SREV1—Owner’s Manual
Important Information
Read the following before using the SREV1
Warnings
• Do not subject the unit to extreme temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight, or dust,
which could be a potential fire or electrical shock hazard.
• Do not allow water to enter the unit or allow it to get wet. Fire or electrical shock may
result.
• Connect the power cord or AC adapter only to an AC outlet of the type stated in this
Owner’s Manual
or as marked on the unit. Failure to do so is a fire and electrical shock
hazard.
• Hold the power-cord plug or AC adapter when disconnecting from an AC outlet. Never
pull the cord. A power cord damaged through pulling is a potential fire and electrical
shock hazard.
• Do not touch the power plug or AC adapter with wet hands. Doing so is a potential elec-
trical shock hazard.
• Do not place heavy objects, including the unit, on top of the power cord. A damaged
power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard. In particular, be careful not to place
heavy objects on a power cord covered by a carpet.
• Do not place a container with liquid or small metal objects on top of this unit. Liquid
or metal objects inside this unit are a fire and electrical shock hazard.
• Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power cord. A damaged power cord is a
fire and electrical shock hazard.
• If the power cord is damaged (e.g., cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a
replacement. Using the unit with a damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock
hazard.
• Do not plug several pieces of equipment into the same AC outlet. This may overload
the AC outlet, and could be a fire or electrical shock hazard. It may also affect the per-
formance of some equipment.
• If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor, or noise, or if a foreign object or
liquid gets inside the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord or AC
adapter from the AC outlet and consult your dealer for repair. Using a unit in this con-
dition is a fire and electrical shock hazard.
• Do not place small objects on top of the unit. Metal objects falling inside is a fire and
electrical shock hazard.
• If a foreign object or water gets inside the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the
power cord or AC adapter from the AC outlet and consult your dealer for repair. Using
a unit in this condition is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard.
• If the unit is dropped or the cabinet damaged, turn off the power, remove the power
plug or AC adapter from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer. If you continue using
the unit without heeding this instruction, fire or electrical shock may result.
• Do not remove the unit covers. You could receive an electrical shock. If you think inter-
nal inspection, maintenance, or repair is necessary, contact your dealer.
• Do not attempt to modify the unit. This is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard.
ii
Important Information
SREV1—Owner’s Manual
• Do not block the front panel air inlet, ventilation slots, or fan outlets. Doing so is a
potential fire hazard.
Cautions
• Allow enough free space around the SREV1 for normal ventilation. This should be 20
cm behind, 10 cm at the sides, and 30 cm above. These distances should also be adopted
when rack-mounting the SREV1. If the SREV1 is mounted in a portable rack case, keep
the rear of the case open when using the SREV1 so as not to obstruct the flow of air from
the two cooling fans. If the airflow is not adequate, the SREV1 will heat up inside and
may cause a fire. Do not mount the SREV1 above equipment that produces a lot of heat,
such as a power amplifier.
• Turn off all audio equipment when connecting to the unit, and use only cables of the
type specified in this
Owner’s Manual.
• If you plan not to use the unit for a long period of time, remove the power cord or AC
adapter from the AC outlet. Leaving the unit connected is a potential fire hazard.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth to clean the unit.
Use only a soft, dry cloth.
• If the unit is stored in a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car), and then moved to a warmer
environment, or if the temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside the
unit, which may affect performance. In this case, the unit should be allowed to acclima-
tize for about one hour before use.
• When the wordclock is changed on the wordclock master device, noise may occur from
the SREV1’s outputs, especially if an MY8-AT I/O card is installed, so turn down your
power amps beforehand, otherwise any connected speakers may be damaged.
• If the RC-SREV1 displays the message “LOW BATTERY” when you turn on the unit,
ask your Yamaha dealer to replace the internal battery as soon as possible. The unit will
still work, but data other than backed up data will be lost. We recommend that you save
this data to a PC Card before replacing the battery.
• For electrical safety reasons, it’s important that the SREV1 is grounded properly. The
supplied power cord has a three-pin plug, and if the ground terminal of the AC outlet
is grounded, then the SREV1 will be grounded sufficiently through the power cord. If
the AC outlet does not provide a suitable ground, however, a ground connection should
be made to the dedicated grounding screw.

SREV1—Owner’s Manual
Handling CD-ROMs
• Use only discs of the type specified in this
Owner’s Manual
.
• The CD-ROM drive is for use with data discs only. Never insert audio CDs.
• Store discs in a place free from extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, and dirt.
• Always store discs in their cases.
• When handling discs, be careful not to touch the surface. Hold discs by the edge. Fin-
gerprints, smudges, scratches, or dirt can affect performance.
• Be careful not to scratch the labeled side of the disc. Even scratches on that side can
affect performance.
• Fingerprints and dust should be removed by wiping gently from the center of the disc
towards the disc edge, using a soft, dry cloth. Never wipe in a circular motion and never
rub a disc hard with a dry cloth.
• For stubborn stains and dirt, use a cleaning kit designed specifically for use with CDs.
Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth.
• For disc marking, use only pens specifically designed for writing on CDs and write only
on the designated area. Do not attach a label to a disc.
• If a disc is stored in a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car), and then moved to a warmer
environment, or if the temperature rises sharply, condensation may form on the disc
surface, which may affect performance. In this case, the disc should be allowed to accli-
matize for about one hour before use.
• Do not under any circumstances attempt to use discs that are cracked or warped. Doing
so may seriously damage the unit.
Handling PC Cards
• Use only PC Cards of the type specified in this
Owner’s Manual
.
• Some PC Cards and PC Card adapters cannot be used with the SREV1.
• Do not eject a PC Card while the activity indicator is lit. Doing so may cause data lose.
• Store PC Cards in a place free from extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, and dirt.
• Always store PC Cards in their cases.
Precautions for Transportation
During transportation, keep the CD-ROM door shut with tape, or a pad, or the like.
• When using tape, use tape that adheres well to the front panel.
• When using a pad, use a pad stiff enough that the elasticity holds the tray in place.

erences to physical buttons are enclosed in square brackets, such as “press the [ENTER]
button.” References to page buttons are not emphasized, for example, select the WCLK
IN button.
Generally there are three versions of each RC-SREV1 display page, one for each mode:
2-channel, 4-channel, and 2-channel x2. If relevant to the task being explained, all three
pages are shown. If the item being discussed is the same regardless of which mode is
selected, then only one page is shown.
“PC” refers to an IBM PC-compatible computer running a Windows operating system.

SREV1—Owner’s Manual
Welcome to the SREV1
Thank you for choosing the Yamaha SREV1 Sampling Reverberator.
Unlike conventional digital reverberators, which synthesize reverberation using con-
trived signal-processing algorithms, the new SREV1 Sampling Reverberator from
Yamaha employs digital convolution processing to impose an acoustic “fingerprint” of
a previously measured environment onto any audio signal, faithfully recreating the
original reverberation, with accurate reflection detail identical to that produced had the
sound been heard in that environment. The SREV1 is perfect for recording studios,
audio post, broadcast, concert halls, theaters, or anyone looking for superb quality
reverb that sounds just like the real thing, with the option to sample the reverberation
characteristics of any location for use back in the studio.
The SREV1 in a Nutshell
Sonic “fingerprints” are produced by measuring the impulse response (i.e., acoustic
characteristics) of an environment, which involves “blasting out” time-stretched pulses
through an accurate speaker system and recording the results via carefully placed
microphones. The resultant impulse-response data can then be used by the SREV1 to
convolve the captured acoustic characteristics onto any audio signal.
In addition to stereo reverb (2-channel mode), the SREV1 offers four-channel process-
ing for surround reverb (4-channel mode). Alternatively, the SREV1 can be configured
as two fully independent reverberators (2-channel x2 mode), each with its own inputs,
outputs, and program settings.
Thirty-two of Yamaha’s new convolution chips provide the necessary “horsepower” for
real-time convolution of up to 5.46 seconds per channel (2-channel mode), 2.73 sec-
onds per channel (4-channel or 2-channel x2 mode). Featuring an additional 32 con-
volution chips, the optional DB-SREV1 DSP Expansion Board doubles the available
convolution time to a maximum of 10.92 seconds per channel (2-channel mode), 5.46
seconds per channel (4-channel or 2-channel x2 mode).
Measured impulse response data is combined with variable parameters such as reverb
time and initial delay to form reverb

or the Internal Card or PC Card. Up to six programs can be stored in Quick
memory in 2-channel or 4-channel mode; 12 in 2-channel x2 mode. Programs in
Quick memory can be recalled instantly via the optional RC-SREV1 Remote Controller
or MIDI Program Changes.
Projects, which contain all the Quick memory programs and the current program set-
tings, provide a convenient way to manage programs and settings for each job. Projects
can be stored on the Internal Card or PC Card.
The PC Card slot is fully compatible with the PC Card ATA specification and supports
the FAT16 file system. The CD-ROM drive supports the ISO9660 Level 2 format. Both
the PC Card and CD-ROM format is compatible with Windows.
The supplied CD-ROM contains preset reverb programs of famous venues from
around the world, and a CD-ROM library is planned for future release. The preset pro-
grams on the supplied CD-ROM are loaded into the Internal Card at the factory.
Program editing is handled at two levels: Main parameters and Fine parameters. With
Main parameter editing, channel parameters, such as reverb time, initial delay, reverb
balance, EQ, etc., are grouped, so that, for example, the reverb time of all channels can
be set simultaneously. Fine parameter editing adds pre-convolution 4-band PEQ,
post-convolution 4-band PEQ, and impulse-response data loading. Reverb parameters
can be edited individually or grouped. Reverb balance and reverb level parameters for
each channel can be controlled individually via MIDI Control Changes.
Two AES/EBU inputs and outputs (providing 4 channels) are built in and two mini
YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface) slots offer various analog and digital
I/O options (AES/EBU, ADAT, Tascam). Inputs can be assigned to channels individu-
ally, allowing various input/output configurations. In 2-channel mode, for example, a
single input can be assigned to both channels (left and right) for mono in/stereo out
operation, or an individual input can be assigned to each channel for true stereo in/ste-
reo out operation.
Superb sonic performance is provided by Yamaha’s new convolution chip, 24-bit I/O,
32-bit internal signal processing, and 48 kHz internal wordclock. External wordclocks
of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz are supported and can be sourced via the dedicated BNC word-
clock input, AES/EBU inputs, or card slot inputs.
Up to four SREV1s can be controlled using the optional RC-SREV1 Remote Controller,
which features a large 320 x 240 dot graphical display, with fluorescent backlight and
adjustable brightness and contrast, four motorized faders for parameter editing, and
input and output clip indicators. Power is supplied by the SREV1.

SREV1 Basics
Reverb Modes
The SREV1 offers three Reverb modes: 2-channel, 4-channel, and 2-channel x2. In
2-channel mode, the SREV1 functions as a stereo reverb processor. Use this mode if all
you require is stereo outputs, as it offers the maximum convolution time per channel.
In 4-channel mode, the SREV1 offers 4-channel processing for surround reverb. In
2-channel x2 mode, the SREV1 functions as two independent stereo reverb processors
(A and B).
See page 34 for information on selecting Reverb modes.
The onboard AES/EBU inputs and mini YGDAI slot inputs can be freely assigned to
channels. See “Assigning Inputs” on page 35 for more information.
Convolution Times
The following table shows the maximum convolution time available per channel for
each mode with and without the optional DB-SREV1 DSP Expansion Board installed.
Convolution time is not the same as reverb time. Reverb time is the time it takes the
reverb to decay to –60 dB, and more convolution is required to provide reverberation
to –90 dB or –120 dB, so the convolution time must be between 1.5 and 2 times more
than the reverb time.
Impulse-Response Data
Impulse-response data contains the impulse-response information (i.e., acoustic char-
acteristics) of a measured environment. Preset programs come with their own
impulse-response data. Each channel of a program is assigned impulse-response data,
as shown below, and data can be loaded for channels individually on the Data Load
pages. See “Loading Impulse-Response Data” on page 61 for more information. The
impulse-response data for the preset programs is loaded into the Internal Card at the
factory. It’s also on the supplied CD-ROM.

Programs
There are two types of reverb program: 2-channel and 4-channel. Two-channel pro-
grams are for use with 2-channel mode and 2-channel x2 mode, while 4-channel pro-
grams are for use only with 4-channel mode. In 2-channel mode, 4-channel programs
do not appear in the program lists and vice versa. The preset programs on the supplied
CD-ROM are loaded into the Internal Card at the factory. User programs can be stored
in the Quick memories, Internal Card or PC Card, where they can be write-protected.
Projects
Projects contain all the Quick memory programs and the current program settings and
free you to leave a project and come back to it at any time. Projects can be saved to the
Internal Card or PC Card, where they can be write-protected.
There are three types of project: 2-channel, 4-channel, and 2-channel x2. Each project
type is available only when the corresponding mode is selected. You can’t, for example,
select a 2-channel project in 4-channel mode. Projects are managed on the Project
pages. See “Working with Projects” on page 48 for more information.
Quick Memories
Quick memories are special memories for storing programs. Unlike programs on the
Internal Card, PC Cards, and CD-ROMs, which take time to load, Quick memory pro-
grams can be recalled instantly. There are six Quick memories available in 2-channel or
4-channel mode; 12 in 2-channel x2 mode. Quick memories are managed on the Pro-
gram pages. See “Working with Quick Memories” on page 42 for more information.

