Important Information
Please read the following before operating your 02R Digital Recording
Console.

Precautions
Installing the 02R
•

The unit should be connected only to an AC receptacle of the type
described in the owner’s manual or as marked on the unit.

•

Be careful to prevent the 02R from getting wet; do not allow water to
enter the 02R, especially when raining or snowing, or near a body of a
water. Otherwise, fire or electrical shock may result.

•

Do not block the ventilation holes on the 02R. The 02R has ventilation
holes on the top, rear, front and bottom panel to prevent the inside
temperature from rising. If the ventilation holes are blocked, the heat
will remain inside, resulting in fire. In particular, avoid the following
situations:
Do not orient the 02R upside down, face down, or sideways.
Do not place the 02R in a narrow, non-ventilated space, such as in a
bookcase or closet. Use a dedicated rack.

•

Do not place a table cloth on top of the 02R; do not place the 02R on a
carpet or mattress.

•

Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. If the cord is damaged,
fire or electrical shock may result. In particular, it is possible that one
might accidentally place a heavy object on the carpet that covers the
cord, or place the 02R on top of a power cord; avoid these situations.

•

To allow for the efficient release of heat, maintain a gap of 10 cm or
more between the rear of the 02R and the wall. Locate the 02R away
from other equipment. If the release of heat is insufficient, the heat
will remain inside the device, and result in a fire.

•

Do not install the 02R in a place where it may be exposed to oil,
smoke, or steam (for example, near a cooking table or humidifier).
Otherwise, fire or electrical shock may result.

•

Do not place the 02R on an unstable surface, such as an unstable
bench or slanted surface. Otherwise, the equipment may fall or drop,
resulting in injury.

•

Do not place the power cord near a heating device. Otherwise, the
cord sheath may melt, resulting in fire or electrical shock.

•

Do not locate the 02R in a place subject to excessive heat, such as
inside a car with all the windows closed, or in direct sunlight.
Otherwise, fire may result.

•

Do not place the 02R in a place subject to excessive humidity or dust.
Otherwise, fire or electrical shock may result.

Introduction to the 02R

02R
From the company that pioneered digital mixing consoles and leads the
industry with its acclaimed DSP technology comes the 02R Digital mixing
Console—the most advanced digital mixing console in the world. All of
Yamaha’s experience and innovation has been applied to the 02R, to create
a perfect mixer for use with the current generation of modular digital
multitrack tape and disk recorders.

Inputs and Outputs – I/O Cards and Digital Cascade
With the 02R you can record and mix directly to your modular digital
multitrack recorder without ever leaving the sonic purity of the digital
domain. It is a 40 input channel mixer, each with full dynamic processing
and 4-band parametric EQ, plus two stereo internal effects returns. It comes
with 24 analog inputs, featuring 20-bit 64-times oversampling
analog-to-digital conversion. By adding one of the optional digital I/O
cards, you can also have 8 channels of direct digital input. Depending on
configuration, up to four cards can be inserted into the 02R. The cards allow
you to select from any of the currently used formats (ADAT®, TDIF™,
Yamaha, or AES/EBU). The optional cards allow you to route up to 16
outputs directly to your modular digital multitrack recorder. In addition,
you can insert a Digital Cascade card into one of the I/O slots, allowing
you to connect multiple 02Rs together to create a larger digital mixing
system.

Dynamic Automix with Total and Instant Recall
The 02R is a fully dynamic automated mixing console—all referenced to
timecode. Its onboard automix system memorizes not just the faders, but a
myriad of parameters. Switch individual channels on or off, adjust the EQ
or the pan position, change the auxiliary send, and recall any scene
memory—automatically. There are 96 internal scene memories which can
store every digital mix parameter in a “snapshot” providing instant recall
and reset.

Crystal Clarity and Unsurpassed Audio Quality
The 02R features Yamaha’s latest generation 32-bit proprietary audio DSP.
All of your mix data is processed internally with 32-bit precision. Using the
power of the latest generation effects processor chip, it also has a startling
range of effects available: shimmering reverbs, clean, precise delays,
flanging and chorus, and other effects are built into this mixer. It also
features dynamics processors on all the inputs, allowing you to compress,
limit, or gate the signals, giving you unparalleled sonic quality and
flexibility. The 02R samples audio at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz using its internal
clock, and can sample at any frequency from 28 kHz to 53 kHz when an
external word clock is applied.

RISC Technology
To provide powerful system control and full dynamic automix, the 02R is
driven by a RISC technology CPU. With all this power and sonic quality,
the 02R will become the heart of your digital recording studio.

User Guides
The 02R is supplied with an Owner’s Manual that consists of two guides—a
Getting Started Guide and a User’s Guide. You should keep this manual
handy for future reference.

Getting Started Guide
The Getting Started Guide contains a simple description and a couple of
tutorials about digital recording with the 02R to get you started. It also has
a tutorial on the automix system.

User’s Guide
The User’s Guide explains each 02R function in full detail. Use its table of
contents to search for general topics and the index to search for specifics. A
glossary of related terms is also provided.

Where to Start
If you are unfamiliar with the 02R, you should start with the Getting Started
Guide. Read through the section and follow the steps outlined in the
tutorials. Refer to the User’s Guide when you are more familiar with the 02R
and just need the details of how a particular function works. You may also
want to refer to the User’s Guide for more detailed information while using
the Getting Started Guide.

Automix System
Regardless of your level of experience, you should read through the section
“Mixing and Automix” on page 67 of the Getting Started Guide. The automix
system built into the 02R is unique to this product. Even experienced
recording engineers will want to refer to this section to discover how to
record and playback entire mixing sessions. You should also refer to the
section entitled “Automix” on page 137 of the User’s Guide.

Installation
You should locate the 02R on a stable surface. It should be sited so that the
display can be easily read from a comfortable position. Leave plenty of
access space at the back of the 02R to make the required connections to the
other equipment in your digital recording studio.

Key Features
This section looks at some of the key features of the 02R, what they mean to
you, and some hints about how you can use them.

Dynamic Automix
One of the most demanding jobs of the recording engineer is taking all the
raw material produced during a multitrack recording session and mixing it
all together into an artistically satisfying master recording. The ability to
setup portions of the mix and then have them playback automatically as
you work on other portions is probably the most important feature of the
02R.
It has an on-board automix system that memorizes fader positions,
switches individual channels on or off, adjusts the EQ or pan positions, and
changes the auxiliary sends—all referenced to timecode. It can also record
and execute scene memory changes, also referenced to timecode. This
allows you to perform an entire mixing session, and then edit individual
channel settings until you have achieved the perfect mix.
The 02R allows you to record a mixdown in real-time and then edit the
results, either in real-time or by using one of the event editors. You can
select single parameters of the mixer to edit—for example, just enable the
faders for one pass as you create your mixdown.

Scene Memories
The 02R has 96 internal scene memories each of which is a snapshot of all
the digital settings of the mixer (a mix scene). Each can be named for easy
identification. They can be stored and later recalled instantly.
If you work on several projects at one time, you can store the current mixer
settings in a scene memory so when you return to that project, you can start
immediately from where you left off. When you are working on a
mixdown, the ability to recall mixer scenes can speed the process and
allows for accurate repetition of the various parts of the mix. When you use
the 02R for sound reinforcement applications, the ability to recall mix
scenes can make light work of night-after-night sound checks.
Storing the mixer settings to a scene memory is a simple matter of pressing
the [STORE] button and confirming the request.
Note: You can customize your 02R to perform the storage operation without
confirmation. See “Preferences” on page 198 of the User’s Guide for more details.

02R Getting Started Guide

8

Introduction to the 02R
Recalling the scene is even easier—just press the [RECALL] button. You
should be careful that your scene memories flow into each other smoothly.
The instant recall means that you can have very abrupt level changes or the
unexpected intrusion of a very loud channel.
Note: The 02R allows you to have programmable fades between scene memories.
The only thing you need to watch is the sudden sound of a channel being switched
on. Even then, if the original channel level was set to –∞ dB, you should have no
problems. See “Fade Time” on page 136 of the User’s Guide.

Large Graphical Display
The heart of the 02R user interface is the large graphical display located in
the center of the console. Using the Display Access controls, you can gain
immediate access to the features of the mixer—clearly displayed on the 320
× 240 pixel, FL-backlit, user-friendly graphical display. Virtual control
modules are shown on the display, allowing you to adjust almost any
digital parameter anywhere in the system.
As well as displaying parameter values numerically, faders, rotary controls,
and push buttons are represented graphically, so you can actually see
button status, pan positions, and fader levels.
In addition the EQ curves are displayed graphically as are the dynamics
processor parameters.

User Interface
The 02R user interface is powerful but very intuitive. There are two main
methods of working with the 02R:
•

Use the DISPLAY ACCESS controls to modify one parameter at a time
across the entire recording console.

•

Use the SELECTED CHANNEL controls to modify all of the
parameters of the currently selected channel.

The DISPLAY ACCESS controls consist of a block of 24 function buttons
divided into three groups—CONFIGURATION, MIXING, and AUX—plus
the large backlit graphical display, four cursor buttons, a detented encoder
wheel, and the [ENTER] button. There is also a related block of four SCENE
MEMORY buttons—to increment, decrement, store, and recall the scene
memories.
The SELECTED CHANNEL controls consist of four main blocks of
controls—each block was designed to be as familiar as the equivalent
controls on a regular analog mixer, but with the power of digital precision
and instant recall. The ROUTING block selects the bus onto which to route
the current channel signal. The AUX block selects the auxiliary buss to send
the channel signal to and sets the send level. The PAN block sets the pan
position of the channel signal. The EQ block sets the EQ curve for the

02R Getting Started Guide

Introduction to the 02R

current channel. You can customize your 02R to automatically select the
corresponding display pages when you adjust a control in these blocks.

Motorized Faders
In addition to the DISPLAY ACCESS and SELECTED CHANNEL controls,
each input channel and the stereo master channel utilizes a 100 mm
motorized fader. When a scene memory is recalled, the faders position
themselves automatically to the levels stored. Fader movements are
replayed automatically in synchronization with timecode automix during
playback.
The faders allow you to quickly and accurately set the levels for the
selected channels. By pressing the [FLIP] button, you can transfer fader
control over your tape returns as well. Faders can be grouped into one of
four fader groups for control of multiple faders from a single control.
(There are also four mute groups which allow you to toggle a group of
channels on or off.) You can also control two adjacent channels in stereo
with the pair operation using only one fader.

Internal Stereo Effects
The 02R features eight aux sends, two of which are routed to the internal
multi-effects stereo processors: Effect 1 and Effect 2. Using the power of
Yamaha’s proprietary effects processor chip, the 02R has a startling range of
special effects available to apply to your mix. Shimmering reverbs, clean
and precise delays, flanging and chorus, and a myriad of other effects are
available built right into this mixer. The effects are processed entirely
within the digital domain, ensuring the signal quality is the finest that a
digital system can provide.
External effects processors can be patched into the system using the 02R’s
analog AUX send outputs, which feature 18-bit linear, 8-times
oversampling D/A converters.
Effects can be applied to input channels or the tape return channels, and the
auxiliary sends can be configured pre-fader or post-fader. There are 40
preset effects programs and 88 user effects programs for you to store your
own settings.

Dynamics Processors
Dynamics processors are generally used to correct or control signal levels.
However, you can also use them creatively to shape the volume envelope
of a sound. The 02R features comprehensive dynamics processors for all
the input, return, bus, and stereo output channels—a total of 50 processors.
These processors allow you to compress, expand, limit, gate, or duck the
signals passing through the mixer, giving you unparalleled sonic quality
and flexibility.
Similar to the internal stereo effects, the dynamics processors are patched
directly into the signal path while the audio data remains in the digital
02R Getting Started Guide

10

Introduction to the 02R
domain. The dynamics program settings are stored in the dynamics library.
There are 40 preset programs for you to recall and 88 user programs for you
to store your own dynamics programs

Parametric EQ with Library
The 02R contains a high-performance four-band, fully parametric EQ. Each
input channel, tape and effect return, and the stereo output channel
features an EQ. You can tailor the EQ curve with a high degree of precision,
covering the entire dynamic spectrum from 21 Hz to 20.1 kHz. Select the
center-frequency (F) and adjust the bandwidth (Q) and the gain (G) until
you have achieved the perfect sound.
EQ settings can be stored and recalled using scene memories, and can be
adjusted in real-time with the dynamic automix system. The 02R also has
an extensive EQ library which allows you to store frequently used EQ
settings for instant recall. An EQ program stored in the EQ library is a good
starting point and reference when making adjustments to the EQ.

Digital Benefits
You’re probably already familiar with the many benefits of digital audio,
but what exactly are the benefits for digital audio mixing?
An audio mixer has the job of combining audio signals from various
sources, at differing levels and impedances, usually into a stereo signal. It
must do this without introducing any new distortions and noise. Most
analog mixers do a pretty good job, but even with the best designs,
nonlinear effects caused by circuit components are unavoidable.
In the digital realm, audio mixing consists of adding and multiplying the
binary numbers that represent audio signals. The 02R uses a 32-bit DSP
(Digital Signal Processor) chip for these calculations, ensuring a very high
degree of precision. Once past the analog-to-digital conversion, audio
signals are essentially immune from standard signal degradation. With the
02R, noise, distortion, and crosstalk are virtually eliminated. You’ll hear a
new clarity in your mixes.
Once in the digital realm, there’s little point converting back to analog. The
02R features stereo digital outputs for direct mixdown to DAT and other
digital recorders. It uses the industry standards AES/EBU or IEC958 Part 2
(Consumer) for its digital inputs and outputs. With one of the optional
digital I/O cards installed in your 02R, you can record direct-to-digital to
your modular digital multitrack recorder.

02R Getting Started Guide

Introduction to the 02R

02R Sonic Performance
The 02R uses linear 20-bit 64-times oversampling analog-to-digital
converters to provide a typical dynamic range of 105 dB. This means that
an audio program’s dynamic range, from low to high levels, is processed
intact. The 02R samples audio at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. It provides a full
spectrum frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, +1, –3 dB.
For digital-to-analog conversion, the 02R features 20-bit 8-times
oversampling for its main stereo outputs, including the control room
monitor outputs, and 18-bit 8-times oversampling for the studio and aux
send outputs. Oversampling and bitstream techniques effectively increase
the internal sampling rate, so side effects caused by steep low-pass filters,
which are used to filter out undesirable sampling frequency components
during conversion, are virtually eliminated. Consequently, audio signal
integrity is maintained from input through to output.

Getting Started

Basic Assumptions
The 02R was designed to be the perfect digital mixing console for a studio
using the current generation of modular digital multitrack tape and disk
recorders. Although the 02R can also be used as a sound-reinforcement
mixer, the typical user will own a project recording or post-production
studio with some form of multitrack recorder. Therefore, your 02R will
probably be equipped with one or more of the optional input/output
cards. For the purposes of these tutorials, it does not matter if you are
working with an analog or digital multitrack.

What You Will Need
To perform the following tutorials, you will need:
•

The 02R.

•

A sound source: CD player, drum machine, synthesizer/sequencer
with demo song.

•

Amplifiers and speakers, or headphones.

•

A multitrack recorder and a stereo master recorder.

•

Audio connecting cables.

Making the Connections
WARNING! Before
making any connections,
make sure that all your
equipment is turned OFF.

1. Connect your sound source to input channel 1.
If you are using a stereo sound source, connect it to input channel 2 as well.
A stereo source is not essential, and for most of the tutorials it will probably
be easier to work with just one channel. If your sound source has XLR-type
connectors, connect it to the XLR-type connectors on the 02R. Otherwise,
use the phone jacks and select INPUT B with the [A/B] switch.
2. Connect the C-R MONITOR OUT connectors to the inputs on your
power amplifier.
If you are using headphones, connect them to the PHONES jack.
3. Connect your multitrack recorder to the appropriate optional
input/output card.

WARNING! The 02R
should be connected only to
an AC receptacle of the
voltage type marked on its
rear panel.

02R Getting Started Guide

You can also connect your stereo master recorder to either the digital or
analog STEREO OUT connectors.
4. Plug the 02R into a suitable AC receptacle.

Power ON/OFF
This section explains how to power the 02R on and off.

Power ON
It is always important to observe the correct order for powering up
equipment in a studio. Always start with the multitrack and mastering
recorders and the signal processors, then the 02R, and finally the
monitoring amplifiers and other downstream gear.
POWER
ON/ OFF

1. Turn ON the power to the 02R by pressing the POWER switch on
the rear panel.
The 02R start-up screen appears for a few seconds, the faders return to their
previous positions, then the page that was used when the 02R was last
powered off appears.

Power OFF
It is always important to observe the correct order for powering off
equipment in a studio. Always start with the monitoring amplifiers and
other downstream gear, then the 02R, and finally the multitrack and
mastering recorders and the signal processors.
1. Turn OFF the power to the 02R by pressing the POWER switch on
the rear panel.
All mix settings, mix scenes, and other data are stored when the 02R is
powered off.

Setting the Synchronization
Before you use the 02R with a modular digital multitrack recorder or DAT
master recorder, be sure to correctly set the synchronization. The 02R must
be slaved to an external wordclock in order to process the input digital
signals without drop-out or distortion. Refer to the section “Word Clock
Select” on page 188 of the User’s Guide.
Look in the chapter “Installing Options” on page 217 of the User’s Guide.
There is a section for each of the optional digital I/O cards that the 02R
supports. Refer to the appropriate section for the card installed in your 02R.

SCENE MEMORY

This is a read-only scene memory that contains the default settings for the
system. The 02R will be reset to its initial settings.
Note: It is best to start at the beginning of each tutorial and work your way
through, taking breaks as required. If you deviate too far from the tutorial, or jump
into a tutorial halfway through, you may find that subsequent tutorial steps do not
work as expected. Also note that the tutorials do not explain all 02R functions, nor
do they serve as a substitute for the User’s Guide explanations. For full details on
all 02R functions, refer to the User’s Guide.

Setting the Input Level
Assuming that the 02R is powered ON and your music source is playing,
the very first thing you need to do is set up a basic control room monitor
mix. When you recall Scene Memory 0 “0 Initial Data”, all the channel
faders are set to the 0 dB mark.

Setting Fader Levels

Note: Be very careful with the level settings, especially if you are using stereo
headphones. When you are adjusting a unit as complex as the 02R, it is possible for
you to inadvertently switch on a very loud signal source. Damaged loudspeakers or
amplifiers can be very expensive. Damage to your hearing can be much worse. Your
ears are for life!

Setting the GAIN
1. Use the [METER] button to locate the METER 1/3 page.
METER

20dB

The MIC/LINE 1 signal is metered.

