Few weeks ago, we uploaded QuickPro preset files to<a href="http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/global/en/products/mixers/tf/tab1.jsp" target="_blank"> the global Yamaha site</a>. 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. <br />

<br />
TF series has "Sub" bus instead of "Mono".<br />
The Sub bus is designed little differently but you can use it as a Mono bus.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
(Actually, they may differ depends on PAN position.)<br />
<br />
Advantage of this Sub bus design against Mono bus on an analog mixer is:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Different level to the Sub bus, channel by channel.<br /> For example, sending more low end from a kick drum than a bass guitar because of a bass amp on the stage.</li>
<li>Sub bus master level linked to Stereo main bus master.<br />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...:-))<br />To operate them separately, go to System Setup --> Bus Setup and turn Stereo/Sub Level Link off.</li>
<li>LPF and 2-band EQ available. <br />The high band of the EQ can be changed to another LPF. By using those two filters, you can actually create -24dB/oct LPF.</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
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.<br />
Any questions? Let me know.<br />

<br />
Do you look for a switch or a knob in a dark?<br />
We work in a dark many times.<br />
<br />
The Panel Assistance function glows all LEDs on the panel just a little to give you a hint of their locations. It was introduced with PM5D many years ago. And it is now available on TF series too.<br />
<br />
PM5D:<br />
Go to Preference 2 and turn "Panel Assistance" on to use this function. Only when brightness value is 5 or less, panel LEDs are dimly lit.<br />
<br />
TF series:<br />
Go to User Setup and open Brightness page. When Panel brightness is set to 9 or less, Panel Assistance is automatically turned on like the one in the picture.<br />
Because of its LCD touch panel, OLED channel name screen, and keys with glowing function name, TF is easier to operate in a dark room.<br />
<br />

<br />
Here is a quick shortcut of Touch and Turn Knob in EQ screen of TF series.<br />
<br />
When normal PEQ mode is selected, Touch and Turn knob controls each of EQ parameters of the selected band.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Push to switch target between Gain and Frequency</li>
<li>Turn to modify value</li>
<li>Turn while pushing the knob to fine-control Gain when Gain is selected, or modify Q parameter when Frequency is selected</li>
</ul>

<br />
Mixing data on your TF console, including Scene, Preset library, the current status of the console, System setup, etc., is automatically saved on the flash memory in the console. You don't have to save the data manually.<br />
<br />
To backup the data or transfer it to another console, use a USB memory device. Plug it to the right USB port and open Save/Load screen. Then, touch [Save] to create a file.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yqR9pF93tK4/VXZmb8faviI/AAAAAAAAI_0/iY71_UZOJlQ/s1600/screen_150609130724.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yqR9pF93tK4/VXZmb8faviI/AAAAAAAAI_0/iY71_UZOJlQ/s400/screen_150609130724.png" width="400" /></a></div>
Here is a setting for delayed speakers using a stereo aux bus.<br />
<br />
Set feedback gain to "0", Wet/Dry to "100 (Wet)", all filters in the second page to "Thru", and High Ratio to "1.0". This gives you simply delayed audio output.<br />
Assignment from input channels should be "POST" and at nominal ("0"). And make sure Pan Link for the stereo aux bus is turned on. (System Setup -> Bus Setup) Then, mixing balance will be same as the STEREO main bus. <br />
<br />
The example above shows 30msec which gives signal delay for about 30ft (10m).<br />
<br />
Please be aware of master output level of the system. Master fader for STEREO mains and the stereo aux are independent. For example, to boost system SPL by 3dB, you will push the STEREO master up by 3dB and the stereo aux master by 3dB. Or, create a DCA group for all input to change the level from one place.<br />
<br />
This example can be found in Scene A98 for your reference.<br />

With the 1-knob functions and four User Defined Knobs, basic parameters of TF can be operated from the overview screen. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Default function assignment to the User Defined Knobs below the screen is Gain, EQ, Gate, and Comp. "Gain" controls analog HA gain. If it is a digital input, it controls digital gain. "EQ" controls 1-knob EQ value if the channel have 1-knob EQ turned on. If 1-knob EQ is off, gain for the lastly selected band is controlled. Press the User Defined Knob to open EQ screen to modify details. "Gate" always controls threshold of Gate. "Comp" controls 1-knob Comp value if it is active. If 1-knob Comp is turned off, threshold is the target. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Touch on the white box. Then, Touch and Turn knob is now PAN control.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

These five knobs would help you to setup the console quickly in a busy show. And of course, assignment of the functions to the knobs is flexible. </div>

p.s. The Touch and Turn knob in the overview screen controls the same parameter which the User Defined Knob is assigned to. When you have different assignment to the User Defined Knobs, you still have quick accessibility of these parameters.</div>

Few days ago, <a href="http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/global/en/products/peripherals/applications/tfstagemix/index.jsp" target="_blank">TF StageMix was released</a>.<br />
UI of the TF StageMix is similar to the UI on the console. Most of channel parameters, such as EQ, Dynamics, or AUX send, can be operated from the App in a similar way.<br />
<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/tf-stagemix/id959434551?mt=8" target="_blank">Some of screenshots are also available here</a>. Please check it out.<br />

When you turn on a TF console at the first time, you will see 10 pages of quick tutorial and its language selection screen. It gives you idea of basic work flow on the console in nine languages.<br />
<br />
The tutorial appears every time you turn on the console. If don't like it, just turn off "Show Help at Startup" option in Preference screen.<br />
<br />
And you can access the Tutorial anytime from "Help" menu in User Setup screen.<br />