Drives
Programs, projects, and impulse-response data can be loaded from the following
drives: Internal Card, PC Card, or CD-ROM. The number of programs that can be
stored on each drive depends on its capacity and the size of the associated
impulse-response data. Programs and drives are managed on the Library pages. See
“Working with the Library” on page 45 for more information.
The following diagram shows how programs and projects can be transferred to and
from the drives and Quick memories, and impulse-response data transferred from the
drives.

File Types
The SREV1 uses several file extensions to identify file types. Although these extensions
do not generally appear on the RC-SREV1 pages, they may come in useful when check-
ing the contents of a PC Card or CD-ROM on your PC.
Parameters
SREV1 program parameters, such as reverb time, initial delay, an EQ, are stored within
each program. Saved parameters include: reverb time, initial delay, reverb balance,
reverb level, pre EQ, post EQ, and impulse-response data names.
Other parameters, including reverb mode, wordclock source, I/O select, I/O level, and
MIDI settings, are not stored within each program, but they are stored in the SREV1’s
battery-backed memory.

The POWER indicator goes out.
Turning On & Off the RC-SREV1
1 To turn on the RC-SREV1, set its [POWER] switch to the ON
position.
The startup screen appears, and after communication is established
between the SREV1 and RC-SREV1, the Program page appears.
See “RC-SREV1 Startup” on page 32 for more information.
2 To turn off the RC-SREV1, set its [POWER] switch to the OFF
position.
The RC-SREV1 receives its power from the SREV1 via the remote
cable, so if it doesn’t come on, make sure that the remote cable is con-
nected properly and that the SREV1 is turned on.
Warning: Turn off all equipment before making any power connections.
Note: In general, set the RC-SREV1 POWER switch to the ON position and use the
SREV1 POWER switch to turn on and off the system. When using a custom-made remote
cable, and an optional AC adapter, if the RC-SREV1 is turned on before the SREV1, the
SREV1 must be turned on within 50 seconds. During this time the message “COULD
NOT COMMUNICATE WITH SREV1. CHECK THE CABLE CONNECTION AND
SREV1’S POWER. THEN TURN ON RC-SREV1 AGAIN.” appears. Therefore, turn on
the RC-SREV1 after the SREV1.

Using an Optional RC-SREV1 AC Adapter 27
SREV1—Owner’s Manual
Using an Optional RC-SREV1 AC Adapter
The remote cable, which carries power from the SREV1 to the RC-SREV1, is 20 meters
in length. Since the power loss in longer cables would be too great, an optional Yamaha
PA-6 AC power supply adapter (12 V DC) is required to power the RC-SREV1 when
using remote cables over 20 meters in length. A wiring diagram for making custom
remote cables is available on page 91. See your Yamaha dealer for more information.
The optional Yamaha PA-6 AC power supply adapter should be con-
nected to the DC 12V IN connector on the rear of the RC-SREV1.
Loop the AC adapter cable around cable clip,
shown here, to prevent accidental disconnection.
Adjusting the RC-SREV1 Brightness & Contrast
Both the brightness and contrast of the RC-SREV1 display can
be adjusted to suit your working environment or personal
preference.
1 Use the CONT control to set the display contrast.
Contrast adjusts the balance between pixels that are on and
those that are off.
2 Use the BRIGHT control to set the display brightness.
Brightness adjusts the strength of the display’s backlight.
Warning: Use only the Yamaha PA-6 AC power
supply adapter with the RC-SREV1. Using any
other AC adapter may cause a fault, leading to a
buildup of heat, fire, or an electrical shock hazard.

SREV1—Owner’s Manual
SREV1 Startup
When the SREV1 is turned on, its INPUT and OUTPUT signal indicators light up in
sequence. During this time, the SREV1 loads impulse-response data for the current
program and the programs in Quick memory from the Internal Card, and, if necessary,
from the PC Card or CD-ROM. At this time, the SREV1 cannot be used. After about 30
seconds, when the necessary impulse-response data has been loaded, the CLIP and
SIGNAL indicators go out and the SREV1 is ready for use.
Note that the startup time will be different if the current program or the programs in
Quick memory are on PC Card or CD-ROM.
If the SREV1 does not output any sound, check your audio connections, and the input
assignments. See “Assigning Inputs” on page 35 for more information.
RC-SREV1 Startup
In Principle, the RC-SREV1 should be started up after the SREV1 has completed its
startup. However, when the RC-SREV1 is connected to one SREV1 using the supplied
remote cable, and that SREV1 is supplying power to the RC-SREV1, so long as the
RC-SREV1 POWER switch is set to the ON position, the RC-SREV1 will be turned on
at the same time as the SREV1 is turned on, and the RC-SREV1 will startup normally.
If, however, you are using multiple SREV1s, connected together using serial cables,
make sure that all SREV1s have completed startup before turning on the RC-SREV1.
When the RC-SREV1 is turned on, startup screen 1 appears for one second. Then star-
tup screen 2 appears with an animated waveform moving from left to right. During this
time, the RC-SREV1 receives necessary operating information from the SREV1 via the
serial cable. When all the information has been received, the Program page appears.
When the RC-SREV1 is turned on after the SREV1 has completed its startup, the above
procedure takes 15 seconds.
When the RC-SREV1 is turned on at the same time as the SREV1, it takes 45 seconds to
start up, although the actual time will depend on the time it takes the SREV1 to start up.
If there is no animation on startup screen 2, there may be a communication error
between the SREV1 and RC-SREV1. In this case, turn off both units and check the
remote cable connections, also check for breaks in the cable.
Startup screen 1 Startup screen 2
About the Internal Operations at Startup 33
SREV1—Owner’s Manual
About the Internal Operations at Startup
During startup, the SREV1 loads the necessary programs into the current and Quick
program memories in order to restore the SREV1 to the same state it was in before it
was last turned off. If any of these programs were previously loaded from a PC Card or
CD-ROM and then stored to a Quick memory, the same PC Card or CD-ROM will be
required to restore the contents of the Quick memories. In this case, be sure to insert
the necessary PC Card or CD-ROM before starting the SREV1. Although the SREV1’s
battery-backed memory stores the titles of the current and Quick memory programs,
it does not store the actual program or impulse-response data, so this must be loaded
each time the SREV1 is started.
If a necessary PC Card or CD-ROM is not inserted, the message “DATA FILE NOT
FOUND! INSERT PCMCIA CARD” or “DATA FILE NOT FOUND! INSERT
CD-ROM DISC” appears once the RC-SREV1 has completed startup. In this case,
insert the necessary PC Card or CD-ROM and try loading again.
Note that the above information regarding necessary PC Cards and CD-ROMs also
applies to changing the Reverb mode and loading projects.

Setting Input & Output Levels
Input and output signal levels can be set on two different pages: Main 2 page or Meter
I/O page. On the Main 2 page, levels are adjusted for all channels simultaneously as a
group, while on the Meter I/O page, they can be adjusted for each channel individually.
This section explains how to adjust input and output levels on the Meter I/O page. See
page 54 for information on the Main 2 page.
1 Use the [UTILITY] button to locate the Meter I/O page.
2 Use the cursor buttons to select the INPUT LEVEL and OUTPUT LEVEL param-
eters for each channel.
3 Use the faders to set the levels.
The DATA wheel or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons can also be used to set levels in
0.1 dB steps.
The input and output levels can be set from –∞, –72.0 dB to +6.0 dB in steps of 0.1 dB.

Metering 37
SREV1—Owner’s Manual
Metering
Input and output signal levels can be metered in several places: the 14-segment meters
on the RC-SREV1 display pages, the 11-segment meters on the Meter I/O page, the
SIGNAL and CLIP indicators on the SREV1, and the CLIP indicators on the
RC-SREV1. The Peak Hold function works with all of these meters. See “Using Peak
Hold” on page 39 for more information.
14-segment Meters
Input and output signal levels can be metered by using the 14-segment meters that
appear on most RC-SREV1 display pages. In 2-channel mode, input and output signal
levels can be metered simultaneously. In 4-channel or 2-channel x2 mode, however,
either the input or output levels can be metered, not both simultaneously. See “Setting
the Meter Mode” on page 39 for more information.
The 14-segment LCD meters have the following resolution: CLIP / –3dB / –6dB / –9dB
/ –12dB / –15dB / –18dB / –24dB / –30dB / –36dB / –42dB / –48dB / –54dB / –60dB.
The following table shows how the input and output meters appear in each mode.

Meter I/O Page
Input and output signal levels for all channels can be metered by using the 11-segment
meters on the Meter I/O pages shown below, which are located by using the [UTILITY]
button.
The 11-segment LCD meters have the following resolution:
CLIP, –3 dB, –6dB, –9 dB, –12dB, –15 dB, –18dB, –24 dB, –30dB, –36 dB, –42dB
SREV1 SIGNAL and CLIP indicators
Input and output signal levels for each channel can be metered by using the SIGNAL
and CLIP indicators on the SREV1 front panel. The SIGNAL indicators light up when
the signal is 34 dB below clipping and are intended to show the presence of a signal,
while the CLIP indicators light up when the signal is actually clipping.
RC-SREV1 CLIP indicators
Input and output signal levels for each channel can be metered for clipping by using the
CLIP indicators on the RC-SREV1. These indicators light up when a signal is clipping.

Setting the Meter Mode
In 4-channel or 2-channel x2 mode, the 14-segment meters that appear on most
RC-SREV1 display pages can be set to display either input or output signal levels by
using the METER MODE option.
In 2-channel mode, meters for both the inputs and outputs (left and right) are always
displayed, so the METER MODE option is not available when this mode is selected.

2 Use the cursor buttons to select the METER MODE button.
3 Use the [ENTER] button to toggle between INPUT and OUTPUT mode.
The 14-segment meters are set accordingly.
Using Peak Hold
By keeping the highest lit segment of each meter illuminated, the Peak Hold function
offers a convenient way to check for signal peaks. In addition to the meters on the
RC-SREV1 display pages, the Peak Hold function also works with the dedicated CLIP
indicators on the SREV1 and RC-SREV1.
1 Use the [UTILITY] button to locate the Meter I/O page.
2 Use the cursor buttons to select the PEAK HOLD button.
3 Use the [ENTER] button to toggle between OFF and ON.

Main 1 Parameters
Basic parameters, including Reverb Time, Initial Delay, Pre EQ Low Gain, and Pre EQ
High Gain, can be adjusted on the Main 1 pages. In 2-channel x2 mode, two Main 1
pages are available: Main1-A and Main1-B. Channels are grouped, so adjusting, say, the
Reverb Time parameter, adjusts the reverb time of all channels simultaneously. In
2-channel x2 mode, A and B parameters are grouped independently. These parameters
can be adjusted for each channel individually on the Fine parameter pages. See page 56
and page 57 for more information.
The graphs and parameter values of only one channel are displayed at a time. You can
choose which channel by using the buttons in the DISPLAY CHANNEL section of the
page. Below that section is the REV graph, which displays the reverb parameter settings
graphically, and the PRE-EQ graph, which displays the Pre EQ settings graphically. If
the EQ is turned off on the Pre EQ page (see page 57), the EQ graph appears shaded.
The Main 1 pages for each mode are shown below.

SREV1—Owner’s Manual
Note that since adjustments to the REV TIME parameter do not take effect immedi-
ately, there is a small delay between adjusting the reverb time by using, for example, a
fader and the new reverb time being applied.
The parameter ranges are as follows.
The following waveforms show the reverb produced by a snare drum with reverb times
of 500 milliseconds and 2.0 seconds. Initial delay is 0.1 milliseconds; reverb balance is
100%. The third waveform shows how reflections can be delayed by using the Initial
Delay parameter. Here the reverb time is 2.0 seconds; initial delay is 200 ms (exagger-
ated for illustration clarity); and the reverb balance is 50%.

Basic parameters, including Reverb Balance, Input Level, Output Level, and Pre EQ
HPF frequency, can be adjusted on the Main 2 pages. In 2-channel x2 mode, two Main
2 pages are available: Main2-A and Main2-B. Channels are grouped, so adjusting, say,
the Reverb Balance parameter, adjusts the reverb balance of all channels simulta-
neously. In 2-channel x2 mode, A and B parameters are grouped independently. These
parameters can be adjusted for each channel individually on the Fine parameter pages.
See page 56 and page 57 for more information.
The graphs and parameter values of only one channel are displayed at a time. You can
choose which channel by using the buttons in the DISPLAY CHANNEL section of the

group them. In addition to numeric values, settings are displayed graphically.
The Rev pages for each mode are shown below.
1 Use the [PARAMETER FINE] button to locate the Rev page.
Use the ON/OFF button in the GROUP section to group and ungroup the channels.
When set to ON, all channels are adjusted simultaneously. When set to OFF, channels
can be adjusted individually.
2 Use the cursor buttons to select the REV TIME, INITIAL DELAY, REV BALANCE,
or REV LEVEL parameter.
3 Use the faders, DATA wheel, or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to adjust the
selected parameter.
Note that since adjustments to the REV TIME parameter do not take effect immedi-
ately, there is a small delay between adjusting the reverb time by using, for example, a
fader and the new reverb time being applied, especially when channels are grouped.
The parameter ranges are as follows.

