Control Change
In conjunction with a controlling computer or MIDI sequencer, 
MIDI Control Change messages are used to control ProMix 01 mix 
parameters in real time, providing dynamic mix automation. When 
a ProMix  01 mix setting is adjusted, a Control Change message is out-
put. If this message is recorded to computer or MIDI sequencer, dur-
ing playback your mix adjustments can be replayed automatically. 
ProMix 01 mix settings can also be controlled by transmitting Con-
trol Changes from other MIDI devices, using, for example, the assign-
able sliders on a synthesizer. This allows you to control ProMix 01 
from your synthesizer, or any other device that transmits Control 
Changes.
There are 531 controllable mix parameters, 0 through 530, and 1,536 
Control Changes, divided into 16 banks of 96. All parameters are ini-
tially assigned to Control Changes. However, you can change these 
using the CONTROL CHANGE ASSIGN LCD function. The Control 
Change to Parameter Assignment table in the Additions section of 
this User’s Guide lists the initial assignments. 
Shown below is the CONTROL CHANGE ASSIGN LCD function. 
The PARAMETER wheel is used to scroll through the parameters, and 
the selected parameter is highlighted. In the Control Change Bank 
and No. columns, “--” means no assign.
The MODE option sets the mode: Channel or Register. 
Channel — each bank of Control Changes uses a separate MIDI 
Channel. The MIDI Channel used depends on the Tx Ch parameter 
on the MIDI SETUP LCD function and is determined as follows: 
So, for example, when Tx Ch is set to 1, bank 0 data uses MIDI Chan-
nel 1 (1 + 0 = 1) and bank 5 data uses MIDI Channel 6 (5 + 1 = 6). 
When Tx Ch is set to 7, bank 0 data uses MIDI Channel 7 (7 + 0 = 7) 
and bank 5 data uses MIDI Channel 12 (5 + 7 = 12). If the result is 
higher than 16, start again from 1. For example, a value of 19 is MIDI 
Channel 3.
The Control Change (CONTROL) OMNI parameter on the MIDI 
SETUP LCD function is ignored in Channel mode.

   — all Control Changes use the Tx Ch MIDI Channel, and 
Control Change #98 (Non-Registered Parameter LSB) is used to spec-
ify banks.
To reset the Control Change assignments to their initial values, select 
RESET and press [ENTER]. An “Are your sure” message appears. 
Select YES to reset, NO to cancel, then press [ENTER] again. 
If several parameters are assigned to the same Control Change in the 
same bank, the lowest numbered parameter is controlled when that 
Control Change is received. When any one of the parameters is 
adjusted, the assigned Control Change is output as normal.

  The MIDI menu reappears.  !   Remember to set the relevant 
BULK parameters on the MIDI 
SETUP LCD function before try-
ing to transmit or receive Bulk 
Dump data.  Bulk Dump/Request  The BULK DUMP/REQUEST LCD function has two operating 
modes: Bulk Dump and Bulk Request. Bulk Dump outputs the 
selected data as MIDI Bulk Dump data. This is used to store 
ProMix  01 data to a controlling computer, MIDI sequencer, or MIDI 
data filer. Bulk Request, on the other hand, outputs a Bulk Request 
message requesting the selected data. The controlling computer that 
receives this message responds by transmitting the requested data. 
The Dump and Request functions can also be used to exchange data 
between ProMix 01s in a multiple system.
Shown below is the BULK DUMP/REQUEST LCD function. 
The parameters are:
  MODE
   — this determines the mode: Bulk Dump or Bulk Request. 
When Bulk Dump is selected, the selected data is output as MIDI Bulk 
Dump. When Bulk Request is selected, a Bulk Request message 
requesting the selected data is output.
  ALL
   — this is all ProMix 01 data.
  SCENE
   — this is mix scene data. You can select all mix scenes 
(01–50), just one (10–10), or a range (05–15).
  EDIT BUFFER
   — this is the Edit Buffer data. For more details about 
this and other data types, see “Data Types” on page 98.
  SETUP MEMORY
   — this is the Setup Memory data.
  CONTROL
   — this is the Control Change to Parameter Assignment 
table data.
  PROGRAM
   — this is the Mix Scene to Program Change Assignment 
table data.
 
INTERVAL TIME 
 — this determines the interval between MIDI data 
blocks. MIDI devices with a relatively small MIDI buffer sometimes 
require longer intervals. Refer to your MIDI device’s user manuals to 
see what interval is recommended. For data transfer between 
ProMix 01s, use the 300ms setting. 
While Bulk Dump or Bulk Request is in progress, the name of the data 
being output or requested is shown at the bottom of the display. 
To cancel Bulk Dump, press a cursor button or select another LCD 
function.

