YAMAHA RELEASES ADD-ON EFFECTS
Five Packages Available for Digital Mixing Products
BUENA PARK, CA (February 20, 2004)Yamaha announces
the introduction of five add-on
effects packages designed specifically for the Yamaha's Version
2 digital mixing consoles. Available in the first and second quarters
of 2004, the effects packages are designed to be used separately
or in combination, and the control software is compatible with
both Mac OS X and Windows 2000/XP platforms (NOTE: Version 2-level
products or an upgrade to Version 2 software is required for operation).
"Yamaha's digital mixers, such as the02R96,
have become standards for all types of recording and mixing applications,"
states Wayne Hrabak, marketing manager, Yamaha Professional Audio.
"With the addition of these effects packages, users will
be able to enjoy even greater flexibility, performance and functionality."
Three of the packages have been produced with proprietary
Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM), which reproduces the physical
modeling of analog circuitry down to the component levelincluding
capacitors and resistors.
"VCM technology doesn't merely duplicate the
sounds of existing vintage equipment," states John Schauer,
product manager, Yamaha Professional Audio. "The best quality
'gear' can actually be created from those virtual components.
VCM technology provides, in essence, the power to create your
own custom effects. Having that power brings an entirely new dimension
to your Yamaha digital mixer, or to a specific task."
The Reverb package, AE31, includes the advanced
REV-X algorithm from the Yamaha SPX2000. Programs include REV-X
HALL, REV-X ROOM and REV-X PLATE.
The Channel Strip package, AE011, includes
two new mono/stereo compressors and a six-band parametric EQ,
each modeled after a combination of popular devices. Master
Strip, AE021, features Open Deck, a tape deck emulator that
allows the user to select the 'record' and 'reproduction' decks,
plus tape speed and type, independently.
Designed for audio post-production or ADR applications,
Surround Post AE041 includes Room ER, a surround room simulator
for early reflections; Auto Doppler (Doppler effect); and Field
Rotation, which will rotate the perspective of entire 5.1 fields.
For music production, Vintage Stomp AE051
emulates the sounds of phasing stomp boxes including Max100, Vintage
Phaser and Dual Phaser.
