Precautions
• Connect the mixer power cord only to the power supply unit, and connect the power supply unit to an AC outlet of the type stated in this Owner’s Manual or as marked on the power supply unit. Failure to do so is a fire and electrical shock hazard.
• Do not locate the mixer in a place subject to excessive heat or in direct sunlight. This could be a fire hazard.
• Do not place the mixer in a place subject to excessive humidity or dust. This could be a fire and electrical shock hazard.
• Do not plug several devices into the same AC outlet. This may overload the AC outlet, and could be a fire and electrical shock hazard. It may also affect the performance of some equipment.
• Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. A damaged power cord is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard.
• If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the mixer in this condition is a fire and shock hazard.
• Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting from an
AC outlet. Never pull the cord. Damaging the power cord in this way is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard.
• Do not place small metal objects on top of the mixer.
Metal objects inside the mixer are a fire and electrical shock hazard.
• Do not try to modify the mixer. This could be a fire and electrical shock hazard.
• The mixer operating temperature is between 5˚C and
35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F).
• Turn off all audio devices and speakers when connecting to the mixer. Refer to the owner’s manual for each device.
Use the correct cables and connect as specified.
• If you notice any abnormality—such as smoke, odor, or noise—turn off the mixer immediately. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Confirm that the abnormality is no longer present. Consult your dealer for repair. Using the mixer in this condition is a fire and shock hazard.
• If a foreign object or water gets inside the mixer, turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer for repair. Using the mixer in this condition is a fire and electrical shock hazard.
• If you plan not to use the mixer for a long period of time, remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Leaving the mixer connected is a fire hazard.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth to clean the mixer. Use only a soft, dry cloth.
• The mixer is a heavy piece of equipment. Always grip the underneath, not the side panels, when lifting.
• The mixer uses high-frequency digital circuits that may cause interference on radios and televisions placed close to it. If interference does occur, relocate the affected equipment.
Features of the system
• The M3000-40C provides a generous number of input modules; 40 monaural and 4 stereo (the M3000-24 provides 24 monaural and 4 stereo). Stereo output, 16 mix outputs, and 8 matrix outputs are provided in addition. The M3000 is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, such as the main mixer for sound reinforcement, as a monitor mixer, or in building installations.
• The GA Diversity function allows each pair of MIX buses 1/2–7/8 to be switched between group bus
(fixed output level from the input channels) and AUX bus (variable output level from the input channels).
Bus configuration can be set up as needed.
• The Scene Memory function allows the on/off status of the mono/stereo input channels, MIX OUT 1–16, and STEREO A OUT to be saved as one of 128
“scenes.” Scenes can be selected from the front panel, or by MIDI program change messages from an external device. In addition, MIDI control change messages transmitted from an external device can be used to switch the individual on/off status of input channels or bus outputs channels.
• By modifying internal settings, Scene Memory numbers 1–8 can be used as mute groups. In this case, up to eight mute (on/off) settings can be added/defeated individually.
• Eight VCA master faders allow the gain of multiple input channels to be controlled as a group. By grouping the desired input channels and assigning them to a
VCA master fader, you can adjust the mix as appropriate for the on-state action using the VCA master faders alone.
• The mono input channels provide a 26 dB pad, HPF, phase switch, four-band parametric EQ, and 100 mm full stroke faders as well as DIRECT OUT jacks. Phantom power is also provided, and can be switched on/ off individually.
• The M3000-40C features a center master design that places the master section in the middle of the mixer for superior operability.
• All input channels provide a PFL switch, and an AFL switch is provided for MATRIX OUT 1–8/MIX OUT
1–16/STEREO A OUT/STEREO B OUT. This makes it easy to check your input/output sources.
• Eight independent matrices are provided. The signals from MIX OUT 1–16/STEREO A OUT and dedicated input jacks can be mixed at the desired levels, and output from MATRIX OUT jacks 1–8. This capability can be used for foldback or as a mix for individual speakers/amps.
• All mono input channels, stereo buses, and MIX buses provide an INSERT I/O jack. External effect processors can be inserted as necessary.
• The talkback signal and test tone oscillators can be sent to any of the MIX buses 1-2–13/16 or the stereo buses.
• As monitor sources for the monitor output, you can select (in addition to STEREO A OUT), PFL from the input channels, AFL/PFL from MATRIX OUT 1–8/
MIX OUT 1–16/STEREO A OUT/STEREO B OUT, or
2TR IN 1/2.

Mono input channels
The M3000-24 provides 24 input channels, and the
M3000-40C provides 40 input channels. All input channels have the same specifications.
A
Phantom power switch/ +48 V indicator
This switch turns the +48 V phantom power on/off for each channel. When phantom power is on, the +48
V indicator located above the switch will light. If you wish to use phantom power, first make sure that the
PHANTOM MASTER switch (page 28) located on the
rear panel is turned on.
B
GAIN control
This control adjusts the input sensitivity. Levels supported are –16dB ~ –60 dB when the Pad switch ( 3 ) is off, and +10dB ~ –34dB when the switch is on.
C
26 dB pad switch
This switch attenuates the input signal by 26 dB.
When the switch is pressed ( ), the pad is on.
D
ø (phase) switch
This switch reverses the phase of the input signal.
When the switch is pressed ( ), the phase is reversed.
E
HPF (high pass filter) control
This controls the cutoff frequency of the high pass filter. The range is 20Hz–400Hz.
F
HPF switch
This switch turns the high pass filter on/off. When the switch is pressed ( ), the high pass filter is on, and the signal component below the frequency specified by the HPF control ( 5 ) will be attenuated by 12 dB/ oct.
G
EQ control
This is a four-band equalizer which can boost/cut each band over range of
±
15 dB. HI-MID and LOW-
MID provide switches that let you change between two settings of Q (filter steepness). The center frequency, Q value, and gain range of each band are as follows.

