Cascading Consoles - Yamaha 02R96 Owner's Manual

Cascading Consoles

Up to four 02R96s can be cascaded, offering a maximum of 224 Input Channels. Several
functions are linked between all cascaded consoles, including Solo, Scene Recall and Store,
so that all consoles work just like one big console. A single Yamaha 02R Digital Recording
Console can be included in the cascade system.
The CASCADE IN and CASCADE OUT
ports are used to transmit and receive
Cascade and control signals. Only use
the optional dedicated Cascade cables for
connecting.
Linked Functions
The following 02R96 functions are linked via the cascade ports:
• AUX SELECT
• Display page selection
• Solo function
• FADER MODE
• ENCODER MODE
• Metering position setting
• Peak Hold On/Off
• Meter Fast Fall on/off
• Scene Store, Recall, and Title Edit
When a Scene is recalled on the master console, that scene is recalled on all cascaded con-
soles.
• The following Automix functions: Make New Automix, Store, Recall, Undo, Title Edit,
Transport (AutoREC, REC, PLAY, STOP, ABORT).
• The following Automix parameters: Automix Enable/Disable, Internal Start Time, Offset
Time, Frame Rate, Overwrite (FADER, ON, PAN, SURR, AUX, AUX ON, EQ), Motor
ON/OFF, Edit Out Mode OFF/RETURN/TAKEOVER, Return Time, Update To End
On/Off, ABSOLUTE/RELATIVE Fader Edit Mode, Touch Sense Edit In On/Off, Touch
Sense Edit Out On/Off.
Function and parameter linking can be turned on or off by using the Cascade COMM Link
preference (see page 198). The Solo function is always linked regardless of this preference.
Note: When the Cascade COMM Link preference is on, do not make any MIDI connections
between cascaded 02R96s. If two 02R96s are cascaded and connected via MIDI, and the Cas-
cade COMM Link preference is on, when a store operation is performed on the master console,
a loop will be created, causing both consoles to execute endless store operations.
When the 02R96 is cascaded with a Yamaha DM2000 Digital Production Console, display
page selection is not linked, and Matrix Send select actions, and Aux Send 9–12 select
actions performed on the DM2000 are ignored by the 02R96.
