Chapter 16 Graphic EQ and effects This chapter explains how to use the built-in graphic EQ and effects, and how to perform remote control operations via the dedicated protocol to control an external head amp (Yamaha AD8HR) from the M7CL. About the virtual rack The M7CL lets you use the built-in graphic EQ (subsequently abbreviated as "GEQ") and effects to modify signals. You can use two types of GEQ; 31 Band GEQ which lets you freely adjust thirty-one bands (frequency regions), and Flex15GEQ which lets you adjust any fifteen of thirtyone bands. You can also use 48 different effect types. In order to use a GEQ or effect, you must mount the GEQ or effect in one of the eight virtual racks, and patch the input and output of that rack to the desired signal route. In other words, the operation is just as though you had installed a signal processor or effect device in an actual rack, and used patch cords to connect it. Only GEQ can be mounted in racks 1-4, and either GEQ or effects can be mounted in racks 5-8. [Figure 1] Up to two channels of input and output can be used for each rack. (However if the "31 Band GEQ" is mounted in a rack, there will be only one channel each for input and output.) [Figure 2] shows the signal flow for the virtual racks.
