Yamaha 01v96 v2 channels 9-16 wont turn on

[Kwackman]

Hi,
Photos look good.
Apologies if you've already checked this, but to see how far signals are getting...
In the "Fader Mode" buttons panel - the "Home (meter)" button, keep pressing it until you get a window with "Meter" at the top LHS and "position" tab is at the bottom of the screen. Check that on the inputs "Pre EQ" or "Pre Fader" is selected.
Then keep pressing the same "Home (meter)" button again until the
"Ch1-32" tab is selected on the bottom LHS.
Is there audio showing on all the inputs, or only 1-8?

Not that it should make any difference, but are you using one source (mic?) in each channel in turn, or multi inputs at once?

These are nice desks, so hopefully you'll get it working properly soon!

EDIT TO ADD, before the link was changed, I clicked on it and there were 2 photos, including (I think) the input patch page.

Sorry, I missed the second image. Thanks to the wonders of browser history I've gone back to the original link and copied the second image location link and pasted it into the post with the 1st image.

I get the signal lights to turn on and if I turn up the gain far enough, the peak light comes on too.

Did some more experimenting, and I'm playing bluetooth off my phone to a BT receiver and then 1/4" into the console. On channels 9-16 I can verify that the input signal on the "meters" page is showing a signal. Also, if i turn up the fader, I get sound coming out, but I'm unable to turn on the "on" buttons for each of those channels. I have not tried xlr input yet. don't have a mic right now. does this give anyone ideas?

Also, How did you guys link in those pictures like that? I couldn't figure that out. The video I watched didn't seem to have any sound on it.

You put a signal into i/p 9, fade up the fader for ch9 and you hear it OK?
But the channel "ON" button is off? Weird!
I assume if you fade ch9 down the audio goes silent?

You are on the "1-16" layer, not "Master"?

It is a silent video so nothing to worry about.

The link you used was for the page on your hosting site. The actual pictures have their own unique web addresses. There should be a tool on the host site to copy those addresses, but I used my browser to open the image in a new tab and then used the option to copy the image address.

On channels 9-16 I can verify that the input signal on the "meters" page is showing a signal.

Okay... but the meters can be connected to three different points in the channel signal path. By changing the meter point you can see where/if the signal is being lost.

Also, if i turn up the fader, I get sound coming out, but I'm unable to turn on the "on" buttons for each of those channels.

Clearly, that makes no sense.

The ON switches might be being controlled by a mute group, so check that out.

But if sound is coming out through a fader it's via a different route, so check fader linking too.

If you haven't already, it might be worth doing a full hardware reset:

Press and hold the [AUX 1] and [HOME] button in the Fader Mode section while turning on the power switch to commence the reset sequence. (All user data is lost).

Also, How did you guys link in those pictures like that? I couldn't figure that out. The video I watched didn't seem to have any sound on it.

Yes, the video is mute. To embed images you need a direct link to the image file (it should end .jpeg or .png) . Paste that link into the post here, with img (in square brackets at the front) and /img at the end (in square brackets also).

All of this reminds me of how relieved I was to replace my 01v96v2 with an XR18 a long time back. That interface was so confusing.

From what I remember , following a factory reset, then channels 1-16 will by default be fed by AD1-16, and you should have consistent performance across channels 1-16. While it's very easy to get in a pickle when you're trying messing about with patching, the default configuration should be simple across channels 1-16.

Forget all the advice to check channel linking, inserts - you've already said you've done a factory reset, so you're using default settings.

You could try some further debugging by patching channels 1-8 to be fed from AD9-16, and channels 9-16 to be fed from AD1-8. Does the problem follow the inputs or the channels. Not sure if the board has separate ribbon cables for 1-8 and 9-16 - it wasn't obvious from the service manual. If you're getting sound when you turn up the fader, even though the channel is showing as "off" (no LED lit), then it may be as simple as the LED is not working.

You could also set up the Studio Manager software on a PC/Mac, which will give a software view of the surface configuration. If the mixer's channel on button is working, but the LED isn't, you'll see the Channel On/Off status in the software.



The problem could be more involved than that, though. I returned my first 01v96 as channel 1 didn't work. It wasn't my responsibility to debug/fix a faulty channel in a 10-20 year old mixer sold as fully working.

I'd suggest that this mixer may best be returned for a refund as faulty.

You might also want to think about buying a slightly more contemporary and user-friendly mixer.

Thanks for all the help on this issue so far. I did another factory reset just to be sure. I put the LCD sceen into the view mode for channel 9. I am able to turn it on/off via the menu and enter button, but pressing the 'ON' button itself doesn't do anything. If this picture comes out, look how the LED in 9 is about half as bright as the one on channel 8. Do I have some sort of hardware issue? If that is the case, maybe I can just return this thing where I got it and get a different one.

Pressing the ON button doesn't do anything, however I can turn them on/off via the menu.



still not getting images quite right. Here is a link that should work

You’re still linking to the image page, not the image itself. If it doesn’t have .jpg or .png at the end of the link, it won’t display. The site won’t display .webp images either.
