DYNAMICS
Two dynamics processor modules are provided: Dynamics 1 and Dynamics 2. To each module
you can assign one of six types of function such as GATE or COMP. Two types of compressor are
provided: LEGACY COMP and COMP 260. Two sets of dynamics parameter settings (A and B)
can be saved for convenient comparison.
The available dynamics types include:
• KEY IN SOURCE
Selects the source of the key-in signal.
In addition to SELF, the key-in signal can also be selected directly from another channel or
input patch.
6
INSERT
Two inserts are provided: Insert 1 and Insert 2. In each insert, you can insert up to four plug-ins/
GEQ/PEQ/external devices (via the I/O jacks). Each insert point can be selected independently
for INSERT 1 and INSERT 2.
7
DELAY
Up to 1000 msec of delay is provided on each channel. You can freely select the delay insert
point. You can select the delay time unit from the following: meter, feet, sample, msec, frame,
depending on your application.
8
DIRECT OUT
• DIRECT OUT POINT
For each channel, a variety of points can be selected as the signal that is output to direct out.
• DIRECT OUT LEVEL
For each channel, sets the output level of direct out.
• FOLLOW
This function enables the direct out signal to “follow” channel parameter settings (FADER/
ON/DCA) regardless of the direct out point. For example, if you want to route a signal from
immediately after the HA to the direct out for recording, you can make the direct out signal
follow the channel OFF setting to avoid possible noise caused by connecting or disconnecting
cables or turning phantom power on or off.
LEGACY COMP
This is the standard compressor that has been provided on Yamaha
digital mixers since the PM1D and PM5D.
COMP 260
This is an analog-flavored compressor built using Yamaha’s proprietary
VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) technology. It emulates the
characteristics of compressors and limiters of the mid-1970s, which are
now a standard for live sound reinforcement. This compressor has
faithfully modeled the VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) circuit and the
RMS (Root Mean Square) detection circuit. Compression curve (Knee)
can be set to Hard, Medium, or Soft. Although the attack/release times
can also be adjusted, the preset settings reproduce the fixed response of
the original unit being modeled. Designed under the supervision of top SR
engineers, the parameter effects have been optimized for live sound
reinforcement.
GATE
This dynamics type reduces the output by a fixed value (RANGE) when a
signal smaller than the THRESHOLD level is input.
DE-ESSER
This dynamics type detects only the sibilants and other high-frequency
consonants of the vocal, and compresses its bandwidth.
EXPANDER
This dynamics type reduces the output by a fixed ratio (RATIO) when a
signal smaller than the THRESHOLD level is input.
DUCKING
This dynamics type reduces the output by a fixed value (RANGE) when a
signal greater than the THRESHOLD level is input. This is effective if you
want to lower the volume level of background music using the KEY IN
SOURCE signal.