Pre EQ 57
SREV1—Owner’s Manual
Pre EQ
The pre-convolution EQ consists of a variable frequency HPF and fully parametric
3-band EQ. Parameters can be adjusted for each channel individually on the Pre EQ
pages. In 4-channel mode, two Pre EQ pages are available: Pre EQ Front and Pre EQ
Rear. Likewise, in 2-channel x2 mode, with Pre EQ-A and Pre EQ-B pages. In addition
to numeric values, EQ settings are displayed graphically. Inactive parameters appear
shaded. Q, for example, is not active when, say, the HIGH band is set to H.SHELF.
The Pre EQ pages for each mode are shown below.
Note that the LOW band gain and HIGH band gain parameters can also be adjusted on
the Main 1 page (see page 52). Likewise, the HPF frequency parameter can also be
adjusted on the Main 2 page (see page 54). On these pages, however, the channels are
grouped.
1 Use the [PARAMETER FINE] button to locate the Pre EQ page.
Use the ON/OFF button next to each EQ graph to turn on and off the Pre EQ for each
channel. Note that these buttons also turn on and off the LOW band and HIGH band
parameters on the Main 1 page.

62 Chapter 5—Editing Programs
SREV1—Owner’s Manual
Impulse-response data (TM4 format) created by using IRSampler, the
impulse-response sampling software, or IREdit, the impulse-response editing software,
can be loaded into the SREV1 from a PC Card. The RC-SREV1 looks for
impulse-response data stored in the “\yamaha\srev\data” folder of the PC Card, so you
need to make a new folder called “data” in “x:\yamaha\srev\” and then copy your
impulse-response data into it. (Note that “x” refers to the letter assigned to your PC
Card while it’s inserted in your PC.)
The 2-channel (SP2) and 4-channel (SP4) programs that you create are stored in the
“\yamaha\srev\prog” folder, and 2-channel, 4-channel, and 2-channel x2 projects are
stored in the “\yamaha\srev\proj” folder. When you copy or move any of these files to
another PC Card by using your PC, be sure to use the same folder organization and
naming, otherwise, the SREV1 will not be able to find the files.
Note that the SREV1 can only list up to 128 files in a folder, so do not put any more files
than that into a folder. If you do have more than 128 files in a folder, the SREV1 lists the
first 128 files copied to the folder in alphabetical order.

About Multiple SREV1s
Up to four SREV1s can be controlled from a single RC-SREV1.
Connections
Multiple SREV1s are connected together in a daisy-chain
fashion using the SERIAL ports shown here. Connections
between units are made using serial cables, which are avail-
able from your Yamaha dealer.
Multiple-unit Hookup with the RC-SREV1
The following example shows how up to four SREV1s can be connected together in a
daisy-chain fashion for control from an RC-SREV1. The SREV1 connected to the
RC-SREV1 is automatically assigned ID #1, and the other SREV1s are assigned IDs in
order of connection, as shown.

MIDI & the SREV1
The SREV1 supports the following MIDI messages:
• Program Changes to recall up to 12 Quick memory programs
• Control Changes for Reverb Balance and Reverb Level control
These MIDI messages are not transmitted when actions are performed on RC-SREV1.
Quick memory programs can be assigned to MIDI Program Changes and then recalled
remotely from other MIDI equipment. When a Program Change message is received,
the program stored in the assigned Quick memory is recalled. See “Assigning Quick
Memory Programs to Program Changes” on page 70 for more information.
The Reverb Balance and Reverb Level parameters for each channel can be assigned to
MIDI Control Changes and then controlled remotely from other MIDI equipment.
When a Control Change message is received, the assigned parameter is controlled. See
“Assigning Parameters to Control Changes” on page 71 for more information.
The SREV1 can be set to receive Program Change and Control Change messages on any
MIDI Channel from 1 through 16, and in 2-channel x2 mode, individual MIDI Chan-
nels can be set for A and B. See “Setting the MIDI Receive Channels” on page 69 for
more information.
MIDI Ports
The MIDI IN and OUT ports are used to transmit and
receive MIDI messages. The MIDI IN port receives
messages, while the MIDI OUT port currently echoes
the messages received at the MIDI IN port, essentially
like a MIDI THRU port.
Note: Do not control the SREV1 by using MIDI messages and the RC-SREV1 simulta-
neously.

Assigning Quick Memory Programs to Program
Changes
Quick memory programs P01 through P06 (2-channel or 4-channel mode), P01–P12
(2-channel x2 mode) can be assigned to Program Changes 1 through 128.
1 Use the [UTILITY] button to locate the MIDI page.
2 Use the cursor buttons to select the PGM CHG. parameter in the PROGRAM
CHANGE TABLE section of the page.
3 Use the DATA wheel or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to assign a Program
Change from 1 through 128 to the selected Quick memory program.
4 Use the cursor buttons to select the PROGRAM NO. parameter in the PRO-
GRAM CHANGE TABLE section of the page.
5 Use the DATA wheel or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to select a Quick mem-
ory program from P01 through P12, or “---” for no assignment.
Quick memory program number assignments P07 through P12 are active only in
2-channel x2 mode. In 2-channel and 4-channel mode, they are ignored.
When a Program Change message is received, the program stored in the assigned Quick
memory is recalled along with the necessary impulse-response data, and the program’s
number and title appear on the display, and the Edit indicator, if displayed, disappears.
The following illustration shows the type of MIDI equipment that can be used with the
SREV1 for remote Quick memory program recall using Program Change messages.

Assigning Parameters to Control Changes 71
SREV1—Owner’s Manual
Assigning Parameters to Control Changes
Reverb Balance and Reverb Level parameters for each channel can be assigned to MIDI
Control Changes 0 through 95.
1 Use the [UTILITY] button to locate the MIDI page.
2 Use the cursor buttons to select the REV BALANCE or REV LEVEL assignments
in the CONTROL CHANGE section of the page.
In 2-channel mode, these are L-CH and R-CH. In 4-channel mode, Front-L, Front-R,
Rear-L, and Rear-R. And in 2-channel x2 mode, A-L, A-R, B-L, and B-R.
3 Use the DATA wheel or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to assign a Control
Change to OFF or 0 through 95.
When a Control Change message is received, the assigned parameter is controlled. If the
Rev page is selected, you can see the parameter value update, and if the parameter is the
currently selected parameter, then the corresponding fader moves as well.
If a Control Change is assigned to more than one parameter, all the assigned parameters
are controlled when that Control Change is received.
Since Control Changes are assigned to channels individually, they are not affected by
the GROUP button on the Rev page. Even if channels are grouped, only the assigned
channel parameter is controlled when a Control Change message is received.
If a page selected by using the [PARAMETER FINE] button is displayed when a Control
Change message is received, the corresponding fader moves and the graph and param-
eter values change, causing the Edit status indicator to appear.
If a page selected by using the [PARAMETER MAIN] button is displayed when a Con-
trol Change message is received, the corresponding fader, graph, and parameter value
do not change. Only the Edit status indicator appears. To update the fader, graph, and
parameter value, select another page, then select the previous page again.
The following illustration shows the type of MIDI equipment that can be used with the
SREV1 for remote parameter control using Control Change messages.

SREV1—Owner’s Manual
Wordclocks & the SREV1
Unlike analog audio equipment, digital audio equipment must be synchronized when
digital audio signals are transferred from one device to another, otherwise, signals may
not be received correctly and audible noise, glitches, or clicks may occur. Synchroniza-
tion is achieved using what’s called a wordclock, which is a clock signal for synchronizing
all the digital audio signals in a system. Note that wordclocks are not the same as
SMPTE/EBU timecode or MIDI timecode, which are typically used to synchronize tape
machines, MIDI sequencers, and so on. Wordclock synchronization refers to the syn-
chronization of the digital audio processing circuits inside each digital audio device.
In a typical digital audio system, one device operates as the wordclock master, and the
other devices operate as wordclock slaves, synchronizing to the wordclock master.
Wordclock signals can be distributed via dedicated cables, typically BNC cables, or
derived from digital audio connections, such as AES/EBU.
If you’re connecting to the SREV1 using only analog inputs and outputs, no special
wordclock settings are required, and the SREV1 can be set to use its own internally gen-
erated wordclock. If you’re connecting other equipment digitally, however, you must
decide which device to use as the wordclock master and which devices to use as slaves.
The SREV1 can be used as a 48 kHz wordclock master, or slaved to an external word-
clock source of 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. It can receive an external wordclock signal via an
AES/EBU input, SLOT input, or the BNC WORD CLOCK IN connector.
In a system where all devices share a common wordclock, it’s important that all devices
be turned on even if they’re not being used. Turn on the wordclock master first, and
then the slaves. When shutting down the system, turn off the slaves first, and then the
master. Before use, make sure that the wordclock slaves are correctly locked to the
wordclock master. Most devices have front panel indicators, similar to the FS LOCK
indicators on the SREV1, to show when they are wordclock locked. Refer to the relevant
owner’s manuals for more information.
When the wordclock source is changed, lower the volume of your system just in case a
device becomes unlocked and outputs any unpleasant noises.
Wordclock Connections
The WORD CLOCK IN BNC connector is used to
receive wordclock signals from other digital audio
equipment. When the wordclock source is set to
WCLK IN, the SREV1 locks to the wordclock sig-
nal received at the WORD CLOCK IN connector.
See “Wordclock Hookup Examples” on page 78 for
more information.
The WORD CLOCK IN is auto-terminating.
WORD CLOCK IN
An external wordclock can
also be sourced from an
AES/EBU input or the slot
input of a digital I/O card.
Selecting the Wordclock Source 75
SREV1—Owner’s Manual
Selecting the Wordclock Source
1 Use the [UTILITY] button to locate the DIO page shown below.
2 Use the cursor buttons to select a source.
The button for the currently selected source appears highlighted.
The following wordclock sources can be selected.
This button indicates that a wordclock signal is present and that it’s at the
same frequency as the currently selected source. This source can be selected.
This button indicates that although a wordclock signal is present, it’s not at
the same frequency as the currently selected source. This source can be
selected.
This button indicates that no wordclock signal is present.
This source cannot
be selected.
The button of the selected source appears highlighted, as shown here.
Note: When the wordclock source is changed on the wordclock master device, noise may
occur from the SREV1’s outputs, especially if an MY8-AT I/O card is installed, so turn
down your power amps beforehand, otherwise any connected speakers may be damaged.

SREV1—Owner’s Manual
3 Press the [ENTER] button to activate the selected source.
The SREV1 checks the selected source to see if a usable wordclock signal is available. If
such a signal exists, the SREV1 locks to it and the corresponding FS LOCK indicator,
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, lights up.
If a usable wordclock signal is not found, the SREV1 will not operate and the FS LOCK
indicators flash, as shown in the following table. In this situation, you must select
another wordclock source or correct the external wordclock source. This condition also
occurs if a previously selected external wordclock source is disconnected, the device
supplying it is turned off, or the external wordclock is neither 48 kHz nor 44.1 kHz.
The following table shows the indicator status when the SREV1 is synced and locked to
its internal wordclock or an external source.
The following table outlines each step in the transition from wordclock unlock to lock.
If the external wordclock frequency is neither 44.1 kHz nor 48 kHz (for example, it’s
32 kHz), the transition from unlock to lock will stop at step 2 and the SREV1 outputs
will remain muted.

