SELECTED CHANNEL section

This chapter explains how to use the SELECTED CHANNEL section and the SELECTED CHANNEL

VIEW screen to control the selected channel.

About the SELECTED CHANNEL section

The SELECTED CHANNEL section located to the left of the display corresponds to the mixer module

on a conventional analog mixer, and enables you to manually adjust all the major parameters of the

currently-selected channel.

Operations in this section will affect the channel that was most recently selected by its [SEL] key. If you

have assigned an ST IN channel or STEREO channel to a single channel strip, either the L or the R

channel will be selected, and the major parameters for L and R channels will be linked. You can use the

knobs on the panel to control mix parameters such as head amp gain, HPF/EQ settings, the threshold

setting of the dynamics processors, pan/balance settings, and send levels to the MIX/MATRIX buses.

Operations in the SELECTED CHANNEL section

Follow the steps below to perform operations in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.

1. Use a [SEL] key to select the channel you want to control.

To select a channel, press a [SEL] key in the top panel channel strip section, the Centralogic

section, or the master section.

Press the appropriate bank select key so that the

channels you want to control are assigned to the

top panel.

The number and name of the currently-selected

channel is shown in the channel select field

located in the Function Access Area of the touch

screen.

NOTE

• If an ST IN channel or STEREO channel has

been assigned to a single channel strip, you can switch between L and R by repeatedly pressing

the same [SEL] key.

• You can also switch channels by pressing the channel select field located in the Function Access

Area. Press the left side of the field to select the preceding channel. Press the right side of the

field to select the next channel.

2. Press one of the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.

Press a knob in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to display the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW

screen for the currently-selected channel. If you leave this screen displayed, you will always be able

to view the settings in the screen while operating the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL

section.

NOTE

If you have turned on the option “POPUP APPEARS WHEN KNOB(S) PRESSED” on the

PREFERENCE tab (accessed by pressing the SETUP button, then the USER SETUP button),

pressing a knob repeatedly will open or close the popup window (1ch).

Even if a different screen is selected, the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section will always

affect the currently-selected channel. In this case, a window indicating the value of that parameter

will appear on screen when you operate a knob.

3. Use the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section and the buttons on the

SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen to edit the parameters of the selected channel.

This chapter explains how to edit the input patching and output patching, how to connect inserts, and

how to use direct outputs.

CL console internal patching and Dante audio

network patching

The following diagram shows the signal flow through the CL series console, I/O devices, and Dante

audio network.

Input patching

CL series consoles and I/O devices feature two types of patching: Dante audio network patching and

CL console internal patching.

For Dante audio network patching, you will use the DANTE INPUT PATCH popup window. In this

window, you can patch CL console and I/O device inputs. Sixty-four (64) channels can be input from a

Dante audio network to a CL series console. You can choose up to 64 channels from maximum of 512

channels (logical value) of Dante audio network signals. Select the I/O devices (within 64 channels) that

you want to control from the CL series console.

Then, route the input signals (that were patched in the DANTE INPUT PATCH popup window) to

channels on the CL series console. To do this, choose input ports from DANTE 1–64 in the GAIN/

PATCH popup window.

NOTE

By default, DANTE 1–64 are assigned to input channels 1–64.

Output patching

Use the OUTPUT PORT popup window to patch CL console’s output channels and Dante audio

network. In this window, assign output channel signals to DANTE 1–64 ports.

NOTE

By default, MIX 1–24 are assigned to DANTE 1–24, MATRIX 1–8 are assigned to DANTE 25–32,

STEREO L/R are assigned to DANTE 33/34, and MONO is assigned to DANTE 35.

Next, patch the output signals from DANTE 1–64 (assigned in the OUTPUT PORT popup window) to

I/O device outputs. Use the OUTPUT PATCH popup window of the I/O device to make these

assignments.

Recording or playing back using DAW on a

computer

If you plan to add DAW software, such as Steinberg Nuendo, to an audio network that includes a CL

console and I/O devices, you must use Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) driver software. DVS works as

an audio interface, making it possible to transmit signals between a DAW and an audio network (that

includes a CL series console and I/O devices). In this way, you will be able to make multi-track

recordings of live performances or use live recordings that were made a day earlier for a virtual sound

check.

This section explains how to perform the setup to add DAW software to an audio network.

Required devices and software

• CL series console; I/O device

functionality that makes them work well together. For details, refer to “Using the CL console with

Nuendo Live” on page 188.

Input and output patching

Reference Manual

Word clock settings

In a Dante network, the master device supplies accurate word clock to other devices on the network. If

the master device is removed from the network or breaks down, another device will automatically take

over as the clock master.

To make this setting, in the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button, then WORD CLOCK/

SLOT button to access the WORD CLOCK/SLOT popup window.

Setting up Dante Virtual Soundcard

Install a Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) and the

Dante Controller in a computer that you want to

use for audio recording.

Then, connect the GbE-compatible network port

on the computer to a GbE-compatible network

switch. Configure the computer to obtain an IP

address automatically (this is the default setting).

Before you start DVS, select the desired audio

format (e.g., 48kHz, 24-bit) and Dante latency.

(Select a higher latency value to maintain network

stability during the use of many channels.) For

Advanced settings, select the number of channels

to be used for recording and playback (the default is 8 x 8). Please refer to the Dante Virtual Soundcard

User’s Guide for more information on the ASIO setting (Windows).

Setting up Dante Controller

Connect the network port on the computer to a GbE-compatible network switch. Configure the

computer to obtain an IP address automatically (this is the default setting).

The following settings can be made via Dante Controller.

• For multi-track recording: Patch audio signals from the I/O device to DVS for multi-track recording.

• For virtual sound check: Patch audio signals in such a way that they will be output from the computer

to the Dante audio network, then routed to the channels on the CL console.

Please refer to the Dante Controller manual for more information about operations and settings of the

Dante Controller.

Setting up DAW software

You must make driver settings in your DAW software. In the device setting window, select “Dante

Virtual Soundcard-ASIO” (for Windows PC) or “Dante” (for Mac).

Some DAW software may require internal patching with the driver. For more information, refer to the

DAW software manual.

If you’re using Nuendo Live DAW software, see also “Using the CL console with Nuendo Live” on

page 188.

Audio recording and playback

After you have made the driver settings in your DAW software, you can record and play back audio.

For multi-track recording, set the input ports for tracks in DAW software to the ports that receive audio

signals from the I/O device.

For a virtual sound check, you must route recorded audio signals to the input channels on the CL

console. To do so, to patch the signals so that the signals will be output from the DAW software to

DANTE 1–64 on the CL console. It may be convenient for you later if you store two sets of the DANTE

INPUT PATCH settings in the library: one set for routing audio signals from the I/O device, and

another set for routing audio signals from DAW software. In this way, you will be able to switch between

patch settings without starting Dante Controller. In addition, you will be able to patch a specific channel

(such as a vocal) to the I/O device to monitor during a virtual sound check.

Input channels

Reference Manual

Input channels

This chapter explains various operations for input channels.

Signal flow for input channels

The input channels comprise the section that processes signals received from the I/O devices, rear panel

input jacks, or slots 1–3, and sends them to the STEREO bus, MONO bus, MIX buses, or MATRIX

buses. There are two types of input channels, as follows.

MONO channel

These channels are used to process monaural signals. When the CL series console is in the default state,

the input signal from the Dante connector is assigned.

STEREO channel

These channels are used to process stereo signals. When the CL series console is in the default state, the

input signal from the EFFECT RACK 1–8 is assigned.

•INPUT PATCH

Assigns input signals to the input channels.

• Ø (phase)

Switches the phase of the input signal.

• DIGITAL GAIN

Attenuates/boosts the level of the input signal.

• HPF (High Pass Filter)

This is a high pass filter that cuts the region below the specified frequency.

• 4 BAND EQ (4 band equalizer)

A parametric EQ with four bands: HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID, and LOW.

• DYNAMICS 1

This is a dynamics processor that can be used for gating, ducking, expander, or compressor.

• DYNAMICS 2

This is a dynamics processor that can be used as a compressor, compander, or de-esser.

•INPUT DELAY

Corrects input signal delay. You can specify up to 1000ms.

• LEVEL/DCA 1–16

Adjusts the input level of the channel.

• ON (on/off)

Turns the input channel on or off. If this is off, the corresponding channel will be muted.

•PAN

Adjusts the panning of signals sent from the input channel to the STEREO bus. For the STEREO

channel, you can switch between PAN and BALANCE. The BALANCE parameter adjusts the

volume balance of the left/right signals sent from the STEREO channel to the STEREO bus. You

can turn on PAN LINK in the BUS SETUP popup window so that the setting of the PAN

parameter will also be applied to signals sent to two MIX or MATRIX buses that are set to stereo.

Input channels

Reference Manual

Setting the Gain Compensation function

If you are using an I/O device (such as an Rio3224-D) on a Dante network, you can maintain the

constant level of signal output to the audio network by using the Gain Compensation function. If the

FOH console and the monitoring console are sharing an I/O device, or if you are performing digital

recording via Dante connections, using this function will maintain the signal output at a constant level

from the I/O device to the network even if the analog gain value on the I/O device is changed.

To do so, follow the steps below:

1. Sets the analog gain as described previously.

2. Press one of the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.

The SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen for the selected channel will appear.

3. Press the GAIN field in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen.

The GAIN/PATCH popup window will appear.

4. Press the GC button located to the right of the A. GAIN knob.

When the function is turned on, the button will light. Press the button once again to turn it off.

If you adjust the analog gain value while the Gain Compensation function is turned on, the head

amp level will change accordingly. However, the level of the signal output to the audio network

will automatically be corrected to the level obtained when you turned Gain Compensation on. If

you turn Gain Compensation off while in this state, the analog gain and the compensated gain

within the I/O device will return to the settings that were in effect when you turned Gain

Compensation on. Therefore, the signal level on the audio network will remain the same.

NOTE

Since the compensated gain is the gain used to automatically compensate the gain within the I/

O device, it is not shown as a parameter. The position at the moment this was turned on will be

displayed.

Adjusting the digital gain

If the Gain Compensation function is turned on, digital gain will be used to adjust the level of the signal

input to the CL’s input channels.

Follow the steps below:

1. Press the [SEL] key for the input channel that you want to control.

2. Press one of the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section.

The SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen for the selected channel will appear.

3. Press the GAIN field.

The GAIN/PATCH popup window will appear.

4. Use multifunction knob 8 to adjust the D. GAIN parameter.

NOTE

• Press the SETUP button, then the USER SETUP button, select the PREFERENCE tab, and then

set the GAIN KNOB FUNCTION to DIGITAL GAIN. You will be able to adjust the digital gain value

by using the GAIN knob on the corresponding channel strip or the GAIN knob in the SELECTED

CHANNEL section.

• You can also operate the digital gain by assigning INPUT GAIN → DIGITAL GAIN to a USER

DEFINED knob, or by assigning an ALTERNATE function to a USER DEFINED key.

Input channels

Reference Manual

Relationship between analog and digital gain while Gain

Compensation is on

If Gain Compensation is on, adjusting the analog gain by a specific amount will cause the I/O device to

output to the audio network a signal that is attenuated by the same amount. Therefore, the signals on

the audio network will maintain a constant corrected level in the digital domain.

For example, assume that the analog gain value has been set to +30 dB and Gain Compensation is now

turned on. Under this condition, if you raise the analog gain value to +45 dB, the level of the signal sent

to the audio network will stay at +30 dB (that is, attenuated by –15 dB).

At this time, the gain of each signal input to the CL series unit will be adjusted by the digital gain

parameter of the CL series console. If the FOH console and the monitoring console are sharing one I/

O device, adjusting the analog gain on the FOH console will not affect the input level on the monitoring

console, because the level of the signal on the audio network is maintained at a constant level.

However, please note that if the signal is distorted due to a high level of analog gain, you must first turn

the Gain Compensation function off, set the gain to an appropriate input level, and then turn the

function back on. If you try to lower the analog gain level while the Gain Compensation function is on,

the signal on the audio network will be amplified by the same amount due to the Gain Compensation

function, and the signal will remain distorted.

NOTE

You can perform this operation rapidly if you’ve assigned Gain Compensation on/off for the SET

BY SEL function to one of the USER DEFINED keys.

Sending a signal from an input channel to the

STEREO/MONO buses

This section explains how to send a signal from an input channel to the STEREO bus or MONO bus.

The STEREO bus and MONO bus are used mainly to send signals to the main speakers. There are two

ways to send signals to the STEREO bus or MONO bus: ST/MONO mode and LCR mode. You can

select the mode individually for each channel. These two modes differ as follows.

■ ST/MONO mode

This mode sends signals from the input channel to the STEREO bus and to the MONO bus

independently.

• Signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO bus and to the MONO bus can be switched on or

off individually.

• The panning of a signal sent from an input channel to the STEREO bus L/R is controlled by the TO

ST PAN knob. (Signals sent to the MONO bus are not affected by this knob.)

• The left/right volume balance of a signal sent from an ST IN channel to the STEREO bus is controlled

by this knob. (Signals sent to the MONO bus are not affected by this knob.)

If PAN/BALANCE mode is set to PAN, you will be able to adjust the pan position of signals sent to

the STEREO bus L/R individually (see page 37).

■ LCR mode

This mode sends input channel signals to three buses (STEREO (L/R) and MONO (C)) simultaneously.

• Signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO bus and MONO bus will be switched on or off

collectively.

• The CSR (Center Side Ratio) knob specifies the level ratio between signals sent from an input

channel to the STEREO (L/R) bus and to the MONO (C) bus.

• The TO ST PAN knob/BALANCE knob specifies the level of signals sent from an input channel to

the STEREO (L/R) bus and MONO (C) bus.

NOTE

If you want to monitor the signal of the STEREO bus or MONO bus through headphones or

similar devices, press the MONITOR button in the Function Access Area to select “LCR” as the

monitor source before you continue with the following procedure.

Input channels

Reference Manual

1. Make sure that an input source is connected to the input channel you are adjusting.

Sending a signal from an input channel to a MIX/

MATRIX bus

This section explains how to send a signal from an input channel to MIX buses 1–24 and MATRIX

buses 1–8.

The MIX buses are used mainly for the purpose of sending signals to foldback speakers on stage, or to

effect processors. The MATRIX buses are used to produce a mix that is independent of the STEREO

bus or MIX buses, and is typically sent to a master recorder or to a backstage monitoring system.

You can send a signal from an input channel to a MIX/MATRIX bus in the following three ways.

■ Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section

With this method, you use the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust the send levels to

the MIX/MATRIX buses. When using this method, signals sent from a specific input channel to all

MIX/MATRIX buses can be adjusted collectively.

■ Using the Centralogic section

With this method, you use the multifunction knobs in the Centralogic section to adjust the level of

signals sent to the MIX/MATRIX buses. When using this method, the signals sent from eight

consecutive input channels to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus can be adjusted simultaneously.

■ Using the faders (SENDS ON FADER mode)

With this method, you switch the CL series unit to SENDS ON FADER mode, and use the faders on the

top panel to adjust the level of signals sent to the MIX/MATRIX buses. When using this method, signals

sent from all input channels to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus can be adjusted simultaneously.

Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section

This section explains how to use the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust the send

levels of signals sent from a specific input channel to all MIX/MATRIX buses.

1. Make sure that an output port is assigned to each MIX/MATRIX bus to which you

want to send signals, and that your monitor system, external effect processor, or

other device is connected to the corresponding output port.

2. Use the [SEL] keys on the top panel to select the input channels that will send

signals to the MIX/MATRIX buses.

3. Press a knob in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to access the SELECTED CHANNEL

VIEW screen.

4. In the TO MIX/MATRIX field on screen, make sure that the MIX1–16 button or

MIX17–24/MATRIX button is turned on.

The TO MIX/TO MATRIX field displays the corresponding knobs and buttons. If this button is

off, press the button to turn it on.

MIX buses can be either a FIXED type that features a fixed send level, or a VARI type that features

a variable send level. The MATRIX buses are all VARI type. You can switch between FIXED and

VARI types for each two adjacent odd/even-numbered MIX buses. To do so, press the SETUP

button, the USER SETUP button, and then the BUS SETUP button to open the BUS SETUP

popup window.

If the send-destination MIX bus is a FIXED type, a circle ( ) is displayed instead of the TO MIX

SEND LEVEL knob. In this case, you cannot adjust the send level.

If the send-destination MIX bus is a VARI type, or if the send-destination is a MATRIX bus, the

TO MIX SEND LEVEL knob will be displayed in the same color as the corresponding knob in the

SELECTED CHANNEL section. In this case, you can use the corresponding knob in the

SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust the send level.

If necessary, you can specify two adjacent odd/even-numbered MIX/MATRIX buses as a stereo

bus and link the main parameters.

If the send-destination MIX/MATRIX bus is assigned as stereo, the left knob of the two adjacent

TO MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL knobs will operate as the TO MIX/MATRIX PAN knob. (If

BALANCE mode is selected in the TO STEREO/MONO popup window, it will operate as a

BALANCE knob).

For a MONO channel, the right knob will adjust the common send level to the two MIX/MATRIX

buses, and the left knob will adjust the panning between the two MIX/MATRIX buses. Rotating

the left TO MIX/MATRIX SEND PAN knob counter-clockwise will increase the amount of signal

sent to the odd-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus, and rotating it clockwise will increase the amount

sent to the even-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus.

For a STEREO channel, if BALANCE mode has been selected on the TO STEREO/MONO popup

window (8ch), the right knob adjusts the common send level for the two MIX/MATRIX buses,

and the left knob adjusts the volume balance of the left and right signals sent to the two MIX/

MATRIX buses. Rotating the left TO MIX/MATRIX SEND BAL knob counter-clockwise will

increase the amount of signal sent from the L-channel to the odd-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus,

and rotating it clockwise will increase the amount sent from the R-channel to the even-numbered

MIX/MATRIX bus. If PAN mode has been selected in the TO STEREO/MONO popup window

(8ch), the left knob will function as the PAN knob. The right knob will function as send level, just

as in BALANCE mode.

5. Make sure that the TO MIX/MATRIX SEND ON/OFF button is turned on for the

send-destination MIX bus.

If this button is off, press the button on screen to turn it on.

6. In the SELECTED CHANNEL section, use the MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL knobs to

adjust the send levels to the MIX/MATRIX buses.

