Features of the system

The M3000-40C provides a generous number of input modules; 40 monaural and 4 stereo (the M3000-24 provides 24 monaural and 4 stereo). Stereo output, 16 mix outputs, and 8 matrix outputs are provided in addition. The M3000 is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, such as the main mixer for sound reinforcement, as a monitor mixer, or in building installations. The GA Diversity function allows each pair of MIX buses 1/27/8 to be switched between group bus (xed output level from the input channels) and AUX bus (variable output level from the input channels). Bus conguration can be set up as needed. The Scene Memory function allows the on/off status of the mono/stereo input channels, MIX OUT 116, and STEREO A OUT to be saved as one of 128 scenes. Scenes can be selected from the front panel, or by MIDI program change messages from an external device. In addition, MIDI control change messages transmitted from an external device can be used to switch the individual on/off status of input channels or bus outputs channels. By modifying internal settings, Scene Memory numbers 18 can be used as mute groups. In this case, up to eight mute (on/off) settings can be added/defeated individually. Eight VCA master faders allow the gain of multiple input channels to be controlled as a group. By grouping the desired input channels and assigning them to a VCA master fader, you can adjust the mix as appropriate for the on-state action using the VCA master faders alone. The mono input channels provide a 26 dB pad, HPF, phase switch, four-band parametric EQ, and 100 mm full stroke faders as well as DIRECT OUT jacks. Phantom power is also provided, and can be switched on/ off individually. The M3000-40C features a center master design that places the master section in the middle of the mixer for superior operability. All input channels provide a PFL switch, and an AFL switch is provided for MATRIX OUT 18/MIX OUT 116/STEREO A OUT/STEREO B OUT. This makes it easy to check your input/output sources. Eight independent matrices are provided. The signals from MIX OUT 116/STEREO A OUT and dedicated input jacks can be mixed at the desired levels, and output from MATRIX OUT jacks 18. This capability can be used for foldback or as a mix for individual speakers/amps. All mono input channels, stereo buses, and MIX buses provide an INSERT I/O jack. External effect processors can be inserted as necessary. The talkback signal and test tone oscillators can be sent to any of the MIX buses 1-213/16 or the stereo buses. As monitor sources for the monitor output, you can select (in addition to STEREO A OUT), PFL from the input channels, AFL/PFL from MATRIX OUT 18/ MIX OUT 116/STEREO A OUT/STEREO B OUT, or 2TR IN 1/2.

D ON/EDIT switches

The function of these switches and indicators will depend on the mode of the M3000. qIn normal mode The ON/EDIT switches will turn each MIX OUT on/ off. When on, the ON indicator will light. MIX OUTs which are turned off will send no signal to the MIX OUT 116 jacks, the MAS AFL bus, the ST bus or the matrix. However even in this case, you can turn on the AFL switch (6) to monitor the pre-fader signal from the MONITOR OUT jacks or the PHONE jack. qIn check mode You can use the CHECK indicators to view the on/off status of each MIX OUT stored in a scene before you actually recall the scene. In check mode, you can also use the ON/EDIT switches to change only the lit/dark status of the CHECK indicators. (The actual on/off setting will not be affected.)

These faders adjust the output level of MIX OUT 1 16. These faders affect the signal which is sent to the MIX OUT 116 jacks, the MAS AFL bus, the ST bus, and the matrix. These switches allow the signals from MIX OUT to be monitored from the MONITOR OUT jacks or PHONES jack. When these switches are on ( ), the pre-fader signal of the corresponding MIX bus will be sent to the MAS PFL bus, and the post-fader signal will be sent to the MAS AFL bus, allowing you to monitor from the MONITOR OUT jacks or the PHONES jacks. The signal of the MAS AFL bus can be monitored when the MASTER PFL switch (page 19) of the monitor section is off, and the signal of the MAS PFL bus can be monitored when this switch is on. However while even one of the PFL switches of the input channels is on, the signal of the PFL bus will take precedence, meaning that it will not be possible to monitor MIX OUT.

T CUE CONTROL jack

When using two M3000 consoles, connect their respective CUE CONTROL jacks with a standard unbalanced shielded cable. If this is done, turning on the PFL switch of one M3000 to select the PFL bus as the monitor source will allow you to monitor the PFL bus of the other console as well.
U MIDI IN/OUT/THRU connectors
These are standard ve-pin MIDI connectors. By connecting a sequencer or personal computer to these connectors, you can select scenes remotely, or backup scene memories. If two or more M3000 consoles are connected via MIDI, a scene selection on one M3000 can simultaneously switch the scene on the other M3000(s). qMIDI IN connector MIDI messages are received at this connector. Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT connector of the external MIDI device to this connector. qMIDI OUT connector MIDI messages are transmitted from this connector. Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI IN connector of the external MIDI device to this connector. qMIDI THRU connector Messages received at the MIDI IN connector are retransmitted without change from this connector. For example if three or more M3000 consoles are connected via MIDI, you would connect the MIDI OUT connector of the rst unit (the master) to the MIDI IN connector of the second unit (slave), and connect the THRU connector of the second unit to the MIDI IN connector of the third unit. With these connections, selecting a scene on the rst M3000 will cause the scene to change on the second and third units in the same way.