I/O Options & the SREV1
In addition to the two AES/EBU inputs and outputs, the SREV1 features two mini
YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface) slots for use with optional I/O cards,
which offer several analog I/O options and digital I/O interfaces in all the popular dig-
ital audio interconnect formats, including AES/EBU, ADAT, and Tascam.
The Yamaha AW4416 Audio Workstation, 01V Digital Mixing Console, D24 Digital
Multitrack Recorder, DME32 Digital Mixing Engine, AD824 AD Converter, and DA824
DA Converter also use mini YGDAI I/O cards. Note that the “CD” series of YGDAI cards
used by the Yamaha 02R Digital Recording Console and 03D Digital Mixing Console
are not interchangeable with mini YGDAI cards.
Slot inputs can be freely assigned to SREV1 channels. See “Assigning Inputs” on page
35 for more information. Channel-to-slot output assignments are fixed. See “Output
Assignments” on page 9 for more information.
Available I/O Cards
The following mini YGDAI cards are currently available. See the Yamaha Professional
Audio Web site at the following URL for up-to-date news on mini YGDAI cards:
<http://www.yamaha.co.jp/product/proaudio/homeenglish/>.
MY8-AD: 8 Analog Inputs
The MY8-AD card provides eight electronically balanced analog inputs via phone jack
connectors, with 20-bit 128-times oversampling A/D converters.
MY4-AD: 4 Analog Inputs
The MY4-AD card provides four electronically balanced analog inputs via female XLR
connectors, with 24-bit 128-times oversampling A/D converters.
MY4-DA: 4 Analog Outputs
The MY4-DA card provides four electronically balanced analog outputs via male XLR
connectors, with 20-bit 128-times oversampling D/A converters.
MY8-AT: ADAT
The MY8-AT card provides ADAT format digital I/O via two MultiChannel Optical
Digital Interface connectors, and supports 16-, 20-, and 24-bit wordlengths.
MY8-AE: AES/EBU
The MY8-AE card provides AES/EBU format digital I/O via a 25-pin D-sub connector,
and supports 16-, 20-, and 24-bit wordlengths.
MY8-TD: Tascam
The MY8-TD card provides Tascam format digital I/O via a 25-pin D-sub connector,
and supports 16-, 20-, and 24-bit wordlengths. A BNC connector is provided for word-
clock output.
MY8-TD cards feature a device selector switch (EXT: 88/INT: 38) that should be set to
match the device being connected. This should be set to “EXT: 88” when connecting a
Tascam DA-88, or “INT: 38” when connecting a Tascam DA-38 or other digital audio
device.
Choosing I/O Cards 83
SREV1—Owner’s Manual
Specifications for the currently available I/O cards are as follows.
As these specifications show, analog I/O cards offer either inputs or outputs, while dig-
ital I/O cards offer both inputs and outputs.
When an I/O card not listed above, for example, a future addition to the mini YGDAI
series, is installed, the message “UNKNOWN CARD” appears.
Choosing I/O Cards
For analog I/O with XLR-type connectors, an MY4-AD card could be installed in, say,
SLOT 1, and an MY4-DA card in SLOT 2, although it makes no difference which card
is installed in each slot.
To connect the SREV1 to other digital audio equipment, you must determine which
digital interconnect format—AES/EBU, ADAT, or Tascam—the other equipment sup-
ports, and then install the necessary I/O cards.
The following table shows which cards to use when connecting the SREV1 to other
Yamaha digital audio products. Each product can be connected by using the AES/EBU,
ADAT, or Tascam interface format.
An external wordclock can be sourced via digital I/O cards. See “Selecting the Word-
clock Source” on page 75 for more information.
Using ADAT I/O cards in certain devices can cause wordclock-lock problems, so it’s rec-
ommend that you source wordclock signals via I/O cards of another format.
See your Yamaha dealer for more information.

Installing I/O Cards
This section explains how to install mini YGDAI cards in the SREV1.
1 Turn off the SREV1.
2 Undo the two fixing screws and remove the slot cover, as shown below.
Keep the cover and fixing screws in a safe place for future use.
3 Insert the card between the guide rails and slide it all the way into the slot,
as shown below. You may have to push firmly to plug the card into the SREV1
connector.
4 Secure the card using the attached thumbscrews. Do not leave the thumb-
screws loose, as the card will not be grounded correctly.
You can check the type of I/O card installed in each slot, and assign slot inputs to chan-
nels on the DIO page. See “Assigning Inputs” on page 35 for more information.

messages do not control
parameters.
Make sure that the SREV1 is set to receive Control Change messages on the cor-
rect channel. See “Setting the MIDI Receive Channels” on page 69.
Check that the Control Change being transmitted is assigned to a parameter. See
“Assigning Parameters to Control Changes” on page 71.
Several parameters are
adjusted when a Control
Change message is
received.
If a Control Change is assigned to more than one parameter, all of those parame-
ters are adjusted when that Control Change is received. See “Assigning Parame-
ters to Control Changes” on page 71 for more information.
Noise occurs from the
outputs when the
wordclock is changed on
the wordclock master
device.
This is normal, although it’s more likely to occur if an MY8-AT I/O card is
installed. To eliminate the risk of speaker damage, turn down your power amps
beforehand.
Cannot eject a CD-ROM.
Use the emergency disc eject hole. See “SREV1 Front Panel” on page 12 for more
information.

Glossary 93
SREV1—Owner’s Manual
Glossary
2-channel mode—In this mode the SREV1 functions as a stereo processor.
4-channel mode—In this mode the SREV1 functions as a 4-channel surround pro-
cessor.
2-channel x2 mode—In this mode the SREV1 functions as two independent stereo
processors (A and B).
ADAT interconnect format—The digital audio interconnect format typically
found on ADAT-compatible digital audio equipment. Eight channels of digital audio
are carried per fiber-optic connection using Toslink connectors.
AES/EBU interconnect format—The digital audio interconnect format, estab-
lished by the AES (Audio Engineering Society) and EBU (European Broadcasting
Union), for transferring digital audio data between professional digital audio equipment.
Two channels of digital audio (left/odd and right/even) are carried per balanced line.
CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory)— The compact disc format for
data storage. Defined in the Yellow Book.
Control Change—A type of MIDI message offering real-time parameter control.
Typical Control Changes include Modulation, Volume, Pan, and Portamento.
Convolution—The digital audio process of imposing the characteristics of one signal
onto another signal. The SREV1 convolves an acoustic “fingerprint” of a previously
measured environment onto an audio signal, faithfully recreating the original reverber-
ation, with accurate reflection detail identical to that produced had the sound been
heard in that environment.
Convolution time—Convolution time is not the same as reverb time. Reverb time is
the time it takes the reverberation to decay by –60 dB, and more convolution is required
to provide reverberation down to –90 dB or –120 dB, so the convolution time must be
between 1.5 and 2 times more than the reverb time.
DIO—Abbreviation for “digital input and output.”
Drives—Programs, projects, and impulse-response data can be stored on the follow-
ing drives: Internal Card, PC Card, or CD-ROM. (The Internal Card is compact flash
memory.)
FAT16—The FAT (File Allocation Table) system, developed by Microsoft and sup-
ported by MS-DOS and most Windows operating systems, is essentially a database that
records where files are stored on hard disks and other storage media. FAT12 is the orig-
inal 12-bit version. FAT16 is the 16-bit version, since superseded by the 32-bit version,
FAT32, which supports larger storage devices.
FS—Abbreviation for “sampling frequency.”
Impulse response—The sound pressure measured at a sensor position set against
the time of an acoustic pulse “fired” from the source position. In other words, an envi-
ronment’s acoustical response.
Initial delay—The delay before the reverb reflections start.
ISO9660 Level 2—A standard format for storing files and directories on a CD-ROM.
Conforming discs can be read by Macintosh, Windows, UNIX, and other systems.
Library—The place used to load, save, title, protect, and delete programs from the
Internal Card, PC Card, and CD-ROM.
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)—The standard digital interface
for controlling electronic musical systems and audio equipment.
94 Glossary
SREV1—Owner’s Manual
mini YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface)—The second-gener-
ation YGDAI interface system used on the 01V Digital Mixing Console, D24 Digital
Multitrack Recorder, DME32 Digital Mixing Engine, and SREV1.
PC Card—A small, credit card-sized device for use with personal computers and other
electronic devices. PC Cards come in three thicknesses, the thinnest being Type I, which
is typically used for RAM or ROM memory. Type II cards, which are slightly thicker,
may contain, for example, a fax/modem, while Type III cards are thick enough to con-
tain a hard disk drive.
PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Associa-
tion)—The organization responsible for the development of the PC Card standard.
Peaking—A type of EQ circuit used to cut and boost a band of frequencies, producing
a mountain-peak type response. The width of the band is called the Q. Middle-band
EQ is usually of the peaking type. Compare with Shelving.
PEQ—Abbreviation for “parametric EQ.”
Program—Measured impulse response data is combined with variable parameters
such as reverb time and initial delay to form reverb programs. Preset programs are sup-
plied on CD-ROM. User programs can be stored in the Quick memories, Internal Card
or PC Card.
Program Change—A type of MIDI message for recalling programs.
Project—A Project contains all the Quick memory programs and the current pro-
gram settings. Projects can be stored on the Internal Card or PC Card.
Q—The unit used to express a filter’s width. High values imply a narrow frequency
band, low values, a wide frequency band.
Quick memory—Quick memories are special memories for storing programs.
Unlike programs stored on the Internal Card, PC Card, or CD-ROM, which take time
to load, Quick memory programs can be recalled instantly.
Reverb mode—The SREV1 offers three modes of operation: 2-channel, 4-channel,
and 2-channel x2. In 2-channel mode, the SREV1 functions as a stereo processor. In
4-channel mode, the SREV1 offers 4-channel surround processing. In 2-channel x2
mode, the SREV1 functions as two independent stereo processors (A and B).
Reverb time—The time it takes the reverberation to decay by –60 dB. See also Con-
volution time.
RS-232C—An interface for connecting serial devices, offering a transmission distance
of approximately 15 meters, typically using 9- or 25-pin D-Sub connectors.
RS-422—A balanced interface for connecting serial devices, offering a transmission
distance of approximately 1 kilometer, higher data rates, and greater immunity to inter-
ference than RS-232C.
Shelving—A type of EQ circuit used to cut and boost frequencies above or below a set
frequency. It produces a shelf-looking response curve. High and low EQs are usually of
the shelving type. Contrast with Peaking.
Tascam TDIF-1 interconnect format—The Tascam Digital InterFace audio inter-
connect format typically found on Tascam TDIF-1-compatible digital audio equip-
ment. TDIF-1 is a bidirectional, 8-channel format, which uses 25-pin D-sub connectors.
Wordclock—A clock signal used to synchronize the data processing circuits of devices
digital audio equipment.
YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface)—Yamaha digital audio
interface system offering a range of analog and digital input and output options for
Yamaha digital audio equipment, including AES/EBU, ADAT, and Tascam DIO.

Important Information i Important Information Read the following before using the SREV1 Warnings • Do not subject the unit to extreme temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight, or dust, which could be a potential fire or electrical shock hazard. • Do not allow water to enter the unit or allow it to get wet. Fire or electrical shock may result. • Connect the power cord or AC adapter only to an AC outlet of the type stated in this Owner’s Manual or as marked on the unit. Failure to do so is a fire and electrical shock hazard. • Hold the power-cord plug or AC adapter when disconnecting from an AC outlet. Never pull the cord. A power cord damaged through pulling is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard. • Do not touch the power plug or AC adapter with wet hands. Doing so is a potential electrical shock hazard. • Do not place heavy objects, including the unit, on top of the power cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard. In particular, be careful not to place heavy objects on a power cord covered by a carpet. • Do not place a container with liquid or small metal objects on top of this unit. Liquid or metal objects inside this unit are a fire and electrical shock hazard. • Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard. • If the power cord is damaged (e.g., cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the unit with a damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard. • Do not plug several pieces of equipment into the same AC outlet. This may overload the AC outlet, and could be a fire or electrical shock hazard. It may also affect the performance of some equipment. • If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor, or noise, or if a foreign object or liquid gets inside the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord or AC adapter from the AC outlet and consult your dealer for repair. Using a unit in this condition is a fire and electrical shock hazard. • Do not place small objects on top of the unit. Metal objects falling inside is a fire and electrical shock hazard. • If a foreign object or water gets inside the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord or AC adapter from the AC outlet and consult your dealer for repair. Using a unit in this condition is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard. • If the unit is dropped or the cabinet damaged, turn off the power, remove the power plug or AC adapter from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer. If you continue using the unit without heeding this instruction, fire or electrical shock may result. • Do not remove the unit covers. You could receive an electrical shock. If you think internal inspection, maintenance, or repair is necessary, contact your dealer. • Do not attempt to modify the unit. This is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard. SREV1—Owner’s Manual ii Important Information • Do not block the front panel air inlet, ventilation slots, or fan outlets. Doing so is a potential fire hazard. Cautions • Allow enough free space around the SREV1 for normal ventilation. This should be 20 cm behind, 10 cm at the sides, and 30 cm above. These distances should also be adopted when rack-mounting the SREV1. If the SREV1 is mounted in a portable rack case, keep the rear of the case open when using the SREV1 so as not to obstruct the flow of air from the two cooling fans. If the airflow is not adequate, the SREV1 will heat up inside and may cause a fire. Do not mount the SREV1 above equipment that produces a lot of heat, such as a power amplifier. • Turn off all audio equipment when connecting to the unit, and use only cables of the type specified in this Owner’s Manual. • If you plan not to use the unit for a long period of time, remove the power cord or AC adapter from the AC outlet. Leaving the unit connected is a potential fire hazard. • Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth to clean the unit. Use only a soft, dry cloth. • If the unit is stored in a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car), and then moved to a warmer environment, or if the temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside the unit, which may affect performance. In this case, the unit should be allowed to acclimatize for about one hour before use. • When the wordclock is changed on the wordclock master device, noise may occur from the SREV1’s outputs, especially if an MY8-AT I/O card is installed, so turn down your power amps beforehand, otherwise any connected speakers may be damaged. • If the RC-SREV1 displays the message “LOW BATTERY” when you turn on the unit, ask your Yamaha dealer to replace the internal battery as soon as possible. The unit will still work, but data other than backed up data will be lost. We recommend that you save this data to a PC Card before replacing the battery. • For electrical safety reasons, it’s important that the SREV1 is grounded properly. The supplied power cord has a three-pin plug, and if the ground terminal of the AC outlet is grounded, then the SREV1 will be grounded sufficiently through the power cord. If the AC outlet does not provide a suitable ground, however, a ground connection should be made to the dedicated grounding screw. SREV1—Owner’s Manual Important Information iii Handling CD-ROMs • Use only discs of the type specified in this Owner’s Manual. • The CD-ROM drive is for use with data discs only. Never insert audio CDs. • Store discs in a place free from extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, and dirt. • Always store discs in their cases. • When handling discs, be careful not to touch the surface. Hold discs by the edge. Fingerprints, smudges, scratches, or dirt can affect performance. • Be careful not to scratch the labeled side of the disc. Even scratches on that side can affect performance. • Fingerprints and dust should be removed by wiping gently from the center of the disc towards the disc edge, using a soft, dry cloth. Never wipe in a circular motion and never rub a disc hard with a dry cloth. • For stubborn stains and dirt, use a cleaning kit designed specifically for use with CDs. Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth. • For disc marking, use only pens specifically designed for writing on CDs and write only on the designated area. Do not attach a label to a disc. • If a disc is stored in a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car), and then moved to a warmer environment, or if the temperature rises sharply, condensation may form on the disc surface, which may affect performance. In this case, the disc should be allowed to acclimatize for about one hour before use. • Do not under any circumstances attempt to use discs that are cracked or warped. Doing so may seriously damage the unit. Handling PC Cards • Use only PC Cards of the type specified in this Owner’s Manual. • Some PC Cards and PC Card adapters cannot be used with the SREV1. • Do not eject a PC Card while the activity indicator is lit. Doing so may cause data lose. • Store PC Cards in a place free from extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, and dirt. • Always store PC Cards in their cases. Precautions for Transportation During transportation, keep the CD-ROM door shut with tape, or a pad, or the like. • When using tape, use tape that adheres well to the front panel. • When using a pad, use a pad stiff enough that the elasticity holds the tray in place. Front panel Pad Tape CD-ROM door SREV1—Owner’s Manual iv Important Information Interference The SREV1 uses high-frequency digital circuits that may cause interference on radio and television equipment located nearby. If interference is a problem, relocate the affected equipment.

