Filter
(
HPF
The slope of the high-pass filter can be specified as -6 dB/oct, -12 dB/oct, -18 dB/oct, and -24 dB/oct.
(
LPF
The slope of the low-pass filter can be specified as -6 dB/oct or -12 dB/oct.
d
EQ
This is a four-band parametric EQ.
(
4 BAND PEQ
The following EQ types can be selected: PRECISE, AGGRESSIVE, SMOOTH, or LEGACY. Two sets of EQ parameter
settings (A and B) can be saved for convenient comparison. The FREQUENCY parameter of each band is normally
set in 1/12 octave steps, but if you need more precise adjustment, you can set it in 1/24 octave steps. The two
bands LOW and HIGH can be switched to L SHELF (Low Shelving) and H SHELF (High Shelving) respectively.
The available EQ types include:
PRECISE
This EQ strives for ultimate precision and controllability. It enables you to adjust the target point
precisely, and flexibly satisfies various requirements for sound making. Low/High Shelving filters feature
a “Q” parameter, which enables you to adjust the knee characteristics.
AGGRESSIVE
This EQ is musical and effective.
It enables you to add a powerful, creative edge and serves as a powerful tool for artistic expression.
SMOOTH
This EQ focuses on smooth sound qualities.
It contributes to a natural sound without changing the atmosphere of the original.
LEGACY
This is a standard EQ that has been equipped with many of Yamaha’s legacy digital mixers, such as PM1D
and PM5D.
e
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:
LEGACY COMP
This is a standard compressor that has been equipped with many of Yamaha’s legacy digital mixers, such
as PM1D and PM5D.
COMP 260
This is an analog-flavored compressor built using Yamaha’s proprietory 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.
