Added gain function

If GC (Gain Compensation) is enabled, you can link the digital gain to the analog gain operation.

While you are controlling the analog gain, the Gain Compensation function enables you to modify the
level on your own console without affecting the level of other consoles.

button

Grouping and linking

DCA Roll-out function

You can now access all of the channels assigned to a DCA group simultaneously through the fader
banks.

This function enables flexible fader operations. For example, while controlling the DCA fader in the
Centralogic section, you can use the Roll-out function to access (roll-out) and control the faders
(assigned to the corresponding DCA group) through the fader bank located to the left of the
Centralogic section. Alternatively, you can control the faders rolled out to the Centralogic section via
DCA Roll-out, while operating the DCA faders through the fader bank on the left.

■ DCA Roll-out operation

1. Use a bank select key to select the DCA group that you want to control, then press

the [SEL] key for that DCA group.

DCA Roll-out mode is engaged, and the faders that have been assigned to the DCA group will be
rolled out.

2. If you press the [SEL] key for another DCA group, faders that have been assigned

to that DCA group will be rolled out.

3. Press the same [SEL] key again to exit DCA Roll-out mode.

NOTE

• You cannot turn Roll-out mode on while operating the DCA group (for example, while assigning
channels or editing the group name).

• Even if Roll-out mode is turned on while you are controlling a GEQ via faders, you cannot edit
the DCA group using the faders.

• If the number of channels assigned to a DCA group exceeds the number of faders in the block
(that is a roll-out target), you will be unable to control extra channels.

• All bank select keys in the block (to which the displayed channels belong) will light up.

• If the faders are rolled out to the Centralogic section (block B), the IN/OUT select keys in the
Centralogic section will be disabled.

• Bank select keys in blocks in which no faders are rolled out will operate normally.

■ Setting the DCA Roll-out function

1. In the Function Access Area, press the CH JOB button.

2. Press the DCA GROUP button to access the DCA/MUTE

GROUP ASSIGN MODE popup window.

3. Press the DCA ROLL-OUT button.

Added DCA output channels

You can now assign the Stereo/Mono bus master, Mix bus master, and Matrix bus master channels to a
DCA group.

DCA groups were formerly used exclusively for input channels. However, with this new feature, you can
use the DCA groups for output master channels, which enables for more flexible simultaneous controls.

NOTE

You cannot turn DCA Roll-out mode on if one of the following popup windows is open. If DCA
Roll-out mode is already turned on, opening one of the windows will cause DCA Roll-out mode
to quit.

- DCA/MUTE GROUP ASSIGN MODE popup window

- RECALL SAFE MODE popup window

3. Use the DCA GROUP select buttons to select the DCA group to which you want to

assign channels.

4. Press the [SEL] key for the output channel to select the channel that you want to

assign.

5. When you finish assigning the channels, press the CLOSE button to close the

popup window, then press the “x” symbol in the Function Access Area (CH JOB
display).

Grouping and linking

Added mute group function

You can now unmute a muted channel in the mute group temporarily.

If the master button is turned on for the mute group to which the target channel belongs, press the [ON]
key for that channel to temporarily unmute the channel. However, in Preview mode, any operation
during mute will be invalid.

Added channel link function

Recall Safe parameters are now linked for linked channels.

If you specify Recall Safe parameters for the selected channel in the RECALL SAFE MODE popup
window, the Recall Safe parameter setting will be effective on other channels that are linked to the
selected channel.

Added channel job function

Now CL units support the Mix Minus function, which removes a specific channel signal from the
signals sent to the MIX/MATRIX buses. You can use this function to quickly send monitoring signals
to a performer or announcer simply by removing his or her audio signal.

NOTE

This Mix Minus function is a shortcut for settings, rather than an operation to switch between
modes. Therefore, even after using this function, you can still edit any parameter on the window
without restrictions.

■ Mix Minus operation

2. The MIX MINUS popup window will open.

HINT

You can also access the MIX MINUS popup window by pressing the CH JOB button in the
Function Access Area, then pressing the MIX MINUS button.

1. While holding down the [SEL] key, press the MIX knob

or MATRIX knob in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.

3. If you wish to remove an additional input channel, press the corresponding [SEL]

key.

4. If necessary, in the DESTINATION field, select a bus.

NOTE

You cannot select a FIXED bus.

5. Press the OK button to set the parameters as follows:

•  e send level of the signals sent from the selected input channels is lowered to –∞ dB.

• The send level of the signals sent from all other input channels is set to nominal (0.0dB).

• Send to the destination bus is turned on, and the send point is switched to POST.

NOTE

For the stereo input channels, the send level of the signal sent from both channels is set to –∞ dB.

Scene memory

Added scene memory function

Now you can create a read-only scene memory.

By specifying certain scenes as read-only, you can prevent those scenes from being overwritten when
you load a console file.

■ SCENE LIST window

• R (READ ONLY) symbol

Not only will the scene be protected, it will also not be overwritten by any file loaded from a USB
flash drive. You can only apply the protect setting to scenes with consecutive scene numbers
starting with scene #001.

•No symbol

No scene will be protected.

NOTE

The R symbol for scene number 000 cannot be disabled.

1 R symbol (READ ONLY)/Protect symbol

An “R” symbol is displayed for read-only scenes, and a protect (lock) icon is displayed for write­protected scenes.

To enable/disable the scene protect setting, press the R symbol or protect symbol of the selected
scene. Pressing the protect (lock) symbol or the R (read-only) symbol repeatedly will switch
between displaying and hiding the corresponding symbol.

• Protect (lock) symbol

You will be unable to overwrite the scene.

V2.0 Supplementary Manual

Graphic EQ, Effects, and Premium Rack

Enhanced Graphic EQ functions

Now you can compare the sound before and after gain adjustments during GEQ operations.

Graphic EQ, Effects, and Premium Rack

In the GEQ popup window, use the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field to specify the frequency band
you want to control. Adjust the gain value using the fader assigned for the specified frequency band.
Press the lit [ON] key to make it go dark, and the gain value of the corresponding frequency band will
immediately return to ± 0dB.

With CL version 2.0 or later, pressing the [ON] key again for this band will restore the adjusted gain
value. In this way, comparison is easy and quick.

However, please note that if the [ON] key for this band is off and if you press the [ON] key for the fader
of a different frequency band, the adjusted gain value will be canceled and will return to ± 0dB.
