Using Preview Mode - Yamaha CL1 Reference Manual

Using Preview mode

Preview mode lets you view or edit the settings of a scene stored in memory without affecting the signal
processing of the current scene. When you recall a scene in this mode, the settings of the newly recalled
scene will appear on the panel of the CL series console, but the signal processing of the current scene
will remain as it was prior to the recall. Even if you modify the settings and save them as a new scene
or by overwriting, the signal processing of the current scene will remain as it was prior to the recall.
During an actual performance, it can be convenient to use this to check the content of the scene you
intend to recall next, or to make minor changes to a scene and then store it.
1.
Press the PREVIEW button on the panel or the PREVIEW button in the SCENE LIST
window.
The PREVIEW button will light, and the console will be in Preview mode.
In this state, operating controllers such as the knobs and faders will not affect the signal
processing of the current scene.
2.
Use the SCENE MEMORY [INC]/[DEC] keys to select the scene number that you
want to recall.
3.
Press the SCENE MEMORY [RECALL] key. To execute the Recall operation, press the
OK button.
The scene will be recalled. However, the internal signal processing of the current scene will
remain unchanged as it was prior to the Recall operation.
If desired, you can access a specific channel in the SELECTED CHANNEL section, or access a
specific screen in the display to examine the values in detail.
4.
If desired, use the panel controls to edit the settings.
Operating a panel control in Preview mode will edit the settings of the scene you recalled in step
3, but will not affect the signal processing of the current scene.
5.
If you want to store the changes you made in step 4, select the scene number in
which you want to store the scene, and press the SCENE MEMORY [STORE] key.
The settings you edited in step 4 will be stored into memory.
6.
When you have finished viewing or editing the settings of the scene, press the
PREVIEW button of the panel or the PREVIEW button in the SCENE LIST window.
The PREVIEW button will go dark; the CL series console will exit Preview mode and return to
the normal state.

PREVIEW mode applies to all parameters included in scene memory, all parameters included in
