What Is In A Scene; Saving And Loading Data - Yamaha M7CL Quick Start Manual

What is in a scene?

When a scene is stored it is useful to know what is included in the scene and can be changed by scene recall
and what is not. However just because things are not remembered by scene recall doesn't mean they are not
remembered at power down or are not included in the whole console fi le.
These text boxes should make it clear what is stored in scene memory and what is not.

Saving and Loading data.

Storing and recalling operations relate to scenes within a console fi le. Saving and Loading relate to adding or
copying fi les from the console. The console fi le is made up of various libraries but these are all linked together so
that they can all be saved or loaded together in one easy fi le. These fi les are common to both the M7CL 32/48 and
M7CL-48ES, but no other console.
In addition to the scene memory (including the patch scenes) the console also remembers the various console
settings and preferences not included in the scenes.
All this information can be backed up to a simple USB storage device.
Yamaha does not make and sell the USB storage
devices, but these are widely available from
computer and electronics stores and from many
manufacturers. When choosing a storage device
remember that; M7CL is USB1.1 compliant, so
both USB1.1 and USB2.0 will work. Storage
capacity must not exceed 16Gig. The drive
can be formatted to FAT12 FAT16 or FAT32 but
must not be partitioned. You can format a new
drive in M7CL, but remember formatting an
old drive erases all its memories. Most USB
memory devices work, but Yamaha have a list
of tested ones on www.yamahapropaudio.
