Yamaha RCP Mixer Control Software

Control Yamaha digital mixers (CL, QL, TF, DM3, DM7, Rivage PM) via the Remote Control Protocol (RCP/SCP): faders, sends, DCAs, mutes and scenes, with panel faders, rotaries and Stream Deck + dials following the console. TCP port 49280.

This handler controls Yamaha digital mixing consoles (CL, QL, TF, DM3, DM7, Rivage PM) using the Remote Control Protocol (RCP).

Connection

• Set the device IP address and leave the port at 49280 (fixed by Yamaha).
• Select the mixer model in Extra Config — this affects the scene recall format.
• Enable the Keep-Alive option if the console drops idle connections.
• Read at connect lists the strips whose levels and on/off states are read every time the session opens (default InCh 1-32, Mix 1-16, St 1, DCA 1-8). Add sends with InCh 1-8 ToMix 1-4 or InCh 1-8 ToMtrx 1-2. A level not listed is read the first time it is adjusted, and follows the console from its first change.

Fader Levels

Levels are expressed in dB (e.g. 0, -10.5, -Inf).

Faders, rotaries and Stream Deck + dials

Every level is also published as a position 0–100 along the fader travel (_pos variables), which is what a panel fader, a rotary or a dial display draws. The travel follows the console's markings: 0 dB at 75, −20 dB at 50, −40 dB at 25, −60 dB at 10, −∞ at 0, +10 dB at 100.

• Fader or rotary in "value" mode: action Set Fader Position (or Set Send Position) with position {{control_percent}}.
• Dial, rotary in "steps" mode, +/- buttons: action Adjust Fader Level (or Adjust Send Level) with Adjust by {{control_delta}} and unit %; a button can keep e.g. 1 dB.
• The builders fill the position variable, the dB scale and the parameters by themselves when one of these actions is chosen.

Channel Numbering

Channel numbers are 1-based (CH1 = 1, Mix 1 = 1, etc.).

Scene Recall

• CL/QL: numeric scene number (1–500).
• TF/DM3: numeric scene + bank A or B.
• DM7: text scene ID + bank (e.g. 001.00).
• Rivage PM: text scene name (e.g. Scene_01).

Feedback Variables

Variables are written to the system panel and can be used in Panel Builder:

• {prefix}_inch_1_level — Input CH1 fader level (dB)
• {prefix}_inch_1_pos — Input CH1 fader position 0–100 (for faders, rotaries and dials)
• {prefix}_inch_1_on — Input CH1 on/off (1/0)
• {prefix}_mix_1_level — Mix 1 fader level
• {prefix}_dca_1_level — DCA 1 level
• {prefix}_inch_1_send_mix2_level / _pos — CH1 send to Mix2 level / position
• {prefix}_scene — Current scene number/name
• {prefix}_scene_name — Current scene label
• {prefix}_model — Product name reported by the mixer

Variables are updated via NOTIFY messages (real-time) and GET responses. Use Query Fader Level to manually refresh a channel's variables.
