Sending Signals From Mix Channels And Stereo/Mono Channels To Matrix Buses - Yamaha QL5 Reference Manual

Sending signals from MIX channels and STEREO/
MONO channels to MATRIX buses
You can send a signal from a MIX or STEREO/MONO channel to MATRIX buses 1–8 in the
following two ways.
Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section
With this method, you use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send levels to the
MATRIX buses. This method allows you to simultaneously control the signals sent from a
specific MIX, STEREO (L/R), or MONO (C) channel to all MATRIX buses.
 Using the faders (SENDS ON FADER mode)
With this method, you switch the QL series unit to SENDS ON FADER mode, and use the
faders on the top panel to adjust the level of signals sent to the MATRIX buses. When using
this method, signals sent from MIX and STEREO/MONO channels to a specific MIX/MATRIX
bus can be adjusted simultaneously.
Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section
Use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send level of signals sent from the desired
MIX, STEREO (L/R) or MONO (C) channel to all MATRIX buses.
STEP
1. Assign an output port to the MATRIX bus to which you want to send signals, and
connect an external device.
2. Use the Bank Select keys in the Fader Bank section and the [SEL] keys on the top
panel to select the channels that will send signals to the MATRIX buses.
3. In the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen, turn on the TO MATRIX SEND ON/OFF
button for the send-destination MATRIX bus.
4. Use the [TOUCH AND TURN] knob to adjust the send levels to the MATRIX buses.