Unlike conventional digital reverberators, which synthesize reverberation using contrived signal-processing algorithms, the new SREV1 Sampling Reverberator from Yamaha employs digital convolution processing to impose an acoustic “fingerprint” of a previously measured environment onto any audio signal, faithfully recreating the original reverberation, with accurate reflection detail identical to that produced had the sound been heard in that environment. The SREV1 is perfect for recording studios, audio post, broadcast, concert halls, theaters, or anyone looking for superb quality reverb that sounds just like the real thing, with the option to sample the reverberation characteristics of any location for use back in the studio. The SREV1 in a Nutshell Sonic “fingerprints” are produced by measuring the impulse response (i.e., acoustic characteristics) of an environment, which involves “blasting out” time-stretched pulses through an accurate speaker system and recording the results via carefully placed microphones. The resultant impulse-response data can then be used by the SREV1 to convolve the captured acoustic characteristics onto any audio signal.

Alternatively, the SREV1 can be configured as two fully independent reverberators (2-channel x2 mode), each with its own inputs, outputs, and program settings. Thirty-two of Yamaha’s new convolution chips provide the necessary “horsepower” for real-time convolution of up to 5.46 seconds per channel (2-channel mode), 2.73 seconds per channel (4-channel or 2-channel x2 mode). Featuring an additional 32 convolution chips, the optional DB-SREV1 DSP Expansion Board doubles the available convolution time to a maximum of 10.92 seconds per channel (2-channel mode), 5.46 seconds per channel (4-channel or 2-channel x2 mode). Measured impulse response data is combined with variable parameters such as reverb time and initial delay to form reverb programs, which can be stored in special Quick SREV1—Owner’s Manual The SREV1 in a Nutshell 3 memories or the Internal Card or PC Card. Up to six programs can be stored in Quick memory in 2-channel or 4-channel mode; 12 in 2-channel x2 mode. Programs in Quick memory can be recalled instantly via the optional RC-SREV1 Remote Controller or MIDI Program Changes. Projects, which contain all the Quick memory programs and the current program settings, provide a convenient way to manage programs and settings for each job. Projects can be stored on the Internal Card or PC Card. The PC Card slot is fully compatible with the PC Card ATA specification and supports the FAT16 file system. The CD-ROM drive supports the ISO9660 Level 2 format. Both the PC Card and CD-ROM format is compatible with Windows. The supplied CD-ROM contains preset reverb programs of famous venues from around the world, and a CD-ROM library is planned for future release. The preset programs on the supplied CD-ROM are loaded into the Internal Card at the factory. Program editing is handled at two levels: Main parameters and Fine parameters. With Main parameter editing, channel parameters, such as reverb time, initial delay, reverb balance, EQ, etc., are grouped, so that, for example, the reverb time of all channels can be set simultaneously. Fine parameter editing adds pre-convolution 4-band PEQ, post-convolution 4-band PEQ, and impulse-response data loading. Reverb parameters can be edited individually or grouped. Reverb balance and reverb level parameters for each channel can be controlled individually via MIDI Control Changes. Two AES/EBU inputs and outputs (providing 4 channels) are built in and two mini YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface) slots offer various analog and digital I/O options (AES/EBU, ADAT, Tascam). Inputs can be assigned to channels individually, allowing various input/output configurations. In 2-channel mode, for example, a single input can be assigned to both channels (left and right) for mono in/stereo out operation, or an individual input can be assigned to each channel for true stereo in/stereo out operation. Superb sonic performance is provided by Yamaha’s new convolution chip, 24-bit I/O, 32-bit internal signal processing, and 48 kHz internal wordclock. External wordclocks of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz are supported and can be sourced via the dedicated BNC wordclock input, AES/EBU inputs, or card slot inputs. Up to four SREV1s can be controlled using the optional RC-SREV1 Remote Controller, which features a large 320 x 240 dot graphical display, with fluorescent backlight and adjustable brightness and contrast, four motorized faders for parameter editing, and input and output clip indicators. Power is supplied by the SREV1.

In 2-channel mode, the SREV1 functions as a stereo reverb processor. Use this mode if all you require is stereo outputs, as it offers the maximum convolution time per channel. In 4-channel mode, the SREV1 offers 4-channel processing for surround reverb. In 2-channel x2 mode, the SREV1 functions as two independent stereo reverb processors (A and B). See page 34 for information on selecting Reverb modes. The onboard AES/EBU inputs and mini YGDAI slot inputs can be freely assigned to channels. See “Assigning Inputs” on page 35 for more information. Convolution Times The following table shows the maximum convolution time available per channel for each mode with and without the optional DB-SREV1 DSP Expansion Board installed. Maximum Convolution Time per Channel (Fs = 48 kHz) Mode Base System with DSP Expansion Board (DB-SREV1) 2-channel 5.46 sec 10.92 sec 4-channel 2.73 sec 5.46 sec 2-channel x2 2.73 sec 5.46 sec Convolution time is not the same as reverb time. Reverb time is the time it takes the reverb to decay to –60 dB, and more convolution is required to provide reverberation to –90 dB or –120 dB, so the convolution time must be between 1.5 and 2 times more than the reverb time. Impulse-Response Data Impulse-response data contains the impulse-response information (i.e., acoustic characteristics) of a measured environment. Preset programs come with their own impulse-response data. Each channel of a program is assigned impulse-response data, as shown below, and data can be loaded for channels individually on the Data Load pages. See “Loading Impulse-Response Data” on page 61 for more information. The impulse-response data for the preset programs is loaded into the Internal Card at the factory. It’s also on the supplied CD-ROM. 2-channel mode 4-channel mode Left Front-left A-left Right Front-right A-right Rear-left B-left Rear-right B-right 2-channel program 4-channel program SREV1—Owner’s Manual 2-channel x2 mode 2-channel program x2 SREV1 Basics 7 Programs There are two types of reverb program: 2-channel and 4-channel. Two-channel programs are for use with 2-channel mode and 2-channel x2 mode, while 4-channel programs are for use only with 4-channel mode. In 2-channel mode, 4-channel programs do not appear in the program lists and vice versa. The preset programs on the supplied CD-ROM are loaded into the Internal Card at the factory. User programs can be stored in the Quick memories, Internal Card or PC Card, where they can be write-protected. Projects Projects contain all the Quick memory programs and the current program settings and free you to leave a project and come back to it at any time. Projects can be saved to the Internal Card or PC Card, where they can be write-protected. There are three types of project: 2-channel, 4-channel, and 2-channel x2. Each project type is available only when the corresponding mode is selected. You can’t, for example, select a 2-channel project in 4-channel mode. Projects are managed on the Project pages. See “Working with Projects” on page 48 for more information. Quick Memories Quick memories are special memories for storing programs. Unlike programs on the Internal Card, PC Cards, and CD-ROMs, which take time to load, Quick memory programs can be recalled instantly. There are six Quick memories available in 2-channel or 4-channel mode; 12 in 2-channel x2 mode. Quick memories are managed on the Program pages. See “Working with Quick Memories” on page 42 for more information. SREV1—Owner’s Manual 8 Chapter 1—Welcome Drives Programs, projects, and impulse-response data can be loaded from the following drives: Internal Card, PC Card, or CD-ROM. The number of programs that can be stored on each drive depends on its capacity and the size of the associated impulse-response data. Programs and drives are managed on the Library pages. See “Working with the Library” on page 45 for more information. The following diagram shows how programs and projects can be transferred to and from the drives and Quick memories, and impulse-response data transferred from the drives.

Connect the socket-end of the supplied power cord to the AC IN socket on the rear panel of the SREV1. Connect the plug-end to a suitable AC wall outlet, one that conforms to the power supply requirements stated on the SREV1 rear panel. Turning On & Off the SREV1 To prevent loud clicks and thumps in your speakers, turn on your audio equipment in the following order (reverse this order when turning off)—sound sources, SREV1, RC-SREV1, recorder, mixer, monitoring power amplifiers. 1 POWER To turn on the SREV1, press the [POWER] switch. The POWER indicator lights up. ON See “SREV1 Startup” on page 32 and “About the Internal Operations at Startup” on page 33 for more information. 2 OFF To turn off the SREV1, press the [POWER] switch again. The POWER indicator goes out. Turning On & Off the RC-SREV1 Note: In general, set the RC-SREV1 POWER switch to the ON position and use the SREV1 POWER switch to turn on and off the system. When using a custom-made remote cable, and an optional AC adapter, if the RC-SREV1 is turned on before the SREV1, the SREV1 must be turned on within 50 seconds. During this time the message “COULD NOT COMMUNICATE WITH SREV1. CHECK THE CABLE CONNECTION AND SREV1’S POWER. THEN TURN ON RC-SREV1 AGAIN.” appears. Therefore, turn on the RC-SREV1 after the SREV1. 1 To turn on the RC-SREV1, set its [POWER] switch to the ON position. POWER The startup screen appears, and after communication is established between the SREV1 and RC-SREV1, the Program page appears. See “RC-SREV1 Startup” on page 32 for more information. 2 To turn off the RC-SREV1, set its [POWER] switch to the OFF position. The RC-SREV1 receives its power from the SREV1 via the remote cable, so if it doesn’t come on, make sure that the remote cable is connected properly and that the SREV1 is turned on. SREV1—Owner’s Manual ON OFF 27 Using an Optional RC-SREV1 AC Adapter Using an Optional RC-SREV1 AC Adapter The remote cable, which carries power from the SREV1 to the RC-SREV1, is 20 meters in length. Since the power loss in longer cables would be too great, an optional Yamaha PA-6 AC power supply adapter (12 V DC) is required to power the RC-SREV1 when using remote cables over 20 meters in length. A wiring diagram for making custom remote cables is available on page 91. See your Yamaha dealer for more information. The optional Yamaha PA-6 AC power supply adapter should be connected to the DC 12V IN connector on the rear of the RC-SREV1. DC 12V IN Loop the AC adapter cable around cable clip, shown here, to prevent accidental disconnection. IN DC 12V Warning: Use only the Yamaha PA-6 AC power supply adapter with the RC-SREV1. Using any other AC adapter may cause a fault, leading to a buildup of heat, fire, or an electrical shock hazard. POWER DC 12V IN REMOTE LCD BRIGHT ON CONT OFF Adjusting the RC-SREV1 Brightness & Contrast Both the brightness and contrast of the RC-SREV1 display can be adjusted to suit your working environment or personal preference. 1 LCD BRIGHT CONT Use the CONT control to set the display contrast. Contrast adjusts the balance between pixels that are on and those that are off. 2 Use the BRIGHT control to set the display brightness. Brightness adjusts the strength of the display’s backlight. SREV1—Owner’s Manual 28 Chapter 3—Getting Started Using CD-ROMs The SREV1 can load programs, projects, and impulse-response data files stored on ISO9660 Level 2 format CD-ROMs, which are also supported by Windows. CD-ROM Inserting & Ejecting CD-ROMs CD-ROMs can only be inserted and ejected while the SREV1 is turned on. 1 Press the CD-ROM eject button, and when the disc tray appears, pull it out. 2 With the labeled-side facing up, carefully fit the disc onto the central spindle. (The disc sits flat when it’s in correctly.) 3 Push the disc tray fully into the SREV1 to close it. When a CD-ROM is being read, the activity indicator lights up. The SREV1 takes between 20 and 30 seconds to recognize a CD-ROM after it’s inserted. 4 To eject a CD-ROM, press the eject button. 5 When the disc tray appears, pull it out, remove the disc, and then push the tray back into the SREV1 in order to close it. Always store CD-ROMs in their cases. SREV1—Owner’s Manual Using PC Cards 29 Using PC Cards PC ATA CARD FLASH CARD MEMORY CARD The SREV1 can store programs, projects, and impulse-response data on standard PC Cards (PCMCIA). The SREV1 supports the PC Card ATA specification and the FAT16 file system, which is also supported by Windows. Use PCMCIA flash ATA cards (Type II) or CompactFlash cards with a PC Card adapter. Inserting & Ejecting PC Cards 1 Insert the PC Card face up into the MEMORY CARD slot and push it in all the way. (The eject button sticks out all the way when the card is fully inserted.) The PC Card should be recognized and available for use in a few seconds. Although rare, in some cases the PC Card may not be recognized. If this happens, try reinserting the card. If it’s not recognized after several tries, contact your Yamaha dealer. When a card is being written or read, the activity indicator lights up. Do not eject the card, or turn off the power while this indicator is lit. 2 To eject a card, make sure that the activity indicator is not lit, and then press the eject button. The card ejects. 3 Remove the card from the slot. When using a compact card with an adapter, pull the adapter to remove the card from the slot. Pulling only the card may damage it. The speed at which data can be written and read on a PC Card depends on its type. Always store PC Cards in their cases. SREV1—Owner’s Manual Basic Operation 31 Basic Operation 4 In this chapter...

