DM7 Series Training Video #2: A Guide Through the GUI

We’ve already taken a tour of the hardware of the Yamaha DM7 series. Now we have a guide through the on-screen GUI. The screens are 12.1 inches: big, bright and beautiful. There are some similarities with Yamaha’s RIVAGE PM systems, and also with CL & QL series digital mixers. Yet there are also some unique features, such as the 7-inch Utility screen. Learn how to navigate the menus and find some neat short-cuts.

We just purchased a DM7C and rio racks - I'm quite concerned at the screen lag though after seeing this - Yamaha, is this something that will be improved over time? We have behringer desks that are much more fluid than this, and they cost a fraction of the price.

[@Toby2hoch10]

I dont know if DM7 and DM7c have the same DSP inside. But if so, it would be fantastic to be able to buy more input channels for the DM7c as an software extension package.

1:32 and 1:36 excuse me WHAT WAS THAT DELAY?! Waiting 1 second to change layer is totally unacceptable on device with this pricepoint! Especially when other UI elements seems to be ok in terms of delay (not perfect... still could be faster, but there's noticeable difference!)

[@Zamsky39]

Disappointing

[@soundman1402]

I noticed that, too. My 10-year-old M32R, at 1/10th the price, changes fader layers essentially instantly. A console of this echelon should do so, as well. I would hope Yamaha's working on a firmware update to enhance performance in this area.

[@MichaelHardee-i2v]

That is the #1 reason why I am hesitant to purchase this console.

[@fitdin]

amazing Yamaha Mixer

[@Blackhawk40k]

One thing that I had hoped they implemented from the Rivage series is the ability to have some inserts as pre eq/dynamic & some to be post per channel. Maybe in a future update.

[@calderwood9641]

Is Yamaha releasing a meter bridge for the DM7 series?

[@higltypig]

I have the dm3 which also suffers from a laggy screen. Using an ipad over network is however very responsive. Stop saving money on things which are really important Yamaha! (External power supply too...pfff)

[@Zamsky39]

Yeah, it's very disappointing. I'm considering buying it when it comes out but that lag would be a deal breaker if they don't fix it.

[@roberthoman6278]

I was seriously interested in buying a DM3, but if it responds the same way as the console in this video, I'll pass...

[@jok3r1981]

Yamaha is giving away a free console to anyone who can watch this video in its entirety without falling asleep.

[@scottfahy5468]

I just ran into these training videos and realized they work great to help me fall asleep!!!

[@lucasetten]

Where can I download DM7 Editor?

[@Zamsky39]

It's not out yet.

[@codenasher161]

Where is Dugan Auto Mixer?

[@elkaiser213]

man, I have to put this video on 2x to make it sound at normal pace ...

[@Frank6thAvenue]

Unbelieveäble delay between pushing a button and getting a result. I guess it is a fantastic console... but I always think, it´s broken, because of this delay

[@JoseLastrak]

They need to solve this lag problem asap in a new firmware Actually is a great console concept and have an excellent array of functionality in a compact form, with a good price point etc... But, unfortunately ,it's a terrible performer in a live situation with this big lag problem. A big same

[@raphaelbardin9175]

wtf is that touch screen lag?! and no meters on faders, sad...

[@robertlewis4216]

I'd hate to have to work through the instruction manual for one of these

[@Sportbrille]

Nice console. But that laggy screen will make it unusable in the real world...

[@bringurownvibe]

Kinda hate how touchscreen reliant this is.

[@aa1bb2cc3dd4]

Bro chill

[@Guitarune]

Yeah...UI response lag is such a disappointment.

[@roberthoman6278]

Apperently this dude has no problem whatsoever with the ridiculous amount of time the screens take to respond. But why would he, Yamaha is paying the bills ;-) Come on, this is completely useless in a live environment. Waiting for a layer change for more than a second???

[@elkaiser213]

the dude has no problem with time ... can you hear the speed he talks ? ...

[@elkaiser213]

maybe the mixer is waiting for him to finish a sentence
