New presets are available for TF now


Few weeks ago, we uploaded QuickPro preset files to the global Yamaha site. Each of download page shows additional information about the preset, such as expected position of a microphone. It can be a good resource for a mixing engineer who has just started live mixing.


They also include new vocal presets for popular Shure microphones. They are available only from the web site at this moment. Please download and use them.

To see how to transfer a preset file to your TF console, please refer to the link below.

"Mono" bus on TF series available?


TF series has "Sub" bus instead of "Mono".
The Sub bus is designed little differently but you can use it as a Mono bus.

Open ASSIGN screen and bring Sub level to nominal (0.00), now the channel is assigned to the bus with same level as Stereo main bus.
(Actually, they may differ depends on PAN position.)

Advantage of this Sub bus design against Mono bus on an analog mixer is:
  • Different level to the Sub bus, channel by channel.
    For example, sending more low end from a kick drum than a bass guitar because of a bass amp on the stage.
  • Sub bus master level linked to Stereo main bus master.
    It means you don't have to take care of each of faders every time you change FoH level. The other automatically follows. (Do you remember there was a part to link fader caps physically. or, a rubber band...:-))
    To operate them separately, go to System Setup --> Bus Setup and turn Stereo/Sub Level Link off.
  • LPF and 2-band EQ available.
    The high band of the EQ can be changed to another LPF. By using those two filters, you can actually create -24dB/oct LPF.

Many of us use an aux bus for sub-woofer send for flexible level control of each channel. But we don't have a aux master fader level linked with Stereo master. This is to solve the problem.
Any questions? Let me know.