H
EQ switch
This switches the equalizer on/off. When the switch is pressed ( ), the equalizer is on.
I
M1–M8 switches
These switch on/off the signal which is sent from the input channel to MIX buses 1–8.
Note: If these switches are off, no signal will be sent to the corresponding MIX bus from this input channel, regardless of the switch setting of the vari-
able/fixed select section (page 13).
J
M1–M8 mix level controls
These controls send the signal from the input channel to MIX buses 1–8. When the control is in the “ ▲ ” position, the level is nominal (0 dB). Use the PRE switch ( P ) to switch between pre/post fader.
Note: For MIX bus pairs for which the variable/fix
select section (page 13) switch is set to FIX, the out-
put level which is sent from each input channel to the bus will be fixed, and therefore the mix level control setting will have no effect.
K
M9–M12 switches
These are on/off switches for the signals that are sent from the input channel to MIX buses 9–12.
L
M9–M12 mix level controls
These controls send the signal from the input channel to MIX buses 9–12. When the control is in the “ ▲ ” position, the level is nominal (0 dB). Use the PRE switch ( P ) to switch between pre/post fader.
Control panel
M
M13/M14 , M15/M16 switches
These are on/off switches for the signals that are sent from the input channel to MIX buses 13–16. M13 and
14, and M15 and M16 are stereo pairs, and each pair is turned on/off by one switch. Use the PRE switch ( P ) to switch between pre/post fader.
N
M13/M14 , M15/M16 mix level controls
These controls send the signal from the input channel to MIX buses 13–16. When the control is in the “ ▲ ” position, the level is nominal (0 dB). M13 and M14, and M15 and M16 are stereo pairs, and the output level of each pair is controlled by one knob. Use the
PRE switch ( P ) to switch between pre/post fader.
O
M13/M14 , M15/M16 pan controls
These controls set the panning of the signals that are sent from the input channel to MIX buses 13/14 or
MIX buses 15/16. When the control is in the center position, an equal amount of signal will be sent to both buses.
P
PRE switches
These are pre-fader/post-fader switches for the signals that are sent from the input channel to MIX buses 1–
16. Pre/post can be switched independently for each group of MIX buses: 1–4, 5–8, 9–12, and 13–16. When the switch is pressed ( ), the post-EG/pre-fader signal will be sent to the corresponding group of MIX buses.

This sets the panning of the signal that is sent from the input channel to the ST bus.
S
ON/EDIT switch/ ON , CHECK indicators
The function of this switch and these indicators will depend on the mode of the M3000.
● In normal mode
The ON/EDIT switch will turn on the input channel.
When on, the ON indicator will light. Channels which are turned off will send no signal to the ST bus or the
MIX buses. However even in this case, you can use the
PFL switch ( W ) to monitor the channel from the
MONITOR OUT jacks or the PHONE jack.
● In check mode
In check mode (page 33), you can use the CHECK
indicators to view the on/off status of each channel stored in a scene before you actually recall the scene.
This is convenient when you wish to verify the status of each channel before you recall a scene.
In check mode, you can also use the ON/EDIT switches to change only the lit/dark status of the
CHECK indicators. (The actual on/off setting will not be affected.) Use this when you wish to maintain the current mix settings, and store partially modified settings as a scene.
T
PEAK/NOM/SIGNAL indicators
Three indicators show the level of the input channel signal after it passes through the EQ.
• PEAK indicator
This will light when the signal exceeds the nominal level by 18 dB.
• NOM (nominal) indicator
This will light when the signal reaches nominal level
(0 dB).
• SIGNAL indicator
This will light when the signal reaches 10 dB below the nominal level.
U
VCA GROUP select switches
These switches select the VCA master fader(s) which will control the signal output level of this channel.
When you select a VCA group 1–8, the indicator located at the left of each switch will light, and the corresponding VCA master fader (VCA master section
3) will control the channel. It is possible to select two or more VCA groups for one input channel, or to control two or more input channels by the same VCA group.
● Channels for which a VCA group is selected
The signal output level of the channel can be controlled both by the corresponding VCA master fader(s) and by the channel fader (V). The settings of all corresponding VCA master faders are summed with the setting of the channel fader to specify the signal output level of that channel.
● Channels for which a VCA group is not selected
The signal output level of the channel can be controlled only by the channel fader (V).
Note: For details on VCA functions, refer to
Control panel
V
Channel fader
This fader adjusts the signal output level of the input channel. This fader will affect the level of the signal that is sent to the ST bus and to the MIX buses (if the
PRE switch is off). If one or more VCA groups are selected by the VCA GROUP select switches (U), the signal output level of that channel will also be affected by the corresponding VCA master fader(s).
W
PFL (pre-fader listen) switch
When this switch is on ( ), the pre-fader/post-EQ signal of this input channel will be sent to the PFL bus, allowing it to be monitored from the MONITOR
OUT jacks or the PHONES jack.

