Touch Flow Operation
The Stand out feature of the Yamaha TF series is their new Touch Flow Technology. Yamaha have collaborated with some of the top engineers in the world to create the latest in touch screen technology so that you have quick control of a vast array of functions with an easy and intuitive interface.
With so much that is possible on a quality professional mixer like the TF series, many of the functions are often hidden behind menus and controllers, that make changing something simple very long winded and frustrating. The Touch Flow design makes changing that minor detail easy and direct, so that you can spend less time in menus and more time evaluating your mixes.
The TF series uses a mixture of intuitive touch screen actions that you may be used to using on a tablet with classic physical controls that you would usually find on a professional mixer; so you can swipe and pinch on-screen, and twist knobs to get the job done. The physical Touch & Turn knob is always available right beside the touch panel. There are also four User Defined Knobs below the panel that can be assigned to control compressor threshold, EQ gain, or other parameters you need fast, direct access to while mixing. The knobs always affect the currently selected channel.
For the Amateur & the Expert
The TF series has all the features a seasoned professional mix engineer needs to create fantastic mixes every time. But what if you are a less technical musician who knows what they want but doesn't necessarily know how to get it. The TF series has a number of features that help anyone get the best out of the mixer, despite their technical knowledge level.
1-knob COMP and 1-Knob EQ
An experienced engineer can do amazing things with a compressor and EQ to give cohesion punch and tightness to your mix. The Yamaha mixer offers the power of the chosen effect in a single knob, so you don't have to worry about different parameters. Just choose from a range of presets and simply dial in the amount of compression or EQ that you want. Fine tuned by some of the best engineers in the world, it's almost like they're there, helping you create that amazing mix!
If you're more experienced and just want to set levels quickly, the 1-knob function is perfect, as you can quickly dial in the effect, and return later and fine tweak with the full compression/EQ controls when you have the time to get the settings just how you like.
Gain Finder
Another primary concern when getting a good mix is setting the right input levels of all your instruments. Yamaha have developed a way to make fast, accurate setup of this important basic parameter easier than ever with GainFinder. The Feature automatically helps you find the optimum gain setup for individual input signals, so that you get the best quality sound possible into the desk. A simple colour-coded display shows the sweet spot, but can be configured as a regular level meter if you prefer to set the levels yourself with no assistance.
QuickPro Presets
In addition to the 1-knob features, the Yamaha TF series offers instant access to pro sound setups through a number of presets. Working with top engineers Industry leading microphone manufactures such as Shure, Sennheiser and Audio-Technica, The Quick Pro Presets give you a vast toolbox of pre-designed settings that will give even the novice engineer a great mix. For more experienced pros, these presets are great if you're short of time, and a great starting point if you like to tweak for personal taste. With a wide range of parameter presets for vocals, instruments, monitors and front of house, everything is covered so you can achieve a great mix every time!