Make sure that PROGRAM Tx 
and CONTROL Tx are set to 
ON. Otherwise, Control Change 
and Program Change messages 
are not output. Go to the MIDI 
SETUP LCD function.
Local ON/OFF
The LOCAL ON/OFF LCD function allows you to use the ProMix  01 
faders and CH1–16 [SEL] buttons to control another ProMix 01, or 
a MIDI device that responds to MIDI Control Change and Program 
Change messages. This is similar to the Local ON/OFF function of a 
synthesizer, where the keyboard is disconnected from the tone gen-
erator so that both parts can be used independently. Using the 
ProMix 01 faders you could, for example, control parameters on a 
synthesizer or effects processor. The ProMix 01 [SEL] buttons could 
be used to select voices, programs, patches, etc., on a MIDI device.
Shown below is the LOCAL ON/OFF LCD function. Faders are listed 
in two boxed rows. Each box contains the fader’s number and its cur-
rent position, specified as a hexadecimal MIDI value. 
LOCAL ON/OFF — this turns the Local function ON and OFF. 
When set to ON, the faders and [SEL] buttons control the ProMix  01 
as normal. When set to OFF, the faders and [SEL] buttons do not con-
trol the ProMix  01 (i.e. Edit Buffer). When a fader is moved, a Control 
Change message is output, and when a CH1–16 [SEL] button is 
pressed, a Program Change message is output. The message “Program 
Change Transmitted” appears when a [SEL] button is pressed. The ST 
IN, RTN/SEND, and ST OUT faders are set to minimum automati-
cally.
When Local is set to OFF, ProMix  01 can still be controlled by another 
device using Control Change messages. The Control Change to 
Parameter Assignment table in the Additions section of this User’s 
Guide lists the initial parameter assignments. 
Once the LOCAL ON/OFF parameter has been set to OFF, you can 
toggle between Local Off mode and normal operation very quickly. 
Simply press a function button to go to another LCD function. Then, 
to return to Local Off mode, just press the [MIDI] button.
When ProMix 01 is powered ON, Local ON/OFF is set to ON auto-
matically. Note: Local OFF is effective only when the MIDI LOCAL ON/OFF LCD 
function is selected. When another LCD function is selected, the faders 
and [SEL] buttons control the ProMix 01 as normal.

Using the Oscillator
ProMix 01 features a useful sine wave oscillator that can be assigned 
to SEND3, SEND4, and the stereo output. Since it’s digital, it is highly 
accurate and produces a very clean sine wave. It can also produce pink 
noise. You can use it when setting recording levels on multitrack, two 
track, cassette, and DAT recorders. It’s also useful for system trouble-
shooting and other studio tasks.
Shown below is the OSCILLATOR LCD function. Oscillator param-
eters appear to the left of the LEVEL fader, and level meters for 
SEND3, SEND4, and ST OUT to the right. 
The parameters are:
ASSIGN — use these parameters to assign the oscillator to SEND3, 
SEND4, and the stereo output (ST OUT).
OSC — use this parameter to turn the oscillator ON and OFF. This 
is automatically set to OFF when another LCD function is selected. 
FREQ — use this parameter to select a sine wave frequency: 100Hz, 
1kHz, 10kHz, or PINK noise. 
LEVEL — use this parameter to set the oscillator level. The fader 
graphic indicates the level setting. The fader knob changes, too.  Note: Before turning the oscillator ON, it’s a good idea to set the SEND3, 
SEND4, or ST OUT faders to a minimal level. This will prevent any sud-
den tone burst surprises in your monitors or foldback headphones.

battery should last for up to five years, and you can check its condition 
using the BATTERY CHECK function. 
If the BATTERY CHECK function indicates that the battery needs 
replacing, please contact your Yamaha dealer. 
Shown below is the BATTERY CHECK LCD function. 
Possible messages are:
Battery is OK!! — battery is OK.
Warning! Low battery — battery power is getting low. Ask your 
Yamaha dealer to install a new battery. 
Warning! No battery — no battery is installed. Ask your Yamaha 
dealer to install a new battery. Important: Do not try to replace the battery yourself.

ProMix 01 Initialization
This function allows you to reset all ProMix 01 mix settings, mix 
scenes, user effects programs, user EQ programs, and user dynamics 
programs to their initial settings (i.e. their factory settings). 
Initialization consists of:
• Clearing all user RAM areas: mix scenes, user effects programs, 
user EQ programs, and user dynamics programs.
• Initializing the Edit Buffer (i.e. all mix settings).
• Initializing the Mix Scene to Program Change table.
• Initializing the Control Change to Parameter Assignment table.
• Copying mix scene 00 to mix scenes 1 through 50.
• Initializing the I/O ports.
• Calibrating the faders (don’t worry about the noise).
• Refreshing the LCD.
• Resetting.
Fader Calibration
If ProMix 01 is not used for some time, is moved to a new location, 
or the faders are obstructed in some way, fader movements may 
become irregular. In this case the faders need calibrating. This calcu-
lates the torque required by each fader motor to drive its fader accu-
rately and smoothly. Fader calibration takes about 30 seconds, and 
the message “Calibrating Faders” is shown while it’s in progress. Note: If you want to reset just the mix settings, recall mix scene 00 
instead. See “Mix Scene 00” on page 62.
Note: Do not touch or obstruct the faders while calibration is in progress. 
If you do so accidentally, calibrate the faders again.1. Power OFF ProMix 01.
2. Press and hold down 
[ENTER].
3. Power ON ProMix 01.
The faders are calibrated.
When the faders return to 
their previous positions, cali-
bration is complete.