Stereo input channels
The M3000 provides four stereo input channels. Stereo sound sources such as sub-mixers, effect processor, or CD players can be input to the INPUT A jacks
(XLR connectors) or INPUT B jacks (RCA phono connectors) located on the rear panel.
A
GAIN A control
This control adjusts the input sensitivity of the signal that is input from the XLR connector INPUT A jack
(rear panel 4). The level range is +10~ –30 dB. When the A/B select switch (3) is in the B position ( ), this control will have no effect.
B
GAIN B control
This control adjusts the input sensitivity of the signal that is input from the RCA phono connector INPUT
B jack (rear panel 5). The level range is +10~ –20 dB.
When the A/B select switch (3) is in the A position
( ), this control will have no effect.
C
A/B select switch
This switch selects the input jacks that the stereo input channel will use. When the switch is in the upward position ( ) the INPUT A jack can be used. When the switch is in the downward position ( ) the
INPUT B jacks can be used.
D
EQ controls
This is a four-band equalizer which allows
±
15 dB of boost/cut for each band. The HI-MID and LOW-MID bands allow you to switch between two settings of Q
(steepness). The center frequency, Q values, and gain range for each band is as follows.

F
M1–M8 switches
These switch on/off the signal which is sent from the stereo input channel to MIX buses 1–8.
Note: If these switches are off, no signal will be sent to the corresponding MIX bus from this input channel, regardless of the switch setting of the vari-
able/fixed select section (page 13).
G
M1–M8 mix level controls
These controls combine the stereo signal from the stereo input channel into a mono signal, and send it to
MIX buses 1–8. When the control is in the “▲” position, the level is nominal (0 dB). Use the PRE switch
(M) to switch between pre/post fader.
Note: For MIX bus pairs for which the variable/fix
select section (page 13) switch is set to FIX, the out-
put level which is sent from each input channel to the bus will be fixed, and therefore the mix level control setting will have no effect.

When you select a VCA group 1–8, the indicator located at the left of each switch will light, and the corresponding VCA master fader (VCA master section 3) will control the channel. It is possible to select two or more VCA groups for one stereo input channel, or to control two or more channels by the same VCA group.
● Stereo input channels for which a VCA group is selected
The signal output level of the channel can be controlled both by the corresponding VCA master fader(s) and by the channel fader (S).
● Stereo input channels for which a VCA group is not selected
The signal output level of the stereo input channel can be controlled only by the channel fader (S).
Note: For details on VCA functions, refer to
S
Channel fader
This fader adjusts the signal output level of the stereo input channel. This fader will affect the level of the signal that is sent to the ST bus and to the MIX buses
(if the PRE switch is off). If one or more VCA groups are selected by the VCA GROUP select switches (R), the signal output level of that channel will also be affected by the corresponding VCA master fader(s).
T
PFL (pre-fader listen) switch
When this switch is on ( ), the pre-fader/post-EQ signal of this stereo input channel will be sent to the
PFL bus, allowing it to be monitored from the MONI-
TOR OUT jacks or the PHONES jack.
Variable/fixed select section
The M3000’s GA (Group/Aux) diversity function allows MIX buses 1–8 to function either as group buses or as AUX buses. In this section, you can switch each pair of MIX buses (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8) between functioning as group buses or as AUX buses.

Variable/fixed select switches
These switches select whether the level of the signals sent from the input channels to MIX buses 1–8 will be fixed (FIX) or variable (VARIABLE). From top to bottom, these switch MIX buses 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8.
● When FIX ( ) is selected
The corresponding pair of MIX buses (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/
8) will function as a group bus, and the signal of the
MIX (FIX) bus will be output to the corresponding mix channel. In this case, the settings of the mix level controls M1–M8 (mono input channels J, stereo input channels 7) will have no effect.
● When VARIABLE ( ) is selected
The corresponding pair of MIX buses (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/
8) will function as an AUX bus, and the signal of the
MIX (VARIABLE) bus will be output to the corresponding mix channel. In this case, the mix level controls M1–M8 (mono input channels J, stereo input channels 7) will take effect just as they are set.

ON/EDIT switches
The function of these switches and indicators will depend on the mode of the M3000.
● In normal mode
The ON/EDIT switches will turn each MIX OUT on/ off. When on, the ON indicator will light. MIX OUTs which are turned off will send no signal to the MIX
OUT 1–16 jacks, the MAS AFL bus, the ST bus or the matrix. However even in this case, you can turn on the
AFL switch (6) to monitor the pre-fader signal from the MONITOR OUT jacks or the PHONE jack.
● In check mode
You can use the CHECK indicators to view the on/off status of each MIX OUT stored in a scene before you actually recall the scene.
In check mode, you can also use the ON/EDIT switches to change only the lit/dark status of the
CHECK indicators. (The actual on/off setting will not be affected.)

Matrix section
The M3000 provides eight matrices which allow output signals from the MIX buses 1–16 or the ST bus, or input signals from MATRIX SUB IN to be mixed at the desired level.
Matrix 1–8 are output in mono from MATRIX OUT jacks 1-8 respectively (page 27), and
can be used as foldback or for an individual monitor system.

