All about the Yamaha URX, MGX, and CC1:
Yamaha’s integrated ecosystem of live and creator gear now boasts new functionality and workflow enhancements, with better customization and expanded control.
Yamaha URX, MGX, and CC1 Update
With the MGX digital mixers, users can now reap the benefits of the FLEX12GEQ graphic EQ. You can use any 12 of the 31 available bands on your STEREO and MIX channels, giving you the power to shape the tonal range of any instrument and balance your mix to suit the venue. Also, with the GEQ Link feature, you can share GEQ parameter data across paired stereo channels.
Yamaha and Steinberg today announced the “November 2026 Update” for the MGX/URX series and CC1. The update enhances the mixing capabilities and operability of the MGX series while expanding CC1 customization and MIDI control. Together, these improvements provide greater efficiency and flexibility for music production, live PA, streaming, and content creation workflows. However, note that the EQ only works on STEREO and MIX output buses when 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz sample rates are selected.
Meanwhile, with the new RECALL SAFE function, you can leave parameters out of the scene recall data. Also, there is a useful CONSOLE LOCK feature, which offers password-protected security, for when you have to step away from the mixer for whatever reason. What’s more, there is a range of new workflow features like the improved SEND screen, a Last CUE feature, improved high-pass filter and dynamics processors, and more scene presets for different applications.
The CC1 controller has also been enhanced with ControlCenter 2.0, which adds more advanced customization tools to edit profiles. Using the functions of supported plugins, you can now assign workflow actions, set up icons, and manage profiles with folders, and import/export, duplicate, delete, and rename functions. Furthermore, the CC1 offers improved Cubase / Nuendo integration with streamlined monitor management and track control, and a new generic MIDI plugin for greater customization options.
Additional updates are planned for early 2027, so watch this space for details.