2. If the sound is distorted, the PEAK indicator is illuminated, or the
level is going up to CLIP, press the 20 dB (pad) switch to attenuate
the input signal for MIC/LINE 1.
You usually need to pad (attenuate) the input signal when you connect a
line level device, such as a synthesizer or an effects unit to the channel. If
you connect a microphone, you should not need to pad the signal.
If you want to use a high impedance device, such as a guitar or bass guitar,
you should insert a direct box or effects processor between the guitar and
the 02R—or you should mike the guitar amplifier.
Note: The stereo input channels (LINE 17 through 24) accept line level signals
only.
3. Use the GAIN control for MIC/LINE 1 to optimize the signal level.

+4
-16

GAIN

-40

Ideally the level should be set relatively high to obtain the best
signal-to-noise performance. It is acceptable for the PEAK indicator to
occasionally illuminate but the signal levels should not reach CLIP. If the
PEAK indicator illuminates constantly, the signal is overloading the input
preamplifier and you may be able to hear analog clipping distortion. When
CLIP is reached, you will experience digital clipping distortion, which is
usually very unpleasant sounding.

02R Getting Started Guide

22

Introductory Recording Tutorial
Back off the GAIN control a little until the PEAK indicator illuminates very
occasionally. The GAIN control should be set with some care. If it is set too
low, the signal-to-noise performance will suffer, and if it is set too high,
signal clipping and distortion may occur.

∅/ATT Display Function
If a lot of EQ boost is applied, the signal level may reach CLIP on the
METER page but the PEAK LED may not light up. Instead of lowering the
GAIN control, which would reduce A/D converter efficiency, you can use
the Attenuator function to attenuate the level.
1. Press the [∅/ATT] button.
Ø/ATT

The ∅/ATT 1/1 page shown below appears.

2. Press the [SEL] button for MIC/LINE 1.
SEL

3. Use the encoder wheel to attenuate the signal.
On the ∅/ATT page you can attenuate signals and reverse the phase, all in
the digital domain.
Note: You should rarely find it necessary to use the ∅/ATT function on an input
signal after the gain level has been correctly set, but you may need to attenuate
after you apply EQ, effects, or dynamics to the signal.

Peak Hold
1. Use the [METER] button to locate the METER 1/3 page.
METER

02R Getting Started Guide

2. You may find the Peak Hold function useful at this point. To turn it
on, use the CURSOR buttons to select the PEAK HOLD icon and
press [ENTER]. When the Peak Hold function is on, its icon is
highlighted.

Introductory Recording Tutorial

23

The peak level is indicated by an empty square box. Peak Hold is very
useful for level checking before recording. You can leave a mix to play
through unattended while Peak Hold watches out for signal peaks. If any
levels reach CLIP, back off the relevant GAIN control or use the ∅/ATT
display function to attenuate the signal and run through the mix again.
Note: The Peak Hold function also works on the stereo output meters and
controls the optional meter bridge (MB02).
3. To clear the Peak Hold levels, select the PEAK HOLD icon with the
CURSOR buttons and press [ENTER].
When you clear the Peak Hold levels, it also clears the peaks from the
stereo output meters.
Typically, you will be using more than just one input channel, so you will
need to set the input signal level for each channel individually. Since it is
relatively easy to set them at this point, take time and care. If you have to
adjust them later in the mixing process, you may need to adjust the faders,
auxiliary sends, and other levels, as well.

Channel ON/OFF
The channel [ON] buttons are used to turn channels ON or OFF. This
function is sometimes called MUTE. When you recall Scene Memory 0 “0
Initial Data”, all the channels are turned ON.
1. Press the channel [ON] button for MIC/LINE 1.
ON

The sound is cut and the LED inset in the [ON] button switches off.
Note: Even though you can no longer hear the sound source, the meter for
MIC/LINE 1 continues to be displayed. This is because the meter signal is sourced
before the [ON] button.
2. Press the [ON] button again to turn the channel back ON.
The LED inset in the [ON] button illuminates again and you will be able to
hear the sound source again.

Applying EQ
The next step is to apply EQ to MIC/LINE 1.
Each 02R channel features a four-band fully parametric EQ, with variable
bandwidth (Q), frequency (F), and gain (G). The power of the 02R user
interface means that there are two ways of adjusting the EQ for
MIC/LINE 1.
One method is to use the EQ 1/2 page.
The more convenient method is to use the buttons and controls of the
EQUALIZER block of the SELECTED CHANNEL controls.

Note: You can customize your 02R so that when you adjust a control of the EQ
block of the SELECTED CHANNEL controls, the EQ 1/2 page automatically
appears. See “Preferences” on page 198 of the User’s Guide for more information.
The default setting is to automatically display the EQ page.
The rest of this tutorial describes the operation of the EQ 1/2 page.

Turning the EQ ON/OFF
1. Press the [SEL] button for MIC/LINE 1.

When you press the [SEL] button for a channel, the LED and numeric
indicators of the SELECTED CHANNEL controls change to reflect the
status of the channel you selected.
2. Press the [EQ] button.

The EQ 1/2 page appears, showing the EQ curve and settings for
MIC/LINE 1.

3. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the EQ ON icon.
If the EQ is ON, the icon will be highlighted. The LED inset in the [EQ ON]
button of the SELECTED CHANNEL—EQUALIZER block controls will
also be illuminated.
4. To turn the EQ either on or off, press the [ENTER] button or the
[EQ ON] button.
The ON icon will change to OFF. The LED inset in the [EQ ON] button will
no longer be illuminated.
Turn the EQ on for the remainder of this tutorial.

Setting the Gain
1. Select the gain (G) icon for the LOW band using the CURSOR
buttons.
Alternatively, press the [LOW/HPF] button of the SELECTED
CHANNEL—EQUALIZER controls.
2. Rotate the encoder wheel clockwise to boost the gain.
Alternatively, you could use the EQUALIZER G control.

02R Getting Started Guide

26

Introductory Recording Tutorial
The gain increases in 0.5 dB steps and the EQ curve on the EQ page
changes to reflect this.

3. Rotate the encoder wheel counterclockwise to reduce the gain.
The gain decreases in 0.5 dB steps.
Alternatively, you could use the EQUALIZER G control.
4. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the gain (G) icon for the L-MID
band and adjust its level with the encoder wheel. Select the
other bands as well.
You can also select the EQ bands using the [LOW/HPF], [L-MID],
[H-MID], and [HIGH/LPF] buttons of the SELECTED
CHANNEL—EQUALIZER controls.
Note: Applying a lot of EQ boost may increase the signal level sufficiently to
cause distortion. If this does occur, reduce the amount of EQ boost or adjust the
attenuation level to compensate (the ATT icon). You can switch back to the
METER 1/3 page and select POST EQ to monitor the signal levels.
Note: You can reset the gain of each band to 0.0 dB by double-clicking the
corresponding [LOW/HPF], [L-MID], [H-MID], or [HIGH/LPF] buttons of the
SELECTED CHANNEL—EQUALIZER controls.

02R Getting Started Guide

Introductory Recording Tutorial

27

Setting the Frequency
1. Select the frequency (F) icon for the LOW band using the CURSOR
buttons.
2. Use the encoder wheel to sweep through the frequency range.

Alternatively, you could use the EQUALIZER F control.
All four bands of the 02R parametric EQ cover virtually the entire audio
spectrum, from 21 Hz to 20.1 kHz. Although they are labelled LOW,
L-MID, H-MID, and HIGH, the frequency of the bands can actually be in
any order.
Note: If your 02R is busy processing some complex data, it may take a little time
to update the EQ curve. However, the internal EQ circuits reflect your
adjustments immediately.
Note: As well as the frequency value in Hz displayed under the icon and on the
numeric LED in the SELECTED CHANNEL—EQUALIZER controls, the dotted
vertical line on the EQ graph indicates the current frequency position.
3. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the frequency (F) icon for the
L-MID band and adjust its position with the encoder wheel. Select
the other bands and adjust their frequency.
You can also select the EQ bands using the [LOW/HPF], [L-MID],
[H-MID], and [HIGH/LPF] buttons of the SELECTED
CHANNEL—EQUALIZER controls. Adjust the EQUALIZER F control for
each band.

02R Getting Started Guide

28

Introductory Recording Tutorial
Setting the Bandwidth
The L-MID and H-MID bands are peaking type EQs. The LOW and HIGH
bands are initially configured as shelving type EQs, however, they can also
be configured as peaking type EQs. The LOW band can also be configured
as a HPF (high-pass filter) and the HIGH band as a LPF (low-pass filter).
1. Select the bandwidth (Q) icon for the LOW band using the
CURSOR buttons.
2. Use the encoder wheel to sweep through the bandwidth.
Alternatively, you could use the EQUALIZER Q control.
The LOW band changes from low-shelving to peaking to high-pass filter as
you continue to rotate the encoder wheel.
3. As you rotate the encoder wheel counterclockwise, it effectively
increases the Q—narrowing the bandwidth, as shown on the EQ
graph.

A narrow curve is useful for boosting or cutting specific frequencies.
4. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the bandwidth (Q) icon for the
L-MID band and adjust its position with the encoder wheel. Select
and adjust the bandwidth of the other bands.
You can also select the different bands using the [LOW/HPF], [L-MID],
[H-MID], and [HIGH/LPF] buttons of the SELECTED
CHANNEL—EQUALIZER controls. Adjust the EQUALIZER Q control for
each band.
The HIGH band changes from high-shelving to peaking to low-pass filter
as you adjust its value.

Using the EQ Library
The EQ Library is used to access and store EQ settings—stored as
programs. There are 32 preset programs (1 to 32) for you to recall and 96
user programs (33 to 128 plus UNDO) for you to store your own EQ
settings. First you need to know how to recall EQ programs, then how to
store your own.
Note: The programs 33 to 40 contain preset programs and are listed in the “EQ
Programs” on page 54 of the User’s Guide. However, you can store your own
settings to these programs.

Recalling an EQ Program
1. Use the [EQ] button to locate the EQ 2/2 page shown below.

The EQ program is recalled. The EQ curve for MIC/LINE 1 is set
accordingly. The EQ curve at the top of the display is updated.

Your sound source is modified by the program you recalled. If the sound
doesn’t change, check if you have left the EQ ON switch turned OFF on the
EQ 1/2 page. You can also quickly check if the LED inset in the EQ ON
button of the SELECTED CHANNEL—EQUALIZER controls is
illuminated or not.
6. Use the [EQ] button to locate the EQ 1/2 page.
The EQ 1/2 page shows the updated EQ curve and exact settings of the EQ
program recalled.

Undoing a Recall
You can undo EQ program recalls by recalling the “U” EQ program, which
contains the previous EQ settings.
1. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the RECALL icon and rotate the
encoder wheel until program “U” is highlighted.
2. Press the [ENTER] button.
The previous EQ settings are recalled.

position.
Note: The “COPY” and “PASTE” icons allow you to select the title from
another EQ program and paste it into your program. These icons only copy the
title, not the actual EQ settings. See “Icons” on page 55 of the User’s Guide.
6. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the STORE icon and press the
[ENTER] button.
The 02R displays a confirmation dialog box asking if you want to store
your settings in the selected EQ program. The dialog box has two icons:
“CANCEL” and “EXECUTE”.
Note: You can customize your 02R to prevent the dialog box appearing during
STORE operations. In this case, the program is stored without confirmation. See
“Preferences” on page 198 of the User’s Guide for more information.

02R Getting Started Guide

CANCEL is the default. To cancel the STORE operation, either press the
[ENTER] button or wait about 10 seconds—the STORE operation will be
automatically cancelled.
To store your settings, use the CURSOR buttons to select the “EXECUTE”
icon and press the [ENTER] button. The EQ program is stored.
Note: If you decide you don’t like an EQ program after you have stored it, it is
very easy to overwrite it by creating new settings and storing them to the same
location. Conversely, it is also very easy to accidentally overwrite a valued EQ
program.

Routing
This tutorial assumes you have a multitrack recorder and you have
connected it to your 02R—after having one or more of the optional
input/output cards installed:
•

Alesis ADAT (CD8-AT)—This single slot card supports an 8-channel
ADAT compatible modular digital multitrack recorder. It provides
eight input channels and eight output channels. You can insert up to
four of these cards in the 02R.

•

TASCAM TDIF-1 (CD8-TDII)—This single slot card supports an
8-channel TASCAM modular digital multitrack recorder. It provides
eight input channels and eight output channels. You can insert up to
four of these cards in the 02R.

•

YAMAHA (CD8-Y)—This single slot card supports an 8-channel
YAMAHA modular digital multitrack recorder. It provides eight input
channels and eight output channels. You can insert up to four of these
cards in the 02R.

•

AES/EBU (CD8-AE double slot card, CD8-AE-S single slot
card)—These cards support an 8-channel AES/EBU compatible
modular digital multitrack recorder (such as the Akai DD1500 series).
They provide eight input channels and eight output channels.

•

Analog AD/DA (CD8-AD)—This double slot card supports any
8-channel analog multitrack recorder. It provides eight input channels
and eight output channels. You can insert only two of these cards in the
02R.

The 02R allows you to route the first 16 MIC/LINE channels directly to an
output. If you have the correct configuration, this means you can send
direct outputs to a 16-track recorder (for example, two paired ADAT
compatible modular digital multitrack recorders).
You can route any channel to one of the eight output buses. The buses feed
to each of the four 8-track I/O slots in the back of the 02R. You can also
route any channel to the stereo bus.
When you recall Scene Memory 0 “0 Initial Data”, all the channels are
routed to the stereo bus.

Aux Sends
The 02R has eight aux sends.
AUX 7 and AUX 8 are used to feed the internal effects processors, with the
signal remaining entirely in the digital domain.
The other auxiliary sends—AUX 1 through AUX 6—can be used to feed
external signal processors and effects units, foldback amplifiers, or
multitrack recording equipment. AUX 5 and AUX 6 can also be used to
construct a monitor mix, and routed directly to either the studio or control
room monitors. When a send is used to feed an external effects processor,
the processed signal can be returned via one of the stereo input channels or
an unused input channel.
There are two different ways to access the auxiliary send channels:

move from their channel level positions to the aux send level positions.
Note: Avoid blocking the fader movements when the faders move to their aux
send positions by placing objects on the 02R. It is possible to damage the faders.
Although the faders have moved to the auxiliary send level positions, the
02R remembers the channel signal levels.
2. Select MIC/LINE 1 using the [SEL] buttons or the CURSOR buttons.
Turn the aux send on by pressing the [AUX 1] button and then the [ON]
button in the AUX group of the SELECTED CHANNEL controls. The
default is for the send to be ON, therefore this step is not usually required.
Note: In order to change the aux send status from on to off, you must first select

Creating a Monitor Mix
The 02R has two different monitoring outputs—the control room outputs
and the studio outputs—plus, of course, the PHONES output (which is a
duplicate of the control room output).

During a multitrack recording session, what you want to listen to in the
control room is often very different from what the musicians need in the
studio. For example, while recording a rhythm section, the bass player and
the drummer may want to hear the kick drum at a much higher volume
than you need in the control room.
To cater to this requirement, the 02R allows you to create a mono monitor
mix using either AUX 5 or AUX 6 or a stereo mix using both AUX 5 and
AUX 6.

Monitor Mix Process
The process for creating the monitor mix is similar to the steps detailed in
“Setting the Aux Send Level” on page 43 of the Getting Started Guide
1. Press the [AUX 5] button.

CONTROL ROOM

2. Select MIC/LINE 1 using the [SEL] buttons or the CURSOR buttons.
Turn the aux send on by pressing the [AUX 5] button and then the [ON]
button in the AUX group of the SELECTED CHANNEL controls.
You should leave the send pre-fader. This will allow the musicians to
continue to hear each other independently of anything you may be doing
in the control room.
3. Press the [AUX 5] button of the STUDIO buttons group.
You should also press the [AUX 5] button of the CONTROL ROOM
buttons group so you can hear the results of adjusting the levels.
4. Adjust the fader for MIC/LINE 1 until the desired signal level is
obtained.
Use the Talkback system to check with your musicians, to see if they are
content with the signal levels you have set. When you finish setting the
studio monitor levels, press the [ST] button of the CONTROL ROOM
buttons group for monitoring in the control room.

Applying Effects
The 02R features two internal multi-effects stereo processors: Effect 1 and
Effect 2. These are fed by AUX 7 and AUX 8, and the processed signals are
returned via EFF 1 RTN and EFF 2 RTN, respectively. When you use the
internal effects, the signal gets processed without ever leaving the digital
domain.
Effects can be applied to input channels or the tape return channels. Effects
are organized into programs. There are 40 preset effects programs (1
through 40) and 88 user effects programs (41 through 128 plus an UNDO
buffer) for you to store your own settings.

Setting the Send Levels
The process for applying effects is similar to the steps as detailed in
“Setting the Aux Send Level” on page 43 of the Getting Started Guide. The
following example shows applying effects to MIC/LINE 1 using AUX 7.
1. Use the [AUX 7] button to locate the AUX 7 1/3 page shown
below.
AUX 7
EFF1

The faders automatically move from the channel level positions to the aux
send level positions. Even though the fader has changed positions, the 02R
remembers the channel signal levels.
Note: Avoid blocking the fader movements when the faders move to their aux
send positions by placing objects on the 02R. It is possible to damage the faders.
2. Select MIC/LINE 1 using the [SEL] buttons or the CURSOR buttons.
Turn the aux send on by pressing the [AUX 7] button and then the [ON]
button in the AUX group of the SELECTED CHANNEL controls.
3. Press the [ENTER] button to change the aux send from pre to post
fader.

02R Getting Started Guide

Secondary Recording Tutorial

47

Sends to the effects are usually post fader. This means the signal level feed
into the effects processor follows the “dry” channel level.
4. Adjust the fader for MIC/LINE 1 until the desired signal level is
obtained.

Adjusting the Effect Return
The effect return channel is similar to one of the input channels except that
it has no analog input, and therefore no gain or input pad need to be
applied. Otherwise the steps are similar to those starting with “Setting the
GAIN” on page 21 of the Getting Started Guide.
The easiest way of applying all the required adjustments is to select the
View 1/2 page. This allows you to see all the parameters of the channel on
one page, while you can still use the dedicated buttons and controls of the
SELECTED CHANNEL group.
1. Use the [VIEW] button to locate the VIEW 1/2 page shown below,
and press the [SEL] button for EFF 1 RTN.
VIEW

2. If the sound is distorted or the level is constantly going up to CLIP,
use the CURSOR buttons to select the ∅/ATT icon. Adjust the level
with the encoder wheel.
Note: In many cases, clipping in the effect return channel is caused by the send
level being too high. You may need to adjust the send levels as well as the
attenuation if you experience clipping.
3. Select the PAN icon with the CURSOR buttons and set the pan
position using the encoder wheel.
Note: Setting the pan position, routing, and EQ can all be done quickly and
easily with the dedicated controls of the SELECTED CHANNEL block.
4. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the ROUTING icons. Press the
[ENTER] button to select routes for the effect return signal.

