Yamaha DM2000 VCM Digital Production Console

The Renowned DM2000 Plus
an Extraordinary New Range of Effects and Simulations

The new DM2000VCM is the DM2000 Version 2 plus a formidable array of state-of-the-art processing technologies that provide all-new production power. You now have extraordinary recreations of classic compression and EQ units from the 70's, simulations of several legendary analog open-reel tape decks, a complete suite of unmatched REV-X reverb effects, a surround post-production package that is second to none, and even a selection of vintage stomp boxes to spice up your mixes. And all of this is right at your fingertips, with no need to patch in external processors. The technology that has made all of this possible is some of the most advanced in the world, and the sound is simply superb.

In short, one of the world's most popular digital production consoles just got a lot more powerful.

VCM Technology
VCM technology is responsible for the classic compressor, EQ, analog tape deck, and stompbox effect simulations in the DM2000VCM. VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) technology actually models the characteristics of analog circuitry – right down to the last resistor and capacitor. VCM technology goes well beyond simply analyzing and modeling electronic components and emulating the sound of old equipment. It's capable of capturing subtleties that simple digital simulations cannot even approach, while actually creating ideal examples of sought-after vintage gear.

iSSP Technology
iSSP technology is the key to the DM2000VCMs incredible selection of surround post-production effects. iSSP stands for "Interactive Spatial Sound Processing," and is Yamaha's original new spatial sound effect system. Designed through extensive research and exhaustive testing, this technology offers unparalleled reality, operability and originality for surround processing applications. It delivers unprecedented sound-field positioning precision and versatility, as well as realistic sound source movement effects with simple operation that allows simulations of an almost unlimited variety of spatial environments.

REV-X
"REV-X" is the advanced algorithm behind Yamaha's newest generation of reverb and ambience programs, offering unprecedented reverberation depth and realism with smooth decay. REV-X technology takes full advantage of the 24-bit 96-kHz processing capability of the DM2000 for reverb and ambience effects that have the reassuring warmth and reality of natural acoustic environments.