When this switch is on ( ), the signal before passing through the level control will be sent to the MAS PFL bus, and the signal after passing through the LEVEL control will be sent to the MAS AFL bus, allowing you to monitor them from the MONITOR OUT jacks or the PHONES jack.
When the monitor section MASTER PFL switch
(page 19) is off, you can monitor the signal of the
MAS AFL bus. When the MASTER PFL switch is on, you can monitor the signal of the MAS PFL bus. However if even one of the input channel PFL switches is on, the PFL bus will be given priority for monitoring, meaning that it will not be possible to monitor the matrix.

MIDI IN/OUT/THRU connectors
These are standard five-pin MIDI connectors. By connecting a sequencer or personal computer to these connectors, you can select scenes remotely, or backup scene memories. If two or more M3000 consoles are connected via MIDI, a scene selection on one M3000 can simultaneously switch the scene on the other M3000(s).
● MIDI IN connector
MIDI messages are received at this connector. Use a
MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT connector of the external MIDI device to this connector.
● MIDI OUT connector
MIDI messages are transmitted from this connector.
Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI IN connector of the external MIDI device to this connector.
● MIDI THRU connector
Messages received at the MIDI IN connector are retransmitted without change from this connector. For example if three or more M3000 consoles are connected via MIDI, you would connect the MIDI OUT connector of the first unit (the master) to the MIDI
IN connector of the second unit (slave), and connect the THRU connector of the second unit to the MIDI
IN connector of the third unit. With these connections, selecting a scene on the first M3000 will cause the scene to change on the second and third units in the same way.

About the GA Diversity functionality
The GA Diversity functionality of the M3000 allows you to switch the MIX buses 1–8 between acting as group buses (output level from the input channels will be fixed) or acting as AUX buses (output level from the input channels will be variable).
This functionality lets you use MIX bus pairs 1/2, 3/4,
5/6, or 7/8 either as group buses or as AUX buses, and gives you the flexibility to configure the console as 8 group buses/8 AUX sends, 4 group/12 AUX send, or
16 AUX send, etc.
Note: MIX buses 9–16 always function as AUX buses.
Using MIX buses 1–8 as group buses
1. Of the four switches in the variable/fix select sec-
tion (page 13), set the switches to the FIX posi-
tion ( ) for the MIX buses that you wish to use as group buses.
From top to bottom, the switches of the variable/fix select section correspond to MIX buses 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8. For MIX buses whose switch is in the FIX position, the output level from the input channels will be fixed. At this time, M1–M8 controls of the input channels will have no effect.

About the Scene Memory function
What is scene memory?
Scene memory is a function which stores the on/off status of the mono/stereo input channels and of MIX buses 1–12, 13/14, 15/16 and ST A as one of 128
“scenes.” A scene that has been stored can be recalled instantly at a touch of a switch.
It is also possible to select scenes remotely from an external device connected to the M3000’s MIDI IN, or conversely to transmit a scene recall operation from the MIDI OUT connector as a MIDI program change message.
With the factory settings, the M3000’s scene memories are set as follows. However, the scenes of memory numbers 1–128 can be rewritten as desired.
Memory number 1
Memory number 2
Memory number 3
Memory number 4
Memory number 5 all on all off all on all off all on
Memory number 6
Memory number 7 all off all on
Memory number 8 all off
Memory numbers 9–128 no data
Memory number 129
Memory number 130 all on all off
Note: With the factory settings, memory 1 will be selected when the power is first turned on.
Scene memory operations are performed in the Scene
Memory section.

About the modes of the Scene
Memory function
The Scene Memory function has the following three modes.
● Normal mode
In this mode you can recall and store scenes normally.
When the M3000 is in Normal mode, the CHECK switch and UTILITY switch indicators of the scene memory section will be dark.
● Check mode
In this mode you can confirm the settings of a scene before you actually recall it, or edit the on/off settings of each input channel or mix bus before storing a scene. When the M3000 is in Check mode, the indicator of the CHECK switch in the scene memory section will light.