02R Getting Started Guide

48

Secondary Recording Tutorial
By default (assuming you are still working with Scene Memory 0 “0 Initial
Data”) the effect return channel is routed to the stereo bus.
Note: Although you cannot route the effect return channel to the direct outputs,
you can route it to the same bus that the input channel is routed to, allowing you to
record the effect together with the input signal.
Many engineers prefer to add effects only during the final mix. It is very easy to
apply effects, but difficult to remove it once it has been recorded. You may want to
send the effect to the monitor mix, however, especially when recording a
vocalist—many vocalists dislike hearing their voice “dry” in the monitors.
5. Select the EQ graph with the CURSOR buttons and press the
[ENTER] button.
The 02R will automatically switch to the EQ 1/2 page. Follow the steps
detailed in “Applying EQ” on page 24 of the Getting Started Guide to set the
EQ for the effect return channel EFF 1 RTN.
Note: Many engineers prefer to hold off applying EQ to a recording until they
are ready to mixdown. Again, it is much easier to apply EQ than to subsequently
remove it.

Recalling and Editing Effects
Once you have applied effects to MIC/LINE 1, you need to know how to
recall effects programs from the effects library and to adjust their
parameters in order to create your own effect programs.

Recalling Effects Programs
1. Use the [AUX 7] button to locate the AUX 7 2/3 page shown
below.
AUX 7
EFF1

The parameters of the currently selected effects program are displayed on
this page. You will see the library (LIB) icon, an effects curve or icon
(depending on the selected effect), and a level meter for the effects return
stereo pair, as well as icons for adjusting the parameters.
2. Use the [AUX 7] button to locate the AUX 7 3/3 page shown
below.

Alternatively, you could select the LIB icon and press the [ENTER] button
to go to the AUX 7 3/3 page.

02R Getting Started Guide

50

3. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the RECALL icon. Rotate the
encoder wheel to select an effects program.
The 02R will scroll through the available effects programs. The program
that is highlighted is the program that will be recalled when you press the
[ENTER] button.
4. Press the [ENTER] button.
The effects program is recalled.
If you attempt to recall a user program that is empty, the 02R displays an
error message, indicating that the selected memory location is not available
for recall.

Editing Effects
You can edit the preset effects programs and then store them as user effects
programs. The 02R has 40 preset programs (1 through 40). Some are simple
variations of a basic effect, for example, different types of reverb and delay
(echo) are available.
Select the preset effects program that is closest to the effect you are trying to
achieve and edit its parameters.
1. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the LIB icon and press the
[ENTER] button.
The AUX 7 2/3 page appears.

You can also press the [AUX 7] button to get to this page. This button
allows you to access the aux send levels, the effects editing, and the effects
library pages.

2. Select the various parameters with the CURSOR buttons, and
adjust the value with the encoder wheel.
As you adjust the parameters, you should listen carefully to the results.
Some of the parameters of some of the effects are very subtle in their effect,
others are quite obvious.
After you have modified the effects program to your satisfaction, you are
ready to store it.

Storing a User Effect
The 02R has 88 user effects program locations (41 through 128) for you to
store your own settings. You can store your effects program in the Effect
Library, or you can just rely on the 02R scene memory to recall your
settings. The following instructions show you how to store your program
in the library.
1. Select the LIB icon with the CURSOR buttons and press the [ENTER]
button.
The AUX 7 3/3 page appears.

You can select the “INS.” icon to insert a space (blank) at the cursor position
in the TITLE EDIT box. Select the icon with the CURSOR buttons and press
the [ENTER] button. The “DEL.” icon is used to delete the character at the
cursor position.
Note: The “COPY” and “PASTE” icons allow you to select the title from
another effects program and paste it into your program for subsequent editing.
These icons only copy the title, not the effects settings. See “Icons” on page 110 of
the User’s Guide.
4. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the STORE icon. Rotate the
encoder wheel to select an effects program.
If you select one of the preset programs (1 to 40), the message “Preset is
read only!” appears when you attempt to store your program. Select a
program from the 88 user programs (41 to 128).
You cannot store your settings to program “U” (the UNDO buffer) either.
5. Press the [ENTER] button.
The 02R displays a confirmation dialog box asking if you want to store
your settings in the selected effects program. The dialog box has two icons:
“CANCEL” and “EXECUTE”.
Note: You can customize your 02R to prevent the dialog box appearing during
STORE operations. See “Preferences” on page 198 of the User’s Guide for more
information.
CANCEL is the default. To cancel the STORE operation, either press the
[ENTER] button or wait about 10 seconds—the STORE operation will be
automatically cancelled.
To store your settings, use the CURSOR buttons to select the “EXECUTE”
icon and press the [ENTER] button. The effects program is stored.
Note: If you decide you do not like an effects program after you have stored it, it
is very easy to overwrite it by creating new settings and storing them to the same
location. Conversely, it is also very easy to accidentally overwrite a valued effects
program.
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE CAREFUL WHEN THE 02R DISPLAYS A
CONFIRMATION DIALOG BOX!

Patching in a Dynamics Processor
The 02R features comprehensive dynamics processors for all the channel
inputs, tape returns, and stereo and bus outputs. These processors allow
you to compress, expand, compress/expand (compand), gate, or duck the
signals passing through the mixer.
The dynamics processors are generally used to correct or control signal
levels, giving you unparalleled sonic quality and flexibility. You can also
use them creatively to shape the volume envelope of a sound.

Compressor
A compressor provides a form of automatic level control. It attenuates high
levels, thus effectively reducing the dynamic range, making it much easier
to control signals and set appropriate fader levels. Reducing the dynamic
range also means that recording levels can be set higher, thereby improving
the signal-to-noise performance.
Limiting is an extreme form of compression, where the output signal is
sharply attenuated so that it cannot exceed a particular level.

Expander
An expander is another form of automatic level control. By attenuating the
signal below the threshold, the expander reduces low-level noise or
expands the dynamic range of the recorded material.

Compander
A compander is a compressor/expander—a combination of signal
compression and expansion. The compander attenuates the input signal
above the threshold as well as the level below the width. For very dynamic
material, this program allows you to retain the dynamic range without
having to be concerned with excessive output signal levels and clipping.

Gate and Ducking
A gate, or noise gate is an audio switch used to mute signals below a set
threshold level. It can be used to suppress background noise and hiss from
valve (tube) amps, effects pedals, and microphones.
Ducking is used to automatically reduce signal levels when the level of a
source signal exceeds a specified threshold. It is used for voice-over
applications where, for example, the level of background music is
automatically reduced, allowing an announcer to be heard clearly.

02R Getting Started Guide

Secondary Recording Tutorial

Compressing the Stereo Output
You can apply dynamics to the input channels, for example, the channel
you have used throughout these tutorials—MIC/LINE 1. The selection of
dynamics program would depend on the input material: a gate for a noisy
guitar amp, a compressor for an unpredictable vocalist, and so on.
In this case, apply a compressor to the stereo bus to add punch to the
output signal. You can hear the effect by monitoring the stereo bus with the
control room buttons.
1. Use the [DYNAMICS] button to locate the DYNAMICS 1/2 page
shown below.
DYNAMICS

2. Press the [SEL] button for STEREO.
Note: If one of the icons B1 through B8 in the KEY IN section of the display is
highlighted, it means the corresponding output bus is selected. To select the stereo
bus, move the cursor to the STEREO icon using the CURSOR buttons and press
the [ENTER] button.
By default (assuming you are still working with Scene Memory 0 “0 Initial
Data”) the dynamics processor is set to a compression program with all
parameters set to the default value as shown in the table below:
Threshold

0 dB

Knee

hard

Ratio

1:1

Attack

0 ms

Out Gain

0 dB

Release

5 ms *1

*1

This value is obtained when the sampling frequency is 48 kHz.

The processor is OFF.

02R Getting Started Guide

56

Secondary Recording Tutorial
3. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the DYNAMICS OFF icon and
press the [ENTER] button to turn the processor on.
The icon is highlighted with the text changed to ON. Being able to easily
turn the dynamics processor on and off allows you to perform quick A-B
listening tests.
4. Select the KEY IN parameter with the CURSOR buttons. Rotate the
encoder wheel or press the [ENTER] button to select the trigger
source for the processor.
By default, the STEREO channel is triggered by itself, pre-EQ (SELF –
PRE-EQ). You can select post-EQ or the signal on the aux buses, AUX 1 or
AUX 2.
Note: As you change the KEY IN parameter, the icons in the KEY IN block on
the display also change.
You should select either SELF – PRE-EQ or SELF – POST-EQ.
5. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the compressor parameters.
6. Adjust the value of each parameter by rotating the encoder
wheel.
To compress the stereo output signal, try settings similar to those in the
following table:
Threshold

–10 dB

Knee

2

Ratio

2:1

Attack

60 ms

Out Gain

0 dB

Release

1.02 sec *1

*1

This value is obtained when the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

The above settings provide a 2:1 compression above –10 dB. This means for
every 1 dB change in input signal level above –10 dB there will be a 0.5 dB
change in the output level. You can increase the output level without as
much risk of clipping. The overall effect is the output signal sounds louder,
essentially because you have limited—or compressed—the dynamic range.
Experiment with the settings until you get an effect that you like.

Using the Dynamics Library
Once you have applied a dynamics processor to the stereo bus, you need to
know how to recall dynamics programs from the library and to adjust the
parameters to create your own dynamics programs.

Recalling Dynamics Programs
1. Use the [DYNAMICS] button to locate the DYNAMICS 2/2 page
shown below.

Alternatively, you could use the LIB icon on the DYNAMICS 1/2 page to
go to the DYNAMICS 2/2 page.
2. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the RECALL icon. Rotate the

3. Press the [ENTER] button.
The dynamics program is recalled.
If you attempt to recall a user program that is empty, the 02R displays an
error message, indicating that the selected memory location is not available
for recall.
Note: Unlike EQ and effects, it is sometimes necessary to apply a dynamics
processor to an input signal as you are recording multitrack sources. Some signals
are too unpredictable or noisy to record without some form of compression or
gating. However, you should be very selective about the dynamics you apply, as the
same rule holds: it is easy to add the effect, but very difficult to remove it
afterwards.

Editing Dynamics Programs
You can edit the preset dynamics programs and then store them as user

a variation on the six basic dynamics processors available:
•

Compressor (CMP)

•

Gate (GAT)

•

Expander (EXP)

•

Compander – Hard (CPH)

•

Compander – Soft (CPS)

•

Ducking (DUK)

Select the preset dynamics program that is closest to the effect you are
trying to achieve and edit its parameters. For a list of the preset programs,
see “Preset Dynamics Programs” on page 76 of the User’s Guide.
Note: The program name of each preset dynamics program contains a three letter
code indicating the type of dynamics processor it is.
1. Use the [DYNAMICS] button to locate the DYNAMICS 1/2 page

Scene Memories
The 02R scene memories are a snapshot of all the digital parameters of the
mixer. The 02R has 96 mix scene memory locations. Each can be named for
easy identification.
There are two special scene memories. “0 Initial Data” is a read-only scene
memory that resets the 02R to its default settings. The other is an undo
buffer entitled “U”. Recalling the undo buffer restores the last state of the
02R.

STORE

RECALL

Scene memories can be stored and recalled using the [STORE] and
[RECALL] buttons. Scene memories are selected using the SCENE
MEMORY increment or decrement buttons.

SCENE MEMORY

They can also be recalled using automix or by using MIDI Program
Changes from a computer, MIDI sequencer, or MIDI footswitch. You can
save scene memories to a MIDI data filer.

Storing a Scene Memory
When you store a scene memory, you should check that all the mixer
settings in the Edit Buffer are correct. Some settings may have been
adjusted accidentally, or by someone else. If you are not sure about the
exact contents of the mixer and do not want to laboriously check each
setting, recall the initial mixer settings (Scene Memory 0 “0 Initial Data”),
make the adjustments that you really want, and then store.
Note: You may want to store the current mix settings to an unused scene
memory, just in case.
1. Use the SCENE MEMORY increment or decrement buttons to
select a scene memory.
You cannot store your settings to either of the special scene memories: “U”
(the UNDO buffer) or “0 Initial Data”. If you select these scene memories,
an error message appears when you attempt to store your scene memory.

Mixing and Automix

What is 02R Automix?
There are three basic steps to making a multitrack recording:
•

Setup and initial tracks

•

Overdubbing

•

Mixdown

Each step is vital in order to produce a satisfactory recording, but the most
difficult one for most engineers is the mixdown. The musicians have
finished their work. They have played their instruments and sung their
vocals. All that raw material is stored on your multitrack recorder, waiting
to be turned into a perfect final mix.
To assist you with this difficult task, the 02R has a fully-featured on-board
automix system. It memorizes fader position changes, switches individual
channels on or off, adjusts the EQ or pan positions, and changes the
auxiliary sends—all based on timecode. It can also recall scene memories
and programs from the EQ library, effects library, dynamics library, and
channel library.
This allows you to record an entire mixing session, and then edit the
individual channel settings in multiple passes until you have achieved
perfection. You can punch-in to fine tune a specific parameter or you can
use one of the event editors to adjust the timecode position of a channel
setting or scene change. You can easily create a mix that would be virtually
impossible to achieve on a standard analog mixer.

Automix Memory
The 02R has a current automix buffer and 16 automix memories. There is
also an undo buffer. Only the current mix can be played back and recorded.
You can store the current mix in any of the 16 automix memories.

02R Getting Started Guide

Mixing and Automix

Real-time Automix
These tutorials have assumed you are using your 02R with one or more of
the optional I/O cards installed and a multitrack recorder connected. In
this section, you will be synchronizing your multitrack recorder to the 02R.
There are three basic ways of doing this:
•

If your multitrack recorder is equipped with a SMPTE timecode output
connector, you use an audio cable to connect it to the SMPTE
TIME CODE INPUT jack on the rear panel of the 02R.

•

Use an external SMPTE timecode generator if your multitrack recorder
cannot output SMPTE time. You need to record timecode onto one of
the tracks of your multitrack recorder and connect the output from that
track directly to the SMPTE TIME CODE INPUT jack on the rear panel
of the 02R.

•

Use a MIDI sequencer to send MTC (MIDI timecode) or MIDI Clocks to
the 02R as well as your multitrack recorder. Connect a MIDI cable to
the MTC TIME CODE INPUT jack on the rear panel of the 02R.

There is an additional option—you can automate the 02R using its internal
timecode generator. However, you cannot synchronize with an external
device as the 02R has no timecode output connectors. This mode is effective
for learning how to use the automix system.

Basic Connections and Setup
1. Connect your timecode source to the 02R.
2. Use the [AUTOMIX] button to locate the AUTOMIX 1/7 page.
AUTOMIX

3. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the desired “Frames” rate and
press the [ENTER] button.
The 02R supports the following frame rates:
•

30—30 frames per second.
02R Getting Started Guide

70

Mixing and Automix
•

30D—29.97 frames per second (30 drop frame).

•

25—25 frames per second.

•

24—24 frames per second.

These frame rates apply to the SMPTE, MTC, and INT time references.
4. Select the “Time Reference” with the CURSOR buttons and press
the [ENTER] button.
Select the time reference from the four options:
•

SMPTE timecode (the motion picture standard)

•

MTC (MIDI timecode)

•

INT (internal)

•

MIDI (MIDI Clock)

5. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the “Automix” ENABLE and
press the [ENTER] button to switch it on.
The automix system will not function unless this check box is enabled.
6. Select the desired “Overwrite” items with the CURSOR buttons
and press the [ENTER] button.
This field allows you to select the types of events that will be recorded.
Only the items selected will be recorded. Choose from the following:
•

FADER—channel level operations (fader or encoder) including
auxiliary send levels.

•

CH ON—[ON] button selections for each channel.

•

PAN—pan position for each channel.

•

EQ—EQ selections for each channel.

•

SURROUND—surround pan events

Note: Scene memories and all library recall operations will be recorded
regardless of the settings of the “Overwrite” options.
The other options on this page are also important, but not for the purposes
of this tutorial. See “Automix Main” on page 144 of the User’s Guide for
more details.

Creating a New Automix
To record an entire mixing session with the 02R automix system, you must
first create a new automix. When a new automix is created, the contents of
the current automix (referred to as “events”) are deleted and the current
automix is returned to its default settings.

02R Getting Started Guide

Mixing and Automix

If you want to keep the contents of the current automix, store them into an
available memory location before proceeding.
1. Use the [AUTOMIX] button to locate the AUTOMIX 2/7 page.
AUTOMIX

STORE

RECALL

2. Use the SCENE MEMORY increment or decrement buttons to
select your starting scene memory and press the [RECALL]
button.

SCENE MEMORY

The selected scene memory is recalled.
Your mixdown scene memory should be stored with the [FLIP] button
pressed so that the faders operate the tape returns rather than the input
channels.
Note: You can customize your 02R so that the [FLIP] button status is ignored
during scene memory recalls. In this case, you may need to press the [FLIP] button
before you start recording your automix. See “Preferences” on page 198 of the
User’s Guide for more information.
3. Set your starting levels for the mixdown and press the [STORE]
button to update the scene memory.
The 02R will display a popup confirmation request message. Select the
“EXECUTE” icon and press the [ENTER] button.
4. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the “NEW” icon and press the
[ENTER] button.
The 02R will display a popup confirmation request message asking if you
want to make a new automix. The popup has two icons: “CANCEL” and
“EXECUTE”:

02R Getting Started Guide

72

Mixing and Automix
CANCEL is the default. To cancel the NEW operation, either press the
[ENTER] button or wait about 10 seconds—the NEW operation will be
automatically cancelled.
To create the new automix, use the CURSOR buttons to select the
“EXECUTE” icon and press the [ENTER] button. The last scene memory
that was stored or recalled will be inserted at timecode location 00:00:00.00.

