Funksjoner 2 - YAMAHA M7CL
Recall Focus and Recall Safe Functions
The M7CL takes scene functionality to a new
level with recall focus and recall safe
functions: recall focus lets you specify the
parameters to be recalled with each scene, while
recall safe works from the other perspective,
allowing you to specify parameters that are not
to be recalled with a scene. There are actually
two kinds of recall safe: global recall safe
specifies parameters than will not be changed
when any scene is recalled, and scene-specific
safe parameters that will not be changed when a
specified scene is recalled. You could, for
example, use global recall safe to prevent any
scene recall operation from changing a critical
overall EQ setting, or use safe parameter
settings to prevent the vocal channel fader
setting from being changed by recall of a
specific scene.
USB Memory for Convenient Data Management
and Portability
Standard USB memory sticks can be plugged into
the M7CL USB port for convenient storage and
recall of a range of data: scenes, patches, user
libraries, channel names, preferences …
essentially all system data. In addition to
providing a secure backup, this makes it easy to
transfer data between the console and the M7CL
Editor application running on your personal
computer, or directly between M7CL consoles. You
can program the console’s settings using the
M7CL Editor on a computer in your hotel room or
on the tour bus – wherever you don’t have access
to the console itself – and simply transfer
those settings from your USB memory to the
console at the venue.
Unlimited Channel Linking
There will undoubtedly be times when you’ll want
to link a pair of faders to handle stereo
signals, or perhaps even link more channels for
simultaneous operation. The M7CL lets you link
as many channels together as you like, and even
deselect parameters that you don’t want to be
linked. You might want to link a number of
channels together but retain individual control
over the channel EQ, for example. You can
quickly and easily create as many pairs or
linked groups as you application requires.
DCA Groups
While linked channel faders are directly
adjusted via the channel faders themselves, the
levels of channels assigned to a DCA group are
controlled from one of the console’s DCA faders
in the Centralogic™ control area. Any number of
channel faders can be assigned to any of the
console’s 8 DCA faders. This is not only
convenient for central single-fader control of
channel groups, but it also means you don’t have
to use any of the console’s bus resources for
channel grouping.
Mute Groups
Mute grouping is another feature that can be
great advantage in livesound applications. Any
number of channels can be muted or unmuted via
assigned User Defined Keys (see below). Up to 8
mute groups can be specified.
Channel Copy, Move and Clear
Features like these add significantly to the
attraction of digital technology for live sound.
The Channel Copy function lets you copy the
parameters from any one channel to any number of
other channels, Channel Move swaps the
parameters between two specified channels, and
Channel Clear clears all parameters of the
specified channels. All of these capabilities
can dramatically streamline the process of
setting up the console or modifying the console
settings.
Bus Setup
Each of the M7CL mix buses can be quickly
assigned for mono or stereo operation. You also
have a choice of pre/post-attenuator or
pre/post-fader or variable send, and
pre/post-pan settings for fixed send. Pre-EQ
send can be an advantage when using the mix
buses to feed an in-ear monitor system, for
example.
Output Port Delay and Phase
Another feature that makes the M7CL a valuable
asset for many live sound systems is built-in
output delay and phase adjustment facilities on
each output port. This lets you set up precise
speaker distance compensation without the need
for bulky, expensive external compensation
equipment.
Bus Cascade Capability
The M7CL allows full bus cascading – including
the CUE bus – for easy system expansion using a
second M7CL console or a wide range of other
console types.
User Defined Keys
As their name suggests, the 12 M7CL User Defined
Keys can be userdefined to perform a range of
handy functions. You could assign one for
tap-tempo input of delay times, others to jump
to specific display screens, or to control
specified mute groups as described above. An
innovative User Defined Key function is “Set by
SEL”, with which the channel [SEL] keys perform
a range of alternate functions if pressed while
the assigned User Defined Key is held: reset the
defaults for that channel, turn phantom power on
or off, set the channel fader to nominal … and
more. Although you can set them up as required,
the User Defined Keys have the following
pre-assigned default functions:
keys 1 through 8 select the corresponding mix
buses for the SENDS ON FADER function, keys 9
and 10 are the mute masters for mute groups 1
and 2, key 11 clears all cue settings, and key
12 is talkback.
