Using Mute Groups; Using The Mute Safe Function - Yamaha CL5 Reference Manual

Using mute groups

To control mute groups, you can use the MUTE GROUP MASTER buttons in the MUTE
GROUP ASSIGN window. In addition, it may prove convenient if you assign the Mute On/Off
function for a mute group 1 - 8 to a USER DEFINED key.
◆ Assigning mute groups to USER DEFINED keys
STEP
1. In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button.
2. Press the USER SETUP button in the upper left of the SETUP screen.
3. In the USER SETUP window, press the USER DEFINED KEYS tab.
4. Press the button for the USER DEFINED key to which you want to assign the Mute
On/Off function.
5. Choose "MUTE MASTER" in the FUNCTION column, and choose"MUTE GROUP x"
(where "x" is the mute group number) in the PARAMETER 1 column.
6. When you press the OK button, the Mute On/Off function will be assigned to the USER
DEFINED key that you selected in step 4.

NOTE
The USER SETUP window enables you to limit available functionality by user, and also to make
system-wide settings. This window includes several pages, which you can switch between using
the tabs located at the bottom of the window.
◆ Turning mute groups on/off with USER DEFINED keys
To mute a mute group, press the USER DEFINED key to which you have assigned the Mute
On/Off function.
The LED of the USER DEFINED key will light, and all channels that belong to the selected
mute group will be muted. At this time, the [ON] key of the muted channels will blink. You can
turn on multiple USER DEFINED keys to mute multiple mute groups.
To defeat muting for a mute group, press the USER DEFINED key that you lit.
NOTE
Even if a channel is assigned to a mute group, it will not be affected by operations of the USER
DEFINED key if the [ON] key for that channel is already turned off to begin with.
◆ Temporarily unmuting a channel
You can unmute a muted channel in the mute group temporarily.

Using the Mute Safe function

Specific channels that belong to a mute group can be temporarily excluded from mute group
operations (Mute Safe). Channels that are set to Mute Safe will not be affected when you mute
a mute group to which that channel belongs.
STEP

2. Press the MUTE GROUP button in the CH JOB menu.
3. Press the MUTE SAFE button in the DCA/MUTE GROUP ASSIGN MODE window.