NOTE

If you want to monitor the signal being sent to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus, use the Bank Select

keys in the Centralogic section to access the corresponding MIX/MATRIX channel, and then

press the appropriate [CUE] key in the Centralogic section.

7. You can use the [SEL] keys on the top panel to switch input channels and control

the send level to all MIX/MATRIX buses in the same way.

Using the faders (SENDS ON FADER mode)

You can use the faders on the top panel to adjust signals that are sent from all input channels to a specific

MIX/MATRIX bus.

1. Make sure that an output port is assigned to each MIX/MATRIX bus to which you

want to send signals, and that your monitor system, external effect, or other device

is connected to the corresponding output port.

2. In the Function Access Area, press the SENDS ON FADER button.

The CL series unit will switch to SENDS ON FADER mode. The faders in the Channel Strip

section and Master section will move to the send levels of the signals that are routed from each

channel to the currently-selected MIX/MATRIX bus. The [ON] keys will also change to the SEND

ON status.

If you’ve used the bank select keys to assign input channels to the Centralogic section, the

corresponding channels will change to indicating the send levels and ON settings for the signals

sent from those channels to the currently selected MIX/MATRIX bus. If the Centralogic section

has been assigned to output channels, and the send-destination bus is MIX, each channel will still

show the fader value and ON setting. If the send-destination bus is MATRIX, the Centralogic

section will change to show the send level and ON setting for the signals sent from the MIX/

STEREO/MONO channels to the currently selected MATRIX bus. MATRIX channels will

continue showing the channel fader values and ON setting.

In SENDS ON FADER mode, the Function Access Area in the display will show the buttons that

Output channels

This chapter explains output channels (MIX channels, MATRIX channels, STEREO channels, MONO

channels).

Signal flow for output channels

The output channel section takes the signals sent from the input channels to the various buses,

processes them with EQ and dynamics, and sends them to output ports or other buses. The following

types of output channels are provided.

MIX channels

These channels process signals sent from input channels to MIX buses, and output them to the

corresponding output port, MATRIX bus, STEREO bus, or MONO (C) bus.

STEREO channel/MONO (C) channel

Each of these channels processes the signal sent from the input channels to the STEREO bus or MONO

mode, the STEREO (L/R) channels and the MONO (C) channel can be used together as a set of three

output channels.

MATRIX channel

These channels process the signals sent from input channels, MIX channels, and STEREO/MONO

channels to MATRIX buses, and send them to the corresponding output ports.

• 4 BAND EQ (4 band equalizer)

A parametric EQ with four bands: HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID, and LOW.

• DYNAMICS 1

This is a dynamics processor that can be used as a compressor, expander, or compander.

EQ and Dynamics

Reference Manual

EQ and Dynamics

This chapter explains the EQ (equalizer) and dynamics that are provided on each channel of the CL

series console.

About EQ and dynamics

Each input channel and output channel on a CL series console provides a four-band EQ and dynamics.

EQ can be used on all input channels and all output channels. An attenuator is provided immediately

before the EQ, allowing you to attenuate the level of the input signal so that the GAIN setting for EQ

will not cause the signal to clip. Input channels also provide a high-pass filter that is independent of the

EQ.

Input channels provide two dynamics processors: Dynamics 1 can be used as a gate, ducking device,

compressor, or expander, while Dynamics 2 can be used as a compressor, hard compander, soft

compander, or de-esser. Output channels provide one dynamics processor, which can be used as a

compressor, expander, hard compander, or soft compander.

Using EQ

This section explains the four-band EQ that is provided on input channels and output channels.

Grouping and linking

This chapter explains the DCA Group and Mute Group functions that enable you to control the level

or muting of multiple channels together, the Channel Link function that links the parameters of

multiple channels, and the operations that enable you to copy or move parameters between channels.

About DCA groups and Mute groups

CL series consoles feature sixteen DCA groups and eight mute groups that enable you to control the

level of multiple channels simultaneously.

DCA groups enable you to assign input channels to sixteen groups, so that the Centralogic section

faders 1–8 can be used to control the level of all channels in each group. A single DCA fader will control

the level of all input channels belonging to the same DCA group while maintaining the level difference

between the channels. This provides a convenient way in which drum mics, for example, can be

grouped.

Mute groups enable you to use USER DEFINED keys [1]–[16] to mute or unmute multiple channels in

a single operation. You can use this to cut out multiple channels simultaneously. Mute groups 1–8 can

be used with both input channels and output channels. Both types of channels can exist in the same

group.

Using DCA groups

This section explains how to assign input channels to the sixteen DCA groups and use the faders in the

Centralogic section to control them.

Assigning channels to a DCA group

There are two ways to assign a channel to a DCA group.

• You can select a specific DCA group first and then specify the channels to be assigned to the group, or

• You can select a specific channel and then specify the DCA group to which it should be assigned.

NOTE

• DCA groups can be used only with input channels.

• DCA group settings are saved as part of the scene.

■ Selecting channels to belong to a specific DCA group

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

button.

The CH JOB button lets you perform grouping,

linking, and copying operations between channels.

When you press this button, the Function Access Area

will change as follows.

About scene memories

On CL series consoles, you can assign a name to a set of mix parameter and input/output port patch

settings, and store the mix settings in memory (and later recall them from memory) as a “scene.”

Each scene is assigned a number in the range of 000–300. Scene 000 is a read-only scene used to

initialize the mix parameters. Scenes 001–300 are writable scenes.

Each scene contains the position of the top panel faders and [ON] key status, as well as the following

parameters.

• Input/output port patching

• Channel name and color

•Bus settings

• Head amp settings

• Digital gain settings

• EQ settings

• Dynamics 1 and 2 settings

• Input delay settings

• Rack (GEQ/effect/Premium Rack) settings

• Pan/balance settings

• Insert/Direct Out settings

• On/off status and send level of signals sent to MIX buses

• On/off status and send level of signals sent to MATRIX buses

• Settings for signals sent to the STEREO/MONO bus

• DCA group settings

• Mute group settings

• Channel link settings

• Panel assignment status (PANEL SNAPSHOT)

mix parameters as desired.

2. Use the SCENE MEMORY [INC]/[DEC] keys to

select the store-destination scene number.

The number of the currently-selected scene appears in

the SCENE field in the Function Access Area. When

you select a new scene number, the number will blink.

This blinking indicates that the displayed scene

number is different from the currently-loaded scene

number.

This field always displays general information about the scene. You can press this field to access

the SCENE LIST window, in which you can view and edit additional settings for the scene.

1 Scene number

Read-only scenes are indicated by an R symbol (READ ONLY) displayed here. Write-protected

scenes are indicated by a Protect symbol.

3 Scene title

Indicates the title of the currently-selected scene.

4 E symbol (EDIT symbol)

This symbol appears when you edit the mix parameters for the currently-loaded scene.

This symbol indicates that you must execute the Store operation if you want to keep the changes

you made.

If the ALL button is on, all other buttons for that scene will be turned off. Turning on any other

button will turn off the ALL button.

6. Recall a scene for which you have made Focus settings.

Only the channels (DCA groups) / parameters selected in the FOCUS RECALL popup window

will be recalled. Bus settings will always reproduce the state of the recalled scene, regardless of the

Focus Recall settings.

NOTE

• Scenes for which Focus settings are made are marked by a “FOCUS” indicator in the STATUS

field of the SCENE LIST window (COMMENT tab).

• You can use the Focus function in conjunction with the Recall Safe function. Channels or

parameters that are excluded from Recall operations by either Focus or Recall Safe will not be

recalled.

Using the Recall Safe function

“Recall Safe” is a function that excludes only specific parameters/channels (DCA groups) from Recall

operations. Unlike the Focus settings (see page 87), which you can apply to individual scenes, the Recall

Safe settings are globally applied to all scenes.

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

button to access the CH JOB popup window.

2. Press the RECALL SAFE button to access the

RECALL SAFE MODE popup window.

In this popup window, you can make settings for the

Recall Safe function. The window contains the

following items.

1 CLEAR ALL button/SET ALL button

The CLEAR ALL button turns off (disables) the Recall Safe function (that is currently set for

individual channels) and the Global Recall Safe function simultaneously. The SET ALL button

turns on (enables) these functions simultaneously.

NOTE

The selection of parameters that would be affected by the Recall Safe function will not change.

• MIX channel

• MATRIX channel

• STEREO channel

• MONO channel

If Recall Safe is turned on for global parameters, the safe parameter select buttons of the selected

channel will light green, as follows.

In this illustration, the items that are lit green indicate that the INPUT PATCH, INSERT PATCH,

and DIRECT OUT parameters have been set to Safe by the INPUT PATCH Global parameter

settings.

In the same way, turning on the Global parameters INPUT NAME, OUTPUT PATCH, OUTPUT

NAME , and HA will cause the corresponding safe parameters of each channel to light green.

All parameters are affected by Recall Safe on these channels.

Some parameters are affected by Recall Safe on these channels.

Recall Safe has been canceled on these channels.

Scene memory

Reference Manual

On-screen buttons and corresponding parameters apply to the following channels:

0 SAFE PARAMETER SELECT field (DCA)

Enables you to select parameters for a DCA group that will be affected by Recall Safe operations.

If the ALL button is on, all DCA master parameters will be subject to Recall Safe. If LEVEL/ON

is on, the DCA master level and on/off status will be subject to Recall Safe.

3. To select the channel or DCA group that will be affected by Recall Safe operations,

press the corresponding [SEL] key.

The corresponding channel or DCA group will be enclosed by a white frame in the CH RECALL

SAFE field. (However, this white frame does not mean that the Recall Safe setting is now enabled.)

The selected channel or DCA groups 1–8 or 9–16 will be recalled to the SAFE PARAMETER

SELECT field.

NOTE

If the CH RECALL SAFE field’s SET BY SEL button is on, Recall Safe will be enabled when you

press the [SEL] key, and the corresponding channel or DCA group will be highlighted in the CH

RECALL SAFE field. You can select parameters as described in step 4 even after turning Recall

Safe on.

4. If you want to enable Recall Safe for specific parameters of the selected channel or

DCA group, make the following settings in the SAFE PARAMETER SELECT field.

NOTE

• Simply selecting a parameter in step 4 does not enable Recall Safe. To turn Recall Safe on or off,

you must also perform the operation described in step 5 (see page 91).

• While the APPLY TO ALL INPUT button (or the APPLY TO ALL OUTPUT button) is on, operations

in the SAFE PARAMETER SELECT field will apply to all input channels (or output channels).

• If an input channel is selected:

Use the buttons in the lower part of the SAFE PARAMETER SELECT field (except for the “ALL”

button) to select the parameters that will be subject to Recall Safe (multiple selections are

allowed). If you want all parameters to be subject to Recall Safe, turn on the ALL button (this is

the default setting).

• If a ST IN channel is selected:

Use the same steps as those for an input channel. (Different buttons will be displayed.)

• If a MIX channel is selected:

Use the buttons in the lower part of the SAFE PARAMETER SELECT field (except for the “ALL”

button) to select the parameters that will be subject to Recall Safe (multiple selections are allowed).

In addition, you can use the WITH MIX SEND button displayed in the lower left of the field to enable

Recall Safe for the on/off status and send level of signals sent from input channels to MIX buses.

If you want all parameters shown in the lower part of the field to be subject to Recall Safe, turn on

the ALL button (this is the default setting).

• If a MATRIX channel is selected:

Use the same steps as those for a MIX channel. (Different types of buttons will be displayed.)

• If a DCA group is selected:

If you press a [SEL] key for a DCA group, all parameters for the DCA groups (selected from DCA

groups 1–8 and DCA groups 9–16) will be displayed simultaneously. For the parameters that will

be subject to Recall Safe, you can select either “ALL” or “LEVEL/ON” (fader position and on/off

status of the [ON] key). Recall Safe will be enabled when you make this selection.

If you want all parameters of the DCA group to be subject to Recall Safe, turn on the ALL button.

Unlike when a channel is selected, Recall Safe will be enabled for that DCA group the moment

you turn on either the LEVEL/ON button or the ALL button.

5. To enable Recall Safe for the selected channel, turn on the SAFE button in the SAFE

PARAMETER SELECT field. (If you have selected a DCA group, turn on either the

LEVEL/ON button or the ALL button.)

Channels or DCA groups for which Recall Safe is enabled will be highlighted in the CH RECALL

SAFE field.

6. To turn on Recall Safe for global parameters, press the GLOBAL RECALL SAFE field

to access the GLOBAL RECALL SAFE popup window, and turn on the appropriate

buttons.

These buttons correspond to the following parameters.

NOTE

If a dual-type GEQ rack or Premium Rack has been selected, you can apply Recall Safe to rack

A and B individually. For other racks, the Recall Safe setting for racks A and B will be linked.

7. When you have finished making settings, press the CLOSE button to close the

popup window. Then perform a Recall operation.

Only the selected DCA group channels and parameters will be excluded from Recall operations.

Bus settings are not subject to Recall Safe. They will always be reproduced in the recalled scene.

This means that if Recall Safe is enabled for one of several channels included in a link group or

one of two channels set to stereo, the parameter settings of that channel may differ from those of

the other channel(s). In such cases, the applicable parameter will be automatically re-linked the

next time it is operated.

You can globally apply Recall Safe to channel links by using the global parameter.

NOTE

• You can use the Recall Safe function along with the Focus function (see page 87). Channels or

parameters that are excluded from Recall operations by either Focus or Recall Safe will not be

recalled.

• If you hold down the [SEL] key while performing a recall operation, all parameters of that channel

will be treated as Recall Safe regardless of the state of the SAFE PARAMETER SELECT

selections.

Monitor and Cue functions

Reference Manual

Monitor and Cue functions

This chapter explains the Monitor and Cue functions of CL series consoles.

About the Monitor and Cue functions

The Monitor function lets you audition various outputs through your nearfield monitors or

headphones. On the front panel of the CL series console is a PHONES Out jack for monitoring, which

enables you to monitor the monitoring source signal at any time. By assigning the MONITOR OUT L/

R/C channels to the desired output jacks, you can also monitor the same signal through external

speakers.

You can select the following signals as the monitor source.

• STEREO channel output signal

• MONO channel output signal

• STEREO + MONO channel output signal

• OMNI IN 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8 channel input signal (for monitoring a two channnel pair)

• RECORDER PLAYBACK output signal

• A combination of up to eight MIX, MATRIX, STEREO, or MONO channel output signals,

RECORDER PLAYBACK output signals, and OMNI IN 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8 input signals

The Cue function enables you to check an individual channel or DCA group by temporarily monitoring

it via MONITOR OUT, CUE OUT, or PHONES. When you press the [CUE] key on the top panel, the

cue signal of the corresponding channel or DCA group is sent as the monitor output or cue output from

the selected output port.

NOTE

Be aware that if you turn CUE INTERRUPTION off in the MONITOR popup window, the cue

signal will not be sent to the connected monitor speakers. However, the cue signal will always be

sent to the PHONES Out jack.

The following diagram shows the cue/monitor signal flow.

• MONITOR SELECT

Selects the monitor source.

• METER

Detects and indicates the level of the monitor signal or cue signal.

• DIMMER

Attenuates the monitor/cue signal by a fixed amount.

• MONITOR LEVEL

Adjusts the output level of the MONITOR OUT L/R/C channels. If PHONES LEVEL LINK is ON,

this setting will also affect the level at the PHONES Out jack.

• MONITOR FADER

Use the STEREO MASTER fader or MONO MASTER fader to adjust the output level of the

MONITOR OUT L/R/C channels. MONITOR FADER is positioned in series with MONITOR

LEVEL. If PHONES LEVEL LINK is ON, this setting will also affect the level at the PHONES Out

jack.

• ON (on/off)

Switches the Monitor function on or off.

• DELAY (Monitor delay)

Delays monitor signals. The Delay function is disabled if cue signals are being output.

• PHONES LEVEL (Headphone level)

Adjusts the output level at the PHONES Out jack.

• PHONES LEVEL LINK (Headphone Level Link function)

If this function is turned on, the MONITOR LEVEL knob will adjust the level of signals sent to

the PHONES Out jack.

• CUE INTERRUPTION (Cue Interruption function)

If this function is turned on, pressing the [CUE] key on the top panel will cause the cue signal of

the corresponding channel or DCA group to be sent as the monitor output from the selected

output port. With the factory default settings, this function is turned on.

Turn it off if you do not want to output cue signals to the monitoring speakers or headphones.

Using an MBCL meter bridge (optional) on the CL3

or CL1 console

If the optional meter bridge (MBCL) is installed on the CL3 or CL1 console, you will always be able to

view the output levels of MIX, MATRIX, STEREO, MONO, and CUE channels.

The MBCL meters indicate the output levels in 12-segment steps (OVER, –3 dB, –6 dB, –9 dB, –12 dB,

–15 dB, –18 dB, –24 dB, –30 dB, –40 dB, –50 dB, –60 dB).

You can select the metering point (the point at which the level is detected) from the following choices.

For information on how to change the metering point, refer to the section “Operations in the METER

screen” on page 111.

Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack

This chapter explains how to use the built-in graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack.

About the virtual rack

CL series consoles enable you to use the built-in graphic EQ (subsequently abbreviated as “GEQ”) and

effects/processors to modify signals. You can use two types of GEQ: 31BandGEQ which enables you to

freely adjust thirty-one bands (frequency regions), and Flex15GEQ which enables you to adjust any

fifteen of thirty-one bands. You can also use 54 different effect types. The CL series consoles feature

Premium Rack, which employs VCM technology. This technology models analog circuitry on a

component level to faithfully reproduce amazing analog sounds. The Premium Rack offers six types of

processors.

In order to use a GEQ, effect, or Premium Rack, you must mount the GEQ, effect, or Premium Rack in

each virtual rack, 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 processor or effect device in an actual rack,

and used patch cords to connect it. You can mount a GEQ instance in each of the sixteen racks 1–16,

an effect rack instance in each of the eight racks 1–8, and a Premium Rack instance in each of the eight

racks 1–8.

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.)

The figure below shows the signal flow for the virtual racks.

NOTE

The CL console provides a rack for mounting an I/O device (such as an Rio series), external head

amps (Yamaha AD8HR, SB168-ES, etc.) as well as the virtual rack for GEQ, effects and Premium

Rack. For details, see “I/O device and external head amp” on page 138.