About the Scene Memory function
Operations in normal mode
Storing a scene (normal mode)
1. Make sure that the M3000 is in normal mode, and use the ON/EDIT switches of the mono/stereo input channels, the mix section and the STE-
REO A section to make the desired on/off settings.
Note: In normal mode, operation of all ON/EDIT switches will affect the signal which is actually output. If you are conducting a rehearsal or actual performance and wish to make on/off settings without affecting the signals that are being output, use
Check mode.
2. Use the scene memory section ▲ / ▼ switches or the 0–9/ENTER buttons of the scene memory section to make the MEMORY display indicate the memory number (1–128) into which you wish to store the scene. (Memory numbers 129/130 are read-only, and cannot be selected.)
The selected memory number will blink in the MEM-
ORY display. Scenes which are stored in memory numbers 1–8 can be selected at one touch using the
DIRECT RECALL 1–8 switches. If you need onetouch access to a scene memory, it is convenient to store it in one of these memory numbers.
Note: When you perform the Store operation, the contents that were previously in that memory number will be erased, and cannot be recovered. Be aware of this as you select of a store destination.
3. Press the STORE switch.
The MEMORY display will blink “ ,” indicating that the M3000 is ready to store the scene.
4. To execute the Store operation, press the
STORE switch once again.
If you decide not to store, you can cancel the operation by pressing any switch other than STORE.
Note: If memory protect is on, the MEMORY display will indicate “ ,” and it will not be possible to execute the Store operation. Disable memory protect, and execute the Store operation once again.
(For details on disabling memory protect, refer to
Note: STEREO B OUT is not affected by scene memories.
Recalling a scene (normal mode)
1. Use the scene memory section ▲ / ▼ switches or the 0–9/ENTER buttons of the scene memory section to make the MEMORY display indicate the memory number (1–130) that you wish to recall.
The selected memory number will blink. Read-only memory numbers 129/130 can be selected only by the
0–9/ENTER buttons.
2. Press the RECALL switch.
The selected scene memory will be recalled.
Note: If no data has been stored in the selected scene, the MEMORY display will indicate “ and the scene will not be recalled.
,”
3. To instantly recall a memory number 1–8, press the desired DIRECT RECALL 1–8 switch.
With the factory settings, the scenes of memory numbers 1–8 can be recalled directly by the DIRECT
RECALL 1–8 switches. (This is referred to as “direct recall.”) In this case, it is not necessary to press the
RECALL switch, and the scene will change instantly.
If you press the ▲/▼ switches following a direct recall operation, the scene memory number which had been selected before you pressed the DIRECT RECALL 1–8 switch will blink in the display. This allows you to quickly return to the previous scene number even if you used direct recall while selecting consecutive scene memories.
Note: The DIRECT RECALL 1–8 switches can also be used as mute group switches to add/defeat mute
groups. For details refer to page 36.
Operations in check mode
In check mode you can verify the settings of a scene before recalling it, or edit the on/off status of the ON/
EDIT keys without affecting the internal audio signals. To move from normal mode to check mode, press the CHECK switch in the scene memory section.
Verifying a scene before you recall
(Check mode)
1. If the M3000 is in normal mode, press the scene memory section CHECK switch.
The CHECK switch LED will light, and the M3000 will enter check mode.
2. Use the scene memory section ▲ / ▼ switches or the 0–9/ENTER buttons to make the MEMORY display indicate the scene number that you wish to check. (If you use the 0–9 buttons to change the number, your selection will not be finalized until you press the ENTER button.)
The CHECK indicators of the input channels, mix section, and STEREO A section will indicate the on
(lit)/off (dark) status of that scene. This allows you to verify the settings of each channel before actually recalling that scene.
3. To recall the selected scene, press the RECALL switch.
The scene will be recalled, and you will simultaneously exit check mode and return to normal mode.
(In this case, the operation of step 4 is not necessary.)
4. To exit check mode without changing the scene, press the CHECK switch once again.
The M3000 will return to normal mode, and the
CHECK indicator will go dark.
Note: Check mode cannot be used together with the DIRECT RECALL 1–8 switches. When the
M3000 is in check mode, pressing a DIRECT
RECALL 1–8 switch will cause the corresponding scene to be recalled immediately, and the M3000 will forcibly return to normal mode.
About the Scene Memory function
Storing after editing a scene (Check mode)
In check mode, you can edit the on/off state of the
ON/EDIT switches without affecting the actual on/off settings. This is convenient when you wish to store a scene for later use while maintaining the current on/ off settings.
1. When the M3000 is in normal mode, press the scene memory section CHECK switch.
The CHECK switch LED will light, and the M3000 will enter check mode.
2. Use the ▲ / ▼ switches of the scene memory section to make the MEMORY display indicate the scene number for the desired storing destination.
The CHECK indicators of the input channels, mix section, and STEREO A section will be lit or dark to indicate the on/off status of that scene.
3. Use the CHECK indicator ON/EDIT switches of the input channels, mix sections, and STEREO A section to edit the on/off state.
In check mode, the ON/EDIT switches will edit the on/off state of the scene, but will not affect the actual on/off state. If even one point of the on/off state of the scene is modified, a decimal point will light in the lower right of the MEMORY display.
4. To store the edited on/off settings in the scene, press the STORE switch twice.
In check mode, the STORE switch functions in the same way as in normal mode. You can cancel the Store operation by pressing a different switch before pressing the STORE switch the second time.
5. To exit check mode, press the CHECK switch once again. Alternatively, you can recall the scene that you stored.
The M3000 will return to normal mode, and the
CHECK indicator will go dark.