During this time, the SREV1 loads impulse-response data for the current program and the programs in Quick memory from the Internal Card, and, if necessary, from the PC Card or CD-ROM. At this time, the SREV1 cannot be used. After about 30 seconds, when the necessary impulse-response data has been loaded, the CLIP and SIGNAL indicators go out and the SREV1 is ready for use. Note that the startup time will be different if the current program or the programs in Quick memory are on PC Card or CD-ROM. If the SREV1 does not output any sound, check your audio connections, and the input assignments. See “Assigning Inputs” on page 35 for more information. RC-SREV1 Startup In Principle, the RC-SREV1 should be started up after the SREV1 has completed its startup. However, when the RC-SREV1 is connected to one SREV1 using the supplied remote cable, and that SREV1 is supplying power to the RC-SREV1, so long as the RC-SREV1 POWER switch is set to the ON position, the RC-SREV1 will be turned on at the same time as the SREV1 is turned on, and the RC-SREV1 will startup normally. If, however, you are using multiple SREV1s, connected together using serial cables, make sure that all SREV1s have completed startup before turning on the RC-SREV1. When the RC-SREV1 is turned on, startup screen 1 appears for one second. Then startup screen 2 appears with an animated waveform moving from left to right. During this time, the RC-SREV1 receives necessary operating information from the SREV1 via the serial cable. When all the information has been received, the Program page appears. When the RC-SREV1 is turned on after the SREV1 has completed its startup, the above procedure takes 15 seconds. When the RC-SREV1 is turned on at the same time as the SREV1, it takes 45 seconds to start up, although the actual time will depend on the time it takes the SREV1 to start up. If there is no animation on startup screen 2, there may be a communication error between the SREV1 and RC-SREV1. In this case, turn off both units and check the remote cable connections, also check for breaks in the cable. Startup screen 1 SREV1—Owner’s Manual Startup screen 2 About the Internal Operations at Startup 33 About the Internal Operations at Startup During startup, the SREV1 loads the necessary programs into the current and Quick program memories in order to restore the SREV1 to the same state it was in before it was last turned off. If any of these programs were previously loaded from a PC Card or CD-ROM and then stored to a Quick memory, the same PC Card or CD-ROM will be required to restore the contents of the Quick memories. In this case, be sure to insert the necessary PC Card or CD-ROM before starting the SREV1. Although the SREV1’s battery-backed memory stores the titles of the current and Quick memory programs, it does not store the actual program or impulse-response data, so this must be loaded each time the SREV1 is started. If a necessary PC Card or CD-ROM is not inserted, the message “DATA FILE NOT FOUND! INSERT PCMCIA CARD” or “DATA FILE NOT FOUND! INSERT CD-ROM DISC” appears once the RC-SREV1 has completed startup. In this case, insert the necessary PC Card or CD-ROM and try loading again. Note that the above information regarding necessary PC Cards and CD-ROMs also applies to changing the Reverb mode and loading projects. SREV1—Owner’s Manual 34 Chapter 4—Basic Operation Selecting Reverb Modes This section explains how to select the 2-channel, 4-channel, and 2-channel x2 Reverb modes. See page 6 for more information about each mode. 1 Use the [UTILITY] button to locate the Setup page shown below. Reverb mode 2 Use the cursor buttons to select the 2CH, 4CH, or 2CHX2 button in the REV MODE section of the page. 3 Press the [ENTER] button. A confirmation message appears. 4 Select YES to continue, or select NO to cancel the operation. 5 Press the [ENTER] button. While the SREV1 switches to the selected Reverb mode, the RC-SREV1 displays the message “SETTING REV MODE...” and the SREV1 INPUT and OUTPUT signal indicators light up in sequence. Note: Do not insert or eject a PC Card or CD-ROM while the SREV1 is changing Reverb modes. Once the mode has been set, the mode title appears in the Reverb mode section of the display, the Program page is selected, and the cursor appears at the same position it does when the power is turned on. The SREV1 switches to the selected mode, the mode title appears in the Reverb mode section of the display, and the Program page is selected. The SREV1 stores all program parameters when the mode is changed, so when you return to a mode, the previous settings are restored. SREV1—Owner’s Manual Assigning Inputs 35 Assigning Inputs This section explains how to assign the AES/EBU inputs and slot inputs to channels. When a four input I/O card, such as the MY4-AD, is installed, only the first four inputs of that slot are available. 1 Use the [UTILITY] button to locate the DIO page. 2-ch mode 4-ch mode 2-ch x2 mode 2 Use the cursor buttons to select the dots in the INPUT SELECT section of the page. A dotted circle indicates that an input is assignable; two dots indicate that an input is unavailable. 3 Press the [ENTER] button to assign an input to a channel. The input is assigned to the channel and the dotted circle changes to a solid dot. SREV1—Owner’s Manual 36 Chapter 4—Basic Operation Setting Input & Output Levels Input and output signal levels can be set on two different pages: Main 2 page or Meter I/O page. On the Main 2 page, levels are adjusted for all channels simultaneously as a group, while on the Meter I/O page, they can be adjusted for each channel individually. This section explains how to adjust input and output levels on the Meter I/O page. See page 54 for information on the Main 2 page. 1 Use the [UTILITY] button to locate the Meter I/O page. 2-ch mode 4-ch mode 2-ch x2 mode 2 Use the cursor buttons to select the INPUT LEVEL and OUTPUT LEVEL parameters for each channel. 3 Use the faders to set the levels. The DATA wheel or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons can also be used to set levels in 0.1 dB steps. The input and output levels can be set from –∞, –72.0 dB to +6.0 dB in steps of 0.1 dB. SREV1—Owner’s Manual Metering 37 Metering Input and output signal levels can be metered in several places: the 14-segment meters on the RC-SREV1 display pages, the 11-segment meters on the Meter I/O page, the SIGNAL and CLIP indicators on the SREV1, and the CLIP indicators on the RC-SREV1. The Peak Hold function works with all of these meters. See “Using Peak Hold” on page 39 for more information. 14-segment Meters Input and output signal levels can be metered by using the 14-segment meters that appear on most RC-SREV1 display pages. In 2-channel mode, input and output signal levels can be metered simultaneously. In 4-channel or 2-channel x2 mode, however, either the input or output levels can be metered, not both simultaneously. See “Setting the Meter Mode” on page 39 for more information. The 14-segment LCD meters have the following resolution: CLIP / –3dB / –6dB / –9dB / –12dB / –15dB / –18dB / –24dB / –30dB / –36dB / –42dB / –48dB / –54dB / –60dB.

In 2-channel x2 mode, two Main 1 pages are available: Main1-A and Main1-B. Channels are grouped, so adjusting, say, the Reverb Time parameter, adjusts the reverb time of all channels simultaneously. In 2-channel x2 mode, A and B parameters are grouped independently. These parameters can be adjusted for each channel individually on the Fine parameter pages. See page 56 and page 57 for more information. The graphs and parameter values of only one channel are displayed at a time. You can choose which channel by using the buttons in the DISPLAY CHANNEL section of the page. Below that section is the REV graph, which displays the reverb parameter settings graphically, and the PRE-EQ graph, which displays the Pre EQ settings graphically. If the EQ is turned off on the Pre EQ page (see page 57), the EQ graph appears shaded. The Main 1 pages for each mode are shown below. 2-ch mode 4-ch mode 2-ch x2 mode—A 2-ch x2 mode—B 1 Use the [PARAMETER MAIN] button to locate the Main 1 page. 2 Use the cursor buttons to select a channel button in the DISPLAY CHANNEL section, and then press the [ENTER] button to make it the active display channel. The button of the active display channel appears highlighted. 3 Use the cursor buttons to select the REV TIME, INITIAL DELAY, LOW-EQ, or HIGH-EQ parameter. 4 Use the faders, DATA wheel, or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to adjust the selected parameter. SREV1—Owner’s Manual Main 1 Parameters 53 Note that since adjustments to the REV TIME parameter do not take effect immediately, there is a small delay between adjusting the reverb time by using, for example, a fader and the new reverb time being applied. The parameter ranges are as follows. Parameter Range Steps Description REV TIME 0.3–1 0.1 sec Reverb time INITIAL DELAY 0.1–500.0 ms 0.1 ms Initial delay time LOW-EQ –18.0 dB to +18.0 dB 0.1 dB Pre EQ low gain HIGH-EQ –18.0 dB to +18.0 dB 0.1 dB Pre EQ high gain 1. Actual maximum reverb time depends on the impulse-response data. The following waveforms show the reverb produced by a snare drum with reverb times of 500 milliseconds and 2.0 seconds. Initial delay is 0.1 milliseconds; reverb balance is 100%. The third waveform shows how reflections can be delayed by using the Initial Delay parameter. Here the reverb time is 2.0 seconds; initial delay is 200 ms (exaggerated for illustration clarity); and the reverb balance is 50%. Amplitude Reverb time: 500 ms Initial delay: 0.1 ms Reverb balance: 100% Time Amplitude Reverb time: 2.0 sec Initial delay: 0.1 ms Reverb balance: 100% Time Direct signal Amplitude Reflections Reverb time: 2.0 sec Initial delay: 200 ms Reverb balance: 50% Initial delay Time SREV1—Owner’s Manual 54 Chapter 5—Editing Programs Main 2 Parameters Basic parameters, including Reverb Balance, Input Level, Output Level, and Pre EQ HPF frequency, can be adjusted on the Main 2 pages. In 2-channel x2 mode, two Main 2 pages are available: Main2-A and Main2-B. Channels are grouped, so adjusting, say, the Reverb Balance parameter, adjusts the reverb balance of all channels simultaneously. In 2-channel x2 mode, A and B parameters are grouped independently. These parameters can be adjusted for each channel individually on the Fine parameter pages. See page 56 and page 57 for more information. The graphs and parameter values of only one channel are displayed at a time. You can choose which channel by using the buttons in the DISPLAY CHANNEL section of the page. Below that section is the REV graph, which displays the reverb parameter settings graphically, and the PRE-EQ graph, which displays the Pre EQ settings graphically. If the EQ is turned off on the Pre EQ page (see page 57), the EQ graph appears shaded. Likewise, if the HPF filter type parameter is set to THRU on the Pre EQ page, that also appears shaded. The Main 2 pages for each mode are shown below. 2-ch mode 4-ch mode 2-ch x2 mode—A 2-ch x2 mode—B 1 Use the [PARAMETER MAIN] button to locate the Main 2 page. 2 Use the cursor buttons to select a channel button in the DISPLAY CHANNEL section, and then press the [ENTER] button to make it the active display channel. The button of the active display channel appears highlighted. 3 Use the cursor buttons to select the REV BALANCE, INPUT LEVEL, OUTPUT LEVEL, or HPF parameter. 4 Use the faders, DATA wheel, or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to adjust the selected parameter. SREV1—Owner’s Manual Main 2 Parameters 55 The parameter ranges are as follows. Parameter Range Steps Description REV BALANCE 0–100% 1% Balance between reverb and dry signals. 0% = all dry, 100% = all reverb.