Graphic EQ operations

About the graphic EQ

The CL series console enables you to mount a GEQ in GEQ racks 1–16 and patch it to the insert-out

and insert-in of a MIX/MATRIX channel or STEREO/MONO channel. You can also mount it in

EFFECT racks 1–8 (FX 1–8) and patch it to the insert-out/in of an input channel, MIX/MATRIX

channel or STEREO/MONO channel. The gain of each band can be adjusted using the faders and [ON]

keys in the Centralogic section.

The following two types of GEQ are provided.

■ 31BandGEQ

This is a monaural 31-band GEQ. Each band is 1/3 octave

wide, the adjustable gain range is ±15 dB, and the gain of

all thirty-one bands can be adjusted.

If a 31BandGEQ is mounted in a rack, one channel of input

and output can be used for that rack.

■ Flex15GEQ

This is a monaural 15-band GEQ. Each band is 1/3 octave

wide, and the adjustable gain range is ±15 dB. The

Flex15GEQ enables you to adjust the gain for any fifteen of

the same bands as the thirty-one bands of the 31bandGEQ.

(Once you have used up fifteen bands of adjustment, you

will not be able to adjust the gain of another band until you reset a previously-adjusted band to the flat

setting.)

A rack for which the Flex15GEQ is selected will have two Flex15GEQ units (shown as “A” and “B”

respectively) mounted in that rack, and will allow two channels of input and output. If you mount a

Flex15GEQ in each rack, you will be able to use up to 48 GEQ units simultaneously.

Inserting a GEQ in a channel

This section explains how to insert a GEQ into the selected channel for use.

1. Refer to steps 1–6 in the “Virtual rack operations” on page 115 section to mount a

GEQ in a rack and set its input source and output destination.

The rack shown in the GEQ field indicates the approximate GEQ settings and the input and

output levels. A rack in which a Flex15GEQ is mounted will show information for two GEQ units

(A and B).

NOTE

If you are using a stereo source, you can mount a Flex15GEQ, or mount two 31BandGEQ units

in adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered racks. This will let you link the two GEQ units in a later

step.

About the internal effects

The internal effects of the CL series console can be mounted in EFFECT racks 1–8, and patched to an

output channel’s output or input channel’s input, or inserted into a channel. For each effect mounted in

a rack, you can choose one of 54 types of effect.

With the default settings, the signals from MIX channels 17–24 are input to racks 1–8, and from the

racks are then output to ST IN 1–8 (L/R).

NOTE

Some effect types can be mounted only in racks 1, 3, 5 or 7.

To use an internal effect via send and return, assign the output of a MIX channel. to the input of the

effect, and assign the output of the effect to an input channel. In this case, the corresponding output

channel is used as a master channel for the effect send, and the input channel is used as an effect return

channel.

Alternatively, you can assign the input and output of the internal effect to the insert-out/in of a desired

channel (except for a ST IN channel), so that the effect is inserted into that channel.

The internal effects are categorized into two groups: “STEREO type” (2-in/2-out) effects that process

the L/R channel input signals independently, and “MIX type” (1-in/2-out) effects that mix the two

channels before processing them.

If signals are assigned to both the L and R inputs of an effect, the way in which the L/R channels are

processed will depend on whether a Stereo effect type or a Mix effect type is selected, as follows.

■ STEREO type effects

■ MIX type effects

If a signal is assigned to only one input of a two-input effect, it will be processed as mono-in/stereo-out

regardless of whether a Stereo effect type or Mix effect type is selected. However, please note that this

will not apply to COMP276, COMP276S, COMP260, COMP260S, EQUALIZER601, and OPENDECK.

Using an internal effect via send and return

This section explains how to use a MIX bus as an effect send bus and a ST IN channel as an effect return

channel, so that the effect can be used in a send and return configuration.

NOTE

• If you want to use a MIX bus as an effect send bus, select “VARI” as the bus type. This will allow

you to adjust the send level separately for each input channel.

• If you want to use the input to an effect in stereo, it can be convenient to assign the send

destination MIX bus to stereo. (For details on bus assignments, see “Basic settings for MIX buses

and MATRIX buses” on page 202.)

1. Follow steps 1–3 described in “Virtual rack operations” on page 115, to mount an

effect in a rack.

The rack in which an effect is mounted will indicate the effect type used by that effect, the number

of inputs and outputs, and the levels before and following the effect.

■ Portico 5033

Portico 5033 is a processor that emulates a 5-band analog EQ developed by Rupert Neve Designs

(RND). 5033EQ features a unique tone control response. It inherited the history of the “1073,” which

was praised as one of the greatest devices developed by Mr. Rupert Neve. Yamaha’s VCM technology

has modeled the EQ to the last detail, including the input/output transformer that was designed by Mr.

Rupert Neve himself. As a result, this processor model produces musically high-quality sound even

when bypassed. Its response features unique effects. For example, if the Lo setting is cut, the low range

becomes tight, and if the Hi setting is raised, the desired range will be boosted without hurting your

ears.

1 ALL BYPASS button

Switches EQ bypass on or off. Even when EQ bypass is on, the signal will pass through the input/

output transformer and amp circuits.

2 TRIM knob

Adjusts the input gain of the effect.

3 LF/LMF/MF/HMF/HF Frequency knobs

Adjust the frequency for each band.

4 LF/LMF/MF/HMF/HF Gain knobs

Adjust the amount of boost or cut for each band.

5 LMF/MF/HMF Q knobs

■ Portico 5043

Portico 5043, like Portico 5033, is a processor that emulates RND’s analog compressor.The actual 5043

Compressor is equipped with the same input/output transformer as that of the 5033 EQ, delivering a

natural, analog-like tonality and effect. It enables you to obtain a range of results from hard

compression to natural sound, and is suitable for a broad range of audio sources ranging from drums

to vocals. The most notable feature of this model is that you can switch the gain reduction type. You can

choose either an FF (Feed-Forward) circuit type (which is the current mainstream), or an FB (Feed-

Back) circuit which was typically used in vintage compressors. This allows you to create sounds with

various characteristics as appropriate for your applications.

1 IN button

Turns the compressor’s bypass on or off. When the compressor is bypassed, the button indicator

will turn off. However, even if the compressor is bypassed, the signal will pass through the input/

output transformer and amp circuits.

2 INPUT meter

Indicates the input signal level.

One meter appears in DUAL mode, and two meters appear in STEREO mode.

3 FB button

Switches the gain reduction method between FF (Feed-Forward) circuit and FB (Feed-Back)

circuit. The button will light when FB circuit is selected.

The FF circuit is used in most contemporary compressors. This type is useful when you want to

apply compression thoroughly while maintaining a consistent tonal color.

The FB circuit is used in vintage compressors. This type is suitable when you want to apply a

smooth compression while adding a tonal color that is characteristic to the device.

4 GAIN REDUCTION meter

Indicates the amount of gain reduction.

5 THRESHOLD knob

■ U76

U76 is a processor that emulates a popular vintage compressor used in a wide range of situations. This

processor does not provide the threshold parameter that is found on conventional compressors.

Instead, the intensity of compression is determined by the balance between the input gain and the

output gain. The “All mode” setting for the RATIO parameter allows you to create a heavily-compressed

sound that is typical of this model. It produces an aggressive tonal character with a rich addition of

overtones.

1 INPUT knob

Adjusts the input level. As the input level gets higher, more compression is applied.

2 ATTACK knob

Adjusts the compressor’s attack time. Fully rotate the knob clockwise to set the fastest attack time.

3 RELEASE knob

Adjusts the compressor’s release time. Fully rotate the knob clockwise to set the fastest release

time.

4 RATIO switch buttons

Use these five buttons to set the compression ratio.

A button with the higher number will raise the compression ratio more. Pressing the ALL button

selects All mode, in which the RATIO will become high, and sharp compression with a faster

release time will be applied, creating substantially-distorted aggressive sound.

5 METER switch buttons

Switch the meter display.

• GR.....................Indicates the amount of gain reduction applied by the compressor.

• +4/+8 ................Each meter uses –18 dB as the reference level of the output signal, and indicates

“0VU” for the value of the reference level added by +4 dB or +8 dB.

• OFF...................Turns off the meter display.

6 OUTPUT knob

Adjusts the output level.

If you have adjusted the amount of gain reduction by changing the INPUT level, the level of

audible volume will also change. In this case, use the OUTPUT knob to adjust the volume level.

■ Opt–2A

Opt–2A is a processor that emulates a popular vintage model of tube opto compressors. It features

smooth compression produced using optical components such as a photocell and a light source to

control the level. It also features beautiful high-range overtones created by the warm distortion typical

of tube circuits, resulting in elegant and sophisticated sounds.

1 GAIN knob

Adjusts the output level.

2 PEAK REDUCTION knob

Adjusts the compression amount of the signal.

3 RATIO knob

Adjusts the compression ratio.

4 METER SELECT knob

Switches the meter display.

GAIN REDUCTION indicates the amount of gain reduction when the compressor is operating.

With –18 dB as the reference level of the output signal, the OUTPUT +10 and OUTPUT +4

settings respectively will cause the value +10 dB or +4 dB from this reference level to be shown as

“0VU” on the meter.

■ EQ–1A

EQ-1A is a processor that emulates a famous passive-type vintage EQ. It features a unique style of

operation, allowing you to individually boost and attenuate (cut) each of two frequency ranges (high

and low). The frequency response is utterly unlike that of a conventional EQ, and is a uniquely

distinctive characteristic of this model. The input/output circuits and vacuum tubes produce a tonal

character that is highly musical and well-balanced.

1 IN switch

Turns the processor on or off.

When the switch is off, the signal will bypass the filter section, but pass through the input/output

transformer and amp circuits.

2 LOW FREQUENCY knob

Sets the frequency of the low range filter.

3 (LOW) BOOST knob

Sets the amount of boost applied to the frequency band specified by the LOW FREQUENCY

knob.

4 (LOW) ATTEN knob

Sets the amount of attenuation applied to the frequency band specified by the LOW

FREQUENCY knob.

5 BAND WIDTH knob

Sets the width of the frequency band controlled by the high range filter.

As you rotate the knob toward the right (Broad), the band will become wider and the peak level

will decrease. This affects only the response of the boost.

6 HIGH FREQUENCY knob

Sets the frequency of the high range filter. This affects only the response of the boost.

7 (HIGH) BOOST knob

Sets the amount of boost applied to the frequency band specified by the HIGH FREQUENCY

knob.

8 (HIGH) ATTEN knob

Sets the amount of attenuation applied to the frequency band specified by the ATTEN SEL knob.

9 (HIGH) ATTEN SEL knob

Switches the frequency region attenuated by the ATTEN knob.

■ Dynamic EQ

Dynamic EQ is a newly-developed equalizer that does not emulate any specific model of equalizer. The

sidechain has a filter that extracts the same frequency band as the EQ. This allows you to apply EQ in

the same way as you might apply a compressor or expander to a specific frequency region, causing the

EQ gain to vary dynamically only when a specific frequency region of the input signal becomes too high

or too low. For example you could use this on a vocal sound as a de-esser, so that EQ is applied to a

specific frequency band only when sibilance or high-frequency consonants reach an unpleasant level,

thus preserving a natural sound that does not impair the original tonal character. Two full-band

Dynamic EQs are provided, enabling you to process a wide range of audio sources.

1 BAND ON/OFF button

Turns each band on or off.

2 SIDECHAIN CUE button

Press this button on to monitor the sidechain signal sent to the CUE bus. At this time, the graph

indicates the filter response for the sidechain.

3 SIDECHAIN LISTEN button

Turn this button on to output the sidechain signal (linked to the dynamics) to the bus (such as a

STEREO bus or MIX/MATRIX bus) to which the insert channel signal is sent. At this time, the

graph indicates the response of the sidechain filters.

4 FILTER TYPE buttons

Switch the type of the main bus equalizers and sidechain filters. Main bus EQ and sidechain filter

will link as follows:

5 FREQUENCY knob

Sets the frequency band that will be controlled by the equalizer and sidechain filter.

6 Q knob

Sets the Q value (steepness) of the equalizer and sidechain filter.

As you rotate this knob clockwise, the frequency range to which the equalizer or sidechain filter

is applied will become wider.

7 THRESHOLD knob

Specifies the threshold at which the processor will begin taking an effect.

8 RATIO knob

Sets the boost/cut ratio relative to the input signal.

Rotating the knob clockwise will set the ratio for boost, and counter-clockwise for cut. Fully

rotating the knob in either direction will create the maximum effect.

9 ATTACK/RELEASE buttons

Enable you to select one of the three settings as the attack/release time for compression or boost.

Select FAST for a faster attack and faster release. Select SLOW for a faster attack and slower

release. Select AUTO to automatically adjust the attack/release time depending on the frequency

ranges.

0 MODE buttons

Specify whether the processor is triggered when the sidechain signal level exceeds the threshold

value (ABOVE), or when the level does not reach the threshold value (BELOW).

A EQ GAIN meter

Indicates the dynamically-changing EQ gain.

B THRESHOLD meter

Indicates the sidechain signal level in relation to the threshold level.

C Graph area

Displays the equalizer response.

In most cases, this area displays the reference EQ graph that indicates the frequency and intensity,

and the dynamic EQ graph that indicates the dynamically-changing EQ responses.

If SIDECHAIN CUE or SIDECHAIN LISTEN is on, this area displays the sidechain filter

response.

Using an external head amp

If an I/O card (such as an MY16-ES64 card) supports the remote protocol of an external head amp in

the CL’s slot, you will be able to remotely control from the CL console some parameters of the external

head amp (Yamaha SB168-ES or AD8HR), such as phantom power (+48V) on/off status, gain, and HPF.

For details on the I/O card settings, refer to the owner’s manual for the I/O card.

Connecting the CL series console to an AD8HR

To remotely control the AD8HR from the CL series console, install an MY16-ES64 EtherSound card in

Slot 1 on the CL unit, then use an Ethernet cable to connect the CL unit to the NAI48-ES. Then, connect

the HA REMOTE connector on the NAI48-ES to the HA REMOTE 1 connector on the AD8HR using

an RS422 D-sub 9-pin cable. This connection enables you to remotely control the AD8HR from the CL

series console.

To transmit audio signals (input to the AD8HR) to the CL series console, connect the DIGITAL OUT

A (or B) connector on the AD8HR to the AES/EBU connector on the NAI48-ES using a D-sub 25-pin

AES/EBU cable. Signals will be sent or received between the NAI48-ES and the CL series console via

the MY16-ES64 card.

Alternatively, you can use a “daisy chain” connection to remotely control multiple AD8HR units

simultaneously. To do this, connect the AD8HR’s HA REMOTE 2 connector to the second AD8HR’s

HA REMOTE 1 connector. If you use the NAI48-ES, you can connect up to six AD8HR units. In this

case, to input AD8HR’s audio signals into the CL series console, install two MY16-EX cards on the CL

unit since each slot on the CL unit accepts up to 16 channel signals. Then, use an Ethernet cable to make

connections to the MY16-ES64.

MIDI

This chapter explains how to transmit MIDI messages from an external device to the CL series console

to control the CL console’s parameters, and how to send out MIDI messages from the CL console as you

operate the unit.

MIDI functionality on the CL series console

The CL series console can use MIDI to perform the following operations:

■ Program Change transmission and reception

When you execute a specific event (scene/effect library recall) on the CL series console, a Program

Change message (a number that is assigned to the event) can be transmitted to an external device.

Conversely, the corresponding event can be executed when a Program Change message is received from

an external device.

■ Control Change transmission and reception

When you execute a specific event (fader, knob, or key operation) on the CL series console, the

corresponding Control Change message can be transmitted to an external device. Conversely, events

can be executed when Control Change messages are received from an external device. This allows you

to record fader and key operations on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play them back

later.

■ Parameter Change (SysEx) transmission and reception

When specific events (fader, knob, or key operations, changes in system settings or user settings) are

executed, “Parameter Change” SysEx (system exclusive) messages can be transmitted to an external

device. Conversely, events can be executed when Parameter Changes are received from an external

device.

Using this capability, CL operations can be recorded and played back on a MIDI sequencer or other

external device. In addition, changes in system and user settings can be received and executed by

another CL console.

NOTE

You can select the port used for transmission and reception of MIDI messages from the rear

panel MIDI IN/OUT connectors or an I/O card installed in a slot 1. All of the functionality described

in this section will be available on the port you select.

Basic MIDI settings

You can select the type of MIDI messages the CL series console will transmit and receive, the MIDI port

that will be used, and the MIDI channel.

1. In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button to access the SETUP screen.

2. In the center of the screen, press the MIDI/GPI button to access the MIDI/GPI

Using Program Changes to recall scenes and library

items

The CL series console lets you assign a specific event (scene recall or effect library recall) to each

Program Change number, so that when this event is executed on the CL console, a Program Change

message of the corresponding number will be transmitted to an external device. Conversely, the

corresponding event can be executed when a Program Change message is received from an external

device.

1. Connect the CL series console to an external device.

The following illustration shows an example of using the MIDI IN/OUT connectors to transmit

and receive MIDI messages.

2. In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button to access the SETUP screen.

3. In the center of the screen, press the MIDI/GPI button to access the MIDI/GPI

popup window.

4. Press the MIDI SETUP tab to access the MIDI SETUP page, then select the port and

MIDI channel on which Program Changes will be transmitted and received, as

described in “Basic MIDI settings” on page 149.

5. Press the PROGRAM CHANGE tab to access the PROGRAM CHANGE page.

On the PROGRAM CHANGE page, you can specify how Program Changes will be transmitted

and received, and choose the event (scene recall or effect library recall) that will be assigned to

each program number.

This page includes the following items.

1 PROGRAM CHANGE

Switches Program Change transmission and reception on or off. This setting is linked with the

PROGRAM CHANGE section on the MIDI SETUP page.

• Tx ................................ Turn this button on to transmit corresponding Program Change

messages when events on the list are executed.

• Rx ................................ Turn this button on to execute corresponding events when Program

Change messages are received.

• ECHO ........................ Turn this button on to transmit Program Change messages that are

received from an external device.

2 PROGRAM CHANGE MODE field

Enables you to select the Program Change transmit/receive mode. This setting is linked with the

PROGRAM CHANGE MODE section on the MIDI SETUP page.

3 List

Shows the event (scene recall or library recall) assigned to each MIDI channel and MIDI Program

Change number. The list shows the following items.

