Channel Names And Colors - Yamaha QL Series Brochure & Specs

Advanced Features Backed by
Efficient Design
You can have features galore, but if they're not well integrated into a smoothly
operating system that provides easy access, their value will be greatly reduced.
Design of the QL series faders and knobs extends to the finest details of form and
materials. High visibility channel name displays and colors add to overall operation
ease and efficiency as well. The interface is the vital connection between console and
engineer, and we have treated it with appropriate care and respect.
Faders Designed for Fit,
Feel, and Visual Feedback
The operator's sonic intent is conveyed
to the console primarily through the
faders. Inheriting the sports car bucket
seat styling of the CL series faders, the
QL faders provide comfortable, sure
operation regardless of where you
finger rests on the knob. Even the fader
knob materials have been selected for
optimum feel. The sides of the knobs
are specially sculpted to allow the fader
scale on the panel to be easily seen from
just about any angle.
Selected Channel Controls
for Direct, Instant Access
The main Selected Channel parameters
are assigned to the knobs located to
the right of the display for immediate
access at any time. In addition to User
Defined Keys to which parameters can
be freely assigned, another traditional
Yamaha digital mixing console feature,
the QL consoles also have on-screen
User Defined Knobs that provide the
same assignable freedom for variable
parameters. In combination, the User
Defined Knobs and User Defined Keys
can significantly enhance operation
speed and efficiency.
Comprehensive
Fader Bank Section
All analog inputs are assigned to
one Fader Bank, while other input
and output channels are accessed by
switching banks. Four Custom Fader
Banks are also provided, and these allow
the user to set up any combination
of channels required for maximum
efficiency in any application. Custom
Fader setups can also be stored with
scenes and instantly recalled when
needed.
High Visibility

Channel Names and Colors

Miniature display panels above each
channel fader show the channel name
as well as fader setting. There's also
a color bar that glows in eight colors,
matching the channel colors shown in
the main touch-panel display for easy
visual identification. The eight colors
plus "black" provide a total of nine color
groupings. These high-visibility displays
offer excellent legibility in bright
outdoor lighting as well in dim indoor
settings.
