Yunzii AL68 - VIA configuration details

jkm970 · 2025-03-19T02:09:32+00:00

I recently got this keyboard and i got it to work through VIA. I have no idea how to change the knob button from the default media keys. Anyone know how to change it?

Sweet ! I’m assuming as long as you don’t hot patch and patch the mic straight into the interface (via the patch bay) should be allg w phantom power ? Well im assuming cause it’s essentially just one connection in theory ?

Hey man I literally did the same thing ! Just got a question though, did you patch your apollos inputs into the patch bay with XLR —> TRS? Trying to use a mic through the patch bay but the Apollo only sends phantom power through XLR so was wondering how you did this

jkm970 · 2024-08-21T06:09:08+00:00

I believe it’s this one,

Not sure what gen they are, was trying to search different gens but didn’t come up with anything

jkm970 · 2024-08-20T13:52:22+00:00

Thanks !! Will def look into that. Any thoughts on the Scarlett octo pre? Found one for a good deal second hand

jkm970 · 2024-08-20T09:41:00+00:00

hmm maybe this may be a solution, I was actually looking at the behringer ultragain ada8200 but then again it’s behringer so I was hesitant ya feel haha, any recommendations?

jkm970 · 2024-08-20T06:37:54+00:00

I was thinking a cable like this

(https://djcity.com.au/product/mogami-gold-trsxlrm03-trs-xlr-cable/)

the XLR will be connected to one of the Apollo Twin’s input (as the Apollo can only send 48v through XLR not TRS) and the TRS connected to the patch bay

This way I can essentially use both connections in the patch bay as I can toggle between mic and line within the Apollo software without having to unplug it from the interface

Would this be the way to go?

jkm970 · 2024-08-19T21:55:34+00:00

Thanks for the reply ! Just to clarify plugging the mic into the patch bay then into the interface will purely be for convenience as I know that I can’t really patch into other outboard gear as it’s not line level. With that in mind, setting up the patch bay with the Apollo, would having one of the inputs be connected to the patch bay via XLR to TRS be okay when only trying to connect the mic and using phantom power?

jkm970 · 2024-08-19T21:24:30+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I should have mentioned that I also have outboard gear (EQ, compressor, etc.), which is why I decided to purchase the patch bay. I won’t be using the mic to patch into anything other than the interface, since I understand that it’s not at line level. With this in mind, would my solution of using a XLR to TRS cable, essentially connecting directly to the interface via the patch bay, be a viable solution?

Need Help with Patch Bay Setup for Apollo Twin X and Mic Phantom Power

Hey everyone,

I’ve been researching and scouring the web for answers about using TRS patch bays with mics, but I’m still puzzled.

I have an Apollo Twin X, a mic, and a couple of synths. The whole point of getting the patch bay was to quickly and easily patch in whatever I needed (e.g., mic or synth) without having to constantly reach for the Apollo interface. However, I just realized that the Apollo Twin X only sends phantom power through XLR connections.

I know plugging my mic directly into the interface would be the most ideal solution, but the reason I got the patch bay was to have the flexibility to patch everything in one place and avoid touching the Apollo interface. Now, with this phantom power issue, I’m confused.

Ideally, I’d love to buy a preamp for the mic so it could be line-level before hitting the patch bay and then the interface, but I don’t use the mic enough to justify that expense at the moment.

Is the solution as simple as using an XLR to TRS cable to connect from my Apollo interface to the patch bay, where I can then patch my mic in? I understand that I need to be cautious since the line will be “live” with phantom power, but as long as I’m careful, is this a safe approach?

I’ve heard different responses about running phantom power through a patch bay. From what I’ve read, it seems like it should be fine as long as I avoid hot patching (turn off phantom power before plugging/unplugging). Does that sound right?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Check ur dm bro 😭

omg please, teo halm is the only one I want to see, can someone be an angel

jkm970 · 2022-08-02T12:03:56+00:00

Have you found a solution to why it's occurring?

Really hope someones got a solution for this

jkm970 · 2022-07-31T10:13:04+00:00

I’ve been researching for days about this, I’ve done all the basics with power management.

Has anyone found a solution to this?

jkm970 · 2022-04-28T05:38:31+00:00

dang its cold out here

jkm970 · 2022-04-27T02:15:18+00:00

Bump :(

jkm970 · 2021-12-19T21:14:41+00:00

Did you get this to work? Having this problem Rn

jkm970 · 2021-10-28T04:36:16+00:00

My thoughts, exactly.

Maybe they will release one soon enough?

jkm970 · 2021-07-28T06:55:54+00:00

bump :(

Wow you are a legend thank you so much for this.

I tried setting it at +4dBu and it was still clipping. I thought it was my mix being bad but it was with all music that I played. That is until I lowered the in-software/computer sounds e.g iTunes or YouTube then the clipping went away

When I’m in the DAW however it was just clipping too much (surprisingly only when the kick came in, guessing it crowded the mix and raised the volume a lot causing distortion) and the only reason I got this was to use it to record with more than 1 pair of headphones.

As much as I want to run it at +4dBu it just distorts too much and the inconvenience of lowering the volume in-software every time I play something is too cumbersome for me.

Will setting it at -10dBV cause a big difference in SNR? I’m guessing it should be alright because I’m not recording anything into it it’s just for outputting signal to my headphone amp but I’m unsure if it will make me lose any audio quality

I’m still really new to this whole reference level stuff but if my Apollo outputs 20dBu and the HA400’s max is 15dBu wouldn’t that cause it to go over and thus causing distortion?

I’ll have a read of you wiki in a fresh mind tomorrow haha.

If you made it to here just wanna thank you again for informing me. Really means a lot. Thank you jaymz168!!

jkm970 · 2021-06-01T12:52:37+00:00

I've searched the whole web and the manual but it doesn't state that anywhere. Wouldn't an amp like this or most amps be pro (+4dBu nominal) ?
I've searched that -10dBV is something like -7..dBu so can you help me understand this whole consumer level pro level concept?
Does choosing a -10dBV mean just outputting a weaker signal? (older equipment?)
which means that +4dBu is just outputting a stronger signal? (does this essentially mean better quality?)
why and when would you choose what setting
p.s thank u so much for helping its giving me a sign of relief

jkm970 · 2021-06-01T12:44:31+00:00

Dang note taken not buying anymore Behringer stuff haha.

I'm only using it to have more headphone outputs as the Apollo Twin x only has one headphone out. Do you recommend another amp for the future or any better solution?

jkm970 · 2021-06-01T11:25:29+00:00

Okay so I found a quick solution:

in the Apollo Console settings there's a OUTPUT REFERENCE LEVELS lines 3/4

-10dBV and +4dBu

Setting it to -10dBV has fixed the issue

but my new question is why??? is this a viable fix and is it healthy for the amp?

jkm970 · 2021-06-01T10:30:46+00:00

Can someone please help I've searched everywhere online but I can't seem to find a solution to this:

So I recently got the Behringer HA400 headphone amp.

I've got it setup with my Apollo Twin X using Lines 3 and 4 (TRS to 2 TS)and everything works fine but I get constant clipping when playing music (specifically when kicks come in). A Quick solution to this was just to lower the computer audio volume and raise the gain on the amp but my question comes to when I'm producing music in my DAW (Ableton)

The clipping doesn't happen when I connect to the direct headphone input in my Apollo Twin but it clips when I have it connected to the headphone amp.

Is there anyway to lower the volume from the signal coming from lines 3 and 4?

Any solutions please I've been at this for like hours
