Main changes

■

Input channel operations

•Now the top panel faders can also be used to adjust the
send levels from input channels to MATRIX buses
(p. 3).

• In SENDS ON FADER mode, the send-destination
MATRIX bus can now be selected by pressing the
[MATRIX] navigation key and then pressing a [SEL]
key in the Centralogic section (p. 3).

• The various channel parameters can now be saved
together in internal memory as channel library data
(p. 3).

■

Output channel operations

• The various channel parameters can now be saved
together in internal memory as channel library data
(p. 3).

Scene memory

•You can now use the Global Paste function to easily
modify parameters across multiple scenes (p. 6).

• Recall Safe for the attenuator can now be selected inde­pendently of EQ (p. 7).

■

Monitor/Cue

•A monitor fader has been added to the monitor output
level control, allowing you to use the STEREO MAS­TER fader / MONO MASTER fader to control the level
(p. 5).

■

User settings

• M7CL V2 Editor now allows you to make the same
user-defined key settings as on the console itself (p. 7).

• Additional functions are now available for assignment
to the user-defined keys (p. 7).

•Regarding compatibility of data you create (p. 7).

■

Input/output patching

•You can now select POST ON (immediately after the
fader and [ON] key) as the insert or direct output posi­tion (p. 4).

• When specifying or clearing a GEQ insertion, insert
will now be turned on/off automatically (p. 4).

■

EQ and Dynamics

• The minimum level for an input channel’s GATE
threshold level is now -72 dB (p. 4).

■

Grouping and linking

• When you enable channel link, HA gain and fader oper­ations will now be linked while maintaining the level
difference between channels (p. 5).

Using the faders to adjust the

send levels to the MATRIX buses

(MATRIX ON FADER mode)

You can now use the top panel faders to adjust the send
levels from input channels not only to MIX buses but also
to MATRIX buses.

In SENDS ON FADER mode, you can now use the MIX/
MTRX ON FADER button to switch between the MIX
buses and MATRIX buses as the send destinations.

Input/output channel library support

Until now, EQ and dynamics were managed as individual
libraries, but now the channel parameters (including HA
settings) can be managed together in units of channels as
channel library data, and stored, recalled, or cleared from
internal memory.
You can recall 200 different settings each from the input
channel library and the output channel library. For both
input and output libraries, only 000 (Initial Data) is a read­only preset.

The basic operations are the same for input channels and
output channels.

Using the channel library

Use the [SEL] keys to select the channel

1

whose settings you want to manage.

Press an encoder of the SELECTED CHAN-

2

NEL section to access the SELECTED
CHANNEL VIEW screen.

MIX/MTRX ON FADER select button

Each time you press this button, you’ll switch between MIX
ON FADER mode and MATRIX ON FADER mode.

B

MIX/MATRIX bus select button

Use these buttons to switch the send destination MIX bus or
MATRIX bus. The buttons will be joined if two buses are set
to stereo.

Using the Centralogic section’s

[SEL] keys to select a MATRIX bus

In SENDS ON FADER mode, the send-destination
MATRIX bus can now be selected by pressing the
[MATRIX] navigation key and then pressing a [SEL] key
in the Centralogic section.

Press the LIBRARY tool button to access

3

the INPUT CHANNEL LIBRARY window /
OUTPUT CHANNEL LIBRARY window.

The library window contains the following items.

[INPUT CHANNEL LIBRARY]

CURRENT TYPE

1

(OUTPUT CHANNEL LIBRARY only)

Displays the type of channel selected by the [SEL] key.

B

Library type (OUTPUT CHANNEL LIBRARY only)

Displays the type of channel for the library item in the list.

NOTE

• If you recall to a channel that is channel-linked, linking will be
cancelled for the recalled channel.

POST ON added as an insert /

direct out position

You can now select POST ON (immediately after the
fader and [ON] key) as the insert or direct output position
for input/output channels.

NOTE

•For the output channel library, if the type of channel selected
by the [SEL] key differs from the type of channel selected in
the list, an indication of “CONFLICT” is shown at the right of
CURRENT TYPE. Recall can be executed even if the “CON­FLICT” indication is shown, but since the constituent parame­ters will be different, parameters that do not exist in the library
will be set to their default values.

Library list

C

Selects the library item that will be the object of the opera­tion. The selected library item will move to the center, and
will be highlighted.

D

STORE button

Stores the settings of the currently selected channel into the
selected location of the list. When you press this button, the
LIBRARY STORE window will appear, allowing you to
name the settings.

E

RECALL button

Recalls the settings shown in the list into the currently
selected channel.

F

CLEAR button

Clears (deletes) the library item selected in the list. When you
press this button, a dialog box will ask you to confirm the
Clear operation.

Insert is automatically turned

on/off when GEQ insertion is enabled

or cancelled

If a rack in which a GEQ is mounted is specified as the
insert-out or insert-in, the other patch point will automati­cally be assigned to the same rack. At the same time,
insertion is now automatically turned on. Additionally, if
you defeat the insert-out or insert-in of a rack in which a
GEQ is mounted, the other patch point will automatically
be defeated, and insertion will automatically be turned off.

Changed minimum value of the

GATE threshold level

The minimum threshold level for an input channel GATE
is now -72 dB.

By turning any one of the multifunction

4

encoders, move the highlighted line in the
list to select the library number you want to
store, recall, or clear.

Press the STORE button, RECALL button,

5

or CLEAR button.

The rest of the steps are the same as for other libraries.
