[. . . ] LS9 StageMix V4. 0 User Guide Welcome: Thank you for downloading the “LS9 StageMix” iPad app for the Yamaha LS9 digital mixing consoles. The latest firmware version for LS9 can be downloaded from www. yamahaproaudio. com StageMix is an application for the Apple iPad that provides remote control of Yamaha LS9 digital mixing console functions via a simple, intuitive graphical interface from anywhere within wireless range. The software has been specifically designed to allow engineers to adjust monitor mixes from the performers’ positions on stage, directly controlling mix parameters via the iPad rather than having to rely on verbal directions to a second engineer. The result is better mixes in less time; a huge advantage during high-pressure pre-show setup. [. . . ] Note: Pan Link mode for each Stereo Mix Bus can only be activated in the console, not from StageMix. To exit “SENDS ON FADERS” mode, press the [SENDS ON FADERS] button in the left column. Page 19 Yamaha Commercial Audio LS9 StageMix V4. 0 User Guide 5. 0 EQ / PAN / DYNAMICS The thumbnail area at the top of each channel strip displays an EQ curve, the Pan position, or the Dynamics status for that channel. The buttons to the left of the thumbnails are used to select between EQ, PAN and Dynamics mode by tapping on the left or right cursor button. 5. 1 EQ Every channel in the LS9 console has a dedicated Parametric EQ (PEQ). LS9 consoles also have Graphic EQs (GEQs) that can be assigned (inserted) on input or output channels. Note: assignment of GEQs to channels must be done on the console and cannot be done in StageMix. 5. 1. 1 EQ Curve in Mixer Window The EQ curve section on the Mixer Window will show the user whether a GEQ is available on any channel. If a GEQ is available on a channel in addition to PEQ, the user will be able to view the curve for either of these EQs and access the editing screen for either type of EQ. Green and blue dots below each EQ curve indicate the types of EQ available on that channel, and the type of EQ (PEQ or GEQ) that is currently displayed for that channel. When only PEQ is currently available on a channel, no dots will appear below the curve. In the example above: • Mix Bus 1 has both PEQ and GEQ available, and GEQ is currently being displayed (the blue dot is solid and the curve is blue). • Mix Bus 2 has both PEQ and GEQ available, and PEQ is currently being displayed (the green dot is solid and the curve is green). Page 20 Yamaha Commercial Audio • LS9 StageMix V4. 0 User Guide Mix Busses 3-8 have only PEQ available so no dots are displayed below their EQ curves. 5. 1. 2 Selecting PEQ or GEQ On any channel displaying both a green and a blue dot below the EQ curve, the user can select either of those EQ types to be displayed by using a swipe gesture in the EQ curve area. If a PEQ curve is currently displayed, swiping from right to left will cause the GEQ curve to be displayed. If a GEQ curve is currently displayed, swiping from left to right will cause the PEQ curve to be displayed. 5. 1. 3 Accessing the EQ Editing Screens To access PEQ or GEQ editing, tap on the EQ curve to open the appropriate EQ Editing Screen. • • If a PEQ curve is displayed, the PEQ editing screen will be accessed. Note: the EQ editing screen will be accessed when the finger is removed from the curve. Swipe gestures will not cause the Editing screen to be accessed. Page 21 Yamaha Commercial Audio 5. 2 PARAMETRIC EQ EDITING LS9 StageMix V4. 0 User Guide The current channel’s Name, Color, Fader, Level Meters, [ON] and [CUE] buttons are shown in the left column. At the bottom-left, there are “previous” and “next” arrow buttons for navigating to different channels. Buttons above the channel strip section provide direct access to the Dynamics editing screen for the currently selected channel. If a GEQ is assigned to that channel, these buttons will also provide direct access to the GEQ editing screen. Navigation between these screens follows this pattern: PEQ <-> GEQ <-> DYN <-> PEQ <-> GEQ etc. . Note: the In/Out meters display the levels going In and Out of the EQ section. Press one of the green circles to select the band, and it will be highlighted yellow. [. . . ] Verify that the settings in the console match the settings in StageMix. This problem will also occur if the console is not turned On.