About the Scene Memory function
Operations in utility mode
In utility mode you can modify various settings related to scene memory operations. Operations such as Bulk Out and Bulk Dump Request are also performed in this mode.
Basic operation in utility mode
1. When the M3000 is in normal mode, press and immediately release the scene memory section
UTILITY switch.
The UTILITY switch indicator will light, and the
M3000 will enter utility mode. At this time, the MEM-
ORY display will alternately show the currently selected utility item and the current parameter value.
Note: If you continue holding the UTILITY switch for approximately one second or longer, you will exit utility mode and return to normal mode.
2. Press the UTILITY switch repeatedly until the desired item appears in the MEMORY display.
For the available items, refer to the section “Utility items” below.
3. Use the scene memory section ▲ / ▼ switches to modify the setting of the currently selected item.
For the available values of each item, refer to the section “Utility items” below.
• If you select Bulk Out or Bulk Dump Request parameters, or if you select the Memory Initialize parameter, the function will be executed when you press the
STORE switch.
4. To exit utility mode, press and hold the UTILITY switch for one second or longer.
The M3000 will return to normal mode. If the display shows “ ” (bulk request), you can also return to normal mode by pressing the UTILITY switch once again.
Utility items
Utility mode includes the following items and parameter settings.
Utility item Parameter values
(battery check)........... *.* (*.* is voltage value)
This indicates the voltage of the internal battery. If the voltage drops to 2.5V or less, the indicator will show
“ ” and the voltage alternately. If an abnormal voltage occurs, the indicator will show “ ” and “ ” alternately. If either of these displays appears, immediately contact your dealer or a Yamaha service center to have the battery replaced.
(memory protect) ............................... on/oFF
This is a memory protect function to prevent important data from being overwritten. When this is turned on, it will not be possible to modify or save scene data.
Also, even if a bulk dump is received from an external
MIDI device, the contents of memory will not be rewritten.
(recall operation) .............................. dir/GrP
This changes the operation of the DIRECT RECALL
1–8 switches. When this is set to “ ,” the DIRECT
RECALL 1–8 switches will function as direct recall switches which directly recall memory numbers 1–8.
When this is set to “ ,” the DIRECT RECALL 1–8 switches will function as mute group switches to add/ defeat mute groups 1–8. (For details on mute groups,
(memory initialize) ....................... ALL/1–128
This erases all scene memories (ALL) or an individual scene memory (1–128). After selecting “ ” or “ ”
~ “ ,” press the STORE switch to erase the specified scene memory(s). Be aware that once a scene memory is erased, it cannot be recovered.
(MIDI channel) ...................................... 1–16
This specifies the MIDI channel on which MIDI messages will be transmitted and received via the MIDI
IN/OUT connectors.
(program change transmission/reception)
........................................................ oFF/on/LoC
This specifies whether or not program changes will be transmitted and received via the MIDI IN/OUT connectors. If this is set to “ ,” program changes will not be transmitted or received. If this is set to “ ,” program changes 0–127 received from an external device will select scenes 1–128 that were saved in the
M3000’s scene memory. (However if the oP parameter is set to “ ,” incoming program changes 0–7 will be ignored.) Also, when a scene for which data has been saved is recalled by an operation on the M3000, the cor-
responding program change message will be transmitted. If this is set to “ ” (local), the corresponding program change will be transmitted even when you select a scene for which data has not been saved, thus allowing you to select programs on an external device.
(control change transmission/reception)
....................................................... oFF/GrP/on
This specifies whether or not control change messages will be transmitted and received via MIDI IN/OUT. If this is set to “ ,” control change messages will not be transmitted or received. If this is set to “ ,” control changes 1–104 received from an external device will switch the corresponding channel on/off. (If mute groups can be used, control changes 105–112 can also be used to switch mute groups 1–8 on/off.) Also, when the ON/EDIT switches of the M3000 are operated, the corresponding control change will be transmitted. If this is set to “ ,” only control change numbers (105–112) which correspond to mute groups will be transmitted.
(program change reception omni on/off)
...............................................................on/oFF
This specifies whether or not the MIDI channel specified by the CH (MIDI channel) parameter will be valid. When this setting is “ ,” program changes will be received on all MIDI channels. When this setting is
“ ,” program changes will be received only on the
MIDI channel specified by the CH (MIDI channel) parameter.
(echo back) ........................................on/oFF
When this parameter is “ ,” messages received at the
MIDI IN connector will be retransmitted from the
MIDI OUT connector.
However if a bulk dump request is received, bulk dump data will be output, and the bulk dump request message itself will not be retransmitted (echoed).
(bulk out) .....................................ALL/1–128
This operation transmits all scene memories (ALL) or a specified scene memory (1–128) as MIDI bulk dump data from the MIDI OUT connector. Select
“ ” or “ ” ~ “ ” and then press the STORE switch to begin transmission. During transmission, the display will indicate “ .”
(bulk dump request) .....................ALL/1–128
This operation transmits a request for a bulk dump from the MIDI OUT connector. If the respective
MIDI IN/OUT connectors of two M3000 units are connected, such a request will cause all scene memories (ALL) or the specified scene memory (1–128) of the other M3000 to overwrite the scene memory (or memories) of this M3000. After selecting “
“ ” ~ “
” or
,” press the STORE switch to transmit the bulk dump request MIDI message.
About the Scene Memory function
Control change table
The following table shows the M3000 channel/bus to which each control number is assigned. If the CC
(control change) item is turned ON in utility mode, a control change message with a value of 127 received from an external device will turn on the corresponding channel/bus, and a control change message with a value of 0 will turn it off. In the same way, operating the ON/EDIT switches of the M3000 will transmit the corresponding control change message from the
MIDI OUT connector.
Also, if mute groups can be used (refer to page 36),
control change numbers 105–112 can be used to switch mute groups 1–8 on/off.