Recording the First Session
1. Use the [AUTOMIX] button to locate the AUTOMIX 1/7 page.
AUTOMIX

2. Select the “REC” (record) icon with the CURSOR buttons and
press the [ENTER] button.
The “REC” icon will flash, indicating AUTOMIX RECORD READY status:

3. Press the [SEL] buttons for the tape return channels you want to
record.
The LED inset in the selected channel [SEL] buttons flash indicating that
they are armed for recording.
Note: Remember the scene memory you recalled has the [FLIP] function
engaged. Therefore you should be selecting the [SEL] buttons in the row above the
faders.
4. Start the device that is providing the timecode.
It should start from a location before the music starts.
Note: The 02R automix function will not respond correctly in cases where the
source timecode starts at “23:59:30.00” and rolls over to “00:00:00.00”. The
timecode must be continuous.
When timecode is received when the 02R is in AUTOMIX RECORD
READY status, the “REC” icon is highlighted and automix recording will

Mixing and Automix
begin. The timecode will be displayed in real-time in the “Time Code” field
of the “Automix Main” page.
Note: If the timecode is not being displayed correctly in the “Time Code” field,
check the following:
•

Are your cables connected between the timecode source device and the 02R
correctly?

•

Is the timecode source device setup correctly to output timecode?

5. While monitoring the recording, operate the faders and other
controls for the selected channels.
When you are recording the automix events, you can only operate the
controls, specifically the faders, of the selected channels.
Note: The 02R tries to prevent accidental level changes by “freezing” the faders
that have not been selected. To avoid damaging the unit, do not attempt to operate
the faders of channels that have not been selected.

Automix Recording Notes

02R Getting Started Guide

•

When you are recording pan or EQ changes you may find it more
convenient to use the buttons and controls of the SELECTED
CHANNEL block.

•

If you have selected more than one channel with the [SEL] buttons, the
SELECTED CHANNEL controls can only adjust the channel that was
selected last. The same applies for EQ and dynamics processor
operations. Because of these restrictions, you may find it more
convenient to work on your automix recording one channel at a time
when editing EQ and pan data.

•

While you are recording automix events, you can select other 02R
display functions, allowing you to adjust the parameters for multiple
channels.

•

To record a recall operation from EQ, dynamics, or channel libraries,
press the [SEL] button for the channel to be changed, then use the
corresponding display function to perform the recall operation. To
record a recall operation from the effect libraries, use the [AUX 7] or
[AUX 8] button to access the effect libraries.

6. When you have completed recording the automix session, use
the CURSOR buttons to select the “STOP” icon and press the
[ENTER] button.
You may find it faster and more convenient to stop the automix recording
session by stopping the device that is providing the timecode. In this case,
the effect is the same as if you selected the STOP function on the 02R:

The “REC” icon will change to normal and the “STOP” icon is highlighted.
The events recorded during the automix session will be written to the
current automix memory.
You can also discard the events recorded during the automix session by
selecting the “UNDO” icon with the CURSOR buttons and pressing the
[ENTER] button.
You can stop the automix recording session by selecting the “ABORT” icon
with the CURSOR buttons and pressing the [ENTER] button. However, the
events recorded during the automix session will be discarded.
Note: The ABORT function must be used before an automix recording has
stopped. Once the recording has stopped, the automix data will be updated and a
new current mix is created. At this point after stopping an automix recording, the
UNDO function can be used to retrieve the previous automix data.
In most cases, punch-in edits or using the event editors can correct minor
errors.
7. Stop the device that is providing the timecode.

Editing Automix Events
Overwriting Events
You can overwrite the events that have been recorded into the current
automix. You can alter events on an already recorded channel or you can
record new events onto another channel. For example, you may first record
the faders for the rhythm section to the automix and then overwrite the
fader operations for the lead parts and vocals.
1. Use the [AUTOMIX] button to locate the AUTOMIX 1/7 page.

4. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the STORE icon. Use the
encoder wheel to select an automix and press the [ENTER]
button.
The 02R will display a popup confirmation request message asking if you
want to store your settings in the selected automix program. The popup
has two icons: “CANCEL” and “EXECUTE”.
CANCEL is the default. To cancel the STORE operation, either press the
[ENTER] button or wait about 10 seconds—the STORE operation will be
automatically cancelled.
To store your settings, use the CURSOR buttons to select the “EXECUTE”
icon and press the [ENTER] button. The automix is stored.

Automix Memory
Automix memory is shared between the current automix and the stored
automixes. This means that a “Memory Full” error message could appear
even though there are empty automix locations. A complex automix,
containing many events, may exceed the memory capacity. If this occurs,
backup and delete any unused automixes and attempt the STORE
operation again.
The default capacity of the 02R automix memory is 480K. You can expand
this to 1.5 MB or 2.5 MB by installing the optional ME4M memory
expansion kits.

2. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the RECALL icon. Use the
encoder wheel to select an automix.
The 02R will scroll through the available automixes. The program that is
highlighted will be recalled when you press the [ENTER] button.
3. Press the [ENTER] button.
The 02R will display a popup confirmation request message asking if you
want to recall selected automix program. The popup has two icons:
“CANCEL” and “EXECUTE”.
CANCEL is the default. To cancel the RECALL operation, either press the
[ENTER] button or wait about 10 seconds—the RECALL operation will be
automatically cancelled.
To recall the automix, use the CURSOR buttons to select the “EXECUTE”
icon and press the [ENTER] button. The automix program is recalled.
Note: When you recall an automix program, you are overwriting the current
automix. Make sure that you have backed up or stored the current automix just in
case.
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE CAREFUL WHEN THE 02R DISPLAYS ITS
CONFIRMATION POPUP MESSAGE!

User Interface

About the User Interface
The 02R user interface is powerful but very intuitive. There are two main
methods of working with the 02R:
•

Use the DISPLAY ACCESS controls to modify one parameter at a time
across the entire recording console.

•

Use the SELECTED CHANNEL controls to modify all of the
parameters of the currently selected channel. You will find these
controls similar to the setup of an analog mixer.

Use whichever method is most convenient to you. You will probably find
you use a combination of both methods, dependent on what you are trying
to do with the 02R.
The DISPLAY ACCESS controls consist of a block of twelve function
buttons divided into three groups: the CONFIGURATION group, the
MIXING group, and the AUX group, plus the large backlit graphical
display, four CURSOR buttons, a detented encoder wheel, and the
[ENTER] button. There is also a related block of four SCENE MEMORY
buttons.
The SELECTED CHANNEL controls consist of four main blocks of
controls, each block corresponding to the equivalent controls on an analog
mixer. The ROUTING block selects the buss onto which to route the current
channel signal. The AUX block selects the auxiliary buss to send the
channel signal to and sets the send level. The PAN block sets the pan
position of the channel signal. The EQ block sets the equalization curve for
the current channel.
The biggest difference between the two methods is that the DISPLAY
ACCESS functions are directly associated with one or more pages on the
display. The following section will briefly explain each of the controls of the
two main blocks. Later sections will give more details about how to use
these controls.

these two sends are routed to the internal effects unit. Therefore, the
buttons also allow you to select and set the effects parameters.

Display
The large backlit 320 × 240 pixel graphical display provides clear indication
of mix settings and operating status. As well as showing parameter values
numerically, faders and rotary controls are represented graphically, so you
can actually see pan positions and fader positions. In addition, EQ curves
are displayed graphically and signal levels are metered. The following
illustration shows information that is always displayed and explains what
it means:
Scene Memory Title and Number

Selected Channel

Display Function Name & Page Number

Tape Return Level
When the [FLIP] button is pressed, these
icons become the channel level indicators and
are highlighted.

Effect Return Level

The page number shows how many pages are available within the selected
function and which one of those pages is currently selected. For example,
SCENE 1/3 indicates that the first page of the three SCENE pages is
selected.
The CONTRAST control allows you to adjust the contrast of the display for
different environments.

02R User’s Guide

User Interface

CURSOR Buttons
The CURSOR buttons are used to select parameters and options on the
display. The selected parameter or option usually appears highlighted.
CURSOR

The CURSOR buttons are also used to position the cursor in a name when
naming automix mixes, scene memories, EQ programs, effects programs,
dynamics programs, and channel library programs.
When a display left or right icon appears at the left or right side of a page,
indicating that another display page is available, the CURSOR buttons are
used to select that display.

Encoder Wheel
The encoder wheel is used to adjust the parameter selected using the
CURSOR buttons. Its detented action gives it a positive feel, allowing quick
and accurate parameter adjustments. Turning it clockwise increases the
selected parameter value. Turning it counterclockwise decreases the
selected parameter value. The faster you turn it, the faster the parameter
value changes.
The encoder wheel is also used to scroll through the automix programs,
mix scenes, effects programs, EQ programs, and dynamics processor
programs. When naming automixes, mix scenes, user effects programs,
user EQ programs, and user dynamics programs, the encoder wheel is
used to scroll through the available characters.

ENTER Button
ENTER

The [ENTER] button is used to confirm settings made using the encoder
wheel and to toggle two-option parameters such as EQ ON/OFF.

Analog Inputs
The 02R is equipped with 24 analog input connectors. The first sixteen
channels, 1 through 16, are mono input channels designed for microphone
to line level signal inputs. The last eight channels, 17 through 24, are stereo
channels designed for line level signals only.

In addition, the first eight channels not only have selectable input
connectors, XLR-type or phone, but they also have an insert connector,
allowing you to patch external signal processors before the input signal is
converted to digital.
For monitoring the output of a stereo tape recorder or another similar
analog device, the 02R also has two pairs of 2TR IN phone connectors.

Phantom Power
+48V

ON

A
B

Phantom power provides a +48 V DC power source for condenser type
microphones. It is applied to the XLR-type connectors (INPUT A) for input
channels 1 through 8. The phantom power switch for each channel is used
to turn it ON and OFF. Phantom power is applied to each individual input.
Phantom power can only be applied to the XLR-type connectors
(INPUT A) for input channels 1 through 8. Select those connectors with the
A/B switch: up for A, down for B.
With phantom power set to ON, non-phantom powered microphones,
dynamic microphones, and balanced line-level sources can still be
connected to INPUT A connectors for input channels 1 through 8.
However, be careful with unbalanced sources.

02R User’s Guide

Mixing and Monitoring

27

Pad
20dB

The Pad function attenuates input signals by 20 dB. This is useful when
inputting high level signals that would otherwise overload the input
preamplifier. By increasing the effective range of the GAIN control,
high-level signals can be adjusted accurately. Pad can be set individually
for the mono input channels 1 through 16. The [20 dB] (pad) switch at the
top of each channel is used to turn it ON and OFF: up for OFF, down for
ON.

GAIN Controls

-16

GAIN

PEAK
SIGNAL

-40
-60

The GAIN controls are used to optimize the input channel signal levels.
Use them with the PEAK indicators. This red LED illuminates when the
input signal exceeds 3 dB below clipping. Ideally the level should be set
relatively high. It is acceptable if this LED illuminates occasionally. If it is
continuously illuminated, however, back off the GAIN control a little,
otherwise the input preamplifier is being overloaded and clipping
distortion will result.
The GAIN control should be set with some care. If it is set too low, the
signal-to-noise performance will suffer, and if it is set too high, unpleasant
signal clipping and distortion may occur.
The SIGNAL indicator is a green LED which illuminates when the input
signal exceeds 10 dB below nominal.
The analog input controls are not controlled or stored by the 02R automix
and scene memory functions. To assist in easy recall of the gain setting, the
GAIN controls are detented. You should note the analog settings on a copy
of the User Settings Sheet at the back of the manual.

SEL Buttons

SEL

The [SEL] buttons are used to select a channel in order to perform some
action on it. When a channel is selected, the LED set in the corresponding
button lights up and its name appears in the Selected Channel area of the
display. Stereo-pair channels are selected together.
Note: You can use the [SEL] buttons to create stereo-pair channels. Refer to
“Pairing Channels” on page 184 of the User’s Guide.
The SELECTED CHANNEL controls are set to the current status of the
selected channel. Depending on which display function is active, the
selected channel may be highlighted, or the entire display may be
dedicated to its parameters.

The [ON] buttons are used to turn channels on and off. The input channel,
tape return channel, effect return channel, and stereo output [ON] buttons
turn their respective channels on and off. When a channel is turned on, the

Fader positions are stored when the 02R is powered OFF. Even if faders are
subsequently moved, they return automatically to their last positions when
the 02R is powered ON again.
Note: You should avoid placing objects on the 02R that may block fader
movements. There are several operations, such as recalling a scene memory,
selecting the auxiliary buses, and automix playback, that automatically move the
faders. If a fader is blocked, it could be damaged as it attempts to move.

Rotary Encoders
To adjust the levels of the tape and effect return channels, the 02R provides
a continuously rotary encoder for each channel. The channel levels are
indicated by the Tape Return Level and Effect Return Level icons at the
bottom of the display.

FLIP Button

FLIP

Although the rotary encoders are reasonably accurate, there will be times,
for example during a mixdown, when you want the increased accuracy
and feel of a fader to adjust the tape return levels.
The faders for input channels 1 through 16 are multifunction controls.
When you press the [FLIP] button, the faders switch to adjusting the tape
returns. The Tape Return icons are highlighted to indicate the input
channels have moved up to the TAPE controls, and the LED in the [FLIP]
button is illuminated.

These buttons select the monitor signal sent to the studio monitor system.
In many studios, this would be a headphone amplifier, typically one that
could drive several sets of headphones. This system provides the
monitoring that your musicians need in order to successfully work on a
multitrack recording.

STUDIO

You can select the same signal that is being monitored in the control room
with the [C-R] button. When you press this button, it cancels the current
settings. When you press it again, it restores the previous settings.
You can send the signal from the stereo bus by pressing the [ST] button.
The most flexible approach is to set up a separate mix using one of the
auxiliary channels (press either the [AUX 5] or [AUX 6] button), and send
that to the studio monitors. This allows you, for example, to apply reverb
and equalization to the monitor signal you send to your vocalist, while you
record the performance dry. You can select any combination of the [ST],
[AUX 5], and [AUX 6] buttons—including none.

to monitor a “typical” listening environment.
You can select one of five 2TR IN inputs, three of which are digital (the
2TR-D1 to 2TR-D3 buttons). These inputs are used for monitoring two
track source signals, for example, the return of your master recorder. When
you press any of these buttons, the current setting is cancelled. When you
press the button again, the previous setting is restored.

CONTROL ROOM

You can also monitor the signal on the stereo bus with the [ST] button or
select the auxiliary channels (AUX 5 or AUX 6). You can select any
combination of the [ST], [AUX 5], and [AUX 6] buttons—including none.

Phase and Attenuation
1. Press the [∅/ATT] button.

Ø/ATT

The ∅/ATT page
appears.
2. Select a channel using
the [SEL] buttons or the
CURSOR buttons.
3. To change the phase,
press the [ENTER] button.
The NOR icon changes
to REV and is
highlighted.
4. To change the
attenuation, rotate the
encoder wheel until the
desired value is shown.
5. To set all channels
(except the stereo
output) to the same
phase and attenuation,
double-click the
(ENTER) button.

Phase
The Phase function reverses the phase of an input signal by 180 degrees.
The phase can be set for MIC/LINE inputs 1 to 24, TAPE inputs 1 to 16, and
the effects returns. Phase reversal can be used to compensate for incorrectly
wired balanced cables and microphones. When a snare drum is miked top
and bottom, the channel connected to the bottom microphone can be phase
reversed to prevent phase cancellation.
NOR—normal phase
REV—reversed phase
The Phase functions of adjacent channels are not linked when those
channels are configured as a stereo pair. Likewise, the Phase functions of
odd and even channels 17 to 24 always work independently. The effects
returns have only one phase control each, so the left and right signals of
these channels are always controlled together. The stereo output does not
have a phase reverse function. Phase can also be set on the View 1/2 page.

Attenuation
After A/D conversion, input signals can be attenuated using the
Attenuation function. Signals can be attenuated from 0 dB to –96 dB in 1 dB
steps. The stereo output can be attenuated from +12 dB to –96 dB. For the
TAPE inputs, the Attenuation function comes after de-emphasis.
Attenuation can be used to compensate for level increases caused by EQ
boosting or dynamics processing. Instead of using a GAIN control to
reduce a boosted signal, it’s better to use the Attenuation function.
Although levels can be reduced using the GAIN controls, this also reduces
the level of the signal being fed to the A/D converter, which is not desired.
The Attenuation function comes after the A/D converter, so conversion
performance is not affected.
The Attenuation functions of adjacent channels are not linked when those
channels are configured as a stereo pair. Likewise, the Attenuation
functions of odd and even channels 17 to 24 always work independently.
The effects returns and stereo output channels have only one Attenuation
control each, so the left and right signals of these channels are always
controlled together.
Attenuation can also be set on the View 1/2 and EQ 1/2 pages. However,
operation for input channels 17 to 24, and MIC or TAPE channels
configured as stereo pairs is as follows: since only one attenuation control is
displayed on the View or EQ page, the attenuation functions of each
channel are linked to preserve their relative settings. If the channel whose
control cannot be seen reaches the minimum or maximum attenuation
setting, a message appears.

(ENTER) button.

02R User’s Guide

The DELAY display function is used to apply a small amount of delay to
input or return signals to compensate for situations such as line or cabling
delays or the gap between the record and playback heads (or circuitry) of
your multitrack recorder. You can delay a signal from 0 to 2,600
samples—at 44.1 kHz this is a delay of 0 to 59.0 ms and at 48 kHz it is a
delay of 0 to 54.2 ms.
Delay can be applied to any of the input channels and the tape and effect
return channels. The stereo input channels are always ganged together. The
MIC/LINE and TAPE channels are set independently only when they are
not linked together in GANG mode with the PAN function

Delay and Cascade
If you use a digital cascade kit (CD8-CS) to connect more than four 02Rs
together, you will need to use the DELAY display function to apply delay
to the machines closest to the output. Set a delay value of 10 to 20 samples
for each unit.
The digital cascade kit will automatically apply the correct amount of delay
when you connect four or less 02Rs together. See “Cascade Configuration”
on page 191 of the User’s Guide.

Delay Pages
There are two pages to the DELAY 1/1 function. The first page, shown
below, contains the Delay controls for MIC/LINE channels 1 to 24, and
appears when one of these channels is selected.

MIXING Display Functions

35

The second page, shown below, contains the Delay controls for TAPE
channels 1 to 16 and effects returns (EFF 1 and EFF 2), and appears when
one of these channels is selected.

Fine-Tuning the Delay
You can adjust the delay, either samples [Smpl] or milliseconds [mSEC]
with coarse or fine precision just by the placement of the cursor on the
selected channel.
For example, if the cursor is positioned over the thousands digit of the
samples [Smpl] field, when you rotate the encoder wheel, the values
increase or decrease by thousands of samples.

If the cursor is positioned over the hundreds or tens digit of the samples
field, when you rotate the encoder wheel, the values increase or decrease
by hundreds or tens of samples.

