Focus - Yamaha M7CL Quick Start Manual

Focus (or Recall Focus); Typical use examples;
Focus is another way of limiting the amount of information that is recalled when the chosen scene is recalled.
1. Multiband shows. In a multiband line up show each engineer wants his own GEQ setting, but also they
want changes to be possible without scene recall "undoing" them. Because Focus is available on a scene by scene
basis this is possible. Use Focus to remove the RACK from recall in all scenes except the fi rst scene of each band's
set. Now the GEQ settings will change only when a new band starts.
2. Patch Changes. In a live recording set up it is required to have the mics connected to the channels of
the scenes for recording, but for playback use the same scenes and have the recorder connected. By recalling
a "record set up" scene the mics can be patched to the channels or by recalling a "playback set up" scene the
recorder can be patched to the channels. Use Focus to remove the INPUT PATCH from scene recall for the actual
scenes, but keep the INPUT PATCH within Focus for the two special "set up " scenes.
The focus screen can be accessed from the SCENE LIST pop-up by pressing the [FOCUS] tab below the scene list.
It is important to understand that Focus differs from Recall Safe; Recall Safe is global to all scenes and Focus is
specifi c to a particular scene. Also the selectable parameters are different.
