Yamaha digital mixing studio 01x User Manual

01X   Owner’s Manual

You’ve seen how the 01X is a full-featured stand-alone mixer and an exceptionally versatile front-end mixer for 

recording and mixdown with a computer system.  In this section, you’ll discover that it’s also a convenient, compre-

hensive control surface for your audio sequencer or DAW (digital audio workstation).  

The 01X gives you tape recorder style transport controls, a wealth of buttons for navigating and controlling your song, 

and most importantly, lets you use the faders, knobs and channel buttons ([SEL] buttons and [ON] buttons) for mixing 

your sequencer tracks in real time.  Full automation — with moving faders — is implemented, and you can even 

change and automate EQ and effect settings for each track.  In short, the 01X provides a completely transparent hard-

ware link with your computer-based music production.

Templates are included for most major DAW applications and MIDI/audio sequencers, including Cubase SX/SL, 

Nuendo, Logic, SONAR, and Digital Performer.  Naturally, the Yamaha SQ01 V2 is supported as well.

Throughout this section, we’ve used Cubase SX for the examples, but most or all of these control features are available 

for the other supported sequencers as well.  If you’re familiar with the concepts and basic functions covered here, and 

are aware how they apply to your own particular sequencer, you should have no problem learning from these instruc-

tions, no matter what sequencer you use. 

Open or record a song in Cubase SX, and as you read 

through this section, try out the controls with the song.  

(Ideally, the song should have several tracks of audio and/

or MIDI data.)

For details on setting up your computer and DAW applica-

tion for use with the 01X, see the separate Installation 

Guide.

Here, we’ll show you how to set up Cubase SX for mLAN 

connection with the 01X. 

Before you can use the 01X with Cubase SX, you’ll need 

to specify the particular hardware control set that Cubase 

recognizes.
