Encoder Mode on the DM7
The encoder mode on the DM7 draws on the functionality seen in the Yamaha RIVAGE series. For engineers looking to streamline their workflow on the console, Jeff and Russ take a deep dive into how the encoder mode can be used to efficiently adjust various parameters across multiple channels.
Key Points:
- Encoder mode, a feature borrowed from the Yamaha RIVAGE series, allows users to reassign the function of channel encoders from their default settings (like EQ or dynamics) to other parameters.
- Encoders are incredibly versatile, as a single encoder can be used to adjust different parameters like high-pass frequency, panning, analog gain, digital gain, and dynamic thresholds. The color coding and display changes on the console offer visual cues for the current encoder function.
- The encoder mode allows for rapid, global adjustments across multiple channels. For example, setting the encoders to high-pass frequency enabled quick tweaking of this parameter across all channels in a layer.
- Users can choose from various options like mix levels, matrix levels, panning, analog and digital gain settings, and high and low-pass frequency adjustments.
- The DM7 features automatic analog or digital gain adjustment. The console can detect the nature of the input, and automatically set the encoder to adjust the relevant gain type.
- The encoder mode settings can be customized in the user setup, allowing an engineer to tailor the console to their specific workflow and preferences.
- Encoder mode significantly enhances workflow efficiency, especially in situations requiring quick adjustments across a large number of channels.
