DM2000 Version 2—Owner’s Manual
3If you select the SLOT button for a slot that has an
MY16-AE card installed, use the 01–08 and 09–16 but-
tons located in the lower-right corner of the screen
to select a channel group you wish to display.
Cascading Consoles
Total four DM2000s or 02R96s can be cascaded, offering a maximum of 384 Input Chan-
nels. 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 con-
necting.
Linked Functions
The following DM2000 functions are linked via the cascade ports:
•AUX SELECT (Aux 9–12 are not linked with the 02R96.)
•MATRIX SELECT (Not linked with the 02R96.)
•Display page selection (Not linked with the 02R96.)
•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, 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 Off/Touch/Latch.
Function and parameter linking can be turned on or off by using the Cascade COMM Link
preference (see page 276). 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 DM2000s/02R96s. If two DM2000s/02R96s are cascaded and connected via
MIDI, and the Cascade 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 oper-
ations.
