Yamaha 01X mLAN Digital Mixing Studio is ''Editors' Choice''
 |
BUENA PARK, CA (January 14, 2005) The Yamaha 01X was among 25 products recognized for its innovation with an "Editors' Choice" award from acclaimed trade publication Electronic Musician magazine, taking top honors in the Hybrid Control Surface/Audio Interface category.
EM concluded, "The 01X delivers everything it promises in a well-designed package that's a pleasure to use. The product is the fruit of years of development and richly deserves this award." All award-winning products were field-tested by the editors and selected industry professionals during the past year.
The 01X builds on a history of breakthrough digital technology from Yamaha, bridging the gap between computer-based systems and the hands-on realm of hardware mixers and controllers. The single, self-contained unit provides everything needed to turn audio/MIDI hardware and software into a complete computer music studio.
Using the same 96kHz DSP technology found in Yamaha's acclaimed digital mixers, the 01X will function as a stand-alone, total recall digital mixer for recording or live performance. Signal quality is maintained with high quality mic pre-amps and +48V phantom power on balanced XLR, TRS and line input connectors.
Full dynamics processing, including compressors, gates, limiters and 4-band parametric EQ on every one of the 28 digital mixing channels, plus two 32-bit effects processors means that the 01X puts no strain on the host computer for mixing or audio processing. Fully motorized faders ensure that mixes can be recalled and accurately tracked at the touch of a button.

 Yamaha 01X |
The 01X is the first product to feature Yamaha's next generation mLAN networking technology. Conforming to IEEE 1394 FireWire, mLAN provides high-speed audio and MIDI networking between audio, video, synthesizers and computer equipment via a single "plug and play" line, eliminating the multitude of wires that discrete connections require. Optional channel expansion units allow up to 63 mLAN compatible devices from Yamaha and other alliance companies to be linked together. Up to 16 additional analog inputs can be added via mLAN with the 01X internal digital processors and mixing channels handling the routing/effects/EQ and dynamics.
"The 01X is the first in a series of products that underscores Yamaha's support for mLAN as the connectivity technology of choice for computer audio systems," states Athan Billias, director of marketing, Technology Products.
The 01X also offers unsurpassed remote control power with integrated DAW support, with track arming, transport control, plug-in editing, mixing and window selection controlled directly from the work surface. The 01X also provides full support for recording and sequencer software products, and controls a wide range of parameters in many popular software synthesizers. The unit functions as a multi-port MIDI interface, offering hundreds of channels, and enabling existing MIDI devices to be easily connected directly to the unit. Full MIDI capability, plus low latency 24-bit/96kHz audio driver support for Windows XP and Macintosh (OS9/OSX) platforms will seamlessly integrate the 01X into any existing production environment.
Bundled software includes Studio Manager; three VST plug-ins for enhanced vocal processing, pitch correction and mastering; and a VST-compatible 01X channel module, which mirrors all DSP hardware functions and enables parameters from Studio Manager to be copied directly into the VST hosting application. Complete online support may be found at www.yamahasynth.com.