• CH/BANK ................. If “CH” appears as the column heading instead of “BANK,” the column

indicates the MIDI channel (1–16) on which Program Changes are

transmitted/received. If Program Change transmission and reception is

in Single mode and the BANK button is on, this will be labeled “BANK,”

and the numerical value in this column will correspond to the bank

number.

• NO............................... Indicates the program number 1–128.

6. Use the buttons in the PROGRAM CHANGE MODE field to select the Program

Change transmission/reception mode.

You can select one of the following two Program Change transmission/reception modes.

• Multi mode (when the MULTI button is on):

Program changes of all MIDI channels will be transmitted and received. (The transmit/receive

channel specified in the MIDI SETUP page will be ignored.)

When a Program Change is received, the event assigned to the corresponding MIDI channel and

program number in the list will be executed.

When you execute the specified event on the CL series console, the Program Change of the

corresponding MIDI channel and program number in the list will be transmitted.

• Single mode (when the SINGLE button is on):

Only Program Changes of the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) channels specified in the MIDI

SETUP page will be transmitted and received.

When a Program Change on the Rx channel is received, the event assigned to that program

number of the corresponding channel in the list will be executed.

When you execute the specified event on the CL series console, the Program Change of the

corresponding program number will be transmitted on the Tx channel shown in the list. (If an

event is assigned to more than one program number on the same channel, the lowest-numbered

program number will be transmitted.)

If you turn on the OMNI button/BANK button in Single mode, operation will change as follows.

• When the OMNI button is on:

Program changes of all MIDI channels will be received. However, regardless of the MIDI channel

that is received, the event assigned to the corresponding program number of the Rx channel will

be executed. Turning on the OMNI button will not change the operation for Program Change

transmission.

• When the BANK button is on:

The CH indication in the list will change to BANK (bank number), and Bank Select (Control

Change #0, #32) and Program Change messages can be transmitted and received. This can be

convenient if you want to control more than 128 events on a single MIDI channel.

When Bank Select and then Program Change messages (in that order) are received on the Rx

channel, the event assigned to that bank number and program number in the list will be executed.

When you execute a specific event on the CL series console, Bank Select and Program Change

messages for the bank number and program number assigned to that event will be transmitted on

the Tx channel. (If the same event is assigned more than once in the list, the lowest-numbered

bank number and program number will be transmitted.)

NOTE

• The settings of the OMNI and BANK buttons are ignored in Multi mode.

• If the BANK button is on and only a Program Change on an applicable MIDI channel is received,

the last-selected bank number will be used.

• If the BANK button is on, the OMNI button can also be turned on at the same time. In this case,

Bank Select and Program Change messages of all MIDI channels will be received.

7. Use the buttons in the PROGRAM CHANGE field to turn transmission and reception

on or off, and make settings for echo output.

This field includes the following items.

• Tx button ................... Switches Program Change transmission on or off.

• Rx button ................... Switches Program Change reception on or off.

• ECHO button............ Selects whether incoming Program Changes are echoed-out from the

MIDI transmission port.

corresponding Program Change (or Bank Select and Program Change) messages to be

transmitted to an external device.

When an external device transmits Program Change (or Bank Select and Program Change)

messages on the appropriate channel, the event assigned to that program number of the

corresponding MIDI channel (or bank number) will be executed.

NOTE

• You can use the CLEAR ALL button to erase all assignments to program numbers. The

INITIALIZE ALL button will return all program number assignments to their default state.

• Assignments to program numbers are maintained as settings for the entire system, rather than

Using Control Changes to control parameters

You can use MIDI Control Change messages to control specified events (fader/knob operations, [ON]

key on/off operations etc.) on the CL series console. This capability can be used to record fader and key

operations on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play back this data later.

You can use Control Changes to control events in either of the following two ways.

■ Using Control Changes

This method uses typical Control Changes (control numbers 1–31, 33–95, 102–119). You can freely

assign an event to each control number.

■ Using NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number)

This method uses a special type of Control Change messages called NRPN.

NRPN uses Control Change numbers 99 and 98 to specify the MSB (Most Significant Byte) and LSB

(Least Significant Byte) of the parameter number, and subsequently-transmitted Control Change

messages of Control Change number 6 (or 6 and 38) to specify the value of that parameter.

The event assigned to each combination of MSB and LSB is pre-defined, and cannot be changed.

NOTE

For details on the events assigned to NRPN messages, refer to the Appendices (see page 250).

1. Connect the CL series console to an external device.

When you operate the parameters you assigned on the CL series console, Control Change

messages will be transmitted to external devices. Similarly, if the corresponding Control Change

messages are received from an external device on the appropriate channel, the parameters

assigned to those control numbers will change.

NOTE

• You can use the CLEAR ALL button to erase all assignments to control numbers. The INITIALIZE

ALL button will return all control number assignments to their default state.

• Assignments to control numbers are maintained as settings for the entire system, rather than for

individual scenes.

Using Parameter Changes to control parameters

On the CL series console, you can use a type of system exclusive messages called “Parameter Changes”

to control specific events (fader/knob operations, [ON] key on/off operations, system and user settings,

etc.) as an alternative to using Control Changes or NRPN messages.

For details on the Parameter Changes that can be transmitted and received, refer to “MIDI data format”

in the Appendices.

1. Connect the CL series console to an external device.

2. In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button to access the SETUP screen.

3. In the center of the screen, press the MIDI/GPI button to access the MIDI/GPI

popup window.

4. Press the MIDI SETUP tab to access the MIDI SETUP page, and select the port and

MIDI channel on which Parameter Changes will be transmitted and received, as

described in “Basic MIDI settings” on page 149.

NOTE

• Parameter changes include a “device number” that specifies the transmitting or receiving device.

The transmit (Tx) channel and receive (Rx) channel specified on the MIDI SETUP page are used

as the device number.

• Please be aware that if the device number included in the transmitted Parameter Change does

not match the device number of the receiving CL console, the message will be ignored.

• Do not turn Parameter Change and Control Change transmission/reception on at the same time.

Otherwise, a large amount of data will flood the MIDI port and may cause overflows or other

problems.

5. Use the Tx button and Rx button in the PARAMETER CHANGE field to turn on

Parameter Change transmission/reception.

In this state when you operate specific parameters on the CL console, the corresponding

Parameter Change messages will be transmitted. If valid Parameter Change messages are received

from an external device, the parameters assigned to those Parameter Changes will be controlled.

User settings (Security)

This chapter explains the following settings and operations: the User Level settings that restrict access

to the parameters by certain users, the Console Lock function that temporarily denies access to the

console, the Preference settings that customize the operating environment, and Save/Load operations

using a USB flash drive.

User Level settings

User Level settings allow you to restrict the parameters that can be operated by each user, or to change

the settings of USER DEFINED keys and preference settings for each user. Settings for each user can be

stored as a “user authentication key” inside the console or together on a USB flash drive, allowing users

to be switched easily. This can be convenient in the following situations.

• Unintended or mistaken operation can be prevented.

• The range of functionality operable by an outside engineer (guest engineer) can be limited.

• In situations in which multiple operators alternate with each other, output settings etc. can be

locked to prevent unintended operations.

• Preferences of each operator can easily be switched.

User types and user authentication keys

There are three types of user, as follows. To operate the CL series console, you must log-in as a user.

• Administrator ...........The administrator of the CL console can use all of its functionality. Only

one set of Administrator settings is internally maintained in the console.

The Administrator can create user authentication keys for other users.

Even if the console was locked by another user, the administrator can use

the administrator password to unlock it.

• Guest ...........................A Guest can use only the range of functionality permitted by the

Administrator. Only one set of Guest settings is maintained inside the

console.

• User..............................A User can use only the range of functionality permitted by the

Administrator. User settings are saved internally or on a USB flash drive

as user authentication keys. Multiple sets of user settings (up to ten in

internal memory) can be saved, each with the desired user name. A User

who has Power User privileges can create or edit user authentication keys

with a specified user level.

When a user logs in, the user settings for that user are applied. User settings include the following

information.

Privileges for each user are as follows.

Setting the Administrator password

With the factory settings, the Administrator password is not set, meaning that anyone can log in with

Administrator privileges and perform all operations. If you want to restrict the operations of other

users, you must specify an Administrator password.

About the USB memory recorder

The CL series console features a USB memory recorder function that lets you easily record internal

signals to a USB flash drive, or play back audio files recorded on a USB flash drive.

As the file format for recording, the CL series console supports MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3). For

playback, it supports MP3 as well as WMA (Windows Media Audio) and AAC (MPEG-4 AAC) files.

However, DRM (Digital Rights Management) is not supported.

By using the USB memory recorder, the output from the STEREO bus or a MIX bus can be recorded to

a USB flash drive, or background music or sound effects saved on a USB flash drive can be played back

via an assigned input channel.

■ Signal flow for the USB memory recorder

Using the CL console with Nuendo Live

The CL series consoles can operate in an integrated manner with Steinberg’s Nuendo Live DAW

software.

In addition to the equipment and software mentioned in “Recording or playing back using DAW on a

computer” on page 25, the “CL Extension” software which integrates the CL series and Nuendo Live can

be installed in your computer, allowing you to operate Nuendo Live from the CL series console to easily

perform multi-track recording operations.

Here we explain how to operate Nuendo Live from the CL series console.

Preparing the project

Make the following settings as described in “Recording or playing back using DAW on a computer” on

page 25.

1. Setting up Dante Virtual Soundcard or Dante Accelerator

Specify the audio format, network settings, and ASIO driver settings so that Dante Virtual

Soundcard (DVS) or Dante Accelerator (DANTE-ACCEL) can be used.

2. Setting up Dante Controller

Use Dante Controller to patch between the I/O device and DVS, and between DVS and the CL

series console. Assign the signals from the I/O device to the various input ports of DVS. Patching

can also be specified from the CL series console.

NOTE

Separately, route the signals from I/O devices to the channels on the CL series console. (see

page 138)

The following example shows Dante Controller settings for patching I/O device channels 1–16 to

DVS.

In this case, the DANTE INPUT PATCH settings of the CL series console must be switched when

changing between multi-track recording and multi-track playback. Switching will be easy if

you’ve stored the respective settings in the DANTE INPUT PATCH LIBRARY (see page 139).

3. Setting up Nuendo Live

When you start Nuendo Live and create a new project, a track for each channel specified for DVS

will be created automatically. In addition, the tracks will automatically use the channel names and

color information as specified on the CL series console.

Make the following settings in Nuendo Live.

•In Setup button → Audio System, select DVS or DANTE-ACCEL as the driver.

NOTE

For details on the settings of each software program, refer to the manual for that software.

Word clock and slot settings

“Word clock” refers to the clock that provides the basis of timing for digital audio signal processing. To

send and receive digital audio signals between devices, those devices must be synchronized to the same

word clock. If digital audio signals are transferred in an unsynchronized state, the data may not be

transmitted or received correctly, and noise may be present in the signal, even if the sampling rates are

the same.

Specifically, you must first decide which device will transmit the reference word clock for the entire

system (the word clock master), and then set the remaining devices (the word clock slaves) so that they

synchronize to the word clock master.

If you wish to use the CL series console as a word clock slave that is synchronized to the word clock

supplied from an external device, you must specify the appropriate clock source (the port through

which the word clock is obtained).

This section explains how to select the clock source that the CL series console will use.

1. In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button to access the SETUP screen.

2. In the SYSTEM SETUP field at the center of the screen, press the WORD CLOCK/

SLOT SETUP button to open the WORD CLOCK/SLOT SETUP popup window.

This popup window contains the following items.

■ MASTER CLOCK SELECT field

1 Master clock frequency display

Indicates the frequency (44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) of the currently-selected master clock. If the unit is

not synching to the master clock, “UNLOCK” will appear.

NOTE

If sample rate pull-up/down has been specified in the Dante

Controller application, this area indicates the change in the

sample rate as a percentage, such as –4.0%, –0.1%, +4.0%,

4.1667%, etc.

2 Master clock select buttons

Use the buttons to select the clock source that you want to use as the word clock master from the

following options:

• INT 48 k

• INT 44.1 k

The CL console internal clock (sampling rate 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz) will be the clock source.

• WORD CLOCK IN

The word clock supplied from the WORD CLOCK IN jack on the rear panel of the console will

be used as the clock source.

Other functions

Reference Manual

199

• DANTE 48 k

• DANTE 44.1 k

The word clock supplied from the Dante jack on the rear panel of the console will be used as the

clock source.

•SLOT 1–3

The word clock supplied via a digital I/O card installed in a console slot will be used as the clock

source. Word clock can be selected in pairs for each slot.

3 Clock status display

Indicates the status of synchronization with the master clock for each clock source. Each indicator

is explained below:

•LOCK (light blue)

Indicates that a clock synchronized with the selected clock source is being input. If an external

device is connected to the corresponding connector or slot, input/output is occurring properly

between that device and the CL series console. If the sampling frequency is close, this status may

be displayed even if not synchronized.

• LOCK, BUT NOT SYNC’ED (yellow)

A valid clock is being input, but is not synchronized with the selected clock source. If an external

device is connected to the corresponding connector, input/output cannot occur correctly between

that device and the CL series console.

• SRC ON (green)

This is a special status applied only to SLOT 1–3, indicating that the corresponding channel’s SRC

(Sampling Rate Converter) is enabled. This means that even if the signal is not synchronized,

normal input/output with the CL series console is occurring.

• UNLOCK (red)

A valid clock is being input, but the CL series console is not synchronized to the selected clock.

If an external device is connected to the corresponding connector, it will be unable to

communicate properly with the CL console.

• UNKNOWN (black)

This indicates that the clock status cannot be detected because no external device is connected or

because there is no valid clock input. You will be able to select this connector/slot, but successful

synchronization cannot occur until a valid connection is established.

If the indicator for the port selected as the clock source has turned light blue, and the clock

frequency appears in the upper left of the MASTER CLOCK SELECT field, this indicates that the

CL series console is operating correctly with the new clock.

NOTE

• If the indicator for the selected clock does not turn light blue, make sure that the external device

is correctly connected, and that the external device is set to transmit clock data.

• Noise may occur at the output jacks when the word clock setting is changed. To protect your

speaker system, be sure to turn down the power amp volume before changing the word clock

setting.

• If you attempt to select a channel (for which SRC is on) as the word clock source, a message will

appear, warning you that the sampling rate converter will be disabled.

■ SLOT SETUP field

This field enables you to make various settings related to the MY slots on the rear panel of the console.

1 Card name

Indicates the type of card installed in the slot. If nothing is installed, “----” will appear.

2 SRC buttons

The SRC (Sampling Rate Converter) function can be switched on or off for a slot in which an MY

card (MY8-AE96S) that features the SRC function is installed. If another type of card is installed,

or if no card is installed, no SRC button will appear.

3 FREQUENCY display

Indicates the sampling frequency of input signals if the installed card can detect the substatus of

input signals, such as an AES/EBU card. If another type of card is installed, or if no card is

installed, “----” will appear.

4 EMPHASIS STATUS display

Indicates the emphasis information of input signals if the installed card can detect the substatus

of input signals, such as an AES/EBU card. If another type of card is installed, or if no card is

installed, “----” will appear.

3. In the MASTER CLOCK SELECT field, select a clock source.

4. To close the WORD CLOCK/SLOT popup window, press the “x” symbol located in

Using cascade connections

Using multiple CL series consoles, or a CL console and an external mixing console (such as a Yamaha

PM5D) in a cascade connection enable buses to be shared among the devices. This can be convenient

if you want to use an external mixer to increase the number of inputs.

This section explains cascade connections and operation, using an example in which two CL units are

connected in a cascade configuration.

About cascade connections

To cascade two CL series consoles, you must first install digital I/O cards in the appropriate slots, and

connect the output ports of the sending unit (the cascade slave) to the input ports of the receiving unit

(the cascade master).

The following illustration shows an example in which three eight-channel digital I/O cards for each unit

are installed in the cascade slave CL unit and in the cascade master CL unit. The DIGITAL OUT jacks

of the sending unit are connected to the DIGITAL IN jacks of the receiving unit.

In this example, up to twenty four buses chosen from MIX bus 1–24, MATRIX bus 1–8, STEREO bus

(L/R), MONO (C) bus, and CUE bus (L/R) can be shared, and the mixed signals transmitted from the

cascade master CL unit. (If you use three 16-ch digital I/O cards, all buses can be shared among the

devices.)

You must specify bus assignments for each or channel on each CL unit. Separate procedures are

outlined below for the cascade slave and the cascade master.

NOTE

• If you are making a cascade connection between the CL unit and the PM5D, you can use the CL

unit as the cascade slave by setting the PM5D’s CASCADE IN PORT SELECT to a slot. However,

only the audio signals will be cascaded, and the control signals cannot be linked.

• You can also use an AD/DA card to make cascade connections with an analog mixer.

• There is no limit to the number of units that can be cascade-connected, but the signal delay at

the cascade slave will increase in accordance with the number of units from the cascade master.

Operations on a cascade slave CL unit

1. In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button to access the SETUP screen.

2. In the SYSTEM SETUP field located in the center of the SETUP screen, press the

CASCADE button to open the CASCADE popup window.

setting are left as they are when you change the setting to DAISY CHAIN, it will become impossible

to send and receive audio. Be sure to disconnect the cables before you change the setting.

• The CONSOLE ID and SECONDARY PORT settings will not be changed even if you initialize the

CL series console.

Setting the Dante audio network latency

An appropriate latency setting for signals sent and received via a Dante audio network varies depending on

the network connection method and size. This section explains how to set an appropriate latency setting

depending on the connection method of Dante-enabled devices that are connected to the CL series console.

■ Relationship between the switches and the number of hops

An appropriate latency setting on a Dante audio network varies depending on the number of hops in

the network.

One hop is the step from one router (switch) to the next. You count the number of hops starting from

the master device to the most distant device (assuming that all devices are connected in series).

Switches mean network switches and routers, as well as the switches that are built into CL series

consoles and I/O devices.

Set the latency value based on the number of hops. The following table shows typical latency settings

based on the number of hops.

NOTE

• Depending on network conditions, you may need to raise the latency value even if the number of

hops is small.

• If a problem occurs, select 5.0 ms so that you will be able to identify whether the latency setting

is the cause of the problem.

