What is ProMix 01 Automation

In conjunction with a MIDI sequencer or controlling computer,
ProMix 01 provides total mix automation. MIDI Program Change
messages are used to recall mix scenes, providing snapshot mix auto-
mation. And MIDI Control Change messages are used to control vir-
tually all mix parameters in real time, providing dynamic mix
automation.

An Automation System

The following illustration shows a basic system for ProMix 01 auto-
mation. For simple automation (i.e. channel ON/OFF, mix scene
recall, and occasional fader moves) you can connect ProMix 01 along
with the other MIDI devices in your system. Since this will not pro-
duce too much MIDI data, system performance should not be
affected. For complex automation consisting of several fader moves
and real-time EQ and effects parameter changes, however, a lot of
continuous Control Change data is produced and system perfor-
mance may be affected. Therefore, it is recommend that you connect
ProMix 01 to dedicated MIDI IN and OUT connections, separate
from your other MIDI devices. Multi-port MIDI interfaces are avail-
able for most computer sequencers. See your Yamaha dealer for more
details.
