Panel Controls and Terminals Panel Controls and Terminals Front Panel 3 1 4 3 2 5 9 6 1 [INPUT 1 HI-Z] switch Switches the input impedance (on O/ off N). Turn this switch on when connecting high impedance instruments, such as an electric guitar or electric bass, directly to the [MIC/LINE 1] jack. When you turn this switch on, use an unbalanced phone plug for connection between the instruments and the [MIC/LINE 1] jack. If you use a balanced phone plug, this device will not work correctly.
Panel Controls and Terminals 9 [+48V] switch Turns the phantom power on (O) and off (N). When you turn this switch on, phantom power will be supplied to the [MIC/LINE 1/2] jack. Turn this switch on when using a phantom powered condenser microphone. Phantom Power Precautions NOTICE Always turn the phantom power switch to OFF when it is not required. When using phantom power, observe the following to prevent noise and possible damage to UR242 or connected equipment.

Panel Controls and Terminals 4 Scene dspMixFx UR242 This software is for operating the convenient built-in DSP mixer and DSP effects. The DSP mixer allows you to mix up to four input channels down to one stereo output. A number of DSP effects for processing the input signals are also provided, and since the processing/mixing is hardware-based, there is no monitoring latency. NOTE You cannot operate dspMixFx UR242 while a Cubase series DAW is running.

Drag upward or rightward to increase, and downward or leftward to decrease.
Panel Controls and Terminals Dedicated Windows for Cubase Series These are the windows for configuring the device settings from Cubase series software. The dedicated windows for Cubase series allow you to configure the parameters which are configured by dspMixFx UR242. Two types of windows are available: Input Settings and Hardware Setup. Input Settings Window This window is for configuring the input settings of the device. The signal flow is from top to bottom.

Panel Controls and Terminals Equalizer REV-X REV-X is a digital reverb platform developed by Yamaha for pro audio applications. One REV-X effect is included in this unit. Input signals can be sent to the REV-X effect, and the REV-X effect is applied only to the monitor outputs. Three types of REV-X are available: Hall, Room, and Plate. The hardware REV-X equipped with the device and REV-X of the VST Plug-in version have essentially the same parameters.
Panel Controls and Terminals Controls and Functions 7 LPF Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the low pass filter. Range: 1.0 kHz – 20.0 kHz 8 Hi Ratio Adjusts the duration of reverberation in the high frequency range by using a ratio relative to the Reverb Time. When you set this parameter to 1, the actual specified Reverb Time is fully applied to the sound. The lower the value, the shorter the duration of reverberation in the high frequency range. Range: 0.1 – 1.
Panel Controls and Terminals 3 TREBLE/MIDDLE/BASS Guitar Amp Classics Guitar Amp Classics are guitar amp simulations that make extensive use of advanced Yamaha modeling technology. Four amp types with different sonic characteristics are provided. The Guitar Amp Classics equipped with the device and the Guitar Amp Classics of the VST Plug-in version have the same parameters.

Using the UR242 7. Set the Channel Strip settings and REV-X settings on the Input Settings window. Select the Channel Strip Insertion location depending on the desired insert point. The default setting is “Lower” (applied to both the monitor signal and the recording signal). For details on the Insertion location, refer to the “Effect Insertion location”(page 15) in the section “Dedicated Windows for Cubase Series.” 12. Click [] to check the recorded sound.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting [POWER] lamp does not light. Is the AC adaptor connected correctly? No sound Has TOOLS for UR242 been installed properly? The UR242 is not a bus-powered type device. Refer to the Getting Started instructions to turn on the [ ] switch. Refer to the Getting Started instructions to complete TOOLS for UR242 installation. Confirm whether or not a proper USB cable is used. If the USB cable is broken or damaged, replace the USB cable with a new one.
Troubleshooting Unusual sound (noise, interruption, or distortion) Is the buffer size set too low? Increase the buffer size compared to the current settings; refer to the section “Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver” (page 6) for instructions. Does your computer satisfy the system requirements? Confirm the system requirements. For the latest information, see the Steinberg web site below. http://www.steinberg.
Appendix Appendix Limitations on the use of effects The maximum number of Channel Strip and Guitar Amp Classics iterations which can be used simultaneously are limited to the following. For example, Channel Strip can be used for two mono channels, while Guitar Amp Classics can be used for one mono channel simultaneously.
