Bays
A channel strip section of 12 faders together with their touch screen section is called a “bay.”
The CS-R10 contains three bays; the CS-R10-S contains two bays. You can control these bays
independently.
About RIVAGE PM10 Editor
This Windows application software enables you to access the same functions that are available on
the control surface. You can use your computer to perform off-line editing by preparing the RIVAGE
PM10 system settings in advance, and to monitor and adjust those settings (on-line monitoring/
operation).
You can connect a computer with RIVAGE PM10 Editor installed (called PM10 Editor elsewhere in
this book) to a DSP engine or a control surface. If you connect it to a DSP engine, you can control
the entire system without a control surface. Therefore, in the event that the control surface
encounters a problem, you can still use your computer as a backup.
Details about the software are available on the following Yamaha Pro Audio website:
http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/
For information regarding how to download or install Editor, as well as its various setting details,
refer to the website listed above or to the Installation Guide attached to the downloaded software
program.

TWINLANe Network TWINLANe network
12 RIVAGE PM10 Operation Manual
TWINLANe is a proprietary Yamaha network protocol for transferring multiple channels of digital
audio and control signals simultaneously over a single cable.
TWINLANe allows low-latency transfer of up to 400 audio channels, and enables sharing between
all devices on the network. Input signals can also be shared between multiple DSP engines.
Ring topology allows redundancy that will keep the network running even if a cable fails.
TWINLANe network
* If the number of connected devices is much larger, or if the total length of all cables is too long, the listed
value may not apply.
NOTE
Use Neutrik opticalCON DUO multi-mode optical fiber cables. Optical fiber cable is easily damaged by
bending and pulling. Using cable that has a locking mechanism and strong insulation can help to reduce
trouble.
Connecting a TWINLANe network card
The TWINLANe network card can be used with the RIVAGE PM10 system.
To connect devices, first install a TWINLANe network card in an HY card slot of each device, then
use fiber optic cables to connect the TWINLANe network cards in a ring network topology.
NOTE
• Do not install both an HY256-TL-SMF and HY256-TL cards on a TWINLANe network.
•If you use an HY256-TL-SMF card, make sure that the total length of all cables is 6km or less.

About Connections
16 RIVAGE PM10 Operation Manual
The diagram below shows typical connections for the RIVAGE PM10 system. Equipment can be
combined in various ways to construct small systems or large systems.
• Connecting the control surface and DSP engine (Console Network)
A DSP engine (DSP-R10) has a dedicated connector (TO CONSOLE) for connection to the control
surface (CS-R10, CS-R10-S). You can connect a single control surface to one DSP engine. A network
created by the control surface and a DSP engine is called a “Console Network.” The Console
Network is connected as a ring. This provides redundancy for both audio signals and control signals.
• Connection between DSP engines and I/O racks (I/O Network)
A DSP engine and an I/O rack (RPio622, RPio222) are connected via a TWINLANe network, using
HY card slot 1. A network created by a DSP engine and an I/O rack is called an “I/O Network.”
The I/O Network is connected as a ring. One ring can connect up to two DSP engines and up to
eight I/O racks.
About the HY card slots
1HY card slot 1 of the DSP engine is only for a TWINLANe network card. HY card slot 4 is used
for multi-track recording exclusively. HY card slot 3 can be used as general-purpose I/O. HY
card slot 2 will be supported in the future. Each HY card slot 1 – 4 is 256-in/out.
2HY card slot 1 of the I/O rack is only for a TWINLANe network card. HY card slot 2 can be used
as general-purpose I/O. HY card slot 1 is 256-in/out, and HY card slot 2 is 128-in/out.

Connecting a Computer
17 RIVAGE PM10 Operation Manual
You can connect a computer with PM10 Editor installed to a DSP engine. To do so, connect the
computer to the NETWORK connector [PC] located next to the TO CONSOLE IN connector. Do
not connect it to the NETWORK connector located above the HY card slots.
Alternatively, you can use the NETWORK connector on the control surface. However, in this case,
please note that the computer will be unable to communicate with the DSP engine if the power to
the control surface is turned off.
NOTE
You can use only one instance of PM10 Editor per system. Do not connect two or more computers to
the system.