Using mute groups
When the utility mode oP (recall operation) parameter is set to “
” (refer to page 34), the DIRECT
RECALL 1–8 switches will function as “mute group” switches, and the scenes of memory numbers 1–8 can be used as mute groups. If two or more DIRECT
RECALL switches are turned on, channels or buses which are off (muted) in the corresponding scenes will be turned off (while the ON status stored in these scenes is ignored).
The following diagram shows the difference in operation between when the oP parameter is set to “
(direct recall) and “ ” (Mute group). If the oP
” parameter is set to “ ,” recalling a new scene will cause the channels or buses to be switched on/off according to the settings saved in that scene. In contrast if this parameter is set to “ ,” two or more
DIRECT RECALL 1–8 switches can be turned on, and all channels or buses which are muted (off) in any of the mute groups will be muted.

Adding/defeating mute groups
1. Store the channel or bus mute settings that you wish to use as a mute group in a memory number 1–8.
2. In utility mode, select the oP (recall operation) item, and switch the display to “ .” (For
3. Either press and hold the UTILITY switch for one second or more, or press the UTILITY switch repeatedly to return to normal mode.
Even if the Utility mode item oP is set to “ ,” you can edit scenes 1–8 either by using the 0–9/ENTER buttons to specify the scene number or by entering check mode.
4. Press a DIRECT RECALL 1–8 switch.
The corresponding mute group will become active, and the channels or buses which are turned off
(muted) in that scene will be muted.
5. As desired, press other DIRECT RECALL 1–8 switches.
Mute groups will be added, and channels or buses which are turned off (muted) on those scenes will be muted.
About the Scene Memory function
6. If you wish to defeat a mute group, press the corresponding DIRECT RECALL 1–8 switch.
The mute group will be canceled.
Note:
• The mute settings used in a mute group are the same as the on/off settings of the scenes stored in memory numbers 1–8.
• Even while using mute groups, you can use the
▲/▼ switches or 0–9/ENTER buttons to recall memory numbers 9–128. However in this case, the currently-muted channels or buses will not change until you defeat the applicable mute groups.
• If you use the 0–9/ENTER buttons to recall memory number 129 (all on) or 130 (all off), the mute group settings of the DIRECT
RECALL 1–8 switches will be defeated.
About the local control circuit
If an error occurs in the system of the M3000, the on/ off control of each input channel and bus will automatically switch from the scene memory circuit to the local control circuit, allowing you to operate the
M3000 like a conventional analog mixer. In this case, the ON/EDIT switch of each input channel or mix channel will function like a conventional ON/OFF
(mute) switch. However, the MEMORY display will go dark, and the switches for the Scene Memory functionality cannot be operated.
Note: If the cause of the system error lies in the power supply, it may not be possible to use the local control circuit either.

About the VCA functionality
The VCA master section of the M3000 contains eight
VCA master faders. These VCA master faders 1–8 can be used to control the overall input level of input channels assigned to the corresponding VCA groups
1–8.

Basic function of the VCA master faders
The VCA master faders control the gain of the prefader signal of input channels which are assigned to the corresponding VCA group. The following diagram shows the flow of audio signals and control signals
(CV) when input channel 1 is assigned to VCA group
1.
Audio signals
Control signals
• When the VCA MUTE switch of a VCA master fader is turned on (the indicator beside the switch will be lit), no control signal will be sent from that VCA master fader, and the post-fader signal of input channels assigned to that VCA group will be muted.
Using a single VCA master fader to control multiple channels
If two or more channels are assigned to the same VCA group, you can use a single VCA master fader to control them. The following diagram shows an example of the signal flow when VCA GROUP select switch 1 is turned on for input channels 1, 5, and 16.

• The gain of an input channel which is assigned to a
VCA group can be controlled both by the channel fader and by the VCA master fader. For example if the channel fader is set to 0 dB and the VCA master fader is set to –10 dB, the gain will be 0 dB + (–10 dB) = –10 dB.
• When you operate a VCA master fader, it will affect all
MIX buses (except for MIX buses set to pre-fader), matrix, and STEREO bus to which a signal is being sent from the corresponding channel.
• When a VCA master fader is in the 0 dB position (the
NOMINAL indicator of that fader will be lit) it is in unity gain, and that VCA will produce no boost or cut.
VCA MASTER
FADER 1
• If two or more input channels are assigned to a VCA group, the gain of each channel can be controlled both by the channel fader and by the VCA master fader.
• When you operate a VCA master fader, it will affect all
MIX buses (except for MIX buses set to pre-fader), matrix, and STEREO buses to which the input channel assigned to that VCA group is being sent.
• When a VCA master fader is in the 0 dB position (the
NOMINAL indicator of that fader will be lit) it is in unity gain, and that VCA will produce no boost or cut.
• When the VCA MUTE switch of a VCA master fader is turned on (the indicator beside the switch will be lit), the post-fader signal of all input channels assigned to that VCA group will be muted.
Using two or more VCA master faders to control a single channel
As the opposite of the example on the previous page, it is also possible to assign a channel to two or more
VCA groups. The following diagram shows an example of signal flow when channel 1 is assigned to VCA groups 1, 5, and 8.