1 RECALL 2 CHECK 3 MEMORY STORE 8 DIRECT RECALL
Operations in normal mode
Storing a scene (normal mode)
1. Make sure that the M3000 is in normal mode, and use the ON/EDIT switches of the mono/stereo input channels, the mix section and the STEREO A section to make the desired on/off settings. Note: In normal mode, operation of all ON/EDIT switches will affect the signal which is actually output. If you are conducting a rehearsal or actual performance and wish to make on/off settings without affecting the signals that are being output, use Check mode. 2. Use the scene memory section v/w switches or the 09/ENTER buttons of the scene memory section to make the MEMORY display indicate the memory number (1128) into which you wish to store the scene. (Memory numbers 129/130 are read-only, and cannot be selected.) The selected memory number will blink in the MEMORY display. Scenes which are stored in memory numbers 18 can be selected at one touch using the DIRECT RECALL 18 switches. If you need onetouch access to a scene memory, it is convenient to store it in one of these memory numbers. Note: When you perform the Store operation, the contents that were previously in that memory number will be erased, and cannot be recovered. Be aware of this as you select of a store destination. 3. Press the STORE switch. The MEMORY display will blink , indicating that the M3000 is ready to store the scene. 4. To execute the Store operation, press the STORE switch once again. If you decide not to store, you can cancel the operation by pressing any switch other than STORE. Note: If memory protect is on, the MEMORY display will indicate , and it will not be possible to execute the Store operation. Disable memory protect, and execute the Store operation once again. (For details on disabling memory protect, refer to page 34.) Note: STEREO B OUT is not affected by scene memories.
Recalling a scene (normal mode)
1. Use the scene memory section v/w switches or the 09/ENTER buttons of the scene memory section to make the MEMORY display indicate the memory number (1130) that you wish to recall. The selected memory number will blink. Read-only memory numbers 129/130 can be selected only by the 09/ENTER buttons. 2. Press the RECALL switch. The selected scene memory will be recalled. Note: If no data has been stored in the selected scene, the MEMORY display will indicate , and the scene will not be recalled. 3. To instantly recall a memory number 18, press the desired DIRECT RECALL 18 switch. With the factory settings, the scenes of memory numbers 18 can be recalled directly by the DIRECT RECALL 18 switches. (This is referred to as direct recall.) In this case, it is not necessary to press the RECALL switch, and the scene will change instantly. If you press the v/w switches following a direct recall operation, the scene memory number which had been selected before you pressed the DIRECT RECALL 18 switch will blink in the display. This allows you to quickly return to the previous scene number even if you used direct recall while selecting consecutive scene memories. Note: The DIRECT RECALL 18 switches can also be used as mute group switches to add/defeat mute groups. For details refer to page 36.

About the local control circuit
The mute settings of memory number 3 are added
Adding/defeating mute groups
1. Store the channel or bus mute settings that you wish to use as a mute group in a memory number 18. 2. In utility mode, select the oP (recall operation) item, and switch the display to . (For details refer to page 34.) 3. Either press and hold the UTILITY switch for one second or more, or press the UTILITY switch repeatedly to return to normal mode. Even if the Utility mode item oP is set to , you can edit scenes 18 either by using the 09/ENTER buttons to specify the scene number or by entering check mode. 4. Press a DIRECT RECALL 18 switch. The corresponding mute group will become active, and the channels or buses which are turned off (muted) in that scene will be muted. 5. As desired, press other DIRECT RECALL 18 switches. Mute groups will be added, and channels or buses which are turned off (muted) on those scenes will be muted.
If an error occurs in the system of the M3000, the on/ off control of each input channel and bus will automatically switch from the scene memory circuit to the local control circuit, allowing you to operate the M3000 like a conventional analog mixer. In this case, the ON/EDIT switch of each input channel or mix channel will function like a conventional ON/OFF (mute) switch. However, the MEMORY display will go dark, and the switches for the Scene Memory functionality cannot be operated. Note: If the cause of the system error lies in the power supply, it may not be possible to use the local control circuit either.
About the VCA functionality
The VCA master section of the M3000 contains eight VCA master faders. These VCA master faders 18 can be used to control the overall input level of input channels assigned to the corresponding VCA groups 18.
MIX 1/2 MIX 3/4 MIX 5/6 MIX 7/8 MIX 9/10 MIX 11/12 MIX 13/14 MIX 15/16 S
When the VCA MUTE switch of a VCA master fader is turned on (the indicator beside the switch will be lit), no control signal will be sent from that VCA master fader, and the post-fader signal of input channels assigned to that VCA group will be muted.
Using a single VCA master fader to control multiple channels
If two or more channels are assigned to the same VCA group, you can use a single VCA master fader to control them. The following diagram shows an example of the signal ow when VCA GROUP select switch 1 is turned on for input channels 1, 5, and 16.

