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
