ProR3 Digital Reverberator
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha ProR3 Digital Reverberator. The ProR3 marks a new era in
Yamaha’s reverberation technology. Third-generation Yamaha digital signal processors (DSP)
with 32 bit digital signal processing and high-performance 20 bit linear A/D and D/A convert-
ers provide unprecedented density and resolution, with breathtakingly dynamic impact. The
ultra-high quality analog input and output circuitry achieves a dynamic range of 110 dB, provid-
ing incredibly natural reverberance with a noiseless decay.
The ProR3 has 10 primary effects; reverb, early reflection, room simulation, and combinations of
reverb with echo, chorus, flanging, pitch change, and auto pan, etc. A pre-effect EQ is provided
in front of the primary effect, and following the primary effect, dynamic filter, compressor, EQ,
gate, level, and balance stages are provided. In stereo input mode, full stereo reverb is provided.
In addition to 90 preset programs for immediate use, 90 user memory locations are provided for
your own custom settings.
The stereo inputs and outputs feature both balanced XLR type and 1/4" phone jack connectors,
for connection to a variety of equipment. The input and output level selectors (–10 dB/+4 dB)
also allow flexibility in level adjustment. Programs can be selected from an external MIDI device,
and bulk data dumps can also be performed.
The Yamaha ProR3 digital reverberator is the result of an important step forward in digital rever-
beration technology. It provides a previously unattainable level of rich reverberation effects,
sound quality, and operability, and is an ideal reverberator for use in any situation, from the
home studio to pro audio recording and PA work.
In order to take full advantage of the ProR3’s functionality and enjoy years of trouble-free use,
please read this manual carefully.

Basic use
– using a preset program –
Here’s how to select a preset program and use it without adjusting any parameters.
Connections
1. Connect the sound source to the INPUT jacks.
For a stereo sound source, connect the outputs of both channels to the INPUT jacks. For a mon-
aural sound source, use the L input jack.
If the sound source has XLR connectors, make connections using the XLR-3-31 connectors of the
ProR3. If not, use the 1/4" phone jacks.
2. Connect the OUTPUT jacks to the mixer or other external device.
If the mixer has XLR connectors, make connections using the XLR-3-32 connectors of the ProR3.
If not, use the 1/4" phone jacks.
3. Connect the ProR3 to an AC outlet.
Turning the power on (off)
1. Press the POWER switch to turn the power on. (Pressing it again will turn the power off.)
The initial display will appear for a few seconds, and then the program that was being used
when the power was last turned off will be selected.
Warning: Before making connections, make sure that the power is turned off for all
your equipment.
Note:
You may also use a cable which converts between XLR connectors and TRS 1/4" phone jacks.
Note:
When turning on the equipment in a system, always turn on each device in sequence of the sig-
nal flow, starting from signal sources and ending with the power amp. Observing this sequence will
prevent damage to speakers, to other equipment, or to your hearing which can be caused by the noise
that occurs when a device is turned on. Turn on the ProR3 before the other connected equipment.
When turning off the power of the system, turn off devices starting with the power amp and working
backward toward the signal sources.

The small room programs are extremely short reverbs created with hip-hop in
mind. These are meant to be applied in small amounts, so that the sound appears
either dry or to have the natural acoustics of a studio. They are especially effec-
tive on sequenced instruments, synth brass, and on instruments recorded in a
dead studio.

The bypass function
When you press the BYPASS key, the circuit will be switched so that the input sound is output
directly. This function provides an easy way to make a quick comparison between the sound pro-
cessed by the effect program and the unprocessed sound. When the effect is bypassed, the red
indicator will light.
Pre-effect EQ
The PRE EFFECT EQ controls allow you to make settings for the three-band pre-effect equalizer.
For each band, you can set the center frequency and the gain.
1. Press the PRE EFFECT EQ ON key to turn on the equalizer.
The green indicator will light.
2. Select a band, and rotate its control knobs to adjust the gain.
3. Rotate the FREQ (frequency) control of the selected band.
To hear the effect of the equalizer, first adjust the gain level of the selected band, and then adjust
the frequency.
The equalizer control settings are not stored in the program memory. If the equalizer is turned
on, its settings will affect all programs.
LOW MID HIGH
Frequency 50 Hz to 700 Hz 350 Hz to 5 kHz 2 kHz to 20 kHz
Gain ±15 dB ±15 dB ±15 dB
Note: The pre-effect equalizer controls are located in the circuit after the INPUT level meters. This
means that you need to be careful when setting gain levels, since even if the gain is raised excessively
and digital clipping occurs, this will not be indicated by the meters.