The same is true when the cursor is positioned over the ones digit of the
samples field, or the tens, ones, or decimal digits of the milliseconds
[mSEC] field.

EQ
1. Use the (EQ) button to
select the EQ 1/2 page.

EQ

2. Select a channel using
the [SEL] buttons.

The 02R is equipped with a four-band, fully parametric EQ, with variable
bandwidth, center frequency, gain, and ON/OFF parameters.
EQ can be applied to the input channels (MIC/LINE 1 through 16, LINE
17/18 through 23/24), the tape and effect return channels (TAPE 1 through
16, EFF1 and EFF2), and the stereo output. For stereo channels, the
equalization curve is applied equally to both channels.
Shown below is the EQ 1/2 page.

3. Use the CURSOR buttons
to select the EQ ON
icon. Press the [ENTER]
button to turn the EQ on
or off.
The icon changes from
ON to OFF. When the EQ
is on, the icon is
highlighted.
4. Select a icon using the
CURSOR buttons, for
example the “F” control
for the H-MID band.
5. To change the value of
the selected item,
rotate the encoder
wheel until the desired
value is shown.

Similar to the VIEW display function, the EQ display function shows the
equalization for the currently selected channel only.
The top of the display shows the EQ library icon, the equalization curve,
and a level meter for the currently selected channel pair. The vertical dotted
line in the equalization curve indicates the center frequency of the selected
band.
The bottom of the display contains the icons for adjusting the parameters
for the currently selected channel:
•

ATT—The attenuator rotary icon is used to attenuate the channel level.
Operation for input channels 17 to 24, and MIC or TAPE channels
configured as stereo pairs is as follows: since only one attenuation
control is displayed on the EQ page, the attenuation functions of each
channel are linked to preserve their relative settings. If the channel
whose control cannot be seen reaches the minimum or maximum
attenuation setting, a message appears. The indicators in the PAN
[L/ODD] and [R/EVEN] buttons indicate whether the left or right
channel of a pair is selected.

02R User’s Guide

52

MIXING Display Functions
This control duplicate Attenuation function. See “Phase and Attenuation”
on page 32 of the User’s Guide.
Note: The attenuator rotary icon is adjusting the same parameter as in the
∅/ATT display function. When you boost the gain of the equalization curve,
you may cause the overall signal level to reach CLIP. Watch the level meters
for the selected pair as you adjust the EQ values. If CLIP is reached, digital
signal distortion will occur.
•

EQ ON icon—Indicates the status of the EQ, on or off. The text “ON” is
highlighted when the EQ is on.

•

Rotary icons—There is an icon for bandwidth (Q), center frequency
(F), and gain (G) for each of the four bands, LOW, L-MID, H-MID, and
HIGH.

Use the CURSOR buttons to select the desired icon and adjust its value
with the rotary encoder. Switch the EQ on or off by pressing the [ENTER]
button.

Surround Pan

About Surround Pan
The 02R Surround Pan function supports 2+2, 3+1, and 3+2+1 surround
modes, making it ideal for sophisticated surround sound production.
Sounds can be moved freely around a two-dimensional sound space, or
along preset circle, ellipse, semicircle, or diagonal trajectories. Surround
channels can be transferred directly to a digital multitrack recorder via
YGDAI (DIGITAL I/O 5/5). In addition, surround channels can be output
via the analog aux sends (SETUP 2/4).

Output Assignments
The following table shows how the surround channels are assigned to the
02R bus outs in each mode. Connect the bus outs that correspond to the
mode you are using to a surround sound monitoring system or recorder.
Use the DIGITAL I/O 5/5 page to set the bus out to I/O card assignments.
See “Slot Output Select” on page 194.

semicircular trajectory. Use the width and depth parameters to set
the size and shape of the semicircle. The shape can be adjusted
from a semicircle to a narrow oval. Use the offset parameters to
offset the trajectory to the left, right, front, or rear. The following
illustrations show some typical trajectories.

Circle—The sound moves on a circular trajectory. Use the width
and depth parameters to set the size and shape. The shape can be
adjusted from a perfect circle to a narrow oval. Use the offset
parameters to offset the trajectory to the left, right, front, or rear.

ROUTING
Pattern

2. Use the [SEL) buttons to
select a channel.
3. Use the CURSOR buttons
to select the ST LINK
icon, and then press the
(ENTER) button.
4. Use the CURSOR buttons
to select the PATTERN
parameter, and the
encoder wheel to select
a pattern.

Note: ST LINK settings are not stored in channel library programs. So when a
channel program is recalled and the destination channel is using ST LINK, the
surround settings of the other linked channel are changed to match. Also, when the
surround settings of a stereo channel are stored, only the settings of the selected
channel are stored.
By default, ST LINK is turned on for stereo channels. Note that if just the ST
LINK parameter is turned off, it is possible to overwrite the pan
movements of the other channel during subsequent automix recording.

ROUTING

Surround Pan Notes
Surround pan settings can be stored and recalled using scene memories.
The FAST parameter setting on the ROUTING 4/4 page, however, is not
stored.
Real-time surround pan adjustments can be recorded in an automix, and on
the SETUP 4/4 page—Preferences 2—you can choose which surround
parameters are recorded: X/Y (surround pan position), CSR (Center:Side
ratio), and SWF (subwoofer).
Although it is possible to select other trajectories on the ROUTING 4/4
page while automix recording is in progress, these actions are not recorded.
Likewise, the ST LINK parameter cannot be turned on or off while
recording. In both cases an “Automix Running” message appears. To
automate these parameters, store the settings in a scene memory and use
the automix to recall that.
When channels are linked using ST LINK, the X/Y pan movements of both
channels are recorded regardless of which channel is selected. CSR and
subwoofer adjustments, however, are recorded only for the selected
channel. Of course, if the channels are configured as a stereo pair, CSR and
subwoofer adjustments of both channels are recorded.
The X/Y pan movements of left and right channels in a stereo pair cannot
be recorded individually. Note that if the ST LINK parameter is turned off
after X/Y pan movements have been recorded, it is possible to overwrite
the X/Y pan movements of the other channel during subsequent automix
recording.

Dynamics Processors
Dynamics processors are generally used to correct or control signal levels.
However, you can also use them creatively to shape the volume envelope
of a sound. The 02R features comprehensive dynamics processors for all
the input channels, tape returns, and the bus and stereo outputs. These
processors allow you to compress, expand, compress-expand (compand),
gate, or duck the signals passing through the mixer, giving you
unparalleled sonic quality and flexibility.

Compressor

dB

+20

Compression ratio = 2:1

+10

A compressor provides a form of automatic level control. By attenuating
high levels, thus effectively reducing the dynamic range, the compressor
makes it much easier to control signals and set appropriate fader levels.
Reducing the dynamic range also means that recording levels can be set
higher, therefore improving the signal-to-noise performance.

Threshold determines the level of input signal required to trigger the
compressor. Signals at a level below the threshold pass through unaffected.
Signals at and above the threshold level are compressed by the amount
specified using the Ratio parameter. The trigger signal is determined using
the KEY IN parameter.
Note: See “KEY IN” on page 84 of the User’s Guide for an explanation of the
KEY IN parameter.
Ratio controls the amount of compression—the change in output signal
level relative to change in input signal level. With a 2:1 ratio, for example, a
10 dB change in input level (above the threshold) results in a 5 dB change in
output level. For a 5:1 ratio, a 10 dB change in input level (above the
threshold) results in a 2 dB change in output level.
Attack controls how soon the signal is compressed once the compressor
has been triggered. With a fast attack time, the signal is compressed almost
immediately. With a slow attack time, the initial transient of a sound passes
through unaffected.
Out Gain sets the compressor’s output signal level. Compression tends to
reduce the average signal level. Out Gain can be used to counter this level
reduction and set an appropriate level for the next stage in the audio path.

02R User’s Guide

78

Dynamics
Knee sets the transition of the signal at the threshold. With a hard knee, the
transition between uncompressed and compressed signal is immediate.
With the softest knee, knee5, the transition starts before the signal reaches
the threshold and gradually ends above the threshold.
Release determines how soon the compressor returns to its normal gain
once the trigger signal level drops below the threshold. If the release time is
too short, the gain will recover too quickly causing level
pumping—noticeable gain fluctuations. If it is set too long, the compressor
may not have time to recover before the next high level signal appears, and
it will be compressed incorrectly.

Threshold determines the level of input signal required to trigger the
expander. Signals above the threshold pass through unaffected. Signals at
and below the threshold level are attenuated by the amount specified using
the Ratio parameter. The trigger signal is determined using the KEY IN
parameter.
Ratio controls the amount of expansion—the change in output signal level
relative to change in input signal level. With a 1:2 ratio, for example, a 5 dB
change in input level (below the threshold) results in a 10 dB change in
output level. For a 1:5 ratio, a 2 dB change in input level (below the
threshold) results in a 10 dB change in output level.
Attack controls how soon the signal is expanded once the expander has
been triggered. With a fast attack time, the signal is expanded almost
immediately. With a slow attack time, the initial transient of a sound passes
through unaffected.
Out Gain sets the expander’s output signal level.
Knee sets the transition of the signal at the threshold. With a hard knee, the
transition between unexpanded and expanded signal is immediate. With
the softest knee, knee5, the transition starts before the signal reaches the
threshold and gradually ends above the threshold.
Release determines how soon the expander returns to its normal gain once
the trigger signal level drops below the threshold.

Threshold determines the level of input signal required to trigger the
compander. Signals above the threshold pass through unaffected. Signals at
and below the threshold level are attenuated by the amount specified using
the Ratio parameter. The trigger signal is determined using the KEY IN
parameter.
Ratio controls the amount of companding—the change in output signal
level relative to change in input signal level. With a 2:1 ratio, for example, a
10 dB change in input level (above the threshold) results in a 5 dB change in
output level. The hard compander (CPH) has a fixed ratio of 5:1 for
expansion and the soft compander (CPS) has a fixed ratio of 1.5:1 for
expansion.
Attack controls how soon the signal is companded once the compander has
been triggered. With a fast attack time, the signal is companded almost
immediately. With a slow attack time, the initial transient of a sound passes
through unaffected.
Out Gain sets the compander’s output signal level.
Width is used to determine the distance, in decibels, between the expander
and the compressor. With a width of 90 dB, the expander is effectively
switched off and the compander is simply a compressor-limiter. With a
smaller width (30dB) and a high threshold (0dB), the compander is an
expander-compressor-limiter.
Release determines how soon the compander returns to its normal gain
once the trigger signal level drops below the threshold.

Threshold sets the level at which the gate closes, cutting off the signal.
Signals above the threshold level pass through unaffected. Signals at or
below the threshold cause the gate to close.
For ducking, trigger signal levels at and above the threshold level activate
ducking, and the signal level is reduced to a level set by the Range
parameter.
The trigger signal is determined using the KEY IN parameter.
Range controls the level to which the gate closes. It can be used to reduce
the signal level rather than cut it completely. At a setting of –70 dB, the gate
closes completely when the input signal falls below the threshold. At a
setting of –30 dB, the gate only closes so far allowing an attenuated signal
through. At a setting of 0 dB, the gate has no effect. When signals are gated
abruptly, the sudden cutoff can sound odd.
For ducking, a setting of –70 dB causes the signal to be virtually cutoff. At a
setting of –30 dB the signal is ducked by 30 dB. At a setting of 0 dB, the
duck has no effect.
Attack determines how fast the gate opens when the signal exceeds the
threshold level. Slow attack times can be used to remove the initial
transient edge of percussive sounds. Too slow an attack time makes some
signals sound backwards.

02R User’s Guide

82

Dynamics
For ducking, this controls how soon the signal is ducked once the duck has
been triggered. With a fast attack time, the signal is ducked almost
immediately. With a slow attack time, ducking fades the signal. Too fast an
attack time may sound abrupt.
Hold sets how long the gate stays open or the ducking remains active once
the trigger signal has fallen below the threshold level.
Decay controls how fast the gate closes once the hold time has expired. A
longer decay time produces a more natural gating effect, allowing the
natural decay of an instrument to pass through.
For ducking, this determines how soon the ducker returns to its normal
gain after the hold time has expired.

DYNAMICS Display Function
1. Use the [DYNAMICS]
button to locate the
DYNAMICS 1/2 page.

DYNAMICS

Dynamics can be applied to the input channels (MIC/LINE 1 through 16,
LINE 17/18 through 23/24), the tape return channels (TAPE 1 through 16),
the internal bus outputs (BUS 1 through 8), and the stereo output. For
stereo and paired channels, the dynamics processor is applied equally to
both channels.
Shown below is the DYNAMICS 1/2 page.

2. Select a channel using
the [SEL] buttons.
Note: Press the [SEL]
button for the STEREO
channel to access the
dynamics processors for the
output buses.

The DYNAMICS 1/2 page shows the dynamics settings of the currently
selected channel.
The top of the page contains the dynamics LIB icon, the DYNAMICS icon,
the main control prompts (KEY IN, ST.LINK, and optionally IN), the
dynamics graph, and the gain reduction meter plus a level meter for the
currently selected channel pair.
The bottom of the page is split into two main sections:
The first section shows the channel KEY IN settings and LINK icons. These
settings can be changed using the CURSOR buttons, the encoder wheel,
and [ENTER] button.
The second section contains the controls for adjusting the parameters for
the currently selected channel. There are rotary icons for the threshold,
ratio, output gain, attack, release, and so on, depending on which dynamics
program you have selected. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the desired
icon and adjust its value with the encoder wheel. Press the [ENTER] button

KEY IN

SELF - POST EQ, SELF - PRE EQ, LEFT - POST EQ,
LEFT - PRE EQ, AUX 1, AUX 2

ST.LINK

ON, OFF

IN

BOTH, L (left/odd), R (right/even)

KEY IN selects the processor trigger source—the signal that triggers, or
activates the processor. You can select the current channel either before or
after equalization, the left channel (again either before or after
equalization), or either AUX 1 or AUX 2.
You cannot select the left channel (before or after equalization) for the first
input channel, MIC/LINE 1, the first tape return channel, TAPE 1, the first
bus channel, or the stereo output channel.
ST.LINK determines if a channel pair is to be linked together. You cannot
turn it off while channels are configured as a stereo pair.
IN appears only when ST.LINK is set to ON. It determines whether a
dynamics processor is patched into just the left/odd channel (L),
right/even channel (R), or both (BOTH).
Note: The DYNAMICS ON/OFF, KEY IN, ST.LINK, and IN parameters are
not stored in the dynamics programs. These are individual channel (or stereo pair)
parameters and are stored in the scene memories. DYNAMICS ON/OFF can be
stored in channel programs.

Dynamics Processor Meters
The amount of processor gain reduction (GR) and the output signal levels
are shown on the DYNAMICS 1/2 and 2/2 pages, as shown below.

Gain reduction is the amount by which a signal’s level is reduced. The
output signal levels are conventional level meters which work from
bottom-to-top. The GR level meter is inverted and works from
top-to-bottom.
For compression, expansion, companding, and ducking, the GR meter
operates when the processor is active, that is when it has been triggered by
the KEY IN signal, and it shows the amount of signal level reduction.
For a gate, the processor is active when the input signal is below the
threshold. So the GR meter operates when the input signal is below the
threshold and also when there is no input signal.

Dynamics Graph
The dynamics graph gives you a visual indication of how the parameters of
the dynamics processor will effect the signal as it passes through. The
horizontal axis of the graph indicates the input signal. The vertical axis
indicates the output signal:

When the dynamics graph is a straight line at 45° from the bottom left
corner of the graph, it indicates that the dynamics processor will have no
effect on the input signal.

About the 02R Auxiliaries
The 02R has eight auxiliary sends: AUX 1, AUX 2, AUX 3, AUX 4, AUX 5,
AUX 6, AUX 7, and AUX 8. The auxiliary sends can be configured
pre-fader or post-fader.
AUX 7 and AUX 8 are used to feed the internal effects processors: Effect 1
and Effect 2. EFF 1 RTN and EFF 2 RTN are used to return the processed
signals. Refer to “Internal Effects” on page 103 of the User’s Guide for
further details.
The other auxiliary sends can be used to feed external effects processors,
foldback amplifiers, or multitrack recording equipment. When a send is
used to feed an external effects processor, the processed signal can be
returned via one of the stereo input channels or an unused monophonic
input channel.
There are two different ways to access the auxiliary send channels:

DISPLAY ACCESS—AUX buttons
AUX 1

AUX 2

AUX 5

AUX 6

AUX 3

AUX 4

AUX 7
EFF1

AUX 8

AUX

These buttons access the AUX pages that set the auxiliary send levels for
the recording console.
•

The [AUX 1] to [AUX 6] buttons set the auxiliary send levels to the
corresponding auxiliary bus. You can also select whether to send the
signal pre or post fader.

•

The [AUX 7] and [AUX 8] buttons also set the send levels to the
corresponding auxiliary bus and can select pre or post fader. However,
these two sends are routed to the internal effects unit. Therefore, the
buttons also allow you to select and set the effects parameters.

The channel aux send level controls for each aux send are displayed on two
pages. The first page shows MIC/LINE aux controls. The second, TAPE
and effects returns aux controls.

The AUX Buttons
1. Press the [AUX 1] button.

The AUX functions for AUX 1 through AUX 6 set the channel send levels to
each of the auxiliary buses. With this function, you can select an auxiliary
bus and then set the levels of a group of input channels simultaneously.
You can also select whether to send the signal pre or post fader.

AUX 1

The AUX 1 page
appears.
2. Select a channel using
the [SEL] buttons or the
CURSOR buttons.
3. To turn the send on,
press the [ON] button in
the AUX group of the
SELECTED CHANNEL
controls. The LED inset in
the button illuminates.
Note: The [ON] button is
the only way to turn the send
on or off.
4. To change the aux send
from pre to post-fader,
press the [ENTER] button.
The icon is highlighted
and the text changes to
POST when the signal is
post fader.
Note: Pre or post fader
selection can only be made
from the AUX pages.
5. To change the signal
level, adjust the
corresponding fader or
rotary encoder until the
desired value is
obtained.
Note: This example only
shows AUX 1. The other
channels are identical in
function.

Fader Status
When the AUX functions are selected, the faders change from channel level
controls to auxiliary send level controls. The faders automatically move to
the corresponding auxiliary send levels.
Note: Avoid blocking the fader movements when the faders move to their
auxiliary send positions by placing objects on the 02R. It is possible to damage the
faders.
The AUX LED of the FADER STATUS indicator will illuminate to indicate
the fader status. The number indicator corresponding to current the AUX
button is also illuminated:
FADER STATUS
INPUT
AUX

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8

The send levels for the input channels are operated by their faders. Press
the [FLIP] button, and the send levels for the tape return channels can be
operated by the faders. You can also use the rotary encoders to set the tape
return levels. The effect return levels can only be adjusted with the rotary
encoders.
Note: When you press the [FLIP] button, the faders will automatically move to
the levels of the opposite channels (from input levels to tape return levels). Avoid
blocking the fader movements when the faders reposition by placing objects on the
02R. It is possible to damage the faders.