4 UNIT ID knob

Use the multifunction knobs to specify the UNIT ID.

The indicator shows the UNIT ID.

NOTE

• If there is one I/O device, set the I/O device’s UNIT ID to “1”.

• If multiple devices are connected, assign the ID numbers so that there is no conflict between

devices.

• For devices other than the Rio series, it is possible for devices of differing models to be assigned

to the same ID as an Rio series unit or the same ID as a different model of device. However since

the I/O device input/output port screen shows the UNIT ID, this will make it difficult to distinguish

between the units, so we recommend that whenever possible, you avoid allowing the ID numbers

to overlap.

• If you have a device whose UNIT ID or device label cannot be changed from its panel or its edit

screen etc. (such as the Dante-MY16-AUD card or DANTE-ACCEL), and you want to use that

device as a SUPPORTED DEVICE, you must change its device label via Dante Controller.

• The Dante-MY16-AUD and DANTE-ACCEL will be recognized as a SUPPORTED DEVICE if you

assign the device label as follows.

Dante-MY16-AUD: Y###-Audinate-DANTE-MY16******

DANTE-ACCEL: Y###-Yamaha-DANTE-ACCEL*******

# is a three-digit hexadecimal number containing the digits 0–9 and uppercase A–F (000–

FFF)

* indicates any desired character (alphabetical uppercase or lowercase, numerals, or -

(hyphen) may be used)

• If you are controlling the CL console from an Rio series unit, we recommend that you set the Rio

unit’s START UP MODE to “REFRESH.”

Operation will be safer with the “REFRESH” setting, since mute will be cleared after

synchronization has been completed with CL units whose system setting for REMOTE HA

ASSIGN is set to “WITH RECALL.”

With the “RESUME” setting, mute will be cleared and the unit will start operating with the settings

that were backed up by the Rio series unit itself, which could allow unexpected audio to be output.

• A single CL console can control the HA of up to eight Rio series units.

If nine or more Rio series units are connected, you can either divide the HA control between

multiple CL consoles, or you can omit specifying REMOTE HA ASSIGN for the Rio series units

whose HA does not need to be controlled, and use them with START UP MODE set to

“RESUME.”

operations or scene changes performed on the CL series console can send control signals to an external

device.

For details on how to send control signals to an external device when you switch scenes, refer to

“Outputting a control signal to an external device in tandem with scene recall (GPI OUT)” on page 93.

Using GPI IN

You can use the GPI IN ports of the GPI connector to control the parameters of the CL series console

from an external device. For example, you could use an external switch to turn the CL series console’s

Talkback on/off, operate the Tap Tempo function, or switch scenes.

4. Press the FADER START tab to access the FADER START page.

The following items are displayed.

1 CLEAR ALL button

Press this button to clear all selections.

2 OUTPUT DESTINATION field

• GPI OUT1–GPI OUT5 buttons

Select the GPI OUT port for which you want to make settings.

3 Fader indicator

This indicates the selected fader. Use the [SEL] keys of the console panel to select a fader.

NOTE

In the case of the CL3/CL1, channels that do not exist on those models will not be shown.

4 THRESHOLD field

• UPSTROKE/DOWNSTROKE knobs

These specify the level that will be the threshold for outputting a trigger signal. A trigger signal

will be output when the fader exceeds the UPSTROKE level, or when the fader falls below the

DOWNSTROKE level. If FADER TALLY is selected as the fader mode, UPSTROKE and

DOWNSTROKE specify the level range for which a trigger signal will be output. You can use the

multifunction knobs to operate these parameters.

NOTE

• The THRESHOLD values specified by the UPSTROKE/DOWNSTROKE knobs are common to

all GPI OUT ports. However, you can individually choose the channel (fader) for each GPI OUT

port.

• Only the UPSTROKE value will be valid if MODE is set to FADER START, and only the

DOWNSTROKE value will be valid if MODE is set to FADER STOP. If MODE is set to FADER

TALLY, both the UPSTROKE and DOWNSTROKE values will be valid.

5 MODE field

Here you can select the mode of fader operation that will be the trigger for signal output from the

GPI OUT port.

You can choose from the following fader modes.

•NO ASSIGN

Operating the fader of the selected channel will not cause a signal to be output.

• FADER START

A trigger signal 250 msec long will be output when the fader of the selected channel moves

upward through the specified UPSTROKE level (–138.0 dB to 10.0 dB) from a point below it.

• FADER STOP

A trigger signal 250 msec long will be output when the fader of the selected channel reaches the

specified DOWNSTROKE level (–∞ dB to 9.95 dB).

• FADER TALLY

A trigger signal will be output when the fader of the selected channel moves upward through the

specified UPSTROKE level (–138.0 dB to 10.0 dB) from a point below it. This signal will be held

until the fader reaches the specified DOWNSTROKE level (–∞ dB to 9.95 dB) or until that GPI

OUT port receives a different trigger.

Other functions

Reference Manual

226

The following illustration shows how the signal that is output from the GPI OUT port will change in

each fader mode when a fader is operated. In this example, UPSTROKE in the THRESHOLD field is

set to –60.00, and DOWNSTROKE is set to –∞. (This illustration shows the case in which is

selected as the polarity of the GPI OUT port. If the polarity is , the polarity of the output signal

will be reversed.)

NOTE

At the high level, the output signal of the port will be open. If the receiving device requires high

level, take it from the +5V power supply pin. However in this case, the amount of current is limited;

for details, refer to the “Input/output characteristics” section in the separate Owner’s Manual.

5. For each GPI OUT port, specify the channel that will cause the external device to

operate, and the type of operation.

6. When you have finished making settings, click the “x” symbol located in the upper

right to close the FADER MODE screen.

Dynamics Parameters

Input channels provide DYNAMICS section 1 and DYNAMICS section 2. Output channels provide

DYNAMICS section 1.

An input channel’s DYNAMICS section 1 provides the following four types:

GATE, DUCKING, COMPRESSOR, and EXPANDER.

An input channel’s DYNAMICS section 2 provides the following four types:

COMPRESSOR, COMPANDER-H (Compander Hard), COMPANDER-S (Compander Soft),

and DE-ESSER.

An output channel’s DYNAMICS section 1 provides the following four types:

COMPRESSOR, EXPANDER, COMPANDER-H (Compander Hard), and COMPANDER-S

(Compander Soft).

■ GATE

A gate attenuates signals below a set THRESHOLD level by a specified amount (RANGE).

■ DUCKING

Ducking is commonly used for voice-over applications in which the background music level is reduced

automatically when an announcer speaks. When the KEY IN source signal level exceeds the specified

THRESHOLD, the output level is attenuated by a specified amount (RANGE).

Parameter Range Description

THRESHOLD (dB) –72 to 0 (73 points)

This determines the level at which the gate effect is

applied.

RANGE (dB) –∞, –69 to 0 (71 points)

This determines the amount of attenuation when the

gate closes.

ATTACK (ms) 0–120 (121 points)

This determines how fast the gate opens when the

signal exceeds the threshold level.

HOLD (ms)

44.1kHz: 0.02 ms – 2.13 sec

48kHz: 0.02 ms – 1.96 sec (160 points)

This determines how long the gate stays open once

the trigger signal has fallen below the threshold.

DECAY (ms)

44.1kHz: 6 ms – 46.0 sec

48kHz: 5 ms – 42.3 sec (160 points)

This determines how fast the gate closes once the

hold time has expired. The value is expressed as the

duration required for the level to change by 6 dB.

required to activate ducking.

RANGE (dB) –70 to 0 (71 points)

This determines the amount of attenuation when

ducking is activated.

ATTACK (ms) 0–120 (121 points)

This determines how soon the signal is ducked once

the ducker has been triggered.

HOLD (ms)

44.1kHz: 0.02 ms – 2.13 sec

48kHz: 0.02 ms – 1.96 sec (160 points)

This determines how long ducking remains active

once the trigger signal has fallen below the

THRESHOLD level.

DECAY (ms)

44.1kHz: 6 ms – 46.0 sec

48kHz: 5 ms – 42.3 sec (160 points)

This determines how soon the ducker returns to its

normal gain once the trigger signal level drops below

the threshold. The value is expressed as the duration

required for the level to change by 6 dB.

■ COMPRESSOR

The COMP processor attenuates signals above a specified THRESHOLD by a specified RATIO. The

COMP processor can also be used as a limiter, which, with a RATIO of ∞:1, reduces the level to the

threshold. This means that the limiter’s output level never actually exceeds the threshold.

■ EXPANDER

An expander attenuates signals below a specified THRESHOLD by a specified RATIO.

Parameter Range Description

THRESHOLD (dB) –54 to 0 (55 points)

This determines the level of input signal required to

trigger the compressor.

8.0:1, 10:1, 20:1, ∞:1 (16 points)

This determines the amount of compression, that is,

the change in output signal level relative to change

in input signal level.

ATTACK (ms) 0–120 (121 points)

This determines how soon the signal will be

compressed once the compressor has been

triggered.

RELEASE (ms)

44.1kHz: 6 ms – 46.0 sec

48kHz: 5 ms – 42.3 sec (160 points)

This determines how soon the compressor returns to

its normal gain once the trigger signal level drops

below the threshold. The value is expressed as the

duration required for the level to change by 6 dB.

OUT GAIN (dB) 0.0 to +18.0 (181 points) This sets the compressor’s output signal level.

KNEE Hard, 1–5 (6 points)

This determines how compression is applied at the

threshold. For higher knee settings, compression is

applied gradually as the signal exceeds the specified

threshold, creating a more natural sound.

■ COMPANDER HARD (COMPANDER-H), COMPANDER SOFT (COMPANDER-S)

The hard and soft companders combine the effects of the compressor, expander and limiter.

The companders function differently at the following levels:

1 0dB and higher ................................ Functions as a limiter.

2 Exceeding the threshold ................. Functions as a compressor.

3 Below the threshold and width ..... Functions as an expander.

The hard compander has an expansion ratio of 5:1, while the soft compander has an expansion ratio of

1.5:1. The expander is essentially turned off when the width is set to maximum. The compressor has a

fixed knee setting of 2.

* The gain is automatically adjusted according to the ratio and threshold values, and can be increased by up to 18 dB.

* The OUT GAIN parameter enables you to compensate for the overall level change caused by the compression and

expansion processes.

■ DE-ESSER

This detects and compresses only the sibilants and other high-frequency consonants of the vocal.

Effects and tempo synchronization

Some effects of the CL series can be synchronized with the tempo. There are two such types of effect;

delay-type effects and modulation-type effects. For delay-type effects, the delay time will change

according to the tempo. For modulation-type effects, the frequency of the modulation signal will

change according to the tempo.

Parameters related to tempo synchronization

The following five parameters are related to tempo synchronization.

1) SYNC 2) NOTE 3) TEMPO 4) DELAY 5) FREQ.

SYNC: .................................This is the on/off switch for tempo synchronization.

NOTE and TEMPO:.........These are the basic parameters for tempo synchronization.

DELAY and FREQ.: ..........DELAY is the delay time, and FREQ. is the frequency of the

modulation signal. These directly affect the way in which the effect

sound will change. DELAY is relevant only for delay-type effects, and

FREQ. is relevant only for modulation-type effects.

How the parameters are related

Tempo synchronization calculates the DELAY (or FREQ.) value

from the TEMPO and NOTE.

Turn SYNC ON

Change NOTE → DELAY (or FREQ.) will be set

In this case, the DELAY (or FREQ.) value is calculated as follows.

DELAY (or FREQ.) = NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO)

Change TEMPO → DELAY (or FREQ.) will be set

In this case, the DELAY (or FREQ.) value is calculated as follows.

DELAY = NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO) sec

FREQ. = (TEMPO/60) / (NOTE x 4) Hz

Example 1:

When SYNC=ON, DELAY=250 ms, TEMPO=120, you change NOTE from 8th note to quarter

note

DELAY = new NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO)

= (1/4) x 4 x (60/120)

= 0.5 (sec)

= 500 ms

Thus, the DELAY will change from 250 ms to 500 ms.

Example 2:

When SYNC=ON, DELAY=250 ms, NOTE=8th note, you change TEMPO from 120 to 121

DELAY = NOTE x 4 x (60 / new TEMPO)

= (1/8) x 4 x (60/121)

= 0.2479 (sec)

= 247.9 (ms)

Thus, the TEMPO will change from 250 ms to 247.9 ms.

*a Rounded values are used for the calculation results.

Ranges of the NOTE and TEMPO values

The ranges of the NOTE and TEMPO values are limited by the ranges of the DELAY or FREQ. values.

You cannot set NOTE or TEMPO values that would cause DELAY or FREQ. to exceed their maximum

possible values when synchronized to tempo. This limitation also applies even when SYNC is OFF.

Special characteristics of the TEMPO parameter

The TEMPO parameter has the following characteristics that are unlike other parameters.

• It is a common value shared by all effects

• You cannot stored it to or recall it from the Effects Library. (You can store it to and recall it from a

Scene.)

This means that the TEMPO value may not necessarily be the same when an effect is recalled as when

that effect was stored. Here is an example.

Store the effect: TEMPO=120  Change TEMPO to 60  Recall the effect: TEMPO=60

Normally when you change the TEMPO, the DELAY (or FREQ.) will be re-set accordingly. However if

the DELAY (or FREQ.) were changed, the effect would sound differently when recalled than when it

was stored. To prevent the effect from changing in this way between store and recall, the CL series does

not update the DELAY (or FREQ.) value when an effect is recalled, even if the TEMPO is no longer the

same as when that effect was stored.

* The NOTE parameter is calculated based on the following values.

= 1/48

= 3/16

= 1/24

= 1/4

= 1/16

= 3/8

= 1/12

= 1/2

= 3/4

= 3/32

= 1/8

= 1/1

= 2/1

MIDI Data Format

This section explains the format of the data that the CL series is able

to understand, send, and receive.

1 CHANNEL MESSAGE

1.1 NOTE OFF (8n)

Reception

These messages are echoed to MIDI OUT if [OTHER COMMAND ECHO] is ON.

They are received if [Rx CH] matches, and used to control effects.

1.2 NOTE ON (9n)

Reception

These messages are echoed to MIDI OUT if [OTHER COMMAND ECHO] is ON.

They are received if [Rx CH] matches, and used to control effects.

1.3 CONTROL CHANGE (Bn)

Two types of CONTROL CHANGE can be transmitted and received; [NRPN] (Non-

Registered Parameter Numbers) and freely-assigned [TABLE] (1CH x 110) messages.

Select either [TABLE] or [NRPN].

Reception

These messages are echoed to MIDI OUT if [CONTROL CHANGE ECHO] is ON.

If [TABLE] is selected, these messages are received when [CONTROL CHANGE Rx] is

ON and [Rx CH] matches, and will control parameters according to the settings of the

[CONTROL CHANGE EVENT LIST]. For the parameters that can be assigned, refer

to “Parameters that can be assigned to control changes” on page 248.

If [NRPN] is selected, these messages are received when [CONTROL CHANGE Rx] is

ON and the [Rx CH] matches; the four messages NRPN control number (62h, 63h) and

DATA ENTRY control number (06h, 26h) are used to control the specified parameter.

Transmission

If [TABLE] is selected, and if [CONTROL CHANGE Tx] is ON when you operate a

parameter that is assigned in the [CONTROL CHANGE EVENT LIST], these

messages will be transmitted on the [Tx CH] channel. For the parameters that can be

assigned, refer to “Parameters that can be assigned to control changes” on page 248.

If [NRPN] is selected, and if [CONTROL CHANGE Tx] is ON when you operate a

specified parameter, the four messages NRPN control number (62h, 63h) and DATA

ENTRY control number (06h, 26h) are transmitted on the [Tx CH] channel. For the

parameters that can be assigned, refer to “Parameters that can be assigned to control

changes” on page 248.

CONTROL CHANGE messages are not used for transmission to CL Editor because

there is no guarantee that the contents of the assignment tables will match.

(PARAMETER CHANGE messages are always used.)

CONTROL CHANGE numbers 0 and 32 are for selecting banks.

1.4 PROGRAM CHANGE (Cn)

Reception

If [PROGRAM CHANGE ECHO] is ON, bank select messages will also be echoed

from MIDI OUT.

If SINGLE CH is selected, these messages are received if [PROGRAM CHANGE Rx] is

ON and the [Rx CH] matches. However if [OMNI] is ON, these messages are received

regardless of the channel. When these messages are received, scene memory, effect

librarya nd premium rack library are recalled according to the settings of the

[PROGRAM CHANGE EVENT LIST].

Transmission

If [PROGRAM CHANGE Tx] is ON, these messages are transmitted according to the

[PROGRAM CHANGE Table] settings when scene memory, effect library and

premium rack library are recalled.

If SINGLE CH is selected, these messages are transmitted on the [Tx CH] channel.

If the recalled scene memory, effect library and premium rack library has been assigned

to more than one PROGRAM NUMBER, the lowest-numbered PROGRAM NUMBER

for each MIDI channel will be transmitted.

PROGRAM CHANGE messages are not used for transmission to CL Editor because

there is no guarantee that the contents of the assignment tables will match.

(PARAMETER CHANGE messages are always used.)

You can choose either MULTI MIDI CH or SINGLE CH.

If SINGLE is selected

You can choose the Rx CH, OMNI CH, and Tx CH.

You can choose whether a bank select message will be added.

A bank of up to 16 can be specified.

If MULTI is selected

The Rx and Tx channels will be the same.

The assignment table will use the settings for each MIDI channel. Bank select messages

will not be added.

You can make settings for up to sixteen MIDI channels.

Data is lost when you write to the preset library.

The unique header (Model ID) identifies whether the device is a CL series.

To calculate the check sum, add the bytes starting with the byte after BYTE COUNT

(LOW) and ending with the byte before CHECK SUM, take the binary complement,

and set bit 7 to 0.

CHECK SUM = (-sum)&0x7F

Bulk Dumps can be received at any time, and can be transmitted at any time when a

Bulk Dump Request is received.

A Bulk Dump is transmitted on the [Rx CH] channel in response to a Bulk Dump

Request.

