Yamaha 32x Musical Toy Instrument User Manual


 
The MGP is the realization of a new approach towards the utilization of digital technologies in a mixer, offering
simple, analog-style control of sophisticated DSP functions.
One of the most compelling features of analog gear is the direct, hands-on, intuitive operation that unites
the operator with the console. The MGP design sought to keep this feel consistent throughout the design to offer
a wealth of functionality, yet with a simple, familiar touch.
A Revolution in Digital
MGP Series mixing consoles offer two separate studio-grade effects processors for ultimate
enhancement of your sound, with simple intuitive control. Yamaha's high-end REV-X reverb offers three
very musical and natural high-resolution reverb effects: Hall, Room and Plate-a first for any Yamaha
analog mixer. For more sound-shaping possibilities, Yamaha's renowned SPX digital multi-effect
processor provides a useful selection of 16 advanced digital effects with editable parameters. Both
processors can be used simultaneously, giving you a vast array of tools to color your sound.
An invaluable feature for applications
that require both public-speaking and
background music, Priority Ducker
allows a microphone to take priority
over another sound source automatically, just by
speaking into the mic. Stop talking and the other
sound source is brought back to its original level,
therefore no console operator is required for this
simple yet valuable function. You can even adjust
the ducker attenuation of sound source depending
on your preferences.
The Stereo Image function seamlessly
narrows the pan balance of the stereo
sound source so that audiences spread
over a wide area can enjoy a
comfortably blended mix. This is particularly helpful
for installed sound applications that requires
background music. Using either of the two optimized
settings—MONO and BLEND— Stereo Image ensures
that everyone is in the "sweet spot" by providing a
more optimally mixed sound to the entire space.

source that vary in volume, providing a
more pleasurable listening experience.
Ideal for small events with un-manned operation of
your console, Yamaha's proprietary DSP algorithm
allows for extended play time without the worry of
fluctuating volume levels distracting your listeners.

Hybrid Channel
More Than Just Digital... it's Hybrid.
40 years of experience working with professional mixers has led Yamaha to offer a
new way of approaching sound reinforcement in the digital age: the Stereo Hybrid
Channel. Beneath the analog-style knobs and encoders of MGP Series mixing
consoles lies a sophisticated digital control system—a fusion that combines
traditional analog feel with the functionality that only digital technology can offer.
The MGP Series utilizes a powerful, proprietary DSP to provide three essential
features that are staples of both installed and live sound applications. In keeping
with the theme of analog simplicity found throughout the MGP Series design, each
of these functions is readily accessible and available at the touch of a button.
Featuring a mid-sweep, three-band EQ for nuanced sound control and
high-performance onboard A/D and D/A converters, the Stereo Hybrid Channel
offers unique functionality with superior sound.