SELECTED CHANNEL Controls
You can use the SEND LEVEL encoder in the AUX group of the SELECTED
CHANNEL controls to set the signal level to the auxiliary bus. The method
of working with these controls is different than working with the DISPLAY
ACCESS—AUX buttons.

02R User’s Guide

100

Auxiliary Channels
Select a channel with the [SEL] buttons. Select the auxiliary bus with the
[AUX 1] through [AUX 8/EFF 2] buttons. Turn the send on or off with the
[ON] button. Adjust the send level with the SEND LEVEL encoder.

SEND LEVEL

AUX Pages
The channel aux send level controls for each aux send are displayed on two
pages. The first page, shown below, shows aux controls for MIC/LINE
channels 1 to 24. Select this page using a MIC/LINE [SEL] button.

The second page shows aux controls for TAPE channels 1 to 16 and effects
returns 1 and 2. Select this page using a TAPE or EFF RTN [SEL] button.

02R User’s Guide

Auxiliary Channels

101

Stereo Input Channels
Input channels 1 through 16 are mono inputs. The stereo input channels 17
through 24 are paired together and handle two signals: left and right.
Before feeding a stereo input signal to the auxiliary level controls, the left
and right signals are summed to form a mono L+R mix.

AUX [ON] Button
The auxiliary sends can be turned on or off for quick A-B comparisons by
using the [ON] button in the AUX group of the SELECTED CHANNEL
controls. When the send for a channel is turned off, the send level icon for
that channel continues to show the current level setting for the channel, but
the text underneath the icon switches to “OFF” giving you a quick visual
indicator of the channel send status:

The LED inset in the [ON] button is illuminated when the send for a
channel is turned on.
Note: The [ON] button of the SELECTED CHANNEL – AUX controls is the
only way to turn the channel send on or off.

AUX Pre or Post
The auxiliary sends can be configured as pre-fader or post-fader. This
setting can be changed by selecting a channel with a [SEL] button or the
CURSOR buttons and pressing the [ENTER] button for that channel.
If you select a channel with a [SEL] button or the CURSOR buttons and
double-click the [ENTER] button, all channels will be set to the same
pre-fader or post-fader status as the selected channel.

02R User’s Guide

102

Auxiliary Channels
POST —the auxiliary send signal is sourced after the channel fader. This
means that the signal is controlled by the channel fader as well as the send
level. In order to send a signal to the auxiliary bus, you must have that
fader raised as well. This enables the channel-to-mix and channel-to-effects
signal levels to be controlled together, with the former supplying the dry,
unaffected signal and the latter supplying the wet, affected signal. This is
useful when, for example, you fade-out a channel, since the channel-to-mix
and channel-to-effects signals are reduced together.
PRE—the auxiliary send signal is sourced before the channel fader. The
send signal is unaffected by the channel fader and its level can be set
independently.
Note: Pre or post-fader selection can only be made from the corresponding AUX
page.

Monitor Mix
1. Press the [AUX 5] button.

AUX 5

The AUX 5 page
appears.
2. Select a channel using
the [SEL] buttons or the
CURSOR buttons.
3. Set the send on and set it
to pre/post fader as
detailed previously.
4. Press the [AUX 5] button
of the STUDIO buttons
group.
5. Adjust the STUDIO LEVEL
control, then adjust the
channel level using the
appropriate faders or
rotary encoders.

The 02R has two different monitoring outputs—the control room outputs
(including the PHONES output) and the studio outputs.
Often during a multitrack recording session, what you want to listen to in
the control room is very different from what the musicians need in the
studio. For example, while recording a rhythm section, the bass player and
the drummer may want to hear the kick drum at a much higher volume
than you need in the control room.
To cater to this requirement, the 02R allows you to create a monitor mix
using either AUX 5 or AUX 6.
Use the STUDIO buttons to select the monitor signal sent to the studio
monitor system. You can monitor the signal on the stereo bus with the [ST]
button or select the auxiliary channels (AUX 5 or AUX 6). You can select
any combination of the [ST], [AUX 5], and [AUX 6] buttons:

C-R

ST

AUX 5

AUX 6

STUDIO

You can also use the [C-R] button to send the signal being monitored in the

About Effects
The 02R features two internal multi-effects stereo processors: Effect 1 and
Effect 2. These are fed by AUX 7 and AUX 8, and the processed signals are
returned via EFF 1 RTN and EFF 2 RTN, respectively. The auxiliary sends
can be configured pre-fader or post-fader. Effects can be applied to input
channels, the tape return channels, or the stereo output channel. Effects are
organized into programs. There are 40 preset effects programs (1 through
40) and 88 user effects programs (41 through 128 plus an UNDO buffer) for
you to store your own settings.
There are two different ways to access the internal effects sends:

DISPLAY ACCESS—AUX buttons
AUX 1

AUX 2

AUX 3

AUX 4

AUX 5

AUX 6

AUX 7

AUX 8
EFF2

These buttons access the AUX pages that set the auxiliary send levels for
the recording console.

AUX

The [AUX 7] and [AUX 8] buttons are routed to the internal effects unit.
Use them to set the send levels to the corresponding effects unit and select
pre or post fader. These buttons also allow you to select and set the effects
parameters.
The channel aux send level controls for each aux send are displayed on two
pages. The first page shows MIC/LINE aux controls. The second, TAPE
and effects returns aux controls.

AUX 7 and AUX 8
1. Press the [AUX 7] button.

The AUX functions for AUX 7 and AUX 8 set the channel send levels to
either of these effects buses. Similar to the functions for AUX 1 through
AUX 6, you select an effect bus and then set the levels of a group of input
channels. You can also select whether to send the signals pre or post fader.

AUX 7
EFF1

The AUX 7 page
appears.
2. Select a channel using
the [SEL] buttons or the
cursor buttons.
3. To turn the send on,
press the [ON] button in
the AUX group of the
SELECTED CHANNEL
controls. The LED inset in
the button illuminates.
Note: The [ON] button is
the only way to turn the send
on or off.
4. To change the aux send
from pre to post-fader,
press the [ENTER] button.
The icon is highlighted
and the text changes to
POST when the signal is
post fader.
Note: Pre or post fader
selection can only be made
from the AUX pages.
5. To change the signal
level, adjust the fader or
rotary encoder until the
desired value is
obtained.
Note: AUX 7 and AUX 8
are identical.

Fader Status
When the AUX functions are selected, the faders change from channel level
controls to auxiliary send level controls. The faders automatically move to
the corresponding auxiliary send levels.
Note: Avoid blocking the fader movements when the faders move to their
auxiliary send positions by placing objects on the 02R. It is possible to damage the
faders.
The AUX LED of the FADER STATUS indicator will illuminate to indicate
the fader status. The number indicator corresponding to current the AUX
button is also illuminated:
FADER STATUS
INPUT
AUX

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8

The send levels for the input channels are operated by their faders. Press
the [FLIP] button, and the send levels for the tape return channels can be
operated by the faders. You can also use the rotary encoders to set the tape
return levels. The effect return levels can only be adjusted with the rotary
encoders.
Note: When you press the [FLIP] button, the faders will automatically move to
the levels of the opposite channels (from input levels to tape return levels). Avoid
blocking the fader movements when the faders reposition by placing objects on the
02R. It is possible to damage the faders.

SELECTED CHANNEL Controls
You can use the SEND LEVEL encoder in the AUX group of the SELECTED
CHANNEL controls to set the signal level to the auxiliary bus. The method
of working with these controls is different than working with the DISPLAY
ACCESS—AUX buttons.
Select a channel with the [SEL] buttons. Select the auxiliary bus with the
[AUX 1] through [AUX 8/EFF 2] buttons. Turn the send on or off with the
[ON] button. Adjust the send level with the SEND LEVEL encoder.

What are Scene Memories?

STORE

RECALL

Scene memories are a snapshot of all the 02R mixer setting. There are 96
mix scene memory locations. Each can be titled for easy identification. They
can be stored and recalled manually using the [STORE] and [RECALL]
buttons. They can also be recalled by the automix (AUTOMIX) system or
by using MIDI Program Changes from a computer, MIDI sequencer, or
MIDI footswitch. You can also save scene memories to a MIDI data filer.

SCENE MEMORY

The title and number of the current scene memory are shown at the top left
side of the display.
Scene Memory Number and Title

SCENE MEMORY

The number and status of the scene memory is shown in the SCENE
MEMORY LED beside the display. When you select a new scene memory
with the SCENE MEMORY increment or decrement buttons, the number in
the scene memory indicator flashes.
Use the [RECALL] button to load the selected scene memory into the
current edit buffer. When you first change a parameter in the recalled
memory, the Edit Indicator starts to flash. To save your changes, select a
scene memory with the increment or decrement buttons and press the
[STORE] button. The 02R will request you confirm the action.
To display the number of the scene memory that was stored or recalled last,
press the scene memory increment and decrement buttons together.

02R User’s Guide

Scene Memories

What is Stored in a Scene Memory?
Virtually all 02R mix settings are stored in a scene memory. Settings that are
not stored consist mainly of analog controls and switches. They are: +48V
phantom switches, A/B input switches, 20 dB (pad) switches, GAIN
controls, T/B LEVEL control, STUDIO LEVEL control, PHONES LEVEL
control, C-R LEVEL control, and the display CONTRAST control.
MIDI setup and assignment table data are also not stored in the scene
memory.

What is the Edit Buffer?
The Edit Buffer is the current mix settings. When a scene memory is
recalled, the mix settings of the selected scene memory are written to the
Edit Buffer. When a scene memory is stored, the mix settings in the Edit
Buffer are written to the selected scene memory.
SCENE MEMORY

The first time you adjust a parameter in the current mix settings, the Edit
Indicator of the SCENE MEMORY indicator on the display starts to flash.
This indicates that the current mix settings—those in the Edit Buffer—do
not match those of the scene memory previously recalled.

Edit Indicator

Initial Data and UNDO Memory
The 02R has two special scene memory locations. Scene number ”0“ (zero)
and scene number “U” are read-only memory locations.
Scene number “0—Initial Data” contains the initial mix settings for the 02R.
When you want to reset all the mixer settings to their initial values, recall
this scene memory. Normally, all channel faders move to the minimum
position. You can, however, set the Initial Data Nominal preference so that
they move to the nominal position. Aux and bus master faders move to the
nominal (0.0 dB) position regardless of this preference. See “Preferences”
on page 198.
Scene number “U” is the UNDO memory. It always contains a copy of the
last scene memory. Even if you have pressed the [STORE] button and
confirmed the operation, you can still recall the contents of the overwritten
scene memory by recalling scene number “U”.

select a scene memory.

STORE

RECALL

SCENE MEMORY

2. Press the [STORE] button.
A confirmation dialog
box appears.
3. Use the CURSOR buttons
to select “EXECUTE” and
press the [ENTER] button.
The mix scene is stored.

The 02R has 96 scene memory locations. You can save additional scenes to a
MIDI data filer. Scene memories can be titled for easy identification.
When you are about to store a scene memory, make sure there are no
settings in the Edit Buffer that you do not want to store. Maybe some
settings have been adjusted accidentally, or by someone else. If you are not
sure about the Edit Buffer’s exact contents, first recall the last scene
memory, make the adjustments that you really want, and then store. You
may want to store the current mix settings to an unused scene memory, just
in case.

Storage Confirmation
When you save the mixer settings to a scene memory location, the 02R
displays a confirmation dialog box, with two icons: “CANCEL” and
“EXECUTE”, as shown below:

Note: You can customize your 02R to prevent the dialog box appearing during
the STORE operation. See “Preferences” on page 198 of the User’s Guide for
more information.
CANCEL is the default. To cancel the STORE operation, either press the
[ENTER] button or wait about 10 seconds—the STORE operation will be
automatically cancelled. A prompt indicating the operation has been
cancelled will flash momentarily on the display.
To store your settings, use the CURSOR buttons to select the “EXECUTE”
icon and press the [ENTER] button. The program is stored.
Note: When a scene memory is stored, all the previous data in the selected scene
memory is overwritten. The 02R has an UNDO function, but you should still be
careful not to overwrite an important scene memory.
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE CAREFUL WHEN THE 02R DISPLAYS A
CONFIRMATION DIALOG BOX!

Reorganizing Scene Memories
By recalling a scene memory and then storing it to another location, you
can copy and reorganize your scene memories.

Automix

What is the Automix Function?
One of the most demanding jobs of the recording engineer is taking all
the raw material produced during a multitrack recording session and
mixing it all together into an artistically satisfying master recording. The
ability to setup portions of the mix and then have them playback
automatically as you work on other portions is probably the most
important feature of any digital recording studio.
The 02R has an on-board automix system that memorizes fader positions,
switches individual channels on or off, adjusts the equalization or pan
positions, and changes the auxiliary sends—all based on timecode. It can
record and execute scene memory changes, also determined by timecode.
This allows you to perform an entire mixing session, and then edit
individual channel settings until you have achieved a perfect mix.

What is Stored in an AUTOMIX Memory?
An AUTOMIX memory starts with a scene memory and a start time. As
each parameter is adjusted, the adjustment and the associated time is
recorded in memory. The following parameters can be recorded in an
automix. Some parameters can only be recorded when the corresponding
overwrite check box is checked on the AUTOMIX 1/7 page. Other
parameters can be recorded at any time.

02R User’s Guide

•

FADER—Input and output level events (faders/rotary encoders)
(FADER overwrite check box)

•

CH ON—Channel on/off (mute) events (CH ON overwrite check box)

•

PAN—pan events (PAN overwrite check box)

•

•

EFLIB—Effects library program recall events

139

To record a mix scene or library program recall in real time, start automix
recording and then recall the scene or program as normal. The recall
action will be recorded by the automix as a recall event, and can then be
edited on the AUTOMIX 5/7 page.

What is the 02R Memory Capacity?
The 02R has a current AUTOMIX buffer and 16 AUTOMIX memories.
There is also an undo buffer. Only the current mix can be played back and
recorded. You can store the current mix in any of the 16 automix
memories.
The default memory capacity of the 02R is 480K. Total size of the current
mix and the 16 AUTOMIX memories should be under 480K. If you find
yourself running out of memory, you can download unused AUTOMIX
memories to a storage device, such as a MIDI data filer, then clear the
memories. You can also expand the available memory with 1 MB
expansion kits (ME4M). You can install up to two of these kits in the 02R,
resulting in a maximum memory size of approx. 2.5 MB.

What is the Current Buffer?
The only automix program that can be recorded or played back is the
current AUTOMIX buffer. When you perform edits to the current buffer,
its previous state is saved in an undo buffer. You can always undo the last
edit operation.
Note: You cannot undo a STORE operation. Once you have confirmed the
operation, the previous AUTOMIX memory contents have been overwritten.

02R User’s Guide

Automix

What is Timecode?
Timecode is a signal that contains a chronological record of the absolute
time in a recording. It is used for synchronizing different recorders. It can
be used for electronic editing. Timecode was initially invented for the
motion picture business, as a method of synchronizing the pictures
recorded in the frames of a camera to the sound recorded on tape
recorder.
The 02R supports four types of timecode:
•

SMPTE timecode

•

MTC (MIDI timecode)

•

Internal timecode (for leaning Automix)

•

MIDI (MIDI Clock)

When you synchronize the 02R to an external device such as a multitrack
recorder or MIDI sequencer, the external device will provide SMPTE or
MTC timecode to allow the automix to synchronize with the data on the
recorder or sequencer.

Using SMPTE Timecode
SMPTE timecode is a synchronization signal developed for the film and
television industries (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers).
It is normally implemented as timing pulses converted into an audio
signal and recorded onto tape or film. Some devices are able to transmit
SMPTE timecode directly.
SMPTE indicates an absolute time in hours:minutes:seconds:frames.
There are four basic formats, depending on the number of frames that a
second is divided into:
•

24 frames per second

•

25 frames per second

•

29.97 frames per second (30 drop frame)

•

30 frames per second (29.97/30 non-drop frame)

Use SMPTE timecode when you want to synchronize an 02R automix
with video recorders, a multitrack recorder, or other film and video
post-production recorders.

02R User’s Guide

Automix

141

Connections
If the connected device can directly output SMPTE timecode, use an
audio cable to connect the output to the TIME CODE INPUT—SMPTE
connector on the back of the 02R.
If the connected device does not have a dedicated SMPTE output
connector, record the timecode onto a spare track (in the case of a
multitrack recorder) or a special track (in the case of a video recorder or
film post-production recorder) and connect the output from that track to
the timecode input connector on the 02R.

Using MIDI Timecode (MTC)
MTC is a MIDI System message that indicates absolute time in
hours:minutes:seconds:frames, in the same fashion as SMPTE. MTC is an
alternate method of transferring the timecode data from one device to
another.
Use MTC when you want to synchronize an 02R automix with MIDI
sequencers or a multitrack recorder that has MTC output jacks. Use a
MIDI cable to plug the MTC output connector of the controlling device
into the TIME CODE INPUT—MTC connector on the back of the 02R.
The 02R can use the MTC or MIDI IN jack to receive MTC, and the first
jack to receive MTC takes priority. While MTC is being read from the

02R User’s Guide

142

Automix
MIDI IN jack, any MTC arriving at the MTC jack is ignored, and vice
versa.
MIDI Time code
TIME CODE INPUT (MTC)
or

MIDI OUT (MTC OUT)
MIDI sequencer

Note: When transmitting MTC to the 02R, you should use a dedicated output
on the connected device. Otherwise the 02R has to discard MIDI playback data and
other extraneous information, decreasing the accuracy of the timecode data.

Using MIDI Clock
Automix can be referenced to an external MIDI Clock, and supports
Timing Clock (F8H), Start (FAH), Continue (FBH), Stop (FCH), and Song
Position Pointers (F3H, **H, **H).
Use MIDI Clock when you want to synchronize an automix to a MIDI
sequencer that does not support MTC. Use a MIDI cable to connect the
MIDI OUT connector of the controlling device to the TIME CODE
INPUT—MTC connector on the back of the 02R.

