Sending the signal from an input channel to a MIX bus Sending the signal from an input channel to a MIX bus This section explains how to send the signal from an input channel to MIX buses 1-16. MIX buses are used mainly for the purpose of sending signals to foldback speakers on stage, or to effect processors. You can send a signal from an input channel to a MIX bus in the following three ways. ■ Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section In this method, you use the encoders of the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust the send levels to the MIX buses. When using this method, the signals sent from a specific input channel to all MIX buses can be adjusted simultaneously. ■ Using the Centralogic section 5 In this method, you use the multifunction encoders of the Centralogic section to adjust the send levels to the MIX buses. When using this method, the signals sent from eight consecutive input channels to a specific MIX bus can be adjusted simultaneously. ■ Using the faders of the top panel In this method, you switch the M7CL to SENDS ON FADER mode, and use the faders of the top panel to adjust the send levels to the MIX buses. When using this method, the signals sent from all input channels to a specific MIX bus can be adjusted simultaneously. Input channel operations Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section Here's how you can use the encoders of the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust the send levels of the signals sent from a specific input channel to all MIX buses. 1 Make sure that an output port is assigned to each MIX bus to which you want to send signals, and that your monitor system or external effect processor etc. is connected to the corresponding output port. For details on assigning an output port to a MIX bus refer to p. 95. For details on connecting an external device, refer to p. 39. 2 Use the [SEL] keys of the top panel to select the input channel that will send signals to the MIX buses. 3 Press any one of the encoders of the SELECTED CHANNEL section to access the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen. The SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen will show all the mix parameters of the corresponding input channel. Adjustments of send levels to the MIX/ MATRIX buses is done in the TO MIX/TO MATRIX field of this screen. 2 1 3 4 1 TO MIX/TO MATRIX field In this field you can switch the on/off status and adjust the level of the signal sent from the input channel to the MIX buses / MATRIX buses. B TO MIX/TO MATRIX buttons These buttons select the send destination that is controlled by the TO MIX/TO MATRIX field. If the TO MIX button is on, you are controlling the signals sent to the MIX buses. C TO MIX SEND LEVEL knob Adjusts the send level of the signal sent from the input channel to MIX bus. To adjust the send levels, use the encoders of the SELECTED CHANNEL section. If the send-destination MIX bus is set to stereo, the left knob of the two adjacent knobs will operate as a PAN knob (for a ST IN channel, the BALANCE knob). If the TO MIX SEND ON/OFF button (4) is off, the knob will be dimmed. M7CL Owner's Manual 61

Input channel operations

This section explains how to send the signal from an input channel to MIX buses 1–16.

MIX buses are used mainly for the purpose of sending signals to foldback speakers on stage, or

to effect processors. You can send a signal from an input channel to a MIX bus in the following

three ways.

In this method, you use the encoders of the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust the send levels to the MIX buses.

When using this method, the signals sent from a speciﬁc input channel to all MIX buses can be adjusted simultaneously.

In this method, you use the multifunction encoders of the Centralogic section to adjust the send levels to the MIX buses.

When using this method, the signals sent from eight consecutive input channels to a speciﬁc MIX bus can be adjusted

simultaneously.

In this method, you switch the M7CL to SENDS ON FADER mode, and use the faders of the top panel to adjust the send

levels to the MIX buses. When using this method, the signals sent from all input channels to a speciﬁc MIX bus can be

adjusted simultaneously.

Here’s how you can use the encoders of the SELECTED

CHANNEL section to adjust the send levels of the signals

sent from a speciﬁc input channel to all MIX buses.

Make sure that an output port is assigned

to each MIX bus to which you want to send

signals, and that your monitor system or

external effect processor etc. is connected

to the corresponding output port.

For details on assigning an output port to a MIX bus

refer to p. 95. For details on connecting an external

device, refer to p. 39.

Use the [SEL] keys of the top panel to

select the input channel that will send sig-

nals to the MIX buses.

Press any one of the encoders of the

SELECTED CHANNEL section to access

the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen.

The SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen will show

all the mix parameters of the corresponding input

channel. Adjustments of send levels to the MIX/

MATRIX buses is done in the TO MIX/TO MATRIX

ﬁeld of this screen.

TO MIX/TO MATRIX ﬁeld

In this ﬁeld you can switch the on/off status and adjust

the level of the signal sent from the input channel to

the MIX buses / MATRIX buses.

TO MIX/TO MATRIX buttons

These buttons select the send destination that is con-

trolled by the TO MIX/TO MATRIX ﬁeld. If the TO

MIX button is on, you are controlling the signals sent

to the MIX buses.

TO MIX SEND LEVEL knob

Adjusts the send level of the signal sent from the input

channel to MIX bus. To adjust the send levels, use the

encoders of the SELECTED CHANNEL section.

If the send-destination MIX bus is set to stereo, the left

knob of the two adjacent knobs will operate as a PAN

knob (for a ST IN channel, the BALANCE knob). If

the TO MIX SEND ON/OFF button (

) is off, the

knob will be dimmed.