Adjust the input level of your external device as necessary. NOTE If you plan to add DAW software, such as Steinberg Nuendo, to an audio network that includes a CL console and I/O devices, you must use Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) driver software. DVS works as an audio interface, making it possible to transmit signals between a DAW and an audio network (that includes a CL series console and I/O devices). In this way, you will be able to make multi-track recordings of live performances or use live recordings that were made a day earlier for a virtual sound check. This section explains how to perform the setup to add DAW software to an audio network. With the factory settings, all are turned off. 7. If you want to change the position of the direct output, access the one-channel INSERT/DIRECT OUT popup button, and press one of the DIRECT OUT fields.

As desired, make direct output settings for other channels as well. Required devices and software • CL series console; I/O device • A computer (Windows or Mac) equipped with an Ethernet port that supports a Giga-bit Ethernet (GbE) network; DAW software • A GbE-compatible network switch • CAT5e cable • Dante Virtual Soundcard driver software • Dante Controller control software NOTE You must have a license ID to use Dante Virtual Soundcard. The license ID is included in the CL unit package. The latest information about the Dante Virtual Soundcard and the Dante Controller is available at the following website: http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ Using Nuendo Live Steinberg’s Nuendo Live DAW software can be used with the CL series console, taking advantage of functionality that makes them work well together. For details, refer to “Using the CL console with Nuendo Live” on page 188. 25 Reference Manual Input and output patching Word clock settings Setting up Dante Controller In a Dante network, the master device supplies accurate word clock to other devices on the network. If the master device is removed from the network or breaks down, another device will automatically take over as the clock master. To make this setting, in the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button, then WORD CLOCK/ SLOT button to access the WORD CLOCK/SLOT popup window. Connect the network port on the computer to a GbE-compatible network switch. Configure the computer to obtain an IP address automatically (this is the default setting). The following settings can be made via Dante Controller. • For multi-track recording: Patch audio signals from the I/O device to DVS for multi-track recording. • For virtual sound check: Patch audio signals in such a way that they will be output from the computer to the Dante audio network, then routed to the channels on the CL console. Please refer to the Dante Controller manual for more information about operations and settings of the Dante Controller. Setting up DAW software You must make driver settings in your DAW software. In the device setting window, select “Dante Virtual Soundcard-ASIO” (for Windows PC) or “Dante” (for Mac). Some DAW software may require internal patching with the driver. For more information, refer to the DAW software manual. If you’re using Nuendo Live DAW software, see also “Using the CL console with Nuendo Live” on page 188. Audio recording and playback After you have made the driver settings in your DAW software, you can record and play back audio. For multi-track recording, set the input ports for tracks in DAW software to the ports that receive audio signals from the I/O device. For a virtual sound check, you must route recorded audio signals to the input channels on the CL console. To do so, to patch the signals so that the signals will be output from the DAW software to DANTE 1–64 on the CL console. It may be convenient for you later if you store two sets of the DANTE INPUT PATCH settings in the library: one set for routing audio signals from the I/O device, and another set for routing audio signals from DAW software. In this way, you will be able to switch between patch settings without starting Dante Controller. In addition, you will be able to patch a specific channel (such as a vocal) to the I/O device to monitor during a virtual sound check. Setting up Dante Virtual Soundcard Install a Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) and the Dante Controller in a computer that you want to use for audio recording. Then, connect the GbE-compatible network port on the computer to a GbE-compatible network switch. Configure the computer to obtain an IP address automatically (this is the default setting). Before you start DVS, select the desired audio format (e.g., 48kHz, 24-bit) and Dante latency. (Select a higher latency value to maintain network stability during the use of many channels.) For Advanced settings, select the number of channels to be used for recording and playback (the default is 8 x 8). Please refer to the Dante Virtual Soundcard User’s Guide for more information on the ASIO setting (Windows). 26 Reference Manual Input channels Input channels STEREO channel These channels are used to process stereo signals.

If the FOH console and the monitoring console are sharing an I/O device, or if you are performing digital recording via Dante connections, using this function will maintain the signal output at a constant level from the I/O device to the network even if the analog gain value on the I/O device is changed. If the Gain Compensation function is turned on, digital gain will be used to adjust the level of the signal input to the CL’s input channels. Follow the steps below: To do so, follow the steps below: 1. Sets the analog gain as described previously. 2. Press one of the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section. The SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen for the selected channel will appear. 3. Press the GAIN field in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen. The GAIN/PATCH popup window will appear. 4. Press the GC button located to the right of the A. GAIN knob. 1. Press the [SEL] key for the input channel that you want to control. 2. Press one of the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section. The SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen for the selected channel will appear. 3. Press the GAIN field. The GAIN/PATCH popup window will appear. 4. Use multifunction knob 8 to adjust the D. GAIN parameter. NOTE • Press the SETUP button, then the USER SETUP button, select the PREFERENCE tab, and then set the GAIN KNOB FUNCTION to DIGITAL GAIN. You will be able to adjust the digital gain value by using the GAIN knob on the corresponding channel strip or the GAIN knob in the SELECTED CHANNEL section. • You can also operate the digital gain by assigning INPUT GAIN → DIGITAL GAIN to a USER DEFINED knob, or by assigning an ALTERNATE function to a USER DEFINED key. When the function is turned on, the button will light. Press the button once again to turn it off. If you adjust the analog gain value while the Gain Compensation function is turned on, the head amp level will change accordingly. However, the level of the signal output to the audio network will automatically be corrected to the level obtained when you turned Gain Compensation on. If you turn Gain Compensation off while in this state, the analog gain and the compensated gain within the I/O device will return to the settings that were in effect when you turned Gain Compensation on. Therefore, the signal level on the audio network will remain the same. NOTE Since the compensated gain is the gain used to automatically compensate the gain within the I/ O device, it is not shown as a parameter. The position at the moment this was turned on will be displayed. 34 Reference Manual Input channels Relationship between analog and digital gain while Gain Compensation is on Sending a signal from an input channel to the STEREO/MONO buses If Gain Compensation is on, adjusting the analog gain by a specific amount will cause the I/O device to output to the audio network a signal that is attenuated by the same amount. Therefore, the signals on the audio network will maintain a constant corrected level in the digital domain. For example, assume that the analog gain value has been set to +30 dB and Gain Compensation is now turned on. Under this condition, if you raise the analog gain value to +45 dB, the level of the signal sent to the audio network will stay at +30 dB (that is, attenuated by –15 dB). This section explains how to send a signal from an input channel to the STEREO bus or MONO bus. The STEREO bus and MONO bus are used mainly to send signals to the main speakers. There are two ways to send signals to the STEREO bus or MONO bus: ST/MONO mode and LCR mode. You can select the mode individually for each channel. These two modes differ as follows. ■ ST/MONO mode This mode sends signals from the input channel to the STEREO bus and to the MONO bus independently. • Signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO bus and to the MONO bus can be switched on or off individually. • The panning of a signal sent from an input channel to the STEREO bus L/R is controlled by the TO ST PAN knob. (Signals sent to the MONO bus are not affected by this knob.) • The left/right volume balance of a signal sent from an ST IN channel to the STEREO bus is controlled by this knob. (Signals sent to the MONO bus are not affected by this knob.) If PAN/BALANCE mode is set to PAN, you will be able to adjust the pan position of signals sent to the STEREO bus L/R individually (see page 37). At this time, the gain of each signal input to the CL series unit will be adjusted by the digital gain parameter of the CL series console. If the FOH console and the monitoring console are sharing one I/ O device, adjusting the analog gain on the FOH console will not affect the input level on the monitoring console, because the level of the signal on the audio network is maintained at a constant level. However, please note that if the signal is distorted due to a high level of analog gain, you must first turn the Gain Compensation function off, set the gain to an appropriate input level, and then turn the function back on. If you try to lower the analog gain level while the Gain Compensation function is on, the signal on the audio network will be amplified by the same amount due to the Gain Compensation function, and the signal will remain distorted. ■ LCR mode This mode sends input channel signals to three buses (STEREO (L/R) and MONO (C)) simultaneously. • Signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO bus and MONO bus will be switched on or off collectively. • The CSR (Center Side Ratio) knob specifies the level ratio between signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO (L/R) bus and to the MONO (C) bus. • The TO ST PAN knob/BALANCE knob specifies the level of signals sent from an input channel to the STEREO (L/R) bus and MONO (C) bus. NOTE You can perform this operation rapidly if you’ve assigned Gain Compensation on/off for the SET BY SEL function to one of the USER DEFINED keys. NOTE If you want to monitor the signal of the STEREO bus or MONO bus through headphones or similar devices, press the MONITOR button in the Function Access Area to select “LCR” as the monitor source before you continue with the following procedure. 35 Reference Manual Input channels 1. 2.

This popup window features four views. Use the tabs near the bottom of the window to select one of the four views. Each window view includes the following items. For MONO channels, this acts as a PAN knob that adjusts the left/right panning of signals sent to the STEREO bus. For STEREO channels, this acts as a PAN knob, and also as a BALANCE knob that adjusts the volume of the left and right signals sent to the STEREO bus. To adjust the value, press the knob to select it, and then operate the corresponding multifunction knob. 36 Reference Manual Input channels TO STEREO/MONO popup window (CH1-48, CH49-72/ST IN(CL5), CH49-64/ST IN(CL3), ST IN(CL1)) Adjusts the status of a signal sent from the corresponding input channel to the STEREO/MONO bus.

This section explains how to send a signal from an input channel to MIX buses 1–24 and MATRIX buses 1–8. The MIX buses are used mainly for the purpose of sending signals to foldback speakers on stage, or to effect processors. The MATRIX buses are used to produce a mix that is independent of the STEREO bus or MIX buses, and is typically sent to a master recorder or to a backstage monitoring system. You can send a signal from an input channel to a MIX/MATRIX bus in the following three ways. Signal level Signal sent to the MONO (C) bus Signal sent to the STEREO (L) bus Signal sent to the STEREO (R) bus L C PAN knob ■ Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section With this method, you use the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust the send levels to the MIX/MATRIX buses. When using this method, signals sent from a specific input channel to all MIX/MATRIX buses can be adjusted collectively. R Operating the TO ST BALANCE knob of an ST IN channel will change the level of signals sent from the STEREO L/R channels to the STEREO (L/R) bus and MONO (C) bus, as shown in the following diagram. ■ Using the Centralogic section With this method, you use the multifunction knobs in the Centralogic section to adjust the level of signals sent to the MIX/MATRIX buses. When using this method, the signals sent from eight consecutive input channels to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus can be adjusted simultaneously. Signal level Signal sent from the ST IN (L) channel to the MONO (C) bus ■ Using the faders (SENDS ON FADER mode) With this method, you switch the CL series unit to SENDS ON FADER mode, and use the faders on the top panel to adjust the level of signals sent to the MIX/MATRIX buses. When using this method, signals sent from all input channels to a specific MIX/MATRIX bus can be adjusted simultaneously. Signal sent from the ST IN (L) channel to the STEREO (L) bus L Using the SELECTED CHANNEL section C R TO ST BALANCE knob This section explains how to use the knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to adjust the send levels of signals sent from a specific input channel to all MIX/MATRIX buses. 1.

Press a knob in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to access the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen. If necessary, you can specify two adjacent odd/even-numbered MIX/MATRIX buses as a stereo bus and link the main parameters. If the send-destination MIX/MATRIX bus is assigned as stereo, the left knob of the two adjacent TO MIX/MATRIX SEND LEVEL knobs will operate as the TO MIX/MATRIX PAN knob. (If BALANCE mode is selected in the TO STEREO/MONO popup window, it will operate as a BALANCE knob). 4. For a MONO channel, the right knob will adjust the common send level to the two MIX/MATRIX buses, and the left knob will adjust the panning between the two MIX/MATRIX buses. Rotating the left TO MIX/MATRIX SEND PAN knob counter-clockwise will increase the amount of signal sent to the odd-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus, and rotating it clockwise will increase the amount sent to the even-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus. For a STEREO channel, if BALANCE mode has been selected on the TO STEREO/MONO popup window (8ch), the right knob adjusts the common send level for the two MIX/MATRIX buses, and the left knob adjusts the volume balance of the left and right signals sent to the two MIX/ MATRIX buses. Rotating the left TO MIX/MATRIX SEND BAL knob counter-clockwise will increase the amount of signal sent from the L-channel to the odd-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus, and rotating it clockwise will increase the amount sent from the R-channel to the even-numbered MIX/MATRIX bus. If PAN mode has been selected in the TO STEREO/MONO popup window (8ch), the left knob will function as the PAN knob. The right knob will function as send level, just as in BALANCE mode.

This chapter explains the DCA Group and Mute Group functions that enable you to control the level or muting of multiple channels together, the Channel Link function that links the parameters of multiple channels, and the operations that enable you to copy or move parameters between channels. About DCA groups and Mute groups 2. CL series consoles feature sixteen DCA groups and eight mute groups that enable you to control the level of multiple channels simultaneously. DCA groups enable you to assign input channels to sixteen groups, so that the Centralogic section faders 1–8 can be used to control the level of all channels in each group. A single DCA fader will control the level of all input channels belonging to the same DCA group while maintaining the level difference between the channels. This provides a convenient way in which drum mics, for example, can be grouped. Mute groups enable you to use USER DEFINED keys [1]–[16] to mute or unmute multiple channels in a single operation. You can use this to cut out multiple channels simultaneously. Mute groups 1–8 can be used with both input channels and output channels. Both types of channels can exist in the same group. In the Function Access Area, press the CH JOB button. The CH JOB button lets you perform grouping, linking, and copying operations between channels. When you press this button, the Function Access Area will change as follows. DCA GROUP button Press the DCA GROUP button to access the DCA/MUTE GROUP ASSIGN MODE popup window.

MATRIX INSERT OUT 1-8 About the virtual rack CL series consoles enable you to use the built-in graphic EQ (subsequently abbreviated as “GEQ”) and effects/processors to modify signals. You can use two types of GEQ: 31BandGEQ which enables you to freely adjust thirty-one bands (frequency regions), and Flex15GEQ which enables you to adjust any fifteen of thirty-one bands. You can also use 54 different effect types. The CL series consoles feature Premium Rack, which employs VCM technology. This technology models analog circuitry on a component level to faithfully reproduce amazing analog sounds. The Premium Rack offers six types of processors. In order to use a GEQ, effect, or Premium Rack, you must mount the GEQ, effect, or Premium Rack in each virtual rack, 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 processor or effect device in an actual rack, and used patch cords to connect it. You can mount a GEQ instance in each of the sixteen racks 1–16, an effect rack instance in each of the eight racks 1–8, and a Premium Rack instance in each of the eight racks 1–8. 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.)

For each effect mounted in a rack, you can choose one of 54 types of effect. With the default settings, the signals from MIX channels 17–24 are input to racks 1–8, and from the racks are then output to ST IN 1–8 (L/R). INPUT L EFFECT L L RETURN INPUT R EFFECT R R RETURN ■ MIX type effects INPUT L L RETURN EFFECT NOTE INPUT R Some effect types can be mounted only in racks 1, 3, 5 or 7. R RETURN If a signal is assigned to only one input of a two-input effect, it will be processed as mono-in/stereo-out regardless of whether a Stereo effect type or Mix effect type is selected. However, please note that this will not apply to COMP276, COMP276S, COMP260, COMP260S, EQUALIZER601, and OPENDECK. To use an internal effect via send and return, assign the output of a MIX channel. to the input of the effect, and assign the output of the effect to an input channel. In this case, the corresponding output channel is used as a master channel for the effect send, and the input channel is used as an effect return channel. INPUT L or R L RETURN EFFECT R RETURN Rack 1 EFFECT Using an internal effect via send and return This section explains how to use a MIX bus as an effect send bus and a ST IN channel as an effect return channel, so that the effect can be used in a send and return configuration. EFFECT Rack 7 INPUT PATCH Output of the output channel OUTPUT PATCH Rack 2 NOTE Input of the input channel • If you want to use a MIX bus as an effect send bus, select “VARI” as the bus type. This will allow you to adjust the send level separately for each input channel. • If you want to use the input to an effect in stereo, it can be convenient to assign the send destination MIX bus to stereo. (For details on bus assignments, see “Basic settings for MIX buses and MATRIX buses” on page 202.) EFFECT Rack 8 EFFECT 1. Alternatively, you can assign the input and output of the internal effect to the insert-out/in of a desired channel (except for a ST IN channel), so that the effect is inserted into that channel. Insert-out of a desired channel* EFFECT Follow steps 1–3 described in “Virtual rack operations” on page 115, to mount an effect in a rack. The rack in which an effect is mounted will indicate the effect type used by that effect, the number of inputs and outputs, and the levels before and following the effect. Insert-in of a desired channel* * Excluding a ST IN channel The internal effects are categorized into two groups: “STEREO type” (2-in/2-out) effects that process the L/R channel input signals independently, and “MIX type” (1-in/2-out) effects that mix the two channels before processing them. If signals are assigned to both the L and R inputs of an effect, the way in which the L/R channels are processed will depend on whether a Stereo effect type or a Mix effect type is selected, as follows. 122 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack 2. 3. 2 OUTPUT PATCH buttons Press the INPUT PATCH L button to open the CH SELECT popup window, and select a MIX channel as the input source for the rack. For details on the CH SELECT popup window, refer to step 5 of “Virtual rack operations” on page 115. The output of the MIX channel you are using as the effect send is now assigned to the L input of the effect. If you are using a stereo source, assign the L/R signals of the stereo MIX channel to the L/R inputs of the rack. Press these buttons to open the CH SELECT popup window. The operating procedure is the same as for the OUTPUT button in the GEQ field. 3 Input/output meters Indicate the level of the signals before and after the effect. 4 MIX BAL. knob This knob adjusts the balance between the original sound and the effect sound included in the output signal from the effect. If you press this knob to select it, you will be able to adjust it using the corresponding multifunction knob. Press the OUTPUT PATCH L button to open the CH SELECT popup window, and select the L input of the desired ST IN channel as the output-destination for the rack. For details on the CH SELECT popup window, refer to step 6 of “Virtual rack operations” on page 115. The L input of the ST IN channel used as the effect return channel is now assigned to the L output of the effect. If you are using the output of the effect in stereo, assign the R input of the same ST IN channel to the R output of the rack in the same way. 5. NOTE NOTE For more information on setting the effect parameters, see “Editing the internal effect parameters” on page 125. You can select more than one output destination for the effect. 4. As necessary, use the multifunction knob to adjust the MIX BAL. knob. Adjusts the balance between the original sound and the effect sound included in the output signal from the effect. This parameter is provided for all effect types. If you are using the effect via send and return, set this to 100% (effect sound only). 6. Press the rack in which you mounted the effect. The EFFECT popup window will appear, allowing you to edit the effect parameters. 2 To adjust the effect send level of an input channel, use the Bank Select keys in the Centralogic section to access the OVERVIEW screen that includes the input channel you want to control. 3 1 4 1 INPUT PATCH buttons Press these buttons to open the CH SELECT popup window.

