TWINLANe Network TWINLANe network
10 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 over distances up to 300 meters
between devices via multi-mode optical fiber cable, 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 HY256-TL 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.

About Connections
14 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). 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) 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 two
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.

Word Clock
15 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.
5MS-DECODE
An MS decoder is built in.
The MS 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.

•HPF
The slope of the high-pass filter can be specified as -6 dB/oct, -12 dB/oct, -18 dB/oct, and -24
dB/oct.
•LPF
The slope of the low-pass filter can be specified as -6 dB/oct or -12 dB/oct.
4EQ
This is a four-band parametric EQ.
•4BANDPEQ
The following EQ types can be selected: PRECISE, AGGRESSIVE, SMOOTH, or LEGACY.
Two sets of EQ parameter settings (A and B) can be saved for convenient comparison. The
FREQUENCY parameter of each band is normally set in 1/12 octave steps, but if you need
more precise adjustment, you can set it in 1/24 octave steps. The two bands LOW and HIGH
can be switched to L SHELF (Low Shelving) and H SHELF (High Shelving) respectively.

PRECISE This EQ strives for ultimate precision and controllability. It enables you to
adjust the target point precisely, and flexibly satisfies various requirements
for sound making. Low/High Shelving filters feature a “Q” parameter, which
enables you to adjust the knee characteristics.
AGGRESSIVE This EQ is musical and effective.
It enables you to add a powerful, creative edge and serves as a powerful
tool for artistic expression.
SMOOTH This EQ focuses on smooth sound qualities.
It contributes to a natural sound without changing the atmosphere of the
original.
LEGACY This is the standard EQ that has been provided on Yamaha digital mixers
since the PM1D and PM5D.

5DYNAMICS
Two dynamics processor modules are provided: Dynamics 1 and Dynamics 2. To each module
you can assign one of six types of function such as GATE or COMP. Two types of compressor are
provided: LEGACY COMP and COMP 260. Two sets of dynamics parameter settings (A and B)
can be saved for convenient comparison.
The available dynamics types include:
• KEY IN SOURCE
Selects the source of the key-in signal.
In addition to SELF, the key-in signal can also be selected directly from another channel or
input patch.
6INSERT
Two inserts are provided: Insert 1 and Insert 2. In each insert, you can insert up to four plug-ins/
GEQ/PEQ/external devices (via the I/O jacks). Each insert point can be selected independently
for INSERT 1 and INSERT 2.
7DELAY
Up to 1000 msec of delay is provided on each channel. You can freely select the delay insert
point. You can select the delay time unit from the following: meter, feet, sample, msec, frame,
depending on your application.
8DIRECT OUT
• DIRECT OUT POINT
For each channel, a variety of points can be selected as the signal that is output to direct out.
• DIRECT OUT LEVEL
For each channel, sets the output level of direct out.
9INPUT TO MIX/INPUT TO MATIRX
A signal can be sent from the input channel to MIX buses 1 – 72. In addition to the conventional
MIX sends, there are also direct sends to MATRIX buses 1 – 36, so by using these together you
can use them as up to 108 mix buses.
LEGACY COMP This is the standard compressor that has been provided on Yamaha
digital mixers since the PM1D and PM5D.
COMP 260 This is an analog-flavored compressor built using Yamaha’s proprietary
VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) technology. It emulates the
characteristics of compressors and limiters of the mid-1970s, which are
now a standard for live sound reinforcement. This compressor has
faithfully modeled the VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) circuit and the
RMS (Root Mean Square) detection circuit. Compression curve (Knee)
can be set to Hard, Medium, or Soft. Although the attack/release times
can also be adjusted, the preset settings reproduce the fixed response of
the original unit being modeled. Designed under the supervision of top SR
engineers, the parameter effects have been optimized for live sound
reinforcement.
GATE This dynamics type reduces the output by a fixed value (RANGE) when a
signal smaller than the THRESHOLD level is input.
DE-ESSER This dynamics type detects only the sibilants and other high-frequency
consonants of the vocal, and compresses its bandwidth.
EXPANDER This dynamics type reduces the output by a fixed ratio (RATIO) when a
signal smaller than the THRESHOLD level is input.
DUCKING This dynamics type reduces the output by a fixed value (RANGE) when a
signal greater than the THRESHOLD level is input. This is effective if you
want to lower the volume level of background music using the KEY IN
SOURCE signal.

•SendPoint
This allows you to flexibly select the send point for each channel.
)PAN L IN K
With this setting, the signal sent from an input channel to the MIX/MATRIX bus can be made
to follow the PAN of the STEREO bus send regardless of the send point.
Pair setting
Adjacent channels can be paired and used as a stereo module. Either odd-numbered/even-
numbered channels or even-numbered/odd-numbered channels can be specified as a combination.
For a conventional input channel (monaural), the level response of its pan control will be nominal at
center and +3 dB at far left or right.
If channels are paired, the level response of their balance will be nominal at center and +3 dB at far
left or right.
If two channels are paired, all of their parameters except for delay are linked.