The INFINITE function
The INFINITE function lets you set an extremely long reverb time. This is effective when used on
the ending of a song, etc.
The INFINITE key can be used in the following two ways.
•Press and immediately release the INFINITE key.
The reverb time will be set to the maximum. Press the key once again and the reverb time will
return to the original value.
•Press hold the INFINITE key.
The reverb time will be set to the maximum as long as you continue holding the key. When
you release the key, the reverb time will return to the original value.
Note: For programs whose primary effect is early reflection (ER) and do not have a RevTime parame-
ter, therefore this key will have no effect.

Advanced uses (2) – Editing functions –
Preset programs are “ready-made” programs. In contrast, user programs can be tailor-made to
meet your needs. This section explains how you can edit your own programs.
How programs are organized
Each of the ProR3 program consists of two main stages; the primary effect and the secondary
effects.
Of these, the primary effect can be selected from one of the following ten types, and will depend
on the program that you select.
Single type: Reverb, ER, Room Sim
Compound type: Rev+Ech, Rev+ER, Rev+Cho, Rev+Sym, Rev+Flg, Rev+Pit, Rev+PAN
The “+” in compound type effects such as “Rev+Ech” means that these
effects simultaneously apply both reverb (Rev) and echo (Ech). You can
select the order in which these occur; i.e., whether reverb will be
applied and then echo, or echo applied and then reverb.
The secondary effects are supplementary, and are the following five which are provided for each
program: DFL (dynamic filter), COMP (compressor), EQ, GATE, and LEVEL/BAL.
The primary effect is the decisive factor in determining the character of the entire effect, and if
you know its type, you will have a good idea of how the entire program will sound. For this rea-
son, when the program is shown in the LCD, the primary effect type used by that program will
be shown along with the program number and title, and is also given in the list.
The ProR3 has separate dedicated keys for recalling the parameters of the primary effect and the
secondary effects.

Editing procedure
1) Selecting a program
Refer to the list of preset programs on page 9 or the included preset program list, and select the
number of the program that you wish to edit.
At this time, it is not possible to change the type of the primary effect, so make your choice of
type carefully.
2) Editing parameters
1. Press the key which accesses the program parameter that you wish to edit. For example
to edit primary effect parameters, press the MAIN key or FINE key. To edit GATE parame-
ters, press the GATE key.
Pages 18 and following have lists of the parameters which are accessed by each key.
2. Repeatedly press the key until the parameter that you wish to edit appears.
3. Use the cursor keys () (®) to move the cursor to the parameter that you wish to edit.
4. There are two ways to set the value of a parameter.
•Press the INC or DEC key to set the value.
If you continue holding down a key, the value will continue to change.
Use the numeric keys and the RECALL/ENTER key to set the value.
1 Use the numeric keys to enter the value, and the data will blink. If you make a mistake,
press the CANCEL key, and input the value once again using the numeric keys.
2 Press the RECALL/ENTER key to finalize the setting.
5. By pressing the COMPARE key, you can compare the sound after the parameter was
edited with the sound that the program had when it was recalled.
6. If you wish to edit the parameter again, return to step 3.
7. If you wish to edit a different parameter in the same effect, return to step 2.
8. If you wish to edit a different effect, refer to step 1.

3) Entering a title
You can enter a program name of up to 16 characters for each of your own effect programs.
1. Press the OTHERS key.
The red indicator will light. Each time you press the OTHERS key, the title edit page and two
controller parameter pages will alternate.
2. Use the CURSOR keys () (®) to select the location of the character.
The cursor will indicate the location when a character can be selected. Each time you press the
CURSOR key, the cursor will move to the next/previous character location, and will “wrap
around” when it reaches the end of the title.
3. Press the INC or DEC key to change the character. You can also use the numeric keys to
enter numerals.
If you continue holding the INC or DEC key, the character will continue to change. The numerals
0 through 9, a “–” (minus), and a “.” (decimal point) can be entered using the numeric keys.
4) Setting MIDI control parameters
You can specify parameters to be controlled via MIDI, and the range of control. (refer page 35)
1. Press the OTHERS key to access the MIDI control page.
2. Use the CURSOR keys () (®) to select parameters.
3. Use the INC and DEC keys to set the parameters.
5) Saving a program
Up to 90 programs whose parameters you have edited can be saved as USER programs.
1. Press the STORE key.
The PROGRAM indicator will blink, and a message will appear to ask the storing location.
