Key Feature Discussion Four-band Parametric EQ & Library The 03D input channels, stereo input channel, stereo output, bus outs, aux sends, and onboard effects returns all feature four-band fully parametric EQ, with variable gain, frequency, Q, and bypass. That’s 160 bands of EQ! High and low EQ bands can be used as shelving, peaking, or HPF and LPF, respectively.

See Digital Stereo In on page 221 for more information. Easy-to-Learn GUI Interface 03D operation is both logical and intuitive. The large 320 x 240 dot display with fluo- rescent backlight uses graphical icons to represent controls, and provides a clear indi- cation of current settings and EQ curves.
On many mixers, the only way to store mix settings is with marker pen and masking tape. With the 03D, however, virtually every mix setting can be stored as a mix scene in one of the 03D’s 50 scene memories. Mix scenes can be recalled instantly with just one button press, or MIDI Program Change command.

Chapter 16—Automix About Automix The 03D’s Automix function provides dynamic mix automation referenced to an exter- nal timecode source. The external timecode can be either MTC or MIDI Clock. The automix start time can be offset relative to the external timecode. Automix can be used to record and playback fader moves, channel mutes, EQ changes, pan, and more.
When an automix is recalled, the contents of the selected automix become the current automix. The current automix is remembered when the 03D is turned off. So they don’t have to store the current automix before the 03D is turned off.

Chapter 17—Other Functions Using the Onboard Oscillator The 03D features a useful, onboard audio oscillator, which can be assigned to the bus outputs, aux sends, stereo output, and onboard effects. It can be used for calibration or diagnostic purposes. Assigning a burst noise waveform to the onboard effects proces- sors, for example, is a convenient way to audition reverb settings.
RECALL CONFIRMATION When this preference is set to ON, the 03D display a confirmation dialog box whenever a mix scene or library program is recalled. This is useful for preventing mix scenes and library programs from being recalled accidentally.
3. Release the [STORE] button and select an option. Calibrating the Faders If the 03D is not used for a long time, is moved to a new location, or fader movements have been obstructed, the faders may need calibrating. The calibration process calcu- lates the torque required by each fader motor to drive its fader accurately and smoothly.
44.1 kHz and 48 kHz are available. When the internal wordclock generator is used, the 03D can be used as wordclock master, with other digital devices working as wordclock slaves. Alternatively, the 03D can be used with external wordclock rates of between 32 kHz –6% and 48 kHz +6%.
Page 218
03D Preferences on page 213 for more information. No wordclock signal available. FS —When the 03D is locked to a wordclock, the sampling rate appears here (48k, 44.1k, or 32k). When it is unlocked, the display shows UNLOCK. If another page is accessed in the unlocked state, UNLOCK appears on that page too.
Page 219
For correct operation it is essential that wordclock cabling be terminated correctly. The 03D has a wordclock termination ON/OFF (75 ) switch on the rear panel. Wordclock is a TTL signal, and IN and OUT connections use BNC connectors. Three wordclock distribution examples are shown below.
Digital Stereo Out The 03D features both AES/EBU and COAX- IAL-type digital stereo outputs. They output the same digital audio signal but in different formats. The XLR-3-32-type connector outputs AES/EBU format digital audio, while the COAXIAL connec- tor outputs Consumer format digital audio.
DIGITAL STEREO OUT or YGDAI card. If, for example, you have a 20-bit digital recorder connected to the 03D’s DIGITAL STE- REO OUT for use as a master recorder, set the wordlength to 20 and turn on dither for the ST OUT DIGITAL.
Emphasis When a digital audio signal containing emphasis is connected to the digital stereo input, the 03D automatically detects it and de-emphasizes as necessary. Once a signal has been de-emphasized, it’s processed and output by the 03D without emphasis. The 03D cannot apply emphasis to digital output signals.

I/O support for several industry standard digital audio formats and protocols. Using a YGDAI card, the 03D’s bus, aux, and input channel sig- nals 1–16 can be output to other digital audio equipment, including digital multitrack recorders.
Page 225
DA-88. The digital outputs can be any combination of bus outs, aux sends, and direct outputs from the first 16 input channels. So even though the 03D has only four bus out- puts, up to eight tracks can be recorded simultaneously. When the 03D is used with a digital multitrack recorder, input channels 17 to 24 function as tape returns.
Page 227
Chapter 18—Digital I/O Installing YGDAI Cards Warning: Turn off the 03D before installing a YGDAI card. Failure to do so is an electrical shock hazard, and may damage the 03D or card. 1. Turn off the 03D. 2. Undo the four fixing screws and remove the slot cover, as shown below.
The 03D can also be cascaded with the Yamaha 02R Digital Recording Console, which is an 8-bus console. The CD8-CS Cascade Kit con- tains two cards and one cable. This is all that is required to cascade two 03Ds or a 03D and 02R together.

An incorrect signal may have been input to the TO HOST connector. The 03D is probably receiving too much MIDI data at the TO HOST connector. The 03D is probably transmitting too much MIDI data from the TO HOST connector.
In some situations you may want to fit a protective cover over the analog controls across the top of the 03D. Although Yamaha do not make a cover, the 03D has four fixing holes to secure a user-made cover. If you fit such a cover, make sure that the fixing screws do not protrude inside the 03D by more than 12 mm.
