Summary of Contents for Yamaha 03D

  • Page 1 Fastrack VS Version 2.1 and later YAMAHA 03D SERIAL AUDIO MIXER The Fastrack VS hybrid editing system interfaces to the 03D Serial Audio Mixer with a 6-pin DIN to 9-pin RS-422 serial control cable and Yamaha 03D audio mixer serial protocol. Direct control of each individual fader and the learning of manual adjustments are possible.
  • Page 2: Interconnect Cable

    An interconnect cable can be constructed using a PS-2 mouse/keyboard plug and wire and a Serial RS-422 female connector. This cable connects between the HOST port on the Yamaha O3D and a serial (male-male) cable attached to the Fastrack serial breakout (or use a male connector if your cable is long enough to reach the Fastrack serial breakout).
  • Page 3: Mixer Setup

    1. Connect the serial control cable from a Fastrack VS "COM" or "P#" port to the 6-pin “TO HOST” serial port on the rear of the 03D console. 2. At the 03D control panel “SETUP” section (top, left of the mixer), press the [UTILITY] button until the “MIDI / HOST” tab is selected.
  • Page 4 ST Out uses XLR and is the PROGRAM OUT to any/all record channels. MONITORING The 03D has a monitoring bus that can be remotely controlled as a preview bus; therefore, all audio previews should be done utilizing this preview switcher in the 03D.
  • Page 5 The specific mixer protocol files to be used on the Assignment Page [Shift]+[Assign] are in the MIXER folder on the C:/ drive of the Fastrack computer, in the Ftruntime folder. The 2 channel (stereo) version of the 03D driver is labeled 03D_2CH.MIX and has only two differences from the 4 channel version: Name=03D_2 and the FaderCount=2.
  • Page 6 Assign the following audio Start and Count values in the Source Assignment page [SHIFT]+[ASGN] in Fastrack VS for the 03D setup (two channels per device in this example): Note: Under Audio Mixer (upper right), the two columns represent the Start number for the first fader of each source, and the count for each source (1=mono, 2=stereo, 4, etc).
  • Page 7 Yamaha 03D Audio Mixer Control Panel Note: The 03D ST OUT is used for monitoring (VU meters active) and Program Output. Ensure the ST fader is up to 0 level, the ST ON lamp is illuminated, and the MONITOR OUT button is in the UP position.