• If an input channel is assigned to two or more VCA groups, the gain of that channel can be controlled both by the channel fader and by the corresponding
VCA master faders. For example if the channel fader is set to 0 dB and VCA master faders 1, 5, and 8 are respectively set to -10 dB, the gain will be 0 dB + (–10 dB) + (–10 dB) + (–10 dB) = –30 dB. However the control signal from the VCA is limited so that the gain will not exceed +20 dB at maximum.
• Operating any of the VCA master faders to which the input channel is assigned will affect the MIX buses
(except for MIX buses set to pre-fader), matrix, and
STEREO buses to which the signal of that channel is being sent.
• If the VCA MUTE switch of the VCA master fader is turned on (the indicator beside the switch will be lit), the post-fader signal of all input channels assigned to that VCA group will be muted. This is convenient when you wish to mute/un-mute multiple channels without operating the fader.
• The VCA of the input channel is supplied with a signal which sums the control signals from all corresponding
VCA master faders. If a VCA master fader is in the 0 dB position (the NOMINAL indicator of that fader will be lit), the gain will be unity, and that VCA will produce no boost or cut.
About the VCA functionality
Using multiple VCA master faders to control multiple channels (overlapping
VCA)
In sound reinforcement mixing it is often necessary to mix the same inputs at different levels as the on-stage performance progresses. In such situations, you can assign multiple input channels to multiple VCA groups (this is referred to as “overlapping VCA”), and control most levels using only the eight VCA master faders.
The following diagram is an example of multiple input channels being controlled by multiple VCA master faders; VCA master fader 1 controls the drums and bass of inputs 1–3, VCA master fader 2 controls the piano and synth of inputs 4–7, and so on.

VCA MASTER
faders
Even in this case, you will use the mix section or matrix section to specify the output mix and the output destination speakers, but you can perform most of the actual level changes using only the VCA master faders; for example when you wish to raise or lower only the vocals you can use VCA master fader 5, and when you wish to control both vocals and chorus you can use VCA master fader 6.
• The gain of each channel can be controlled both by the channel fader and by the corresponding VCA master faders. For example in the above example if you set the channel faders for vocal 1/2 (inputs 10/11) to 0 dB, and set VCA master faders 5 and 6 to –5 dB respectively, the gain would be 0 dB + (–5 dB) + (–5 dB) = –10 dB.
• The faders of VCA groups which do not need to be adjusted must be set to unity gain (the 0 dB position).
(The NOMINAL indicator of these faders will light.)

About the VCA functionality
• If the VCA MUTE switch of a VCA master fader is turned on (the indicator beside the switch will light), the post-fader signal of all input channels assigned to that VCA group will be muted. This is convenient when you wish to simultaneously mute or un-mute multiple channels without operating the faders.
• By using this in conjunction with the Scene Memory function, you can also mute only specific inputs within a VCA group. In the above example, if you recall a scene in which chorus 1–3 (inputs 12–14) are turned off, chorus 1–3 will be muted from VCA groups 4, 6, and 8.
Error messages
One of the following error messages may appear in the MEMORY display while operating the M3000 or when the power is turned on. If this occurs, refer to the following explanations and take the appropriate action.
An error occurred while receiving MIDI data.
If an error occurs while received MIDI data, this error message will be displayed for several seconds.
While transmitting or receiving MIDI data, the memory buffer became full.
If the memory buffer becomes full while MIDI data is being transmitted or received, this error message will be displayed for several seconds. If this error is displayed while transmitting or receiving
MIDI data, turn the (MIDI echo back) parameter in Utility mode off (oFF).
Since memory protect is turned on, it is not possible to store data or receive a bulk dump.
This error message will be displayed for several seconds if you attempt to store into memory or receive a bulk dump when the memory is protected.
A check sum error has occurred during a bulk dump.
This error message will be displayed for several seconds if a check sum error occurs while receiving bulk dump MIDI data. Check the MIDI connections and whether the transmitting device is set appropriately.
*
The internal battery voltage has fallen below 2.5V or is an abnormal value (in this case the display will indicate “ ”).
This error message will be displayed when the power is turned on or when the Utility mode
(battery check) parameter is selected. If this message appears, contact your dealer or a Yamaha service center to have the battery replaced as soon as possible. If this error message appears when the power is turned on, press any switch to return to the normal display.
You attempted to recall a scene memory which contained no data.
This error message will be displayed for several seconds if the scene memory you attempted to recall contains no data.
There is no data in any scene memory.
This will be displayed if all scene memories have been erased in utility mode, or if the power was turned on in that condition and you attempted to store without specifying a number.
A system error has occurred.
If this error message appears, the M3000 will not function correctly. Contact a nearby Yamaha service center to have the unit repaired.

MIDI data format
1. MIDI Channel
The same channel is used for transmission and reception. Select from channel numbers 1–16.
2. MIDI Program Change
Program change numbers 0–127 correspond to Scene
Memory numbers 1–128. This correspondence cannot be changed. However when Mute Group is selected, program change numbers 0–7 cannot be transmitted or received. (Since memory numbers 1–8 will not correspond to program change numbers 0–
7.)
In the case of OMNI [on], program changes of all
MIDI channels are received.
Transmission/reception can be switched [LoC/on/ oFF]. When [LoC] is selected, program changes will be transmitted to control an external MIDI device even when a scene memory with no data is recalled.
3. MIDI Control Change
Control change messages correspond to the various
ON/EDIT switches and to the DIRECT RECALL switches. This correspondence cannot be changed.
However, control change numbers 105–112 correspond to the DIRECT RECALL 1–8 switches only when MUTE GROUP is selected.
Transmission/reception can be switched [on/GrP/ oFF]. When [GrP] is selected, only control change messages corresponding to mute groups will be transmitted or received.
