TomBoisseau Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I have an 01V96i. I will say, I've never had that problem before. Does rebooting fix it? What was your power source? Of course it is possible to "link" solo to the select, but you are correct, you should never be able to "select" more than one channel at a time. The only exception might be if you have multiple channels linked together. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afewmoreyears Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I have tortured mine in the last few years... no issues.... it's probably not broke, but you never know... I will say, the pro audio support over the phone is excellent.... Call them, tell them you are pro audio and having an issue, if the specialist can't take your call, he will call you back in a few minutes.... they have been just great. This is a beast set up wise, it could be any number of things... Normally you SAVE your set ups and can recall them for use later.... Or, if you do live sound house, or monitors, or Production sound for film.... Since I only do film sound I save my set ups with dates... By that I mean, when you get your console, you set it up and run with it..... Save that set up... use a date to define it.... then after a while, you change a few things, add a few functions.... Save that.... name it with a date.... if you do this over time you will have 6 or so set ups saved.... or more... you can always go back to a proir set up and recall it to see if it was a NON INTENDED function save that is causing the issue..... Go back a few and see if things run normally... If you go back to set up one and it also has the issue, you know it's a malfunction.... Good luck...

John Steigerwald Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Never seen a yammy do that before.. Seems like a faulty logic circuit with the way they remain on, but dimmed. Can you clear the multiple solos with the 'solo clear' button? Definitely time for a trip to the mothership I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Ragon Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thanks for the reply, everyone. I dont think this is a set up issue. You can see the solo buttons going into a half lit state.. and stuck on. Also.. when you hit the select buttons, it should have NOTHING to do with the solo buttons.. And.. when this was happening, I looked up at my boom recorder, and all the tracks went all over the place.. Where they should have been on 1-5, they went to 12-16.. This was a pure electronics malfunction for sure! It fixed itself after 10 mins, not touching anything.. -Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Ragon Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Also.. I forgot to add.. This select/solo stuck lights thing, happens ONLY on 1-8.. 9-16 don't do it. -Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Lightstone, CAS Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 First I would try to reload the firmware. However before doing that save all your settings to your computer so you can recall them after reloading. The second possibility is a loose circuit board. If the reloading the current firmware doesn't solve your problem, then as others suggested, time to send it in for a checkout. I have owned several 01V's since 2004 and never seen this issue either.

John Blankenship Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I sure wish those things were small, light, and D.C. powered -- I'd need to try one for sure. As it is, my cart is right at the maximum weight I'm happy with for loading, unloading, moving around, carrying up stairs, etc., with my current 20lb mixer.

Philip Perkins Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 If you bought the mixer new local I'd take it right back and get another one without screwing with it anymore. Shouldn't be your issue. That "half-lighting" thing with the selects is scary, like a component or loose ribbon issue. philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I agree with Mr. Lightstone. I have seen the (very similar) 01X and 03D consoles occasionally go profoundly stupid and have to be rebooted with the factory presets. Usually this would fix any momentary routing or solo functions. Be wary of recalling presets, because the presets may also have garbled data, which will bring the problem back. You may have to rebuild the presets from scratch, just to be sure. And there's always the possibility that this is just a lemon, as Phil says above. We had 11 Yamaha 03D consoles at Complete Post, and I think ten of them worked fine, and one of them occasionally went stupid. They finally opted to replace it with a DM1000, and that one was fine from day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Visser Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Just ordered an O1V96i myself. I haven't heard anything about this being symptomatic with the model. How easy is it to open up? Most of these types of boards have a main motherboard with numerous daughter boards attached via board to board risers or ribbon cables. Perhaps one of these is loose? I'd definitely address it with the dealer as a first step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Ragon Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 As strange as this is.. yes, I do believe its something at the component level with a board. I bolted the 01v96i down to a pull out drawer, in which gets transported at an angle. But this shouldn't effect anything, as it's in a box when it's created and distributed when it's new, so it stays at an angle most of it's new life. Picked it up from Guitar Center in Hollywood. Did that because of their return policies. I'll call them. I also contacted Yamaha, and gave them the video. We'll see what happens on Monday. Wouldn't it just be awesome if they made one of these in an 8 channel model? Half the size, weight, and power. I still love the mixer, though. Thanks all. -Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirror Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 8 channels would not be enough. I've seen 3 channels used just for communications - slate, private line, video village. That would leave only 5 channelss to mix with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Paine Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 A 12 channel DC powered version with an extra expansion slot or two would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastermixaudiomedia Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Have them make an 8-channel model that runs on 12VDC, and I'll buy one that same day! That almost sounds like the Yamaha that got their digital mixer line started back in the day... remember the DMP7? Have 02R96V2 at home, DM2000VCM at work, love 'em! A bit of Yamaha history...

That would leave only 5 channelss to mix with. 8 channels just for the mix -- slate and PL separate. Video Village could just get a separate mix from an aux bus, no big deal. This can all be done; it's just a question of how big a market there could be for it. And external clock and external sync are mandatory, so I agree with Phil on that.

I'd buy one tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Ragon Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Looks like I stumped the tech support at Yamaha. They are sending it though their channels. Main tech support thinks it may be a 'settings' issue. But settings issues, don't solve themselves after 'warming up' after 20 mins.. Oh well. -Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Steigerwald Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Main tech support thinks it may be a 'settings' issue. Is that with or without seeing the video you made? Clearly the console has internal issues. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