In addition to numeric values, settings are displayed graphically. The Rev pages for each mode are shown below. 2-ch mode 4-ch mode 2-ch x2 mode 1 Use the [PARAMETER FINE] button to locate the Rev page. Use the ON/OFF button in the GROUP section to group and ungroup the channels. When set to ON, all channels are adjusted simultaneously. When set to OFF, channels can be adjusted individually. 2 Use the cursor buttons to select the REV TIME, INITIAL DELAY, REV BALANCE, or REV LEVEL parameter. 3 Use the faders, DATA wheel, or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to adjust the selected parameter. Note that since adjustments to the REV TIME parameter do not take effect immediately, there is a small delay between adjusting the reverb time by using, for example, a fader and the new reverb time being applied, especially when channels are grouped. The parameter ranges are as follows. Parameter Range Steps Description REV TIME 0.3–1 0.1 sec Reverb time INITIAL DELAY 0.1–500.0 ms 0.1 ms Delay before reverb starts REV BALANCE 0–100% 1% Balance between reverb and dry signals. 0% = all dry, 100% = all reverb. REV LEVEL –∞, –72 dB to +6.0 dB 0.1 dB Reverb level 1. Actual maximum reverb time depends on the impulse-response data. SREV1—Owner’s Manual Pre EQ 57 Pre EQ The pre-convolution EQ consists of a variable frequency HPF and fully parametric 3-band EQ. Parameters can be adjusted for each channel individually on the Pre EQ pages. In 4-channel mode, two Pre EQ pages are available: Pre EQ Front and Pre EQ Rear. Likewise, in 2-channel x2 mode, with Pre EQ-A and Pre EQ-B pages. In addition to numeric values, EQ settings are displayed graphically. Inactive parameters appear shaded.

The selected impulse-response data is loaded. 6 To return to the Rev page, select the BACK button, and then press [ENTER]. The Rev page appears. SREV1—Owner’s Manual 62 Chapter 5—Editing Programs Impulse-response data (TM4 format) created by using IRSampler, the impulse-response sampling software, or IREdit, the impulse-response editing software, can be loaded into the SREV1 from a PC Card. The RC-SREV1 looks for impulse-response data stored in the “\yamaha\srev\data” folder of the PC Card, so you need to make a new folder called “data” in “x:\yamaha\srev\” and then copy your impulse-response data into it. (Note that “x” refers to the letter assigned to your PC Card while it’s inserted in your PC.) The 2-channel (SP2) and 4-channel (SP4) programs that you create are stored in the “\yamaha\srev\prog” folder, and 2-channel, 4-channel, and 2-channel x2 projects are stored in the “\yamaha\srev\proj” folder. When you copy or move any of these files to another PC Card by using your PC, be sure to use the same folder organization and naming, otherwise, the SREV1 will not be able to find the files. Note that the SREV1 can only list up to 128 files in a folder, so do not put any more files than that into a folder. If you do have more than 128 files in a folder, the SREV1 lists the first 128 files copied to the folder in alphabetical order.

Quick memory programs can be assigned to MIDI Program Changes and then recalled remotely from other MIDI equipment. When a Program Change message is received, the program stored in the assigned Quick memory is recalled. See “Assigning Quick Memory Programs to Program Changes” on page 70 for more information. The Reverb Balance and Reverb Level parameters for each channel can be assigned to MIDI Control Changes and then controlled remotely from other MIDI equipment. When a Control Change message is received, the assigned parameter is controlled. See “Assigning Parameters to Control Changes” on page 71 for more information. The SREV1 can be set to receive Program Change and Control Change messages on any MIDI Channel from 1 through 16, and in 2-channel x2 mode, individual MIDI Channels can be set for A and B. See “Setting the MIDI Receive Channels” on page 69 for more information. Note: Do not control the SREV1 by using MIDI messages and the RC-SREV1 simultaneously. MIDI Ports The MIDI IN and OUT ports are used to transmit and receive MIDI messages. The MIDI IN port receives messages, while the MIDI OUT port currently echoes the messages received at the MIDI IN port, essentially like a MIDI THRU port. SREV1—Owner’s Manual OUT MIDI IN MIDI Pages 69 MIDI Pages MIDI settings are made on the MIDI pages shown below. 2-ch mode 4-ch mode 2-ch x2 mode Setting the MIDI Receive Channels The MIDI Channel used to receive MIDI Program Change and Control Change messages is set on the MIDI page. There are two MIDI Channel settings in 2-channel x2 mode, one for A and one for B. 1 Use the [UTILITY] button to locate the MIDI page. 2 Use the cursor buttons to select the CH parameter in the MIDI RECEIVE CHANNEL section of the page. 3 Use the DATA wheel or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to select a MIDI Channel from 1 through 16 or OFF. When OFF is selected, the SREV1 ignores received MIDI messages. SREV1—Owner’s Manual 70 Chapter 7—MIDI Assigning Quick Memory Programs to Program Changes Quick memory programs P01 through P06 (2-channel or 4-channel mode), P01–P12 (2-channel x2 mode) can be assigned to Program Changes 1 through 128. 1 Use the [UTILITY] button to locate the MIDI page. 2 Use the cursor buttons to select the PGM CHG. parameter in the PROGRAM CHANGE TABLE section of the page. 3 Use the DATA wheel or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to assign a Program Change from 1 through 128 to the selected Quick memory program. 4 Use the cursor buttons to select the PROGRAM NO. parameter in the PROGRAM CHANGE TABLE section of the page. 5 Use the DATA wheel or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to select a Quick memory program from P01 through P12, or “---” for no assignment. Quick memory program number assignments P07 through P12 are active only in 2-channel x2 mode. In 2-channel and 4-channel mode, they are ignored. When a Program Change message is received, the program stored in the assigned Quick memory is recalled along with the necessary impulse-response data, and the program’s number and title appear on the display, and the Edit indicator, if displayed, disappears. The following illustration shows the type of MIDI equipment that can be used with the SREV1 for remote Quick memory program recall using Program Change messages.

In 2-channel mode, these are L-CH and R-CH. In 4-channel mode, Front-L, Front-R, Rear-L, and Rear-R. And in 2-channel x2 mode, A-L, A-R, B-L, and B-R. 3 Use the DATA wheel or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to assign a Control Change to OFF or 0 through 95. When a Control Change message is received, the assigned parameter is controlled. If the Rev page is selected, you can see the parameter value update, and if the parameter is the currently selected parameter, then the corresponding fader moves as well. If a Control Change is assigned to more than one parameter, all the assigned parameters are controlled when that Control Change is received. Since Control Changes are assigned to channels individually, they are not affected by the GROUP button on the Rev page. Even if channels are grouped, only the assigned channel parameter is controlled when a Control Change message is received. If a page selected by using the [PARAMETER FINE] button is displayed when a Control Change message is received, the corresponding fader moves and the graph and parameter values change, causing the Edit status indicator to appear. If a page selected by using the [PARAMETER MAIN] button is displayed when a Control Change message is received, the corresponding fader, graph, and parameter value do not change. Only the Edit status indicator appears. To update the fader, graph, and parameter value, select another page, then select the previous page again.

Synchronization is achieved using what’s called a wordclock, which is a clock signal for synchronizing all the digital audio signals in a system. Note that wordclocks are not the same as SMPTE/EBU timecode or MIDI timecode, which are typically used to synchronize tape machines, MIDI sequencers, and so on. Wordclock synchronization refers to the synchronization of the digital audio processing circuits inside each digital audio device. In a typical digital audio system, one device operates as the wordclock master, and the other devices operate as wordclock slaves, synchronizing to the wordclock master. Wordclock signals can be distributed via dedicated cables, typically BNC cables, or derived from digital audio connections, such as AES/EBU. If you’re connecting to the SREV1 using only analog inputs and outputs, no special wordclock settings are required, and the SREV1 can be set to use its own internally generated wordclock. If you’re connecting other equipment digitally, however, you must decide which device to use as the wordclock master and which devices to use as slaves. The SREV1 can be used as a 48 kHz wordclock master, or slaved to an external wordclock source of 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. It can receive an external wordclock signal via an AES/EBU input, SLOT input, or the BNC WORD CLOCK IN connector. In a system where all devices share a common wordclock, it’s important that all devices be turned on even if they’re not being used. Turn on the wordclock master first, and then the slaves. When shutting down the system, turn off the slaves first, and then the master. Before use, make sure that the wordclock slaves are correctly locked to the wordclock master. Most devices have front panel indicators, similar to the FS LOCK indicators on the SREV1, to show when they are wordclock locked. Refer to the relevant owner’s manuals for more information. When the wordclock source is changed, lower the volume of your system just in case a device becomes unlocked and outputs any unpleasant noises. Wordclock Connections The WORD CLOCK IN BNC connector is used to receive wordclock signals from other digital audio equipment. When the wordclock source is set to WCLK IN, the SREV1 locks to the wordclock signal received at the WORD CLOCK IN connector. See “Wordclock Hookup Examples” on page 78 for more information. The WORD CLOCK IN is auto-terminating. SREV1—Owner’s Manual WORD CLOCK IN An external wordclock can also be sourced from an AES/EBU input or the slot input of a digital I/O card. Selecting the Wordclock Source 75 Selecting the Wordclock Source Note: When the wordclock source is changed on the wordclock master device, noise may occur from the SREV1’s outputs, especially if an MY8-AT I/O card is installed, so turn down your power amps beforehand, otherwise any connected speakers may be damaged. 1 Use the [UTILITY] button to locate the DIO page shown below. 2 Use the cursor buttons to select a source. The button for the currently selected source appears highlighted. The following wordclock sources can be selected. Condition Source Description Always available INT 48K Internal 48 kHz wordclock (default setting) WCLK IN External wordclock via the BNC WORD CLOCK IN AES/EBU1 External wordclock via the AES/EBU IN 1 AES/EBU2 External wordclock via the AES/EBU IN 2 SLOT x 1/2 External wordclock via slot x, input pair 1/2 SLOT x 3/4 External wordclock via slot x, input pair 3/4 SLOT x 5/6 External wordclock via slot x, input pair 5/6 SLOT x 7/8 External wordclock via slot x, input pair 7/8 SLOT x External wordclock via slot x When lockable external wordclock present AES/EBU I/O card installed (MY8-AE) & lockable wordclock present ADAT or Tascam I/O card installed (MY8-AT, MY8-TD) & lockable wordclock present This button indicates that a wordclock signal is present and that it’s at the same frequency as the currently selected source. This source can be selected. This button indicates that although a wordclock signal is present, it’s not at the same frequency as the currently selected source. This source can be selected. This button indicates that no wordclock signal is present. This source cannot be selected. The button of the selected source appears highlighted, as shown here. SREV1—Owner’s Manual 76 Chapter 8—Wordclocks 3 Press the [ENTER] button to activate the selected source. The SREV1 checks the selected source to see if a usable wordclock signal is available. If such a signal exists, the SREV1 locks to it and the corresponding FS LOCK indicator, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, lights up. If a usable wordclock signal is not found, the SREV1 will not operate and the FS LOCK indicators flash, as shown in the following table. In this situation, you must select another wordclock source or correct the external wordclock source. This condition also occurs if a previously selected external wordclock source is disconnected, the device supplying it is turned off, or the external wordclock is neither 48 kHz nor 44.1 kHz. The following table shows the indicator status when the SREV1 is synced and locked to its internal wordclock or an external source. Wordclock Source Button Condition FS LOCK Indicators RC-SREV1 FS Status Indicator FS LOCK Internal wordclock 48K Lock = yes Sync = yes 44.1K FS LOCK External wordclock 48K Lock = yes Sync = yes 44.1K The following table outlines each step in the transition from wordclock unlock to lock.

SREV1—Owner’s Manual Selecting the Wordclock Source 77 The following table outlines each step in the transition from wordclock lock to unlock. Step Condition Wordclock Source Button FS LOCK Indicators RC-SREV1 FS Status Indicator Notes FS LOCK 1 Lock = yes Sync = yes 48K Normal condition 44.1K FS LOCK 2 Lock = no Sync = no 48K 44.1K External source disconnected, etc., SREV1 muted Flashing together The INT 48K and WCLK IN buttons do not indicate whether or not the wordclock is locked or synchronized and never appear with diagonal lines through them. You can check the lock status of these sources by using the SREV1’s FS LOCK indicator, or the RC-SREV1’s FS status indicator. If a previously selected wordclock source is no longer available, for example, when an I/O card is removed, the wordclock source button appears shaded. In this case, select another wordclock source in order to use the SREV1.

The Yamaha AW4416 Audio Workstation, 01V Digital Mixing Console, D24 Digital Multitrack Recorder, DME32 Digital Mixing Engine, AD824 AD Converter, and DA824 DA Converter also use mini YGDAI I/O cards. Note that the “CD” series of YGDAI cards used by the Yamaha 02R Digital Recording Console and 03D Digital Mixing Console are not interchangeable with mini YGDAI cards. Slot inputs can be freely assigned to SREV1 channels. See “Assigning Inputs” on page 35 for more information. Channel-to-slot output assignments are fixed. See “Output Assignments” on page 9 for more information. Available I/O Cards The following mini YGDAI cards are currently available. See the Yamaha Professional Audio Web site at the following URL for up-to-date news on mini YGDAI cards: <http://www.yamaha.co.jp/product/proaudio/homeenglish/>. MY8-AD: 8 Analog Inputs The MY8-AD card provides eight electronically balanced analog inputs via phone jack connectors, with 20-bit 128-times oversampling A/D converters. MY4-AD: 4 Analog Inputs The MY4-AD card provides four electronically balanced analog inputs via female XLR connectors, with 24-bit 128-times oversampling A/D converters. MY4-DA: 4 Analog Outputs The MY4-DA card provides four electronically balanced analog outputs via male XLR connectors, with 20-bit 128-times oversampling D/A converters. MY8-AT: ADAT The MY8-AT card provides ADAT format digital I/O via two MultiChannel Optical Digital Interface connectors, and supports 16-, 20-, and 24-bit wordlengths.