It inherited the history of the “1073,” which was praised as one of the greatest devices developed by Mr. Rupert Neve. Yamaha’s VCM technology has modeled the EQ to the last detail, including the input/output transformer that was designed by Mr. Rupert Neve himself. As a result, this processor model produces musically high-quality sound even when bypassed. Its response features unique effects. For example, if the Lo setting is cut, the low range becomes tight, and if the Hi setting is raised, the desired range will be boosted without hurting your ears. Adjust the parameters. For details on editing the parameters, refer to the next section “Editing the Premium Rack parameters.” NOTE Adjust the digital gain and the processor parameters so that the signal does not reach the overload point at the input or output stage of the processor. 13. Using the fader of the channel you selected as the rack’s output destination in step 6, adjust the level as appropriate. Editing the Premium Rack parameters Each Premium Rack window includes the following items: 1 2 3 8 5 3 1 2 7 4 4 1 ASSIST button 6 1 ALL BYPASS button Press this button to open a window in which you can assign the parameters to the multifunction knobs for control. Switches EQ bypass on or off. Even when EQ bypass is on, the signal will pass through the input/ output transformer and amp circuits. 2 LIBRARY button 2 TRIM knob Press the button to open the Library popup window for Premium Rack.

To switch the parameter to control, press the knob in the window. Adjust the amount of boost or cut for each band. 5 LMF/MF/HMF Q knobs NOTE Adjust the Q (steepness) of each band. The higher the Q value, the narrower the range in which you can control the gain for the band. • If the ASSIST button is on, you will be able to easily identify the parameters that are currently available for editing, and the parameters that will be available for editing after you select them. • You can adjust the parameter in finer steps by turning a multifunction knob while pressing and holding it down. 132 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack 6 LMF/MF/HMF IN button 3 FB button Turn LMF/MF/HMF EQ on or off respectively. Switches the gain reduction method between FF (Feed-Forward) circuit and FB (Feed-Back) circuit. The button will light when FB circuit is selected. The FF circuit is used in most contemporary compressors. This type is useful when you want to apply compression thoroughly while maintaining a consistent tonal color. The FB circuit is used in vintage compressors. This type is suitable when you want to apply a smooth compression while adding a tonal color that is characteristic to the device. 7 LF/HF IN button Turn LF and HF EQ on or off simultaneously. 8 Graph Indicates the graphical EQ response. 4 GAIN REDUCTION meter ■ Portico 5043 Portico 5043, like Portico 5033, is a processor that emulates RND’s analog compressor.The actual 5043 Compressor is equipped with the same input/output transformer as that of the 5033 EQ, delivering a natural, analog-like tonality and effect. It enables you to obtain a range of results from hard compression to natural sound, and is suitable for a broad range of audio sources ranging from drums to vocals. The most notable feature of this model is that you can switch the gain reduction type. You can choose either an FF (Feed-Forward) circuit type (which is the current mainstream), or an FB (FeedBack) circuit which was typically used in vintage compressors. This allows you to create sounds with various characteristics as appropriate for your applications. 1 2 3 Indicates the amount of gain reduction. 5 THRESHOLD knob Adjusts the threshold at which compression starts to be applied. 6 RATIO knob Adjusts the compression ratio. Fully rotate the knob clockwise to switch to the limiter. 7 ATTACK knob Adjusts the compressor’s attack time. 4 8 RELEASE knob Adjusts the compressor’s release time. 9 GAIN knob Adjusts the output gain. 5 6 7 8 9 1 IN button Turns the compressor’s bypass on or off. When the compressor is bypassed, the button indicator will turn off. However, even if the compressor is bypassed, the signal will pass through the input/ output transformer and amp circuits. 2 INPUT meter Indicates the input signal level. One meter appears in DUAL mode, and two meters appear in STEREO mode. 133 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack ■ U76 U76 is a processor that emulates a popular vintage compressor used in a wide range of situations. This processor does not provide the threshold parameter that is found on conventional compressors. Instead, the intensity of compression is determined by the balance between the input gain and the output gain. The “All mode” setting for the RATIO parameter allows you to create a heavily-compressed sound that is typical of this model. It produces an aggressive tonal character with a rich addition of overtones. 1 6 OUTPUT knob Adjusts the output level. If you have adjusted the amount of gain reduction by changing the INPUT level, the level of audible volume will also change. In this case, use the OUTPUT knob to adjust the volume level. ■ Opt–2A Opt–2A is a processor that emulates a popular vintage model of tube opto compressors. It features smooth compression produced using optical components such as a photocell and a light source to control the level. It also features beautiful high-range overtones created by the warm distortion typical of tube circuits, resulting in elegant and sophisticated sounds. 2 3 4 5 6 1 1 INPUT knob Adjusts the input level. As the input level gets higher, more compression is applied. 2 3 4 1 GAIN knob 2 ATTACK knob Adjusts the output level. Adjusts the compressor’s attack time. Fully rotate the knob clockwise to set the fastest attack time. 2 PEAK REDUCTION knob 3 RELEASE knob Adjusts the compression amount of the signal. Adjusts the compressor’s release time. Fully rotate the knob clockwise to set the fastest release time. 3 RATIO knob Adjusts the compression ratio. 4 RATIO switch buttons 4 METER SELECT knob Use these five buttons to set the compression ratio. A button with the higher number will raise the compression ratio more. Pressing the ALL button selects All mode, in which the RATIO will become high, and sharp compression with a faster release time will be applied, creating substantially-distorted aggressive sound. Switches the meter display. GAIN REDUCTION indicates the amount of gain reduction when the compressor is operating. With –18 dB as the reference level of the output signal, the OUTPUT +10 and OUTPUT +4 settings respectively will cause the value +10 dB or +4 dB from this reference level to be shown as “0VU” on the meter. 5 METER switch buttons Switch the meter display. • GR.....................Indicates the amount of gain reduction applied by the compressor. • +4/+8 ................Each meter uses –18 dB as the reference level of the output signal, and indicates “0VU” for the value of the reference level added by +4 dB or +8 dB. • OFF...................Turns off the meter display. 134 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack ■ EQ–1A EQ-1A is a processor that emulates a famous passive-type vintage EQ. It features a unique style of operation, allowing you to individually boost and attenuate (cut) each of two frequency ranges (high and low). The frequency response is utterly unlike that of a conventional EQ, and is a uniquely distinctive characteristic of this model. The input/output circuits and vacuum tubes produce a tonal character that is highly musical and well-balanced. 3 4 5 7 8 7 (HIGH) BOOST knob Sets the amount of boost applied to the frequency band specified by the HIGH FREQUENCY knob. 8 (HIGH) ATTEN knob Sets the amount of attenuation applied to the frequency band specified by the ATTEN SEL knob. 9 (HIGH) ATTEN SEL knob 9 Switches the frequency region attenuated by the ATTEN knob. ■ Dynamic EQ Dynamic EQ is a newly-developed equalizer that does not emulate any specific model of equalizer. The sidechain has a filter that extracts the same frequency band as the EQ. This allows you to apply EQ in the same way as you might apply a compressor or expander to a specific frequency region, causing the EQ gain to vary dynamically only when a specific frequency region of the input signal becomes too high or too low. For example you could use this on a vocal sound as a de-esser, so that EQ is applied to a specific frequency band only when sibilance or high-frequency consonants reach an unpleasant level, thus preserving a natural sound that does not impair the original tonal character. Two full-band Dynamic EQs are provided, enabling you to process a wide range of audio sources. 1 2 6 1 IN switch C Turns the processor on or off. When the switch is off, the signal will bypass the filter section, but pass through the input/output transformer and amp circuits. 1 3 4 2 LOW FREQUENCY knob Sets the frequency of the low range filter. 3 (LOW) BOOST knob 6 Sets the amount of boost applied to the frequency band specified by the LOW FREQUENCY knob. 5 9 4 (LOW) ATTEN knob Sets the amount of attenuation applied to the frequency band specified by the LOW FREQUENCY knob. 0 5 BAND WIDTH knob 28 Sets the width of the frequency band controlled by the high range filter. As you rotate the knob toward the right (Broad), the band will become wider and the peak level will decrease. This affects only the response of the boost. A 7B 1 BAND ON/OFF button Turns each band on or off. 6 HIGH FREQUENCY knob Sets the frequency of the high range filter. This affects only the response of the boost. 135 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack 2 SIDECHAIN CUE button B THRESHOLD meter Press this button on to monitor the sidechain signal sent to the CUE bus. At this time, the graph indicates the filter response for the sidechain. Indicates the sidechain signal level in relation to the threshold level. C Graph area 3 SIDECHAIN LISTEN button Displays the equalizer response. In most cases, this area displays the reference EQ graph that indicates the frequency and intensity, and the dynamic EQ graph that indicates the dynamically-changing EQ responses. Turn this button on to output the sidechain signal (linked to the dynamics) to the bus (such as a STEREO bus or MIX/MATRIX bus) to which the insert channel signal is sent. At this time, the graph indicates the response of the sidechain filters. 4 FILTER TYPE buttons Switch the type of the main bus equalizers and sidechain filters. Main bus EQ and sidechain filter will link as follows: Dynamic EQ graph FILTER TYPE Reference EQ graph (Bell) (Hi Shelf) Low Shelf Bell Hi Shelf LPF BPF HPF (Low Shelf) Main EQ Sidechain filter If SIDECHAIN CUE or SIDECHAIN LISTEN is on, this area displays the sidechain filter response. 5 FREQUENCY knob Sets the frequency band that will be controlled by the equalizer and sidechain filter. 6 Q knob Sets the Q value (steepness) of the equalizer and sidechain filter. As you rotate this knob clockwise, the frequency range to which the equalizer or sidechain filter is applied will become wider. Sidechain filter graph 7 THRESHOLD knob Specifies the threshold at which the processor will begin taking an effect. 8 RATIO knob Sets the boost/cut ratio relative to the input signal. Rotating the knob clockwise will set the ratio for boost, and counter-clockwise for cut. Fully rotating the knob in either direction will create the maximum effect. 9 ATTACK/RELEASE buttons Enable you to select one of the three settings as the attack/release time for compression or boost. Select FAST for a faster attack and faster release. Select SLOW for a faster attack and slower release. Select AUTO to automatically adjust the attack/release time depending on the frequency ranges. 0 MODE buttons Specify whether the processor is triggered when the sidechain signal level exceeds the threshold value (ABOVE), or when the level does not reach the threshold value (BELOW). A EQ GAIN meter Indicates the dynamically-changing EQ gain. 136 Reference Manual Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack ■ Premium Rack library For the premium rack, there are six library items for each module type.

This window includes several pages, which you can switch among using the tabs located at the bottom of the window. MIDI functionality on the CL series console The CL series console can use MIDI to perform the following operations: ■ Program Change transmission and reception When you execute a specific event (scene/effect library recall) on the CL series console, a Program Change message (a number that is assigned to the event) can be transmitted to an external device. Conversely, the corresponding event can be executed when a Program Change message is received from an external device. ■ Control Change transmission and reception When you execute a specific event (fader, knob, or key operation) on the CL series console, the corresponding Control Change message can be transmitted to an external device. Conversely, events can be executed when Control Change messages are received from an external device. This allows you to record fader and key operations on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play them back later. ■ Parameter Change (SysEx) transmission and reception When specific events (fader, knob, or key operations, changes in system settings or user settings) are executed, “Parameter Change” SysEx (system exclusive) messages can be transmitted to an external device. Conversely, events can be executed when Parameter Changes are received from an external device. Using this capability, CL operations can be recorded and played back on a MIDI sequencer or other external device. In addition, changes in system and user settings can be received and executed by another CL console.

This capability can be used to record fader and key operations on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play back this data later. You can use Control Changes to control events in either of the following two ways. 1 2 ■ Using Control Changes This method uses typical Control Changes (control numbers 1–31, 33–95, 102–119). You can freely assign an event to each control number. 3 ■ Using NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number) This method uses a special type of Control Change messages called NRPN. NRPN uses Control Change numbers 99 and 98 to specify the MSB (Most Significant Byte) and LSB (Least Significant Byte) of the parameter number, and subsequently-transmitted Control Change messages of Control Change number 6 (or 6 and 38) to specify the value of that parameter. The event assigned to each combination of MSB and LSB is pre-defined, and cannot be changed. 4 6 5 NOTE For details on the events assigned to NRPN messages, refer to the Appendices (see page 250). 1 CONTROL CHANGE field 1. Connect the CL series console to an external device. 2. In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button to access the SETUP screen. 3.

If you select this mode, the assignments on the list will be ignored. In conjunction with the MODE field, this field specifies the type of event. NOTE • The list shown is the same for all models of the CL series. For the CL3/CL1, the display will indicate “Cannot Assign!” if you specify a parameter that does not exist on that model. • If NRPN mode is selected as the Control Change transmission/reception mode, the settings in this window are ignored. • For details on the events that can be assigned to Control Changes, refer to the Appendices (see page 248). • TABLE mode (when the TABLE button is on): Various mix parameters on the CL series console will be transmitted and received on a single MIDI channel as Control Change messages. NOTE The channel on which Control Changes are transmitted and received is specified by the PORT/ CH field on the MIDI SETUP page (see page 150). 7. 8. 9. Use the buttons in the CONTROL CHANGE field to turn transmission and reception on or off, and make settings for echo output. Each button has the following function. • Tx button....................Switches Control Change transmission on or off. • Rx button....................Switches Control Change reception on or off. • ECHO button ............Selects whether incoming Control Changes will be echoed out from the MIDI transmit port.

To change the event assignment for each control number, press the corresponding event. The MIDI CONTROL CHANGE popup window will appear. In this window you can specify the event assigned to each control number. The window contains the following items. Assign events to other control numbers in the same way. When you operate the parameters you assigned on the CL series console, Control Change messages will be transmitted to external devices. Similarly, if the corresponding Control Change messages are received from an external device on the appropriate channel, the parameters assigned to those control numbers will change. NOTE • You can use the CLEAR ALL button to erase all assignments to control numbers. The INITIALIZE ALL button will return all control number assignments to their default state. • Assignments to control numbers are maintained as settings for the entire system, rather than for individual scenes. 1 2 156 Reference Manual MIDI Using Parameter Changes to control parameters On the CL series console, you can use a type of system exclusive messages called “Parameter Changes” to control specific events (fader/knob operations, [ON] key on/off operations, system and user settings, etc.) as an alternative to using Control Changes or NRPN messages. For details on the Parameter Changes that can be transmitted and received, refer to “MIDI data format” in the Appendices. 1. Connect the CL series console to an external device. 2. In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button to access the SETUP screen. 3. In the center of the screen, press the MIDI/GPI button to access the MIDI/GPI popup window. 4. Press the MIDI SETUP tab to access the MIDI SETUP page, and select the port and MIDI channel on which Parameter Changes will be transmitted and received, as described in “Basic MIDI settings” on page 149. NOTE • Parameter changes include a “device number” that specifies the transmitting or receiving device. The transmit (Tx) channel and receive (Rx) channel specified on the MIDI SETUP page are used as the device number. • Please be aware that if the device number included in the transmitted Parameter Change does not match the device number of the receiving CL console, the message will be ignored. • Do not turn Parameter Change and Control Change transmission/reception on at the same time. Otherwise, a large amount of data will flood the MIDI port and may cause overflows or other problems. 5. Use the Tx button and Rx button in the PARAMETER CHANGE field to turn on Parameter Change transmission/reception. In this state when you operate specific parameters on the CL console, the corresponding Parameter Change messages will be transmitted. If valid Parameter Change messages are received from an external device, the parameters assigned to those Parameter Changes will be controlled. 157 Reference Manual User settings (Security) User settings (Security) Privileges for each user are as follows. This chapter explains the following settings and operations: the User Level settings that restrict access to the parameters by certain users, the Console Lock function that temporarily denies access to the console, the Preference settings that customize the operating environment, and Save/Load operations using a USB flash drive. Logged-in user Administrator User Level settings User Level settings allow you to restrict the parameters that can be operated by each user, or to change the settings of USER DEFINED keys and preference settings for each user. Settings for each user can be stored as a “user authentication key” inside the console or together on a USB flash drive, allowing users to be switched easily. This can be convenient in the following situations. • Unintended or mistaken operation can be prevented. • The range of functionality operable by an outside engineer (guest engineer) can be limited. • In situations in which multiple operators alternate with each other, output settings etc. can be locked to prevent unintended operations. • Preferences of each operator can easily be switched.

The CL series consoles can operate in an integrated manner with Steinberg’s Nuendo Live DAW software. In addition to the equipment and software mentioned in “Recording or playing back using DAW on a computer” on page 25, the “CL Extension” software which integrates the CL series and Nuendo Live can be installed in your computer, allowing you to operate Nuendo Live from the CL series console to easily perform multi-track recording operations. Here we explain how to operate Nuendo Live from the CL series console. Preparing the project Make the following settings as described in “Recording or playing back using DAW on a computer” on page 25. 1. Setting up Dante Virtual Soundcard or Dante Accelerator Specify the audio format, network settings, and ASIO driver settings so that Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) or Dante Accelerator (DANTE-ACCEL) can be used. 2. Setting up Dante Controller Use Dante Controller to patch between the I/O device and DVS, and between DVS and the CL series console. Assign the signals from the I/O device to the various input ports of DVS. Patching can also be specified from the CL series console. NOTE Separately, route the signals from I/O devices to the channels on the CL series console. (see page 138) In this case, the DANTE INPUT PATCH settings of the CL series console must be switched when changing between multi-track recording and multi-track playback. Switching will be easy if you’ve stored the respective settings in the DANTE INPUT PATCH LIBRARY (see page 139). 3. Setting up Nuendo Live When you start Nuendo Live and create a new project, a track for each channel specified for DVS will be created automatically. In addition, the tracks will automatically use the channel names and color information as specified on the CL series console. Make the following settings in Nuendo Live. • In Setup button → Audio System, select DVS or DANTE-ACCEL as the driver. NOTE For details on the settings of each software program, refer to the manual for that software. 188 Reference Manual Recorder 6 Location information display Recording into a project 1.

