Yamaha’s Nuage audio postproduction system is being updated to v1.5, which allows remote control of the head amplifiers in Yamaha’s R series I/O units from Nuage Master and Fader control surfaces. As well as providing a broader selection of I/O options for Nuage systems, it will also allow CL and QL series digital mixing console inputs to be shared via a Dante network, providing significant system expansion options.

Nuage already allows switching between up to three different DAWs, but the update brings OS-X The Nuage Master unit also gains Quick Control, allowing specified parameters to be assigned to the multifunction display, giving greater customisation control. Another addition to the Nuage Master unit is the ability to instantly access VST instruments from the display and knobs, delivering more efficient and effective sound crafting. A super-fine mode is also being added to the multifunction knobs, providing as much as 512 times finer parameter control than has been previously available in the fine mode.

Dante Accelerator v2.5 will be released simultaneously with Nuage v1.5, providing support for the latest (late 2013) Mac Pro models via Magma and Sonnet Thunderbolt expansion chassis.

Yamaha Nuage v1.5 will be available from May 2014.
