Scene Management and other memorised features.

M7CL can memorise all of its mixing parameters such as EQ, dynamics and fader levels. These memories are

stored into a "snapshot" or "scene". The analogue equivalent is "marking up" the desk on the familiar printed

sheets of circles. This "scene" represents the best positions for all the parameters at that particular point in

time. If soundcheck and rehearsal time allow, it is possible to create a scene snapshot for each song or act of the

performance, including the preshow walk-in music and end show exit music and scenes for each support act too.

However never forget that live show mixing is a dynamic activity and that a series of scene recalls cannot always

cope with the unexpected performance change or react to the change in room acoustics due to the audience. This

guide explains how to take advantage of the scene snapshot system, whilst using the Recall Safe and Recall Focus

functions to maintain ﬂ exibility and keep dynamically mixing your show.

In addition to scene information M7CL also remembers handy libraries of parameter information like the EQ,

GEQ and dynamics libraries and set up features like patch information, User Deﬁ ned Key and other preferences.

Together all these memories add up to be a "session" or "console" ﬁ le and these ﬁ les can easily be copied to

another console using a USB storage device or Yamaha Studio Manager. M7CL can only contain a single "console" or

"session" ﬁ le, but by connecting a PC running Studio Manager and M7CL Editor software, scenes can be extracted

from one session and merged into another.

The SCENE LIST pop-up.

M7CL can store 300 scene memories or snapshots. In addition to the 300 numbered memories there is the default

read only Scene 000 and also the 'current console settings' which are either the same as a scene or an edited

version of a scene. These are in a special memory buffer which is also retained in case of power failure.

When the console parameters are edited to a position you want to keep, press the SCENE MEMORY up/down key to

choose a numbered location for the new scene. The chosen number will ﬂ ash. It is not necessary to be displaying

the scene list, you can do this at any time.

To see the SCENE LIST pop-up

press the scene ﬁ eld area of

the screen.

Scene 000 is "R" read only.

When it is edited the yellow

appears. You cannot save

to scene 000.
