Yamaha has released the November firmware updates for the MGX mixer and URX audio-interface series as well as the CC1 DAW controller, further enhancing functionality and user experience.
Yamaha MGX and URX: new features, improved workflow
The November firmware update enables the use of FLEX12GEQ on stereo and mix output buses of the MGX mixers. Any 12 of the 31 bands of the graphic EQ can now be controlled simultaneously, which is an essential tool to tune a PA system to a room. Yamaha also added a GEQ Link function that allows GEQ settings to be applied to stereo-paired channels. Creating new scenes has also become easier and more versatile. The new RECALL SAFE function lets users explicitly choose which parameters and channels shall be included in a stored scene, saving a lot of time when creating setups for new sessions. For enhanced operational security, the firmware update also introduces CONSOLE LOCK to protect access to the MGX user interface. Additional workflow improvements of the send screen, various submenus, CUE functions, high-pass filter settings and coarse/fine adjustments for dynamics parameters further enhance the usability.
More control with the Yamaha CC1
With the release of ControlCenter 2, the Yamaha CC1 DAW controller becomes more versatile than ever. Users can now create and manage profiles for supported plug-ins to quickly adapt the interface of the CC1 to the selected tool. Furthermore, the all-new Smart Override function simplifies the setup process by automatically assigning supported actions to nearby knobs. The new firmware also expands the MIDI capabilities of the CC1, supporting seven message types such as Pitch Bend and Aftertouch, which allow for deeper integration with MIDI-compatible software and hardware. Additionally, Steinberg Cubase and Nuendo users benefit from enhanced DAW integration that improves Focus QC and Control Room functions for streamlined Cubase workflows.
