Recording/Playback/Remote Control - Yamaha 01X Supplementary Manual

Recording/Playback/Remote Control

You've seen how the 01X is a full-featured stand-alone mixer and an exceptionally versatile front-end mixer for
recording and mixdown with a computer system. In this section, you'll discover that it's also a convenient, compre-
hensive control surface for your audio sequencer or DAW (digital audio workstation).
The 01X gives you tape recorder style transport controls, a wealth of buttons for navigating and controlling your song,
and most importantly, lets you use the faders, knobs and channel buttons ([SEL] buttons and [ON] buttons) for mixing
your sequencer tracks in real time. Full automation — with moving faders — is implemented, and you can even
change and automate EQ and effect settings for each track. In short, the 01X provides a completely transparent hard-
ware link with your computer-based music production.
Templates are included for most major DAW applications and MIDI/audio sequencers, including Cubase SX/SL,
Nuendo, Logic, SONAR, and Digital Performer. Naturally, the Yamaha SQ01 V2 is supported as well.
Throughout this section, we've used Cubase SX 3 (running on Windows XP) for the examples, but most or all of these
control features are available for the other supported sequencers as well. If you're familiar with the concepts and basic
functions covered here, and are aware how they apply to your own particular sequencer, you should have no problem
learning from these instructions, no matter what sequencer you use.
• The example below uses mLAN Auto Connector.
• For Mac OS X users:
Even though these instructions cover use of Cubase SX 3 running on Windows XP, operations with Mac OS X are identical, unless
indicated otherwise.
• Keep in mind that some of the control features covered here may not be implemented on all of the compatible software programs.
• Remote control is only possible when the version of your particular DAW application and operating system matches the system
requirements. For details, see the separate Installation Guide.
• The latest information can be found at the website below.

Setting up

through this section, try out the controls with the song.
(Ideally, the song should have several tracks of audio and/
or MIDI data.)
Install the mLAN driver and connect your com-
puter to the 01X
For details on setting up your computer and DAW applica-
tion for use with the 01X, see the separate Installation
Guide.
