ALL PRE/POST - CL, QL, TF, M7CL, LS9

How do I change the MIX1 (AUX1) to POST all input channels at once ?

CL, QL, M7CL, LS9:
Open the MIX SEND popup by pressing the TO MIX1 SEND LEVEL knob in the selected channel or overview screen. In the popup screen, you have "ALL PRE" and "ALL POST" button on the upper right corner.


TF series:
Select Output fader bank and select AUX1. Touch on the top of the channel strip to open SEND FROM screen. Press the [Menu] key below the screen and select All Pre or All Post command from the menu.

Fader calibration

Faders on my console have chattering (vibrate when they are moved with a scene recall). Do they need to be serviced?

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.

Please don't use any contact cleaner. It will remove special contact grease in a fader and make the situation worse.

(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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

Updated on April 20, 2015 with QL and TF series.

Console Lab Returns to Buena Park, CA

Console Lab gives experienced audio engineers the opportunity to reserve a PM5D, M7CL, or LS9 console for a couple hours to work on their mixing skills. This is not a typical class where the instructors guide you through the board. It's just you, the console, and a multi-track recording of a show. Need a little help figuring something out? No problem! A training staff member will be there to answer any questions.

So, if you've ever thought to yourself, "Man, if I could just get my hands on that console for a couple hours". Now you'll have the chance... Sign up today!

Waves Audio announces WSG-Y16 mini-YGDAI SoundGrid I/O card

Have you checked this release note from Waves?
It was announced at the NAMM show too.

It is an interface card for MY-slot connected to a PC via Ethernet. The PC will be a dedicated server for plugins.
At this time, I don't have so much detailed information yet. But When it is released, your Yamaha digital console may have the latest Waves plugins inserted.
I'm very excited with this product because I have been told about plugins at our classes many times and this is going to be a realistic solution for them, finally.
