Various Operations For Input Channels; Selecting The Function Of The Encoders; Exchanging The Fader And Encoder Functions - Yamaha PM5D Owner's Manual

Various operations for input channels

Selecting the function of the encoders

When the PM5D is in the default state, the encoders of the
INPUT channel strip and ST IN/FX RTN channel strip are
assigned to control send levels to MIX buses 1–24. How-
ever you can use the various ENCODER MODE keys to
select one of the following as the function of the encoders.
Key Encoder function
MIX SEND SELECT
Send levels to MIX buses 1–24
[1]–[24] keys
[PAN] key Pan (balance)
[GAIN/ATT] key Head amp input sensitivity
[GAIN/ATT] key Attenuator
Input level for the currently un-
[ALT LAYER] key
selected layer
*1. In the INPUT channel strip, the CH 1-24 layer and the CH
25-48 layer are in a "front/rear" relation. In the ST IN/FX
RTN channel strip, the ST IN 1-4 layer and the FX RTN 1-4
layer are in a "front/rear" relation.
The currently selected function is shown by the key that is
lit and by the encoder mode indicator.
Repeatedly pressing the [PAN] key or [ALT LAYER] key
will alternate between the function selected by that key and
the MIX bus send level. Repeatedly pressing the [GAIN/
ATT] key will alternate between the following three
choices; input sensitivity to the internal head amp → atten-
uator → MIX bus send level.
Hint
If the FADER section [FLIP] key is on, the functions controlled
by the encoders and faders will be exchanged.
The function assigned to the controls when the [FLIP] key is on (LED lit) will depend on the current encoder mode as follows.
[FLIP] Encoder
key mode
MIX Send level from channel to
SEND MIX bus
PAN Pan (balance)
Off
Head amp input sensitivity
GAIN/ATT
/ attenuator
ALT Channel (currently un-
LAYER selected layer) input level
MIX Channel (currently
SEND selected layer) input level
PAN
On
GAIN/ATT
Send level from channel
ALT
(currently un-selected
LAYER
layer) to MIX bus
Note
• The DCA channel strip and STEREO A/B channel strip are not affected by the on/off status of the [FLIP] key.
• The Flip function cannot be used if PAN or GAIN/ATT is selected as the encoder mode. If you turn on the [FLIP] key in these modes, MIX
SEND will automatically be selected as the encoder mode, and then the fader and encoder parameters will be exchanged.

PM5D/PM5D-RH Owner's Manual
Exchanging the fader and encoder
functions
You can use the FADER [FLIP] key to exchange the func-
tions assigned to the faders and encoders of the channel
strip.
For example with the default setting (FADER [FLIP] key
off), the faders control the input channel input levels, and
the encoders control the send levels to the MIX buses. If
you then press the FADER [FLIP] key to make the LED
light, the faders will control the send levels to the MIX
buses and the encoders will control the input channel
input levels.
