    So although the 03D is a four-bus mixer, assigning the four buses and four aux sends, or the channel direct outs to the YGDAI slot’s eight outputs allows eight-track simultaneous recording.
  • Page 15 Key Feature Discussion Four-band Parametric EQ & Library The 03D input channels, stereo input channel, stereo output, bus outs, aux sends, and onboard effects returns all feature four-band fully parametric EQ, with variable gain, frequency, Q, and bypass. That’s 160 bands of EQ! High and low EQ bands can be used as shelving, peaking, or HPF and LPF, respectively.
  • Page 16 See Digital Stereo In on page 221 for more information. Easy-to-Learn GUI Interface 03D operation is both logical and intuitive. The large 320 x 240 dot display with fluo- rescent backlight uses graphical icons to represent controls, and provides a clear indi- cation of current settings and EQ curves.
  • Page 17: Scene Memories

    On many mixers, the only way to store mix settings is with marker pen and masking tape. With the 03D, however, virtually every mix setting can be stored as a mix scene in one of the 03D’s 50 scene memories. Mix scenes can be recalled instantly with just one button press, or MIDI Program Change command.

The indicator in the button lights up when the MIDI Remote mode is active.
  • Page 25 Faders The faders are used to adjust input channel and output channel levels. The 03D features 60 mm motorized faders. The function of each fader depends on the selected fader mode and Mixing Layer. See Faders on page 32 for more information. The selected fader mode is shown on the display.

Apart from the GAIN controls, [PAD] switches, scene memory buttons, and a few other buttons, there are very few dedicated controls. The faders, [ON] buttons, and [SEL] buttons are multi- function controls whose operation depends on the Mixing Layer and fader mode set- tings.

    Chapter 6—Pan, Routing & Surround Pan Surround Pan As well as normal stereo pan, the 03D features three surround pan modes: 2+2, 3+1, and 3+2+1. In conjunction with the stereo out and bus outs, surround pan controls allow you to pan channel signals in a two-dimensional space. Surround pan controls can be used to move sounds in a circular motion, ellipse, semicircle, or straight line.
  • Page 73 2+2 Surround Mode The 2+2 surround pan mode uses four channels: front left, front right, rear left, and rear right. The front speakers are fed from the 03D stereo output, while the rear speakers are fed from bus outs 3 and 4.

    Chapter 16—Automix About Automix The 03D’s Automix function provides dynamic mix automation referenced to an exter- nal timecode source. The external timecode can be either MTC or MIDI Clock. The automix start time can be offset relative to the external timecode. Automix can be used to record and playback fader moves, channel mutes, EQ changes, pan, and more.
  • Page 187: Automix Memory

    When an automix is recalled, the contents of the selected automix become the current automix. The current automix is remembered when the 03D is turned off. So they don’t have to store the current automix before the 03D is turned off.

The 03D uses the following method to determine the correct point: If the received timecode value is within one hour of the automix start (00:00:00.00 or offset value), it is interpreted as being before the automix start, and the first mix scene is...

    Chapter 17—Other Functions Using the Onboard Oscillator The 03D features a useful, onboard audio oscillator, which can be assigned to the bus outputs, aux sends, stereo output, and onboard effects. It can be used for calibration or diagnostic purposes. Assigning a burst noise waveform to the onboard effects proces- sors, for example, is a convenient way to audition reverb settings.

Calibrating the Faders If the 03D is not used for a long time, is moved to a new location, or fader movements have been obstructed, the faders may need calibrating.

  • Page 228 For correct operation it is essential that wordclock cabling be terminated correctly. The 03D has a wordclock termination ON/OFF (75 ) switch on the rear panel. Wordclock is a TTL signal, and IN and OUT connections use BNC connectors. Three wordclock distribution examples are shown below.

    Digital Stereo Out The 03D features both AES/EBU and COAX- IAL-type digital stereo outputs. They output the same digital audio signal but in different formats. The XLR-3-32-type connector outputs AES/EBU format digital audio, while the COAXIAL connec- tor outputs Consumer format digital audio.

    Emphasis When a digital audio signal containing emphasis is connected to the digital stereo input, the 03D automatically detects it and de-emphasizes as necessary.
