The DME32 in a Nutshell 3 scenes, and recalling configurations. Direct access to a specific parameter is possible by assigning it to the [USER DEFINE] button. The large, two-digit scene number display indicates the current scene, while the 48-character LCD displays configuration and scene titles, component and parameter names, parameter values, and so on. Unauthorized operation can be prevented by using the password protection. The DME32 offers 32 inputs and 32 outputs via four mini YGDAI card slots. Optional mini YGDAI (Yamaha General Digital Audio Interface) cards offer a variety of analog and digital I/O configurations, with support for all the popular digital audio interconnect formats, including AES/EBU, ADAT, and Tascam TDIF-1. Inputs and outputs can be expanded in multiples of 32 by cascading additional DME32s. Up to four DME32s can be cascaded, providing a maximum of 128 inputs and 128 outputs. Cascade components offer bus-like signal distribution in multiple-unit systems and can also be used for DSP power sharing between DME32s. Superb sonic performance is achieved using 32-bit internal signal processing and a 48 kHz internal sampling rate. External sampling rates of between 39.69 kHz to 50.88 kHz are supported and can be set individually for each configuration. Remote interaction between DME32 functions and custom-made controllers and other equipment is possible using MIDI and the GPI interface, which offers 16 assignable inputs and 16 assignable outputs. Scenes and configurations can be recalled using MIDI Program Change messages or the GPI interface. Component parameters can be controlled by using MIDI Control Change messages, System Exclusive messages, or custom-made controllers attached to the GPI interface.
