Sending The Signal From An Input Channel To The Matrix Buses; Using The Selected Channel Section - Yamaha M7CL Owner's Manual

Sending the signal from an input channel to the MATRIX buses

Sending the signal from an input channel to the MATRIX buses
This section explains how to send the signal from an input channel to MATRIX buses 1–8. The
MATRIX buses are used to produce a mix that is independent of the STEREO bus or MIX buses,
mainly for sending to a master recorder or to the monitor system for the musicians.
You can send a signal from an input channel to the MATRIX buses in the following two ways.

■ Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section

In this method, you use the encoders of the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust the send levels to the MATRIX buses.
When using this method, the signals sent from a specific input channel to all MATRIX buses can be adjusted simulta-
neously.
■ Using the Centralogic section
In this method, you use the multifunction encoders of the Centralogic section to adjust the send levels to the MATRIX
buses. When using this method, the signals sent from eight consecutive input channels to a specific MATRIX bus can be
adjusted simultaneously.
Using the SELECTED CHANNEL
section
Here's how you can use the encoders of the SELECTED
CHANNEL section to adjust the send levels of the signals
sent from a specific input channel to all MATRIX buses.
1
Make sure that an output port is assigned
to the MATRIX bus to which you want to
send signals, and that your external device
is connected to the corresponding output
port.
For details on assigning an output port to a MATRIX
bus refer to p. 95. For details on connecting an exter-
nal device, refer to p. 39.
2
Use the [SEL] keys of the top panel to
select the input channel that will send sig-
nals to the MATRIX buses.
3
Press any one of the encoders of the
SELECTED CHANNEL section to access
the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen.
Adjustments of send levels from the input channel to
the MIX buses / MATRIX buses is done in the TO
MIX/TO MATRIX field of this screen.

1 TO MIX/TO MATRIX field
In this field you can switch the on/off status and adjust
the level of the signal sent from the input channel to
the MIX buses / MATRIX buses.
B
TO MIX/TO MATRIX buttons
These buttons select the send destination that is con-
trolled by the TO MIX/TO MATRIX field. If the TO
MATRIX button is on, you can control the signal sent
to the MATRIX bus.
C
TO MATRIX SEND LEVEL knob
Adjusts the send level of the signal sent from the input
channel to MATRIX bus. To adjust the send levels, use
the encoders of the SELECTED CHANNEL section.
If the send-destination MATRIX bus is set to stereo,
the left knob of the two adjacent knobs will operate as
a PAN knob (for a ST IN channel, the BALANCE
knob).
D
TO MATRIX SEND ON/OFF button
This is an on/off switch for the signal sent from the
input channel to MATRIX bus.
An indication of "PRE" in black characters on a white
background is shown above these buttons only if PRE
(pre-fader) is selected as the position from which the
signal is sent from the input channel. This indication is
not shown for POST (post-fader). (For details on how
to switch between PRE and POST → p. 77).

In the TO MIX/TO MATRIX field in the
screen, make sure that the TO MATRIX but-
ton is turned on.
When the TO MATRIX button is on, the TO MIX/TO
MATRIX field shows the knobs and buttons for
MATRIX buses 1–8. If this button is off, press the but-
ton to turn it on.
If necessary, you can specify two adjacent odd-num-
bered/even-numbered MATRIX buses as a stereo bus
and link the main parameters (→ p. 212).
