Sending A Signal From An Input Channel To A Mix/Matrix Bus; Using The Selected Channel Section - Yamaha CL5 Reference Manual

Sending a signal from an input channel to a MIX/
MATRIX bus
The MIX buses are used mainly for the purpose of sending signals to foldback speakers on
stage, or to external effect processors. The MATRIX buses are used to produce a mix that is
independent of the STEREO bus or MIX buses, and is typically sent to a master recorder or
to a backstage monitoring system.
You can send a signal from an input channel to a MIX/MATRIX bus in the following three ways.

◆ Using the Selected Channel section

With this method, you use the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust the send
levels to the MIX/MATRIX buses. When using this method, signals sent from a specific input
channel to all MIX/MATRIX buses can be adjusted collectively.
◆ Using the Centralogic section
With this method, you use the multifunction knobs in the Centralogic section to adjust the level
of signals sent to the MIX/MATRIX buses. When using this method, the signals sent from eight
consecutive input channels to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus can be adjusted simultaneously.
◆ Using the faders (SENDS ON FADER mode)
With this method, you switch the CL series unit to SENDS ON FADER mode, and use the
faders on the top panel to adjust the level of signals sent to the MIX/MATRIX buses. When
using this method, signals sent from all input channels to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus can be
adjusted simultaneously.
Using the Selected Channel section
This section explains how to use the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust
the send levels of signals sent from a specific input channel to all MIX/MATRIX buses.
STEP
1. Assign an output port to each MIX/MATRIX bus to which you want to send signals,
and connect your monitor system, external effects processor, or other device to the
corresponding output port.
2. Use the [SEL] keys on the top panel to select the input channel that will send signals
to the MIX/MATRIX bus.
3. Press one of the knobs in the Selected Channel section.
4. Turn on the ON button in the SEND field in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen.
5. Turn on the TO MIX/MATRIX SEND ON/OFF button for the send-destination MIX
bus.
6. Use the MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL knob in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust
the send levels to the MIX/MATRIX buses.

NOTE
• If you want to monitor the signal being sent to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus, use the Bank Select
keys in the Centralogic section to access the corresponding MIX/MATRIX channel, and then
press the appropriate [CUE] key in the Centralogic section.
MIX buses can be either a FIXED type whose send level is fixed, or a VARI type whose send
level is variable. The MATRIX buses are all VARI type. You can switch between FIXED and
VARI types for each two adjacent odd/even-numbered MIX buses. To do so, press the SETUP
button and then the BUS SETUP button to open the BUS SETUP window.
◆ If the MIX bus is a FIXED type
A gray circle is displayed instead of the TO MIX SEND LEVEL knob, and you cannot
adjust the send level.
◆ For a VARI type MIX bus or a MATRIX bus
The TO MIX SEND LEVEL knob is displayed in the same color as the corresponding knob
in the SELECTED CHANNEL section. In this case, you can use the corresponding knob in
the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust the send level.