MY8-TD: Tascam The MY8-TD card provides Tascam format digital I/O via a 25-pin D-sub connector, and supports 16-, 20-, and 24-bit wordlengths. A BNC connector is provided for wordclock output. MY8-TD cards feature a device selector switch (EXT: 88/INT: 38) that should be set to match the device being connected. This should be set to “EXT: 88” when connecting a Tascam DA-88, or “INT: 38” when connecting a Tascam DA-38 or other digital audio device. SREV1—Owner’s Manual Choosing I/O Cards 83 Specifications for the currently available I/O cards are as follows. Card Format In Out A/D D/A Wordlength Connectors MY8-AD Analog input 8 — 20-bit, 128 times — — Phone jack (balanced) x8 MY4-AD Analog input 4 — 24-bit, 128 times — — XLR-3-31 type (balanced) x4 MY4-DA Analog output — 4 — 20-bit, 128 times — XLR-3-32 type (balanced) x4 MY8-AT ADAT 8 8 — — 16, 20, 24 Optical x2 MY8-AE AES/EBU 8 8 — — 16, 20, 24 25-pin D-sub (cable not included) MY8-TD Tascam 8 8 — — 16, 20, 24 25-pin D-sub BNC wordclock output As these specifications show, analog I/O cards offer either inputs or outputs, while digital I/O cards offer both inputs and outputs. When an I/O card not listed above, for example, a future addition to the mini YGDAI series, is installed, the message “UNKNOWN CARD” appears. Choosing I/O Cards For analog I/O with XLR-type connectors, an MY4-AD card could be installed in, say, SLOT 1, and an MY4-DA card in SLOT 2, although it makes no difference which card is installed in each slot. To connect the SREV1 to other digital audio equipment, you must determine which digital interconnect format—AES/EBU, ADAT, or Tascam—the other equipment supports, and then install the necessary I/O cards. The following table shows which cards to use when connecting the SREV1 to other Yamaha digital audio products. Each product can be connected by using the AES/EBU, ADAT, or Tascam interface format. Unit AW4416 Max. # of Cards 2 Format Card for Other Unit Card for SREV1 ADAT MY8-AT MY8-AT Tascam MY8-TD MY8-TD AES/EBU MY8-AE MY8-AE AD824 1 As above DA824 1 As above DME32 4 As above D24 4 As above 01V 1 As above 02R 4 single or 2 double 03D 1 ADAT CD8-AT MY8-AT Tascam CD8-TDII MY8-TD AES/EBU CD8-AE or CD8-AE-S MY8-AE As above An external wordclock can be sourced via digital I/O cards. See “Selecting the Wordclock Source” on page 75 for more information. Using ADAT I/O cards in certain devices can cause wordclock-lock problems, so it’s recommend that you source wordclock signals via I/O cards of another format. See your Yamaha dealer for more information.

Advice Make sure that the power cord is connected properly to a suitable AC wall outlet and the SREV1. See “Connecting the Power Cord” on page 26 for more information. Make sure that the SREV1 POWER switch is set to ON. See “Turning On & Off the SREV1” on page 26 for more information. If you still cannot turn on the SREV1, contact your Yamaha dealer. The POWER indicator lights up when the SREV1 is turned on, but the INPUT and OUTPUT indicators flash alternately. Cannot turn on the RC-SREV1. Contact your Yamaha dealer. Make sure that the remote cable is connected between the SREV1 and RC-SREV1 properly. See “Connecting the RC-SREV1 Remote Controller” on page 22. Make sure that the RC-SREV1 POWER switch is in the ON position. See “Turning On & Off the RC-SREV1” on page 26 for more information. The FS LOCK indicators flash alternately. The SREV1 is locked but not synchronized to the external wordclock source. See “Selecting the Wordclock Source” on page 75 for more information. The FS LOCK indicators flash together. The SREV1 is neither locked nor synchronized to the external wordclock source. See “Selecting the Wordclock Source” on page 75 for more information. The FS status section of the RC-SREV1 display shows “UNLOCK”. The SREV1 is neither locked nor synchronized to the external wordclock source. See “Selecting the Wordclock Source” on page 75 for more information. If you’re using slot inputs, make sure the I/O cards are installed properly and secured using the thumbscrews. See “Installing I/O Cards” on page 84. Make sure the input is assigned to the proper channel. See “Assigning Inputs” on page 35 for more information. Connected an input signal but there’s no output. Use the level meters to help trace the signal. See “Metering” on page 37 for more information. Check the channel’s input and output level settings. See “Setting Input & Output Levels” on page 36 for more information. Is the Bypass mode is set to REV-MUTE, the reverb balance set to 100%, and the reverb level set to –∞? Are you connected to the correct outputs? See “Output Assignments” on page 9 for more information. Is the SREV1 bypassed. See “Bypassing the SREV1” on page 40 for more information. Can’t hear any reverb. Make sure that the Reverb Balance parameter is not set to 0%. See “Main 2 Parameters” on page 54 and “Fine Reverb Parameters” on page 56 for more information. Make sure that the Reverb Level parameter is not set to 0 dB. See “Fine Reverb Parameters” on page 56 for more information. Recalled a program but only its title is displayed, no program number. Probably because the program was recalled from a drive. Program numbers (P01–P12) are displayed only when programs are recalled from the Quick memories. See “RC-SREV1 Display” on page 18 for more information. SREV1—Owner’s Manual 86 Troubleshooting Symptom Advice Cannot store a Quick memory program. Is the selected Quick memory write-protected? See “Protecting Quick Memory Programs” on page 44 for more information. Cannot list the programs, projects, or impulse response data files on a PC Card. Make sure the PC Card is fully inserted. See “Using PC Cards” on page 29 for more information. Cannot list the programs, projects, or impulse response data files on a CD-ROM. Make sure the CD-ROM is inserted correctly. See “Using CD-ROMs” on page 28 for more information. A program is being recalled unknowingly. Is the program assigned to a MIDI Program Change and being recalled by external MIDI messages? See “Assigning Quick Memory Programs to Program Changes” on page 70. A parameter is being adjusted unknowingly. Is the parameter assigned to a MIDI Control Change and responding to external MIDI messages? See “Assigning Parameters to Control Changes” on page 71. Check the MIDI connections. Cannot receive MIDI messages. Make sure the connected MIDI device is turned on and set to transmit on the correct MIDI Channels. Check the MIDI settings on the RC-SREV1. See “Setting the MIDI Receive Channels” on page 69. MIDI Program Change messages do not recall programs. MIDI Control Change messages do not control parameters. Make sure that the SREV1 is set to receive Program Change messages on the correct channel. See “Setting the MIDI Receive Channels” on page 69. Check that the Program Change being transmitted is assigned to a Quick memory program. See “Assigning Quick Memory Programs to Program Changes” on page 70. Make sure that the SREV1 is set to receive Control Change messages on the correct channel. See “Setting the MIDI Receive Channels” on page 69. Check that the Control Change being transmitted is assigned to a parameter. See “Assigning Parameters to Control Changes” on page 71. Several parameters are adjusted when a Control Change message is received. If a Control Change is assigned to more than one parameter, all of those parameters are adjusted when that Control Change is received. See “Assigning Parameters to Control Changes” on page 71 for more information. Noise occurs from the outputs when the wordclock is changed on the wordclock master device. This is normal, although it’s more likely to occur if an MY8-AT I/O card is installed. To eliminate the risk of speaker damage, turn down your power amps beforehand. Cannot eject a CD-ROM. Use the emergency disc eject hole. See “SREV1 Front Panel” on page 12 for more information. SREV1—Owner’s Manual Error Messages 87 Appendix Error Messages Message Reason Solution VERSION MISMATCH.

For European Model Purchaser/User Information specified in EN55103-1 and EN55103-2. Inrush Current: 70A Conformed Environment: E1, E2, E3 and E4 SREV1—Owner’s Manual Units: mm Glossary 93 Glossary 2-channel mode—In this mode the SREV1 functions as a stereo processor. 4-channel mode—In this mode the SREV1 functions as a 4-channel surround processor. 2-channel x2 mode—In this mode the SREV1 functions as two independent stereo processors (A and B). ADAT interconnect format—The digital audio interconnect format typically found on ADAT-compatible digital audio equipment. Eight channels of digital audio are carried per fiber-optic connection using Toslink connectors. AES/EBU interconnect format—The digital audio interconnect format, established by the AES (Audio Engineering Society) and EBU (European Broadcasting Union), for transferring digital audio data between professional digital audio equipment. Two channels of digital audio (left/odd and right/even) are carried per balanced line. CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory)— The compact disc format for data storage. Defined in the Yellow Book. Control Change—A type of MIDI message offering real-time parameter control. Typical Control Changes include Modulation, Volume, Pan, and Portamento. Convolution—The digital audio process of imposing the characteristics of one signal onto another signal. The SREV1 convolves an acoustic “fingerprint” of a previously measured environment onto an audio signal, faithfully recreating the original reverberation, with accurate reflection detail identical to that produced had the sound been heard in that environment. Convolution time—Convolution time is not the same as reverb time. Reverb time is the time it takes the reverberation to decay by –60 dB, and more convolution is required to provide reverberation down to –90 dB or –120 dB, so the convolution time must be between 1.5 and 2 times more than the reverb time. DIO—Abbreviation for “digital input and output.” Drives—Programs, projects, and impulse-response data can be stored on the following drives: Internal Card, PC Card, or CD-ROM. (The Internal Card is compact flash memory.) FAT16—The FAT (File Allocation Table) system, developed by Microsoft and supported by MS-DOS and most Windows operating systems, is essentially a database that records where files are stored on hard disks and other storage media. FAT12 is the original 12-bit version. FAT16 is the 16-bit version, since superseded by the 32-bit version, FAT32, which supports larger storage devices. FS—Abbreviation for “sampling frequency.” Impulse response—The sound pressure measured at a sensor position set against the time of an acoustic pulse “fired” from the source position. In other words, an environment’s acoustical response. Initial delay—The delay before the reverb reflections start. ISO9660 Level 2—A standard format for storing files and directories on a CD-ROM. Conforming discs can be read by Macintosh, Windows, UNIX, and other systems. Library—The place used to load, save, title, protect, and delete programs from the Internal Card, PC Card, and CD-ROM. MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)—The standard digital interface for controlling electronic musical systems and audio equipment. SREV1—Owner’s Manual 94 Glossary mini YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface)—The second-generation YGDAI interface system used on the 01V Digital Mixing Console, D24 Digital Multitrack Recorder, DME32 Digital Mixing Engine, and SREV1. PC Card—A small, credit card-sized device for use with personal computers and other electronic devices. PC Cards come in three thicknesses, the thinnest being Type I, which is typically used for RAM or ROM memory. Type II cards, which are slightly thicker, may contain, for example, a fax/modem, while Type III cards are thick enough to contain a hard disk drive. PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association)—The organization responsible for the development of the PC Card standard. Peaking—A type of EQ circuit used to cut and boost a band of frequencies, producing a mountain-peak type response. The width of the band is called the Q. Middle-band EQ is usually of the peaking type. Compare with Shelving. PEQ—Abbreviation for “parametric EQ.” Program—Measured impulse response data is combined with variable parameters such as reverb time and initial delay to form reverb programs. Preset programs are supplied on CD-ROM. User programs can be stored in the Quick memories, Internal Card or PC Card. Program Change—A type of MIDI message for recalling programs. Project—A Project contains all the Quick memory programs and the current program settings. Projects can be stored on the Internal Card or PC Card. Q—The unit used to express a filter’s width. High values imply a narrow frequency band, low values, a wide frequency band. Quick memory—Quick memories are special memories for storing programs. Unlike programs stored on the Internal Card, PC Card, or CD-ROM, which take time to load, Quick memory programs can be recalled instantly. Reverb mode—The SREV1 offers three modes of operation: 2-channel, 4-channel, and 2-channel x2. In 2-channel mode, the SREV1 functions as a stereo processor. In 4-channel mode, the SREV1 offers 4-channel surround processing. In 2-channel x2 mode, the SREV1 functions as two independent stereo processors (A and B). Reverb time—The time it takes the reverberation to decay by –60 dB. See also Convolution time. RS-232C—An interface for connecting serial devices, offering a transmission distance of approximately 15 meters, typically using 9- or 25-pin D-Sub connectors. RS-422—A balanced interface for connecting serial devices, offering a transmission distance of approximately 1 kilometer, higher data rates, and greater immunity to interference than RS-232C.
