At AES, Yamaha Commercial Audio announced Version II (V2) software along with five available add-on effects packages for the DM2000 and 02R96 digital mixing consoles.
Available in January 2004 and compatible for both Macintosh OS X and Windows 2000/XP platforms, V2 represents a significant upgrade for each product's preconfigured internal software and Studio Manager Software with the addition of almost 50 new features, the capability to run the new add-on effects, expanded DAW control, and features designed specifically for the broadcast and sound reinforcement markets.
Designed to provide editing, librarian and remote control functions for the Yamaha DM2000 and 02R96, Studio Manager V2 retains the user's ability to control and manage all console parameters from a computer via a graphic interface; functions are replicated on-screen in logical, easy-to-understand pages.
In addition, Studio Manager V2 provides a platform of total system recall for multiple, compatible-format consoles and effects products (for example, multiple DM2000, 02R96 and SPX2000 units).
Five effects packages, designed to be used separately or in combination, will be available in the first and second quarters of 2004, and will bring an entirely new dimension to the DM2000 and 02R96, or to a specific task. Packages have been produced with Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM), which reproduces the physical modeling of analog circuitry from the component level, including capacitors and resistors.
The Reverb package brings the advanced REV-X algorithm from the new SPX2000, with a new generation of Yamaha reverb programs that provide rich reverberant tone and extremely smooth, transparent decay. Programs include REV-X HALL, REV-X ROOM and REV-X PLATE.
Channel Strip includes two new mono/stereo compressors and a six-band parametric equalizer, each modeled after a combination of popular devices. Master Strip features OpenDeck, a tape deck emulator that allows the user to select the 'record' and 'reproduction' decks, plus tape speed and type, independently.
Ideal for audio post production and ADR applications, the Surround Post package includes Room ER, a surround room simulator for early reflections; Auto Doppler (Doppler effect); and Field Rotation, which will rotate the perspective of entire 5.1 fields.
For instrumental effects applications, the Vintage Stomp package features the sounds of phasing stomp boxes, including Max100, Vintage Phaser and Dual Phaser.