<a href="http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/global/en/products/mixers/tf/downloads.jsp" target="_blank">TF Editor V1.10 for Windows</a> has been released.<br />
TF Editor is primarily for off-line edit at preparation and online remote control at operating a console.<br />
<br />
It is important for managing your preset files too.<br />
While Editor is online, you can export or import preset files in Library screen. To import a preset file to your console, drug a source file to the Editor window and drop it in the list of preset library. To export a preset file from your console, select a preset in the list, then, drug and drop it to destination on your desktop. <br />
Of course, you can pre-configure your Library offline. Drug and drop files between Editor and your local preset library. Then, save the whole setting as a console file or make the Editor online with synchronizing direction of "PC to Console".<br />
<br />
When you install TF Editor to a Windows 8 tablet PC, it can be a wireless remote controller. It allows touch control similar to StageMix. Some of parameters are little small for touch control. We recommend to use StageMix for quick remote control but I think Editor is enough in some cases.<br />
<br />
Since its UI screen is very much same as TF console, it could be a good tool to learn TF console operation.<br />
<br />
Please <a href="http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/global/en/products/mixers/tf/downloads.jsp" target="_blank">download</a> and try it!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

TF series have six User Defined Keys on the panel. Initially, They are all assigned to "SCENE Direct Recall/Store" function.<br />
<br />
<u>SCENE Direct Recall</u><br />
Pressing a key lit in orange recalls a Scene memory setting shipped with the console. Pressing these keys shows you some of typical console settings. Of course, you can change key assignment to another Scene memory with your original settings. <br />
<br />
<u>SCENE Direct Store</u><br />
When you press and hold a key, it stores the current console setting to a Scene memory assigned to the key. You can create or overwrite a scene quickly by this operation.<br />
<br />
If you don't want to overwrite your Scene memory with this function, protect the Scene in Scene list screen.<br />

TF is shipped with many of channel presets.<br />
Press the "star" button located below the screen to open the library window. <br />
<br />
Input channel preset recalls HA settings, EQ, Gate, Comp, Name, Color, Icon, and some of other parameters. Fader level stays as is.<br />
<br />
Let me explain concept of the factory preset for input channel little bit.<br />
HA gain is set little safer side. For example, Vocal preset for dynamic microphone is with HA gain set to +30. EQ is the key of these presets. I will explain it deeper in another post. Gate and Comp setting is also set to safer side. In many preset, Gate and/or Comp are disengaged. If it is engaged, threshold is set to minimum in Gate and maximum in Comp. Tweak the threshold based on your input signal. I spent long time to decide color assignment to each instrument because everyone has different preference. Our default is: <span style="color: blue;">Drums (blue)</span>, <span style="color: purple;">Guitars (purple)</span>, <span style="color: magenta;">Keys (pink)</span>, <span style="color: cyan;">Horns (light blue)</span>, <span style="color: lime;">Vocals (green)</span>, etc. <span style="color: red;">Red</span> is not used in factory preset. I reserved this color for your most important channel.<br />
<br />There are other groups of presets for Fx and output channel. They will be explained later.<br />
<br />
We are going to add more preset very soon. They will be from Yamaha or partner microphone manufacturers and found <a href="http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/global/en/products/mixers/tf/tab1.jsp" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />

<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Faders on my console have chattering (vibrate when they are moved with a scene recall). </span><b><i>Do they need to be serviced?</i></b><br />
<br />
Usually, friction of a slider will be changed after running the console for several months, which depends on usage, environment, frequency of scene recalling, etc. Or the faders might have much dust inside. These may cause overshooting of fader position control. Please try Fader Calibration function of the console before contacting Yamaha service.<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Please don't use any contact cleaner. It will remove special contact grease in a fader and make the situation worse.</span><br />
<br />
(CL series and M7CL) While holding down the SCENE MEMORY [STORE] key
of the panel, turn on the power. Press the FADER CALIBRATION button and
follow the instruction in the screen.<br />
<br />
(QL series) While holding down [SEL] key of master B, turn on the power. Press the FADER CALIBRATION button and
follow the instruction in the screen.<br />
<br />
(TF series) While holding down [Home] key under the LCD touch panel, turn on the power. Press the Fader Calibration button and
follow the instruction in the screen.<br />
<br />
(PM5D) While holding down the [ENTER] key of the panel, turn on the power of the PW800W power supply. Select "CALIBRATE FADER POSITION" and follow the instruction in the screen.<br />
<br />
(LS9) While holding down the [SCENE MEMORY] key of the DISPLAY ACCESS section, turn on the power. Move the cursor to the FADER CALIBRATION button and press the [ENTER] key.<br />

Here is a picture with TF series engineers at the Yamaha HQ in Hamamatsu. The half of them were digital mixer experts but others were new at the time of the beginning.<br />
<br />
I tried to maintain a good balance between challenges and traditions of Yamaha digital mixers in the TF series. The engineers helped me to realize it!<br />

<br />
The new firmware is released with new StageMix and R Remote software.<br />
This is a big step for the mixers. Now, you can use Dugan mixer on your CL. PEQ in output channel is expanded to 8-band on these mixers. RTA is also available in their PEQ and GEQ screen.<br />
And what I really like is RTA on <a href="http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/global/en/products/peripherals/applications/" target="_blank">StageMix</a>. It uses iPad microphone and is independent from the RTA on a console. This is very useful when you are checking speakers on stage.<br />
<br />