Basic function of the VCA master faders
The VCA master faders control the gain of the prefader signal of input channels which are assigned to the corresponding VCA group. The following diagram shows the ow of audio signals and control signals (CV) when input channel 1 is assigned to VCA group 1.

VCA MASTER FADER 1

MATRIX CH 1 VCA GROUP SW 1 STEREO VCA MASTER FADER 1
If two or more input channels are assigned to a VCA group, the gain of each channel can be controlled both by the channel fader and by the VCA master fader. When you operate a VCA master fader, it will affect all MIX buses (except for MIX buses set to pre-fader), matrix, and STEREO buses to which the input channel assigned to that VCA group is being sent. When a VCA master fader is in the 0 dB position (the NOMINAL indicator of that fader will be lit) it is in unity gain, and that VCA will produce no boost or cut. When the VCA MUTE switch of a VCA master fader is turned on (the indicator beside the switch will be lit), the post-fader signal of all input channels assigned to that VCA group will be muted.
The gain of an input channel which is assigned to a VCA group can be controlled both by the channel fader and by the VCA master fader. For example if the channel fader is set to 0 dB and the VCA master fader is set to 10 dB, the gain will be 0 dB + (10 dB) = 10 dB. When you operate a VCA master fader, it will affect all MIX buses (except for MIX buses set to pre-fader), matrix, and STEREO bus to which a signal is being sent from the corresponding channel. When a VCA master fader is in the 0 dB position (the NOMINAL indicator of that fader will be lit) it is in unity gain, and that VCA will produce no boost or cut.
Using two or more VCA master faders to control a single channel
As the opposite of the example on the previous page, it is also possible to assign a channel to two or more VCA groups. The following diagram shows an example of signal ow when channel 1 is assigned to VCA groups 1, 5, and 8.
CH1 FADER INPUT 1 VCA OUT

If the VCA MUTE switch of a VCA master fader is turned on (the indicator beside the switch will light), the post-fader signal of all input channels assigned to that VCA group will be muted. This is convenient when you wish to simultaneously mute or un-mute multiple channels without operating the faders. By using this in conjunction with the Scene Memory function, you can also mute only specic inputs within a VCA group. In the above example, if you recall a scene in which chorus 13 (inputs 1214) are turned off, chorus 13 will be muted from VCA groups 4, 6, and 8.

Error messages

One of the following error messages may appear in the MEMORY display while operating the M3000 or when the power is turned on. If this occurs, refer to the following explanations and take the appropriate action.
An error occurred while receiving MIDI data. If an error occurs while received MIDI data, this error message will be displayed for several seconds. While transmitting or receiving MIDI data, the memory buffer became full. If the memory buffer becomes full while MIDI data is being transmitted or received, this error message will be displayed for several seconds. If this error is displayed while transmitting or receiving MIDI data, turn the (MIDI echo back) parameter in Utility mode off (oFF). Since memory protect is turned on, it is not possible to store data or receive a bulk dump. This error message will be displayed for several seconds if you attempt to store into memory or receive a bulk dump when the memory is protected. A check sum error has occurred during a bulk dump. This error message will be displayed for several seconds if a check sum error occurs while receiving bulk dump MIDI data. Check the MIDI connections and whether the transmitting device is set appropriately. The internal battery voltage has fallen below 2.5V or is an abnormal value (in this case the display will indicate ). This error message will be displayed when the power is turned on or when the Utility mode (battery check) parameter is selected. If this message appears, contact your dealer or a Yamaha service center to have the battery replaced as soon as possible. If this error message appears when the power is turned on, press any switch to return to the normal display. You attempted to recall a scene memory which contained no data. This error message will be displayed for several seconds if the scene memory you attempted to recall contains no data. There is no data in any scene memory. This will be displayed if all scene memories have been erased in utility mode, or if the power was turned on in that condition and you attempted to store without specifying a number.
