Using The Flex15Geq - Yamaha CL5 Reference Manual

When you press one of these buttons, the faders for the bands selected on screen will
turn white, and the numbers of the corresponding faders in the Centralogic section will
be displayed. Now you can use the faders in the Centralogic section to control the
bands.
NOTE
The above operation is possible even if the Centralogic section is locked. When you turn off the
button in the FADER ASSIGN field, it will return to the locked state.

Tool buttons
Copy the currently-displayed 31BandGEQ settings to the GEQ of another rack, or
initialize the settings. For details on how to use the tool buttons, refer to "Using the tool
buttons" in the separate Owner's Manual.
NOTE
• Only 31BandGEQ settings that use fifteen bands or less can be copied to a Flex15GEQ.
• GEQ settings can be stored and recalled at any time using the dedicated library.

Using the Flex15GEQ

You will use the Centralogic section's faders 1-8 and [ON] keys to control the Flex15GEQ.
A rack in which a Flex15GEQ is mounted will show information for two GEQ units (A and B)
in the VIRTUAL RACK window.
NOTE
If you mount a Flex15GEQ, two monaural 31BandGEQ units will be placed in a single rack.
However, only up to fifteen bands can be adjusted for each unit.
STEP
1. Press the rack container in which you mounted Flex15GEQ.
2. Press the GEQ ON/OFF button to turn the Flex15GEQ on.
3. Press one of the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field to select the group of bands you
will control.
4. Use the faders in the Centralogic section to adjust the selected band.
5. When you've finished making settings, turn off the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN
field.
NOTE
• The [ON] key will light if you raise or lower a fader even the slightest amount. This indicates that
the corresponding band is being modified.
• To quickly return a boosted or cut band to the flat position, press the corresponding [ON] key in
the Centralogic section to make it go dark.
• With CL version 2.0 or later, pressing the [ON] key again for this band will restore the adjusted
gain value. In this way, comparison is easy and quick. However, please note that if the [ON] key
for this band is off and if you press the [ON] key for the fader of a different frequency band, the
adjusted gain value will be canceled and will return to ± 0dB.
• If you switch the display to a different screen, the fader assignments in the Centralogic section
will forcibly be defeated. However if you once again display the same rack, the group of bands
you had previously been controlling will automatically be assigned to the faders.
• When you close the GEQ window, the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field automatically turn off.
GEQ EDIT window (Flex 15GEQ)
This window is the same as that for the 31BandGEQ, except that the AVAILABLE BANDS
parameter box indicates the real-time number of additional bands (maximum 15) that
can be controlled in the current GEQ.
For a rack in which a Flex15GEQ is mounted, the rack switch tabs will be split as xA and
xB (x is the rack number).
