Graphic Eq And Effects; About The Virtual Rack - Yamaha M7CL Owner's Manual

Graphic EQ and effects

This chapter explains how to use the built-in graphic EQ and effects, and how
to perform remote control operations via the dedicated protocol to control an
external head amp (e.g, Yamaha AD8HR, SB168-ES) from the M7CL.
The M7CL lets you use the built-in graphic EQ (subsequently abbreviated as "GEQ") and effects
to modify signals. You can use two types of GEQ; 31BandGEQ which lets you freely adjust thirty-
one bands (frequency regions), and Flex15GEQ which lets you adjust any fifteen of thirty-one
bands. You can also use 54 different effect types.
In order to use a GEQ or effect, you must mount the GEQ or effect in one of the eight virtual racks, and patch the input and
output of that rack to the desired signal route. In other words, the operation is just as though you had installed a signal pro-
cessor or effect device in an actual rack, and used patch cords to connect it. Only GEQ can be mounted in racks 1–4, and
either GEQ or effects can be mounted in racks 5–8. [Figure 1]
Up to two channels of input and output can be used for each rack. (However if the "31BandGEQ" is mounted in a rack,
there will be only one channel each for input and output.) [Figure 2] shows the signal flow for the virtual racks.

HINT
• The M7CL provides a rack for mounting external head amps (e.g, Yamaha AD8HR, SB168-ES) as well as the
virtual rack for GEQ and effects. For details, refer to "Using an external head amp" ( → p. 190).