Overwrite Mode
The Overwrite check boxes can be used to select certain parameters for
automix recording. These are: FADER, CH ON, PAN, EQ or
SURROUND. The FADER check box includes rotary encoders and AUX
send levels. The following parameters are not affected by the Overwrite
check boxes and can be recorded at any time: mix scene recalls, MIDI
Remote actions, and EQ, channel, dynamics, and effects program recalls.
Use the [SEL] buttons to select a channel for recording. The parameter
will be recorded during the first record operation, and overwritten
during subsequent passes (recordings). During the overwrite operation,
the [SEL] button will flash.
During automix recording, you cannot change a parameter settings
unless the corresponding parameter has been selected and the channel
[SEL] button (edit key) has been pressed. If the parameter has been
selected and the channel [SEL] button has been pressed, automix
playback for that parameter will be stopped, and you can record new
data.
Note: It is possible to change a parameter during automix playback, but automix
playback has priority.

Fader Edit & Edit Out Modes
Real-time fader edits can be performed in either Absolute or Relative
mode. These modes determine how existing data interacts with real-time
automix edits. These modes can also be combined with the END and RET
Edit Out options, which determine what faders do when a real-time edit
is stopped. See “Fader Edit & Fader Edit Out Modes” on page 151 for
more information.

UNDO
This operation allows you to undo the following conditions: updating the

1. Use the [AUTOMIX]
button to locate the
AUTOMIX 3/7 page.

The Fader Edit page displays fader positions relative to previously
recorded data, and is convenient for real-time fader edits.

AUTOMIX

2. Use the CURSOR buttons
to select the MOTOR ON
icon and press [ENTER] to
change its value.
3. Select the “Fader Edit
Out” RETURN check box
with the CURSOR
buttons and press the
[ENTER] button. Rotate
the encoder wheel to set
a “Time” value.
4. Select the desired
“Fader Edit Mode”
check box with the
CURSOR buttons and
press the [ENTER] button.
5. Use the CURSOR buttons
and the [ENTER] button to
operate the automix
transport.

The top half of the display shows the current fader positions graphically
for the input channels (MIC/LINE 1 through 16, LINE 17/18 through
23/24), the tape and effect return channels (TAPE 1 through 16, EFF1 and
EFF2), and the stereo output. There is also the “MOTOR ON” icon.
The bottom of the display consists of two rows. The first row allows you
set the Fader Edit Out to END or RET, set the Return time from 0.0 to 3.0
seconds, and select the Fader Edit Mode (ABSOLUTE or RELATIVE).
The last row contains the automix transport icons (AUTOREC, REC,
PLAY, STOP, or ABORT).

MOTOR ON
When you select this icon (the icon is in highlighted and the text reads
MOTOR OFF), the fader motors are switched off during playback of an
automix. The fader levels will still change according to the recording, but
the faders will not move.

Fader Edit & Fader Edit Out Modes
Real-time fader edits can be performed in either Absolute or Relative
mode, and can also be combined with the END and RET Edit Out
options. The END option works with the Overwrite parameters (FADER,
CH ON, PAN, EQ, SURROUND, aux send level, or MIDI Remote). RET
works only with fader events.
RELATIVE—In Relative mode, real-time fader edits are recorded relative
to existing fader events (i.e., the new fader movements are added to or
subtracted from existing events).

02R User’s Guide

152

Automix
ABSOLUTE—In Absolute mode, real-time fader edits are recorded as is
(i.e., the new fader movements overwrite the existing events).
RET (Return)—With the RET option on, the fader returns to the position
previously recorded at the point recording stops. You can specify the
return time from 0.0 to 3.0 seconds. The RET option works when automix
recording is stopped using the STOP icon, the incoming timecode is
stopped, or the channel is dropped out of recording using a [SEL] button.
END (Write to End)—With the END option on, the fader (CH ON, PAN,
EQ, SURROUND, aux send level, or MIDI Remote) remains at the
position where recording stops, and remains there all the way to the end
of the automix (i.e., data up to the end of the automix is rewritten to
accommodate the new fader position). The END option works only when
automix recording is stopped using the STOP icon, or the incoming
timecode is stopped. It has no effect if a channel is dropped out of
recording using a [SEL] button.
With both the END and RET options on, the fader returns to the position
previously recorded at the point recording stops and remains at that
position all the way to the end of the automix data (i.e., data up to the end
of the automix is rewritten to accommodate the fader position returned to
when recording is stopped).
Using the END option in Relative mode allows you to apply a relative
level change to all fader events for a channel through to the end of the
automix. Instead of having to record a relative level change all the way
through to the end of the automix, END allows you to stop recording
soon after making the level change, and have the 02R automatically
rewrite the data up to the end of the automix to accommodate the new
fader position.
If the END, RET, and RELATIVE options are all on, when recording is
stopped, fader data up to the end of the automix is not rewritten.

Fader Edit
When you record a fader overdub, this display shows the previously
recorded level and the new fader setting, plus an arrow indicating which
direction the fader will have to be moved to return to the previous level.
Refer to the following diagram:

Automix
The In Time and Out Time parameters are used to select the range of
automix data for editing. The Copy To parameter is used with the Copy
and Move/Merge function. When the Source parameter is set to Current,
data from the current automix between the In Time and Out Time
parameters can be copied or moved to a point specified using the Copy
To parameter. When Source is set to an automix from 1 to 16, data from
another automix between the In Time and Out Time parameters can be
copied to or merged with the current automix. The following table shows
how existing data at the source and destination are affected by these
functions.

Move/Merge
The Move function allows you to move the selected parameters from the
selected channels between the In Time and Out Time points to the Copy
To point. When the MOVE icon is pressed, a confirmation dialog box
appears. When the Source is set to an automix memory instead of the
current automix, the Move function becomes the Merge function.

Trim Edit
The Trim Edit function allows you to trim the fader and rotary encoder
levels of the selected channels between the In Time and Out Time points.
The In parameter determines how long it takes to reach the specified trim
level after the In Time. The Out parameter determines how long it takes
to return to the previous level before the Out Time. In and Out
parameters can be set from 0.0 to 10.0 seconds in 0.1 second steps.

Fader Start
When the Fader Start preference is checked (“Preferences” on page 198), a
MIDI Note On message (velocity 127) is transmitted when a fader is raised
from infinity (oo). When the fader is moved back to infinity, a
corresponding MIDI Note Off message (velocity 0) is transmitted. This can
be used in conjunction with a “MIDI to trigger” interface box to
automatically start CD players, tape decks, etc. This function is intended
for use with stereo sound sources. That’s why only the odd-numbered
channels 9, 11, 13, and 15 cause a MIDI Note on message to be transmitted.
Paired mono input channels 9 to 16 and the stereo channels 17 to 24
provide up to eight stereo pairs for use with Fader Start. MIDI Note
messages are transmitted on the Transmit Channel set on the MIDI 1/5
page. MIDI Note On Messages are of the format 9n, kk, vv. Where kk is the
note number and vv is the velocity.

The MIDI Control Assign page is used to assign 02R parameters to MIDI
Control Changes, which can be used to control 02R mix settings in real
time. 02R mix settings can be controlled by transmitting Control Changes
from other MIDI devices. A synthesizer with assignable sliders, for
example. Note that the 02R does not transmit Control Change messages.
Up to 114 02R mix parameters can be assigned to Control Changes 0 to 95
and 102 to 119 (Control Changes 96 to 101 cannot be used). See Parameter
to Control Change Table (02R & User Maps) on page 256 for more
information.
To use Control Change messages, make sure that the Receive Channel
Control Change parameter is enabled on the MIDI Setup page. See Setup on
page 159 for more information.

MIDI Remote
The MIDI Remote function allows you to control other MIDI equipment
from the 02R. Connection is made using the MIDI IN and OUT
connections. Remote equipment can be controlled using the 02R faders,
rotary encoders, [ON] buttons, CURSOR buttons, and encoder wheel.
MIDI Remote operations are recorded by the automix, so real time
adjustments on other MIDI equipment can be automated.
The following MIDI equipment can be controlled from the 02R.
•

Bus/Aux Master (controls bus and send levels on 02R)

•

MIDI Machine Control

•

Digital mixers—Yamaha Programmable Mixer 01, 02R, 03D

•

Configuring Remotes

1. Use the [MIDI] button to
locate the MIDI 5/5
page.

MIDI Remote operations take place on the MIDI 5/5 page shown below.
Up to four remotes can be active at the same time, each operating on a
different MIDI Channel. The REMOTE 1 to 4 icons are used to select the
remotes.

MIDI

The [FLIP] button flashes.
To get to the MIDI 5/5
quickly, hold down the
[FLIP] button for about
one second.
2. Use the CURSOR buttons
to select a REMOTE icon,
and press the [ENTER]
button to activate it.
3. Use the CURSOR buttons
to select the rotary icon,
and the encoder wheel
to select a remote
configuration.

On the page shown below, the Programmable Mixer 01 configuration has
been selected for use with REMOTE 1. The same configuration can be
selected for use with several remotes. So you could, for example, control
two or three 02Rs remotely.

4. Use the CURSOR buttons
to select the MIDI CH
parameter, and the
encoder wheel to select
a MIDI Channel for the
remote.
Only MIDI Channels
other than the MIDI
Channels selected on
the MIDI 1/5 page can
be selected.

While the MIDI 5/5 page is selected, the following controls have no effect
on the 02R (essentially these control are in a local off condition): 02R faders,
rotary encoders, [ON] buttons, MIC/LINE [SEL] buttons 1 to 16, CURSOR
buttons, and encoder wheel. To remind you of this the message “>>>>
REMOTE <<<<“ flashes at the bottom of the MIDI 5/5 page.
The various remote configurations are explained on the following pages.

BUS/AUX Master
The Bus/Aux Master page is not really a MIDI Remote page because it
controls the bus out, aux send, and stereo master levels of the 02R itself.
Although similar to the METER 3/3 page, this page allows you to use the
02R faders instead of the encoder wheel to set the levels.

While the BUS/AUX Master page is selected, MIC channel [SEL] buttons 1
to 14 can be used to make and break bus and aux pairs. To make a pair,
press and hold the [SEL] buttons of both channels. When the Make Pair
dialog box appears, select EXECUTE to pair the channels. Which channel’s
settings are copied to the other channel depends on which [SEL] button
you press first. For example, if you press the MIC 1 [SEL] button and then
MIC 2 [SEL] button, the settings of the bus 1 channel are copied to the bus 2
channel, and vice versa. The Make Pair dialog box, shown below, indicates
in which direction the channels settings will be copied.

To cancel a channel pair, press both [SEL] buttons, and choose EXECUTE
on the Break Pair dialog box.

PAIR

Adjacent MIC/LINE or TAPE channels configured as a stereo pair can be
used to decode signals derived using MS microphone techniques. MS
signals are controlled using the channel faders and pan controls. Other
channel controls work as normal.
Shown below is the PAIR 1/2 page—Pair.

2. Use the CURSOR buttons

The MS function can also
be set on the View 1/2
page. See “View” on
page 44.

When the MS function is turned on, channels are configured as a stereo
pair, although unlike regular pair mode the faders work independently.
When the stereo pair is cancelled, the MS function is turned off.
Channels configured in MS mode have to be stored as two individual
channel programs, with the odd/M channel as one program, and the
even/S channel as another. When you recall these programs, make sure
that the destination channels are not already configured as a stereo pair. If
they are the channel faders will be set the same.
The width of sound can be controlled by adjusting the S level.

Note: The 02R always
recalls the last page visited
even after you turn the power
off and back on again.
2. Use the CURSOR buttons
to select a wordclock
source and press the
[ENTER] button.

The 02R processes audio data at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz using its internal clock,
and can run at any frequency from 32 kHz –6% to 48 kHz +6% when an
external wordclock is applied.

Wordclock
When you connect a number of digital audio devices together, all the
devices should synchronize to one device—the wordclock master. The
wordclock master generates a sync pulse which allows the other devices
connected to it to determine where the start of each digital word is.
Although most digital interconnect protocols are self-clocking, it is more
reliable to use a dedicated line for your wordclock signal. This is especially
important in a multitrack environment where up to eight channels of
digital data may be multiplexed on one cable.
When you are using a digital device—such as a DAT mastering recorder or
a modular digital multitrack recorder—connected to the 02R, all the digital
devices in the system, including the 02R, should synchronize the
wordclock being supplied by one master device. If any device does not
synchronize to the system wordclock, dropout and/or other noise may
occur.
In Section 14, “Installing Options” on page 217 of the User’s Guide, there are
examples of connecting external digital devices to the 02R and setting the
appropriate wordclock selection. Refer to this section for details for each of
the optional digital I/O cards.
Note: Wordclock is not required if you use the analog I/O card (CD8-AD) to
connect to an analog multitrack recorder.
Shown below is the DIGITAL I/O 1/5 page—Word Clock Select.

17/18 through 23/24). You can route two of the 2-track digital inputs to the
stereo input channels (2TR IN D1 to LINE 17/18 and 2TR IN D2 to LINE
19/20). You can also convert the individual input channels (MIC/LINE 1
through 16) to tape return channels, allowing you to perform 32-track
mixdowns with the 02R.
Shown below is the DIGITAL I/O 2/5 page—Input Signal Select.

Note: If there is no digital

slot 3, the selection will fail.
The second box is for MIC 9-16 (MIC/LINE 9 through 16). You can select
“CARD SLOT 4” or “INT ANALOG” (the default). If there is no digital I/O
card in slot 4, the selection will fail.
The third box is for LINE 17/18. You can select “BUS 1/2”, “2TR-IN D1”, or
“INT ANALOG” (the default). If there is no digital signal (no wordclock
present) at the 2TR IN DIGITAL connector #1, the selection will fail.
The fourth box is for LINE 19/20. You can select “BUS 3/4”, “2TR-IN D2”,
or “INT ANALOG” (the default). If there is no digital signal (no wordclock

Just like the modular digital multitrack recorders it is intended to work
with, the 02R was designed to be easily expandable from a basic 16-track
(40 input) system up to a 64-track (160 input) system. It uses Cascade
Digital I/O card kits (CD8-CS) to accomplish this.
For installation details, see Section 14, “Installing Options” on page 217 of
the User’s Guide, specifically “Digital Cascade Kit (CD8-CS)” on page 229.

Cascade Aux Bus Assign
The Cascade Digital I/O card kit (CD8-CS) has two paired auxiliary buses:
AUX A and AUX B. You can assign these buses to any pair of the 02R’s
internal auxiliary buses—but not to the same pairs.
If a cascade card is not inserted in the 02R, this display is grayed-out.

ID
The ID value specifies the order in the cascade of this 02R. The first slave
unit is assigned 0 (zero). The cascade master is assigned the highest ID
value (maximum 3). You can select from 0 to 3 as the unit ID.
You can only set this item when a cascade card is inserted in the 02R and set
to IN. When the page is grayed-out, the ID is automatically set to 0.

Cascade Input Attenuator
These icons allow you to set the input level of each bus line that is being
input into the 02R. You can set the levels for the internal buses 1 through 8,
the cascade auxiliary buses (AUX A and AUX B), the stereo bus, and the
solo bus.
You can only set this item when a cascade card is inserted in the 02R and set
to IN.

2TR-D2 to Stereo Bus
This option allows you to route the 2TR-D2 digital input connector to the
stereo bus. You also can set the attenuation level.
Note: The device plugged into the 2TR-D2 digital input connector must be
synchronized to the system wordclock to prevent dropout and/or other noise. You
cannot assign the 2TR-D2 to the stereo bus if the corresponding switch (2TR-D2)
has been selected with the CONTROL ROOM monitor switches. Select another
monitor source before you try to assign this signal to the stereo bus.

Custom Cascade
The cascade system was designed to be able to connect four 02R’s together,
but in fact you can actually add even more units if you want. The cascade
digital I/O cards were designed to compensate for the signal delay of
connecting up to four units together. If you add more units, you will have
to compensate for the signal delay with the DELAY display function. See
“Delay and Cascade” on page 34 of the User’s Guide for more details.

3. Select the Word Length
with the CURSOR
buttons and press the
[ENTER] button.

When you connect a number of digital audio devices together, you may
find their digital word size is different. For example, the 02R uses a 20-bit
word size for input and output and a 32-bit word size for internal
processing. Professional digital equipment uses a 24-bit wordsize, while
consumer digital equipment uses a 20-bit wordsize. In order to obtain the
best possible signal quality, the 02R has a dither function for its internal bus
and stereo bus outputs.
Dithering is a mathematical process where a random noise is added to the
least significant bit of a digital word. With very low level signals, the
quantization error becomes correlated to the signal level. This creates a
small but measurable amount of distortion. By adding dither, the
correlation between the signal level and the quantization error is cancelled,
allowing the digital system to encode amplitudes smaller than the least
significant bit. If you change the word size as a signal passes from one
digital system to another, being able to add dither allows you to maintain a
high quality signal.
Shown below is the DIGITAL I/O 4/5 page—Dither.

Dither ON/OFF
You can turn the dither function on or off for the stereo bus and for the
internal buses 1 through 8. The internal buses are paired for the dither
function.

Word Length
You can add dither to compensate for any word size from 16-bit to 24-bit.

Using two recorder tracks per channel, high-resolution digital audio can be
recorded at the maximum wordlength of 24 bits. Recorder tracks 1 to 4 are
used for the upper 16 bits, while tracks 5 to 8 are used for the lower 8 bits.
In 24-bit Recording mode, a single slot can output up to four channels,
which are selected on the DIGITAL I/O 5/5 page. See “Slot Output Select”
on page 194. Slots 1 and 3 output bus signals 1 to 4, while slots 2 and 4
output bus signals 5 to 8. Aux, stereo, and direct out signals can also be
recorded in 24-bit mode. Output signals are split in two and fed to two
recorder tracks. For example, bus out 1 is split and fed to recorder track 1
(upper 16 bits) and track 5 (lower 8 bits). Bus out 2 feeds tracks 2 and 6. Bus
out 3, tracks 3 and 7. And bus out 4, tracks 4 and 8.
For playback, track signals are automatically recombined and fed to the
02R channels as shown in the following table.

As the table shows, in 24-bit Recording mode four MIC or TAPE channels
for each slot cannot be used. So if all four slots are used for 24-bit recording
the maximum number of slot inputs is reduced from 32 to 16. The
recording mode can be set individually for each slot, however, and settings
are stored in scene memories.
The following I/O cards can be used with 24-bit Recording mode: ADAT
(CD8-AT), Tascam (CD8-TDII), Yamaha (CD8-Y), AES Single (CD8-AE-S),
and AES Double (CD8-AE). The following I/O cards can be used with
24-bit Recording mode: ADAT (CD8-AT), Tascam (CD8-TDII), Yamaha

UTILITY

This function allows you to monitor the emphasis information of the digital
inputs. If an input digital signal was recorded with emphasis—a technique
used in early digital recordings to compensate for the deficiencies of the
hardware of the period, similar to Dolby® or dbx® noise reduction for
analog—the 02R can compensate by applying de-emphasis to the signal
before further processing.
Note: When the 02R receives data that has been processed with emphasis ON, it
will automatically process the data by applying de-emphasis. It will continue
processing the signal internally and will subsequently out put the data with
emphasis OFF. Regardless of whether a signal has been received with emphasis
ON, the 02R will always output the signal with emphasis OFF.
Shown below is the UTILITY 2/4 page—Emphasis Monitor.

