The new Yamaha 01V96i
Yamaha launches the new 01V96i digital mixing console with cutting edge technologies that takes both mixing and recording to the next level. Building on the proven configuration of its predecessors, the new 01V96i now offers USB 2.0 connectivity along with new multi-track recording features and improved sonic quality.
Full suite of Yamaha VCM Effects and high resolution REV-X reverbs
Yamaha's acclaimed Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) technology offers you an impressive array of tonal colors, bringing the richness and warmth of analog sound to a digital recording environment. Miles ahead of other digital simulations of analog equipment, VCM plug-ins model the actual circuitry of the original effects units, right down to the last resistor and capacitor. In fact, the very same VCM effects and REV-X reverbs used with Yamaha’s top-of-the-line professional mixers now all come as standard, pre-installed and ready to use, so that you can enjoy warm, high quality analog sound without having to transport delicate outboard gear.

High quality multi-track recording and playback via USB 2.0 connection
The demand for multi-track recording in live sound applications growing, and the 01V96i now features 16 in/16 out USB audio streaming at an impressive 96kHz, as well as multi-channel in/out via expansion card or ADAT. The addition of USB 2.0 makes high quality multi-track recording and playback faster and easier than ever, while providing full integration with every major ASIO and Core Audio DAW software—all with just a single connection. The 01V96 also comes bundled with the latest version of Steinberg’s Cubase AI, offering a comprehensive range of tools for recording, editing and mixing, and an intuitive interface that allows you to seamlessly execute every step of the recording process.
