Re: Yamaha M.Comp




I know, it's one of "those things".  "Bypass on" seems to mean "off" in Yamaha World.  I guess one could argue that there is a difference as switching something off would normally stop the signal, whereas bypass allows the signal to pass when the processor in question is disabled.  Like when you insert something on a Yamaha desk, but the insert point is off, then the signal stops.


I love how there is a virtual pot with only two settings for some of the on/off features on Yamaha mixers, too.  Like "tap delay on" which somehow is labelled "sync on" and has a virtual pot...


At the same time, in the scene recall safe window, there is a "disable" button that you would in typical Yamaha fashion expect to just change color to indicate "on" when you hit it, however THAT one they actually decided to allow to change labelling to "enable" when you press it.


Still, any piece of gear has it's quirks, I guess.  I feel very comfortable on my Yamaha mixers and think that are very good products, overall.