This page allows you to monitor the emphasis information of the signal
input from each digital input jack of optional slots 1-4 and 2TR DIGITAL

02R Options
There are a number of options you can add to your 02R. Some of these
options add to the convenience and appearance of the 02R, such as the
peak meter bridge (MB02) or the wooden side panels (W02SP). There is
also a memory expansion kit (ME4M) which allows you to add up to 2 MB
of additional memory for the automix system.
The most important options are the I/O cards.
These cards support direct digital interconnection to the latest generation of
modular digital multitrack recorders. Alesis ADAT, TASCAM TDIF-1,
YAMAHA, and AES/EBU cards are available.
In addition, you can insert a Digital Cascade card into one of the I/O slots,
allowing you to cascade multiple 02Rs together to create a larger digital
mixing system.
Analog cards are also available for connecting analog multitrack recorders
and providing more analog inputs.

The I/O cards fall into three groups:
•

Digital I/O Cards—These cards provide 8 tracks of digital input and
output. They are used to connect the 02R to a digital multitrack
recorder—either tape or disk based. Cards supporting ADAT, TDIF-1,
YAMAHA, and AES/EBU formats are available. Except for the
CD8-AE card, these cards are single slot, allowing you to insert up to
four cards giving you a maximum 32 tracks of digital mixdown.

•

Analog I/O Cards—These cards provide 8 tracks of analog input and
output. The CD8-AD can be used to connect the 02R to an analog
multitrack recorder or to increase the number of analog inputs and
outputs. The CD8-AD-S offers 8 analog phone jack inputs on a single
slot card. Conversion is performed in 20-bit linear. The sampling
frequency is the same as the current wordclock master on the 02R.

•

Cascade I/O Card—This card allows you to connect the bus lines 1
through 8, two pairs of the auxiliary buses 1 through 8 to the cascade
card’s AUX A and AUX B buses, the STEREO bus, and the SOLO bus
of two or more 02R’s. One 02R is the cascade master, the others are

Appendix: MIDI

MIDI Data Format
1. General remarks
1-1

This section describes the MIDI functionality of the 02R.

1-2

Electrical characteristics and message formats are in compliance with MIDI standard 1.0.

2. Messages transmitted and received
2-1. Program change
Transmission/reception can be turned ON or OFF using the “MIDI Setup” display function (see “Setup” on
page 159 of the User’s Guide).
When a memory recall occurs, the program change corresponding to that memory number will be
transmitted on the specified MIDI channel.
When a program change is received on the specified MIDI channel or in OMNI mode, the memory
corresponding to that program number will be recalled.
The user can create a customized program change assign table (see “Program Change Assign” on page 160 of
the User’s Guide).

2-2. System exclusive messages
System exclusive messages include Bulk Dump/Request and Parameter Change/Request. For these
messages, the device number will be the same as the MIDI channel.

Bulk Dump/Request
Transmission and reception is always ON.
Bulk Request is transmitted using the “MIDI Bulk Dump & Request” display function (see “Bulk
Dump/Request” on page 161 of the User’s Guide) on the specified MIDI channel.
Bulk Dump transmits the contents of the corresponding memory on the specified MIDI channel, and is
transmitted either by operations in the “MIDI Bulk Dump & Request” display function, or when a Bulk
Request is received on the specified MIDI channel.
When a Bulk Dump is received, the contents of the corresponding memory will change.

Parameter Change/Request
Transmission/reception can be turned ON or OFF using the “MIDI Setup” display function (see “Setup” on
page 159 of the User’s Guide).
If parameter change transmission is ON, a message will be transmitted on the specified MIDI channel when
the parameters of the 02R are modified.

02R User’s Guide

Appendix: MIDI

263

If parameter change reception is ON and a parameter request is received on the specified MIDI channel, the
contents of the corresponding parameter will be transmitted on the specified MIDI channel regardless of
whether transmission is ON or OFF.
If parameter change reception is ON and a parameter change is received on the specified MIDI channel, the
contents of the corresponding parameter will be modified.
Transmission of KEY REMOTE parameter changes can be turned ON or OFF using the “Preferences” display
function (see “Preferences” on page 198 of the User’s Guide) independently of other parameters. This is used
only in special circumstances such as when externally monitoring key operations. Normally, it should be left
OFF.

2-3. Active sensing, MIDI reset
If, after receiving Active Sensing, no messages are received for an interval longer than 300 ms, or when MIDI
Reset is received, only the running status will be cleared.
Active Sensing is transmitted.

2-4. Quarter-frame messages
MIDI Time Code Quarter-frame messages are received at the MTC connector.

3. Echo Back
If ECHO is turned ON, the Program Change messages will be transmitted immediately after being received.

Glossary

A/D converter—The conversion of analog signals into digital signals. The
analog signal is sampled every few milliseconds and its level is quantized
into a digital word. The larger the digital word, the more accurate the
representation of the analog value. See Quantization and Sampling frequency.
The 02R uses 20-bit linear analog-to-digital converters for most of its analog
inputs.
Aliasing—A form of distortion which can occur during the conversion of
analog signals into digital. If the input signal is more than one half the
sampling rate, only portions of the signal will be present when the system
samples the waveform. A false image of the waveform, based on the
components that were actually sampled, is created.
A system which samples at 48 kHz can correctly process signals of up to
24 kHz. To remove signals above the Nyquist frequency (see Nyquist
Sampling Theorem), all A/D converters employ anti-aliasing filters. The 02R
employs over-sampling A/D converters to allow the anti-aliasing filter to
be performed in the digital domain. See over-sampling.
Attenuation—After the signal has been converted to digital, the 02R can
apply numerous forms of signal processing, such as equalization or effects.
Some of these processes may boost the signal to digital clipping. The 02R
allows you to attenuate the digital signal to reduce the chances of clipping.
Automix system—The 02R has an on-board Automix system that
memorizes fader positions, switches individual channels on or off, adjusts
the equalization or pan positions, and changes the auxiliary sends—all
based on timecode. It can recall scene memories and programs from the
EQ, effects, dynamics, and channel libraries, also determined by the
recorded timecode. You can record an entire mixing session, and then edit
the individual channel settings in multiple passes. You can punch-in to fine
tune a specific parameter or you can use one of the event editors to adjust
the timecode position of channel settings or scene and library changes.
Automix Memory—The Automix system records each parameter change
and the associated time as an event. The parameters that are recorded
include fader movements, channel status and EQ changes, and library
recalls. The more complicated the mix, the more memory it consumes. The
02R has a default of 480 kbytes of Automix memory.
Auxiliary send—The auxiliary sends are used to feed signals from the
input or tape return channels to external effects processors, amplifiers, or
multitrack recording equipment. The 02R has eight auxiliary sends. Two of
the sends feed the internal effects processors. See Internal Effects.

Bit—A single unit of digital data. It can have a value of 1 or 0.
Bulk Dump—A MIDI function that allow the transfer of system specific
data, such as sample files or mixer settings, between MIDI capable devices.
The data are transmitted as MIDI System Exclusive messages.
Bus—A circuit that connects the input or tape and effect return signals with
the output connectors. The 02R has eight output buses plus the stereo
output.
Channel Library—An area in 02R memory used to access and store
channel settings—stored as programs. There are 96 user programs for you
to store your channel settings.
Compander—A compander is a compressor/expander—a combination of
signal compression and expansion. The compander attenuates the input
signal above the threshold as well as the level below the width. For very
dynamic material, this program allows you to retain the dynamic range
without having to be concerned with excessive output signal levels and
clipping. See Dynamics Processor.
Compressor—A compressor provides a form of automatic level control. It
attenuates high levels, thus effectively reducing the dynamic range,
making it much easier to control signals and set appropriate fader levels.
Reducing the dynamic range also means that recording levels can be set
higher, therefore improving the signal-to-noise performance. Limiting is an
extreme form of compression, where the output signal is sharply
attenuated so that it cannot exceed a particular level. See Dynamics
Processor.
Confidence monitoring—Listening directly from a recording medium to
ensure the program material is being recorded correctly. Most analog
recorders have a playback head trailing the record head, allowing you to
hear the material directly after it has been recorded. Professional DAT
recorders usually have four heads for confidence monitoring, as do a
number of the modular digital multitrack recorders. Hard disk recorders
offer their own form of confidence monitoring.
D/A converter—The conversion of a digital data stream into analog
signals. The digital word is buffered and then converted into an analog
signal. After conversion, the analog signal is usually processed through a
smoothing filter which removes the step transitions between the digital
words. The 02R uses 20-bit linear digital-to-analog converters for most of
its analog outputs
DAT cassette—Metal chrome cassette tape (thickness 13µm, width 8.8mm).
Delay—A delay applied to the input signals processed by the 02R to
compensate for signal processing delays, for example caused by the gap
between the record and playback heads of a multitrack recorder.

Dither—Dithering is a mathematical process where a random noise is
added to the least significant bit of a digital word. With very low level
signals, the quantization error becomes correlated to the signal level. This
creates a measurable amount of distortion. By adding dither, the correlation
between the signal level and the quantization error is cancelled, allowing
the digital system to encode amplitudes smaller than the least significant
bit. If you change the word size as a signal passes from one digital system
to another, being able to add dither allows you to maintain a high quality
signal.
Digital Signal Processor (DSP)—A specialized circuit, usually a chip, that
is designed to manipulate large quantities of data in real-time. YAMAHA
has developed world renowned expertise in proprietary musical
application specific digital signal processing.
Ducking—Ducking is used to automatically reduce signal levels when the
level of a source signal exceeds a specified threshold. It is used for
voice-over applications where, for example, level of background music is
automatically reduced, allowing an announcer to be heard clearly. See
Dynamics Processor.
Dynamic range—The difference between the loudest (maximum output
level) and quietest (residual noise floor) sounds produced in an audio
system. The dynamic range in a digital system is determined by the data
resolution, about 6dB per digital bit. A 20-bit system has a theoretical
dynamic range of 120 dB. The 02R has a specified dynamic range of 105 dB.
Dynamics Library—An area in 02R memory used to access and store
dynamics settings—stored as programs. There are 40 preset programs (1 to
40) for you to recall and 88 user programs (41 to 128) for you to store your
own dynamics settings.
Dynamics Processor—Dynamics processors are used to correct or control
signal levels. The 02R features comprehensive dynamics processors for all
the input channels, tape returns, and the bus and stereo outputs. These
processors allow you to compress, expand, compress-expand (compand),
gate, or duck the signals passing through the mixer. See Compander,
Compressor, Ducking, Expander, and Gate.
Edit Buffer—The Edit Buffer is the current mix settings. When a scene
memory is recalled, the mix settings of the selected scene memory are
written to the Edit Buffer. When a scene memory is stored, the mix settings
in the Edit Buffer are written to the selected scene memory.
EQ—The 02R is equipped with a four-band, fully parametric EQ, with
variable bandwidth (Q), center frequency (F), gain (G), and ON/OFF
parameters. equalization can be applied to the input channels, the tape and
effect return channels, and the stereo output. For stereo channels, the
equalization curve is applied equally to both channels.
EQ Library—An area in 02R memory used to access and store EQ
settings—stored as programs. There are 40 preset programs (1 to 40) for
you to recall and 88 user programs (41 to 128) for you to store your own EQ
settings.

Expander—An expander is another form of automatic level control. By
attenuating the signal below the threshold, the expander reduces low-level
noise or expands the dynamic range of the recorded material. See Dynamics
Processor
F (frequency)—The center frequency of an EQ band. See EQ.
Fader calibration—The motorized faders occasionally require
re-calibration in order to maintain the highest performance possible.
G (gain)—The signal gain of an EQ band. See EQ.
Gain and 20dB (pad)—The analog input pre-amplifier controls. These
controls are used to optimize the signal from the input connectors. The pad
switch is used to reduce the channel gain for line level signals.
Gate—A gate, or noise gate is an audio switch used to mute signals below a
set threshold level. It can be used to suppress background noise and hiss
from valve (tube) amps, effects pedals, and microphones. See Dynamics
Processor.
IEC958 Part-2 (Consumer)—A digital interface protocol that is used to
transfer digital audio data between consumer-type digital audio
equipment such as CD players and DAT , DCC, and Mini Disc recorders.
Two channels of digital audio (left/right) are carried on a single line. A
coaxial phono/RCA jack connection is typical, but some systems use
optical interconnects.
IEC958 Part-3 (AES/EBU—Professional)—A digital interface protocol that
is used to transfer digital audio data between professional digital audio
equipment such as PCM and DAT mastering recorders, modular
multitrack recorders and other equipment. Two channels of digital audio
are carried on a single line. An XLR-type connector and a shielded cable is
typically used.
Internal Effects—The 02R is equipped with two internal multi-effects
stereo processors. These processors have a startling range of special effects
available to apply to your mix—shimmering reverbs, clean, precise delays,
flanging and chorus, and a myriad of other effects are available.
Metering—The 02R features comprehensive signal level metering. The
mono and stereo input channels, the tape and effect returns, and the
auxiliary sends and buses are all metered using the METER display
function. The control room output is metered using the dedicated
21-segment LED meters. Peak hold is available for all meters.
MIDI implementation—MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument
Digital Interface. It is an international standard that allows electronic
musical instruments to communicate with each other. Because of the
complexity of the 02R, it only recognizes MIDI Program Change, Parameter
Change, and System Exclusive messages. It uses System Exclusive
messages to provide bulk data transfers as well as controller changes. It
also reads MTC (MIDI timecode). See Timecode.

Modulation—Using a low frequency oscillator (LFO) to control a signal’s
frequency (pitch) or amplitude (level). The internal effects programs use
modulation for a number of their programs. See Internal Effects.
Nyquist Sampling Theorem—This theorem defines the process of
sampling audio with a digital system. Amongst other things, it states that
the sampling frequency of a digital audio system must be at least twice that
of the highest audio frequency, otherwise aliasing will occur. The Nyquist
theorem was developed at Bell Labs by C. Shannon and H. Nyquist. See
Aliasing.
over-sampling—The input analog signal is sampled at a much higher rate
than the normal sampling rate. Using the high sample rate, the digital data
may be processed with a very steep slope digital filter. As the filter is in the
digital domain, unpleasant side-effects, such as phase effects are
eliminated. The 02R uses 64-times over-sampling for most of its analog
inputs and 8-times over-sampling for most of its analog outputs.
PCM—Pulse Code Modulation. A scheme for encoding audio data as a
series of pulses. Each pulse defines a transition from binary one to binary
zero.
Peaking—An EQ circuit that is used to cut and boost a signal, centered
about a specific frequency. Using the bandwidth (Q) parameter, you can
widen or narrow the effect of the circuit.
Phase—Phase is the frequency coherence of a signal. If two signals are out
of phase, the trough of the first waveform corresponds with the peak of the
second, resulting in cancellation. The 02R can reverse the phase of the input
signals, which allows you to compensate for incorrectly wired conductors
and so forth.
Program Change—A MIDI message that is used to recall programs. On the
02R they recall scene memories.
Q (bandwidth)—The bandwidth of an EQ band. For high values the
bandwidth is narrow. For low values, it is wide. See EQ .
Quantization—The encoding process when the analog input is
approximated (quantized) to the nearest binary value available. In the
20-bit system of the 02R, pulses are approximated to one of 1,048,576 binary
values. These approximations are not an exact duplication of the analog
waveform and are therefore contain quantization errors (noise). However,
this noise is reduced by over-sampling.
RAM (Random Access Memory)—A memory chip that stores data that
can be edited and changed. It requires a continuous electrical charge. The
02R scenes memories and other libraries are stored in RAM. An internal
backup battery provides the continuous charge. Contrast with ROM.
ROM (Read Only Memory)—A memory chip that stores data that cannot
be edited. The 02R operating system is stored in ROM. Contrast with RAM.

Routing—The process of assigning input or tape and effect returns to the
output buses or the stereo bus.
Sampling frequency—The rate at which measurements of an audio signal
are taken during A/D and D/A conversion. Once in the digital domain, the
data usually remains at the same sampling frequency. The measure is
samples per second.
Scene Memory—The 02R scene memories are a memory location used to
store a snapshot of virtually all the digital parameters of the mixer. Settings
that are not stored consist mainly of monitor controls, analog controls, and
switches. The 02R has 96 mix scene memory locations. Each can be named
for easy identification.
Shelving—An EQ circuit that is used to cut and boost a signal above or
below a specified frequency. High and low band EQs are usually shelving
type. The 02R EQ can be configured as shelving or peaking.
Signal to Noise ratio (S/N)—The difference between the nominal signal
level and the residual noise floor, usually expressed in decibels.
System Exclusive—A MIDI message that is used to transmit data between
MIDI devices that is exclusive to those devices. Bulk dump data can be sent
from any device to a MIDI data filer. Controller events are transmitted
between 02Rs using System Exclusive messages. See also Bulk Dump.
Talkback System—A system that allows the engineer in the control room
to talk to the musicians in the studio.
Timecode –Timecode is a signal that contains a chronological record of the
absolute time in a recording. It is used for synchronizing different
recorders. It can be used for electronic editing. Timecode was initially
invented for the motion picture business, as a method of synchronizing the
pictures recorded in the frames of a camera to the sound recorded on tape
recorder.
The 02R supports three types of timecode, SMPTE timecode, MTC (MIDI
timecode), and Internal timecode
White noise—A random noise that contains an equal amount of energy per
frequency band. That is, 100–200, 800–900, and 3000–3100. Pink noise has
an equal amount of energy per octave. The bands 100–200, 800–1600, and
3000–6000 all contain the same amount of energy.
Word—One sample of audio data. In the 02R, a word is 20-bits.
Wordclock—Wordclock is a sync pulse which allows devices to determine
where the start of each digital word is. When multiple digital devices are
connected together, it is vital that each device knows where a digital word
starts and stops. Otherwise dropout or distortion may result. Although
most digital interconnect protocols are self-clocking, it is more reliable to
use a dedicated line for your wordclock signal. This is especially important
in a multitrack environment where up to eight channels of digital data may
be multiplexed on one cable.
