Using Program Changes To Recall Scenes And Library Items - Yamaha CL5 Reference Manual

Using program changes to recall scenes and library
items
The CL series console lets you assign a specific event (scene recall or effect library recall) to
each Program Change number, so that when this event is executed on the CL console, a
Program Change message of the corresponding number will be transmitted to an external
device. Conversely, the corresponding event can be executed when a Program Change
message is received from an external device.
STEP
1. Connect the CL series console to an external device.
2. As described in "Basic MIDI settings"
that will be used to transmit/receive program changes.
3. Press the PROGRAM CHANGE tab in the MIDI/GPI screen.
4. In the PROGRAM CHANGE page, switch Program Change transmission/reception on
or off, select transmission/reception mode, and set echo output.
5. To change the event assignment for each program number, press the desired event
in the list and select an event type and the recall target.

• Multi mode (when the MULTI button is on):
Program changes of all MIDI channels will be transmitted and received. (The transmit/
receive channel specified in the MIDI SETUP page will be ignored.) When a Program
Change is received, the event assigned to the corresponding MIDI channel and program
number in the list will be executed.
When you execute a specific event on a CL series console, the Program Change of the
corresponding program number will be transmitted on the MIDI channel shown in the
list. (If an event is assigned to more than one program number on multiple MIDI
channels/multiple program numbers, only the lowest-numbered program number on
each MIDI channel will be transmitted.)
