2 - Introduction Introduction With its high-quality 20-bit sound, the Yamaha D5000 Professional Digital Delay is the perfect choice for studio and sound reinforcement applications. It has four types of effect programs: DUAL (stereo) delay, SINGLE (mono) delay, FREEZE record and playback, and S&H (sample and hold) playback. The large amount of memory allows it to create delay lines or record samples of up to 10 seconds in duration.
Precautions - 3 Precautions Avoid excessive heat, humidity, dust, and vibration Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to high temperatures or humidity - such as near radiators, stoves, in direct sunlight, etc. Avoid locations which are subject to excessive dirt accumulation. Extreme vibrations can cause mechanical damage. Avoid physical shocks Strong physical shocks can damage the unit. Handle it with care.

6 - System structure System structure The D5000 has three operational modes: • Program Select Mode - Use this mode to STORE and RECALL programs. • Parameter Edit Mode - This mode allows you to edit the various operational parameters, the DELAY/FREEZE parameters, the FB (feedback) parameters, the MOD (modulation) parameters, and the DUCK parameters. The Parameter Edit Mode performs differently according to which program type is active. DUAL (stereo) and SINGLE (mono) programs are delay programs.
Program Select Mode - 7 Program Select Mode About the programs of the D5000 The D5000 has 100 user programs. All of the programs are user-programmable. There are four types of programs available: • DUAL (stereo) Delay (refer to the diagram on page 100) There are two delay units (A-channel and B-channel) and three taps for each unit. Create a flanger or chorus in perfect stereo, or a ping-pong (channel-to-channel) delay. • SINGLE (mono) Delay This is a single delay with six taps.
8 - Program Select Mode Press the [ > ] "RECALL" CURSOR key. If you have not made any changes to the previous settings, it will be replaced with the new program. If you have made changes to the previous settings without storing them, the unit will additionally display the message "Are you sure?" on the LCD. Press the [ > ] "RECALL" CURSOR key again to complete your selection. The previous program will be replaced with the new program.
Parameter Edit Mode - 9 Parameter Edit Mode The D5000 has four types of effect program. The first two are high-quality, multi-tap digital delays, either DUAL (stereo) or SINGLE (mono). The other two are sampling/playback recorder programs. Editing a delay program To edit a delay program, press one of the PARAMETER keys, [ DELAY ] , [ FB ] , [ MOD ] , or [ DUCK ] . The first step is usually to select the main delay parameters by pressing the [ DELAY ] key. The D5000 features multi-tap delays.
10 - Parameter Edit Mode TEMPO = (25 ~ 250 beats per minute). Select one of the 3 3 following for the Note parameter: , , , 3 3 , , , , , , , , , , , or . 30FRAME SINGLE (~ 10 s 12 f 00 b) or DUAL (~ 5 s 6 f 00 b). 25FRAME SINGLE (~ 10 s 10 f 00 b) or DUAL (~ 5 s 5 f 00 b). 24FRAME SINGLE (~ 10 s 9 f 48 b) or DUAL (~ 5 s 4 f 64 b). LVL (0 ~ 100%) Set the level of the delay tap. PAN (L16 ~ L=R ~ R16) Set the stereo pan position of the delay tap in one of 33 steps.
Parameter Edit Mode - 11 Page 2 parameters INPUT MODE (STEREO/ L-MONO) Set the input mix mode. The following diagram illustrates the different INPUT MODE options.

DISPLAY UNIT (units) Select the unit that will be used to display the delay time.
12 - Parameter Edit Mode Press the [ DELAY ] key again to select the last display page. Use the [ < ] , [ ^ ] , [ > ] , and [ % ] CURSOR keys to move through the various parameters. Modify the parameter by rotating the DATA ENTRY encoder. Page 3: parameters Use the [ < ] and [ > ] CURSOR keys to move along the line of text. Change the letter under the cursor by rotating the DATA ENTRY encoder.
Parameter Edit Mode - 13 HPF (20 Hz ~ 4.0 kHz or THRU) Set the cutoff frequency for the high pass filter for the feedback loop. LPF (400 kHz ~ 20 kHz or THRU) Set the cutoff frequency for the low pass filter for the feedback loop. NOTE You should ensure the total value of the LVL parameter of each channel for a DUAL delay or all taps for a SINGLE delay is kept at or below 100. For example, if you have three taps active, set the values for each tap to 30.
14 - Parameter Edit Mode Ducking/gating the delay When you set ducking, the delay effect is only applied to the signal when the input level drops below the threshold you set. If you select the gate, the delay effect is applied to the signal when the control level exceeds the threshold. You can also use the [TRIGGER] key or a footswitch, or a MIDI Note Off/On message to trigger the duck/gate. Press the [ DUCK ] key to select DUCK. Use the [ ^ ] and [ % ] CURSOR keys to move through the various parameters.
Parameter Edit Mode - 15 of a DUCK) for a very short time. This can sound unnatural, especially if the GATE closes abruptly. There are two parameters which you can adjust, HOLD and RELEASE. By setting a long HOLD time, the gate can be kept open even after the signal has dropped below the threshold. The RELEASE parameter specifies the length of time it takes for the gate to close, causing the signal to gradually cut off.
16 - Parameter Edit Mode Editing a sampling/playback program To edit a sampling/playback program, press the [ DELAY ] key. FREEZE program The FREEZE program allows you to sample (digitally record) and playback sounds. You can record in stereo for a maximum of 5.2 seconds or in mono for a maximum of 10.4 seconds. For playback, you can adjust the pitch of the sample by up to ± two octaves. NOTE You cannot store the recorded sample.
Parameter Edit Mode - 17 AUTO MODE (RECORD/OVERDUB/ CAPTURE) TRG.DLY (-1000 ~ +1000 ms) TRG.DLY = 0 Press the [ TRIGGER ] key or step on a footswitch connected to the TRIGGER Footswitch Jack to put the D5000 in standby mode. Recording will start automatically when the input signal is higher than the specified threshold. Select a recording mode. RECORD Create a new recording. OVERDUB Combine the new recording with existing data.
18 - Parameter Edit Mode Page 2: Setting the playback parameters Press the [ DELAY ] key again to switch to the second page of the FREEZE program. Use the [ ^ ] and [ % ] CURSOR keys to move through the various parameters. Modify the selected parameter by rotating the DATA ENTRY encoder. FREEZE PLAY parameters MODE (MOMENTARY/ CONTINU./INPUT TRG) Select the playback mode.
Parameter Edit Mode - 19 Sample Sample START END Playback START END Playback * Sound is reversed START END START END Playback * Sound is reversed Playback Playback loop You can set a loop point within the sample. This sets the start point for repeats after the first playback.