Word Clock
18 RIVAGE PM10 Operation Manual
Word clock in the RIVAGE PM10 system
On a TWINLANe network, only one DSP engine is the master for one network. If two DSP engines
exist on one network, one is the master and the other is the slave.
The master clock on a TWINLANe network can be one of the following two choices: the DSP
engine’s internal clock (44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz) or the external clock that is input to the
WORD CLOCK IN connector on the rear panel of the master DSP engine.
Since the slave DSP engine uses the word clock that is being sent over the TWINLANe network, HY
SLOT 1 is selected. If the clock is interrupted for any reason, the slave DSP engine can become a
substitute master. Since I/O racks always use the word clock that is being sent over the TWINLANe
network, there is no need to specify their word clock source.
About the sampling rate converter (SRC)
SRC is built into all input and output channels (one SRC for every two channels) of the AES/EBU
jacks on the rear panel of the control surface and of the RY16-AE. This allows digital signals that are
not synchronized to the RIVAGE PM10 system to be input and output.
SRC block diagram
The input SRC converts the signal to the system clock of the RIVAGE PM10 system.
The output SRC converts the signal to the specified internal clock source or to the same clock as the
input of the same channel.
* Only the corresponding input channels can be selected (if OUT1/2, then IN1/2). For example, IN7/8
cannot be used for OUT1/2.

1ANALOG INPUT GAIN
This is the analog gain of the head amp.
2Silk
Allows you to add a natural sense of audio transformer compression and saturation.
This enhances the sense of depth and space, freshening the sound.
You can control the brilliance or power.
3GAIN COMPENSATION
Switches the gain compensation on or off for that channel.
If this is on, the signal level that is output from the I/O rack to the audio network (slot) remains
constant even if the HA analog gain is adjusted.
4Ø
Reverses the phase of the input signal.
5M/S DECODE
An M/S decoder is built in.
The M/S decoder is provided for adjacent odd- and even-numbered channels.

About “Silk”
Silk uses proprietary Yamaha “VCM technology” digital signal processing to faithfully
replicate the “Silk” processing that is built into numerous high-end analog audio devices
developed, manufactured, and sold by Rupert Neve Designs.
Based on the natural compression and saturation of audio transformers, a matter about which
Rupert Neve is especially passionate, the user can choose one of two characters, “Blue” or
“Red,” and use a continuously-variable “Texture” knob that allows effective control over the
tone and the accompanying overtones.
Silk allows effects such as the following.
• In addition to adding power and brilliance, you can recover the sense of air that tends to be
lost in the mix.

• The graceful and solid tone characteristic of an analog console can be obtained.
• Breathing and subtle pianissimos can be expressed in a lifelike way.
• Channel EQ and reverb become more effective.
• If this is used only on a small number of important channels, those parts will stand out from
the mix.
• If this is used on all channels, the mix will be given depth and three-dimensional character.
Red: Bright and lively
Blue: Rich and powerful
About the “Hybrid Mic Preamp” concept
This is a revolutionary mic preamp that uses digital signal processing to model and combine
the ultra-high-quality analog mic preamp representing the pinnacle of Yamaha’s “natural
sound” philosophy with Rupert Neve Designs’ “Silk” processing that allows you to freely
control the sound’s “depth, space, and air.” In the RIVAGE PM10 system, this is provided as
standard on the RY16-ML-SILK and on all the OMNI INPUT channels on the rear panel of
the CS-R10.
About gain compensation
The HA analog gain of the I/O rack can be controlled by the gain knob of the control surface,
but normally this will also change the input level to another DSP engine or recording device
that shares the input.
However if gain compensation is used to fix the gain within the I/O rack, the signal level that
is output to the audio network is kept constant. In other words, raising (or lowering) the
analog gain causes the compensation gain within the I/O rack to decrease (or increase).
Because the mixing input level can be operated using the digital gain within the DSP engine,
this allows the input level to be optimal for various routes used for different purposes.
Even if you turn gain compensation off again, the analog gain and compensation gain will
return to the settings they had when gain compensation was turned on, so the signal level that
is output to the audio network will not change.
In this way, you can adjust the analog gain for the optimal S/N ratio and use the digital gain to
adjust the input level independently.
