereo input channel.
•ST OUT is the main stereo output.
•SEND1, SEND2, SEND3, and SEND4 are the four auxiliary sends.
•RTN1 and RTN2 are the two auxiliary returns.
•Effect1 and Effect2 are the internal effects processors.
•COMP1, COMP2, and COMP3 are the dynamics processors. In the ProMix 01 User Guides they are mainly referred to as dynamics processors, since they offer more than just compression.

Making the Connections
Warning: Before making any connections, make sure that all your equipment is powered OFF.
1. Connect your sound source to input channel 9.
It seems more logical to connect to input channel 1. But since inputs 1 through 8 use XLR-type connectors, and it’s doubtful whether you’re going to yell into a microphone for both tutorials, we’ll use input channel 9. If you’re using a stereo sound source, connect to input channel 10 as well. A stereo source is not essential, and for most of the tutorial it’s probably easier to work with just one channel.
2. Connect the MONITOR OUTs to your power amplifier’s inputs.
If you’re using headphones, connect them to the PHONES jack.
3. Plug ProMix 01 into a suitable AC receptacle.
Warning: ProMix 01 should be connected only to an AC receptacle of the voltage type marked on its rear panel.
Power ON/OFF
This section explains how to power ProMix 01 ON and OFF.
Power ON
Always power on your system in the following order: signal source devices through to power amplifier.
Press the POWER switch on the rear panel to power ON ProMix 01. The ProMix 01 start-up screen appears for a few seconds, the faders initialize themselves, then the screen that was used when ProMix 01 was last powered off appears.
Power OFF
Always power off your system in the following order: power amplifier through to signal source devices.
Press the POWER switch on the rear panel to power OFF ProMix 01.
All mix settings, mix scenes, and other data is stored when ProMix 01 is powered OFF.