Word clock and slot settings “Word clock” refers to the clock that provides the basis of timing for digital audio signal processing. To send and receive digital audio signals between devices, those devices must be synchronized to the same word clock. If digital audio signals are transferred in an unsynchronized state, the data may not be transmitted or received correctly, and noise may be present in the signal, even if the sampling rates are the same. Specifically, you must first decide which device will transmit the reference word clock for the entire system (the word clock master), and then set the remaining devices (the word clock slaves) so that they synchronize to the word clock master. If you wish to use the CL series console as a word clock slave that is synchronized to the word clock supplied from an external device, you must specify the appropriate clock source (the port through which the word clock is obtained). This section explains how to select the clock source that the CL series console will use. 1. In the SYSTEM SETUP field at the center of the screen, press the WORD CLOCK/ SLOT SETUP button to open the WORD CLOCK/SLOT SETUP popup window. This popup window contains the following items. 3 1 2 In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button to access the SETUP screen. ■ MASTER CLOCK SELECT field 1 Master clock frequency display Indicates the frequency (44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) of the currently-selected master clock. If the unit is not synching to the master clock, “UNLOCK” will appear. NOTE If sample rate pull-up/down has been specified in the Dante Controller application, this area indicates the change in the sample rate as a percentage, such as –4.0%, –0.1%, +4.0%, 4.1667%, etc. 2 Master clock select buttons Use the buttons to select the clock source that you want to use as the word clock master from the following options: • INT 48 k • INT 44.1 k The CL console internal clock (sampling rate 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz) will be the clock source. • WORD CLOCK IN The word clock supplied from the WORD CLOCK IN jack on the rear panel of the console will be used as the clock source. 198 Reference Manual Other functions ■ SLOT SETUP field This field enables you to make various settings related to the MY slots on the rear panel of the console. • DANTE 48 k • DANTE 44.1 k The word clock supplied from the Dante jack on the rear panel of the console will be used as the clock source. 3 2 4 1 • SLOT 1–3 The word clock supplied via a digital I/O card installed in a console slot will be used as the clock source. Word clock can be selected in pairs for each slot. 1 Card name 3 Clock status display Indicates the type of card installed in the slot. If nothing is installed, “----” will appear. Indicates the status of synchronization with the master clock for each clock source. Each indicator is explained below: 2 SRC buttons The SRC (Sampling Rate Converter) function can be switched on or off for a slot in which an MY card (MY8-AE96S) that features the SRC function is installed. If another type of card is installed, or if no card is installed, no SRC button will appear. • LOCK (light blue) Indicates that a clock synchronized with the selected clock source is being input. If an external device is connected to the corresponding connector or slot, input/output is occurring properly between that device and the CL series console. If the sampling frequency is close, this status may be displayed even if not synchronized. 3 FREQUENCY display Indicates the sampling frequency of input signals if the installed card can detect the substatus of input signals, such as an AES/EBU card. If another type of card is installed, or if no card is installed, “----” will appear. • LOCK, BUT NOT SYNC’ED (yellow) A valid clock is being input, but is not synchronized with the selected clock source. If an external device is connected to the corresponding connector, input/output cannot occur correctly between that device and the CL series console. 4 EMPHASIS STATUS display Indicates the emphasis information of input signals if the installed card can detect the substatus of input signals, such as an AES/EBU card. If another type of card is installed, or if no card is installed, “----” will appear. • SRC ON (green) This is a special status applied only to SLOT 1–3, indicating that the corresponding channel’s SRC (Sampling Rate Converter) is enabled. This means that even if the signal is not synchronized, normal input/output with the CL series console is occurring. 3. In the MASTER CLOCK SELECT field, select a clock source. • UNLOCK (red) A valid clock is being input, but the CL series console is not synchronized to the selected clock. If an external device is connected to the corresponding connector, it will be unable to communicate properly with the CL console. 4. To close the WORD CLOCK/SLOT popup window, press the “x” symbol located in the upper right. You will return to the SETUP screen. • UNKNOWN (black) This indicates that the clock status cannot be detected because no external device is connected or because there is no valid clock input. You will be able to select this connector/slot, but successful synchronization cannot occur until a valid connection is established. If the indicator for the port selected as the clock source has turned light blue, and the clock frequency appears in the upper left of the MASTER CLOCK SELECT field, this indicates that the CL series console is operating correctly with the new clock. 5. To close the SETUP screen, press the SETUP button in the Function Access Area. NOTE • If the indicator for the selected clock does not turn light blue, make sure that the external device is correctly connected, and that the external device is set to transmit clock data. • Noise may occur at the output jacks when the word clock setting is changed. To protect your speaker system, be sure to turn down the power amp volume before changing the word clock setting. • If you attempt to select a channel (for which SRC is on) as the word clock source, a message will appear, warning you that the sampling rate converter will be disabled. 199 Reference Manual Other functions Using cascade connections Operations on a cascade slave CL unit Using multiple CL series consoles, or a CL console and an external mixing console (such as a Yamaha PM5D) in a cascade connection enable buses to be shared among the devices.

About cascade connections To cascade two CL series consoles, you must first install digital I/O cards in the appropriate slots, and connect the output ports of the sending unit (the cascade slave) to the input ports of the receiving unit (the cascade master). The following illustration shows an example in which three eight-channel digital I/O cards for each unit are installed in the cascade slave CL unit and in the cascade master CL unit. The DIGITAL OUT jacks of the sending unit are connected to the DIGITAL IN jacks of the receiving unit. 2 Audio signals of unit A Audio signals of A+B DIGITAL OUT DIGITAL IN CL A CL B (Cascade slave) (Cascade master) 3 1 Digital I/O card In this example, up to twenty four buses chosen from MIX bus 1–24, MATRIX bus 1–8, STEREO bus (L/R), MONO (C) bus, and CUE bus (L/R) can be shared, and the mixed signals transmitted from the cascade master CL unit. (If you use three 16-ch digital I/O cards, all buses can be shared among the devices.) You must specify bus assignments for each or channel on each CL unit. Separate procedures are outlined below for the cascade slave and the cascade master. 1 Port select popup buttons (CASCADE OUT PATCH section) Enable you to select the output port for cascade connections for each of MIX 1–24, MATRIX 1– 8, STEREO L/R, MONO, and CUE L/R buses. Press the button to open the PORT SELECT popup window, in which you can select a port. NOTE • If you are making a cascade connection between the CL unit and the PM5D, you can use the CL unit as the cascade slave by setting the PM5D’s CASCADE IN PORT SELECT to a slot. However, only the audio signals will be cascaded, and the control signals cannot be linked. • You can also use an AD/DA card to make cascade connections with an analog mixer. • There is no limit to the number of units that can be cascade-connected, but the signal delay at the cascade slave will increase in accordance with the number of units from the cascade master. 2 CASCADE LINK MODE buttons Specify whether only cue operations will be linked, or all linkable operations including scene store/recall operations will also be linked when CL series consoles are cascade-connected. 3 CASCADE COMM PORT buttons Specify the communication port used for transmitting and receiving link information when operations such as cue and scene store/recall are linked between cascade-connected CL series consoles. 200 Reference Manual Other functions 4. 7.

From the list, choose the I/O device that you want to mount. 2 DEVICE LIST select knob Use the multi-function knob to select the I/O device that you want to mount. 3 INPUT/OUTPUT knobs Use the multi-function knobs to specify the number of inputs and outputs on the Dante audio network. If the selected I/O device is supported by the CL series, the number of inputs and outputs will be entered automatically. 218 Reference Manual Other functions ■ When the setup method select button is SUPPORTED DEVICE If you want to select and mount an I/O device that is supported by the CL series, press the SUPPORTED DEVICE button to see the SUPPORTED DEVICE field. These settings can be made even when not connected to a Dante audio network. NOTE • If there is one I/O device, set the I/O device’s UNIT ID to “1”. • If multiple devices are connected, assign the ID numbers so that there is no conflict between devices. • For devices other than the Rio series, it is possible for devices of differing models to be assigned to the same ID as an Rio series unit or the same ID as a different model of device. However since the I/O device input/output port screen shows the UNIT ID, this will make it difficult to distinguish between the units, so we recommend that whenever possible, you avoid allowing the ID numbers to overlap. • If you have a device whose UNIT ID or device label cannot be changed from its panel or its edit screen etc. (such as the Dante-MY16-AUD card or DANTE-ACCEL), and you want to use that device as a SUPPORTED DEVICE, you must change its device label via Dante Controller. • The Dante-MY16-AUD and DANTE-ACCEL will be recognized as a SUPPORTED DEVICE if you assign the device label as follows. Dante-MY16-AUD: Y###-Audinate-DANTE-MY16****** DANTE-ACCEL: Y###-Yamaha-DANTE-ACCEL******* # is a three-digit hexadecimal number containing the digits 0–9 and uppercase A–F (000– FFF) * indicates any desired character (alphabetical uppercase or lowercase, numerals, or (hyphen) may be used) • If you are controlling the CL console from an Rio series unit, we recommend that you set the Rio unit’s START UP MODE to “REFRESH.” Operation will be safer with the “REFRESH” setting, since mute will be cleared after synchronization has been completed with CL units whose system setting for REMOTE HA ASSIGN is set to “WITH RECALL.” With the “RESUME” setting, mute will be cleared and the unit will start operating with the settings that were backed up by the Rio series unit itself, which could allow unexpected audio to be output. • A single CL console can control the HA of up to eight Rio series units. If nine or more Rio series units are connected, you can either divide the HA control between multiple CL consoles, or you can omit specifying REMOTE HA ASSIGN for the Rio series units whose HA does not need to be controlled, and use them with START UP MODE set to “RESUME.” 3 1 4 2 This screen contains the following items. 1 DEVICE TYPE This area shows a list of the I/O device types that are supported by the CL series.

When the KEY IN source signal level exceeds the specified THRESHOLD, the output level is attenuated by a specified amount (RANGE). Dynamics Parameters Input channels provide DYNAMICS section 1 and DYNAMICS section 2. Output channels provide DYNAMICS section 1. An input channel’s DYNAMICS section 1 provides the following four types: GATE, DUCKING, COMPRESSOR, and EXPANDER. Parameter An input channel’s DYNAMICS section 2 provides the following four types: COMPRESSOR, COMPANDER-H (Compander Hard), COMPANDER-S (Compander Soft), and DE-ESSER. An output channel’s DYNAMICS section 1 provides the following four types: COMPRESSOR, EXPANDER, COMPANDER-H (Compander Hard), and COMPANDER-S (Compander Soft). ■ GATE A gate attenuates signals below a set THRESHOLD level by a specified amount (RANGE). –54 to 0 (55 points) RANGE (dB) –70 to 0 (71 points) This determines the amount of attenuation when ducking is activated. ATTACK (ms) 0–120 (121 points) This determines how soon the signal is ducked once the ducker has been triggered. HOLD (ms) 44.1kHz: 0.02 ms – 2.13 sec 48kHz: 0.02 ms – 1.96 sec (160 points) This determines how long ducking remains active once the trigger signal has fallen below the THRESHOLD level. DECAY (ms) 44.1kHz: 6 ms – 46.0 sec 48kHz: 5 ms – 42.3 sec (160 points) This determines how soon the ducker returns to its normal gain once the trigger signal level drops below the threshold. The value is expressed as the duration required for the level to change by 6 dB. • I/O Characteristics Description –72 to 0 (73 points) This determines the level at which the gate effect is applied. RANGE (dB) –∞, –69 to 0 (71 points) This determines the amount of attenuation when the gate closes. ATTACK (ms) 0–120 (121 points) This determines how fast the gate opens when the signal exceeds the threshold level. HOLD (ms) 44.1kHz: 0.02 ms – 2.13 sec 48kHz: 0.02 ms – 1.96 sec (160 points) This determines how long the gate stays open once the trigger signal has fallen below the threshold. 44.1kHz: 6 ms – 46.0 sec 48kHz: 5 ms – 42.3 sec (160 points) This determines how fast the gate closes once the hold time has expired.

The COMP processor can also be used as a limiter, which, with a RATIO of ∞:1, reduces the level to the threshold. This means that the limiter’s output level never actually exceeds the threshold. Parameter Range Parameter Description Range Description THRESHOLD (dB) –54 to 0 (55 points) This determines the level of input signal required to trigger the expander. THRESHOLD (dB) –54 to 0 (55 points) This determines the level of input signal required to trigger the compressor. RATIO This determines the amount of expansion. RATIO 1.0:1, 1.1:1, 1.3:1, 1.5:1, 1.7:1, 2.0:1, 2.5:1, 3.0:1, 3.5:1, 4.0:1, 5.0:1, 6.0:1, 8.0:1, 10:1, 20:1, ∞:1 (16 points) This determines the amount of compression, that is, the change in output signal level relative to change in input signal level. 1.0:1, 1.1:1, 1.3:1, 1.5:1, 1.7:1, 2.0:1, 2.5:1, 3.0:1, 3.5:1, 4.0:1, 5.0:1, 6.0:1, 8.0:1, 10:1, 20:1, ∞:1 (16 points) ATTACK (ms) 0–120 (121 points) ATTACK (ms) 0–120 (121 points) This determines how soon the signal will be compressed once the compressor has been triggered. This determines how soon the expander returns to its normal gain once the trigger signal level exceeds the threshold. RELEASE (ms) 44.1kHz: 6 ms – 46.0 sec 48kHz: 5 ms – 42.3 sec (160 points) This determines how soon the signal is expanded once the signal level drops below the threshold. The value is expressed as the duration required for the level to change by 6 dB. RELEASE (ms) 44.1kHz: 6 ms – 46.0 sec 48kHz: 5 ms – 42.3 sec (160 points) This determines how soon the compressor returns to its normal gain once the trigger signal level drops below the threshold. The value is expressed as the duration required for the level to change by 6 dB. OUT GAIN (dB) 0.0 to +18.0 (181 points) This sets the expander’s output signal level. OUT GAIN (dB) 0.0 to +18.0 (181 points) This sets the compressor’s output signal level. KNEE Hard, 1–5 (6 points) KNEE Hard, 1–5 (6 points) This determines how compression is applied at the threshold. For higher knee settings, compression is applied gradually as the signal exceeds the specified threshold, creating a more natural sound. This determines how expansion is applied at the threshold. For higher knee settings, expansion is applied gradually as the signal falls below the specified threshold, creating a more natural sound.

Some effects of the CL series can be synchronized with the tempo. There are two such types of effect; delay-type effects and modulation-type effects. For delay-type effects, the delay time will change according to the tempo. For modulation-type effects, the frequency of the modulation signal will change according to the tempo. Parameters related to tempo synchronization The following five parameters are related to tempo synchronization. 1) SYNC 2) NOTE 3) TEMPO 4) DELAY 5) FREQ. SYNC: .................................This is the on/off switch for tempo synchronization. NOTE and TEMPO: .........These are the basic parameters for tempo synchronization. DELAY and FREQ.: ..........DELAY is the delay time, and FREQ. is the frequency of the modulation signal. These directly affect the way in which the effect sound will change. DELAY is relevant only for delay-type effects, and FREQ. is relevant only for modulation-type effects. Ranges of the NOTE and TEMPO values The ranges of the NOTE and TEMPO values are limited by the ranges of the DELAY or FREQ. values. You cannot set NOTE or TEMPO values that would cause DELAY or FREQ. to exceed their maximum possible values when synchronized to tempo. This limitation also applies even when SYNC is OFF. Special characteristics of the TEMPO parameter The TEMPO parameter has the following characteristics that are unlike other parameters. • It is a common value shared by all effects • You cannot stored it to or recall it from the Effects Library. (You can store it to and recall it from a Scene.) This means that the TEMPO value may not necessarily be the same when an effect is recalled as when that effect was stored. Here is an example. Store the effect: TEMPO=120  Change TEMPO to 60  Recall the effect: TEMPO=60 Normally when you change the TEMPO, the DELAY (or FREQ.) will be re-set accordingly. However if the DELAY (or FREQ.) were changed, the effect would sound differently when recalled than when it was stored. To prevent the effect from changing in this way between store and recall, the CL series does not update the DELAY (or FREQ.) value when an effect is recalled, even if the TEMPO is no longer the same as when that effect was stored. How the parameters are related Tempo synchronization calculates the DELAY (or FREQ.) value*a from the TEMPO and NOTE. Turn SYNC ON Change NOTE → DELAY (or FREQ.) will be set In this case, the DELAY (or FREQ.) value is calculated as follows. DELAY (or FREQ.) = NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO) Change TEMPO → DELAY (or FREQ.) will be set In this case, the DELAY (or FREQ.) value is calculated as follows. DELAY = NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO) sec FREQ. = (TEMPO/60) / (NOTE x 4) Hz * The NOTE parameter is calculated based on the following values. Example 1: When SYNC=ON, DELAY=250 ms, TEMPO=120, you change NOTE from 8th note to quarter note DELAY = new NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO) = (1/4) x 4 x (60/120) = 0.5 (sec) = 500 ms Thus, the DELAY will change from 250 ms to 500 ms. 247 = 1/48 = 1/24 = 1/16 = 1/12 = 3/32 = 1/8 = 1/6 = 3/16 = 1/4 = 3/8 = 1/2 = 3/4 = 1/1 = 2/1 Reference Manual Appendices Parameters that can be assigned to control changes Mode Parameter 1 Parameter 2 MATRIX 1 POINT – MATRIX 8 POINT Mode NO ASSIGN Parameter 1 INPUT MATRIX 1 LEVEL L – MATRIX 8 LEVEL L MATRIX 1 POINT – MATRIX 8 POINT OUTPUT MIX 1–MIX 24 MATRIX 1–MATRIX 8 STEREO L–MONO(C) INPUT CH 1–CH 72*1 STIN1L–STIN8R OUTPUT MIX 1–MIX 24 MATRIX 1–MATRIX 8 STEREO L–MONO(C) MATRIX 1 ON – MATRIX 8 ON STEREO TO MATRIX MATRIX 1/2 PAN – MATRIX 7/8 PAN ON LOW Q LOW FREQ OUTPUT MIX 1–MIX 24 MATRIX 1–MATRIX 8 STEREO L–MONO(C) LOW MID Q LOW GAIN LOW MID FREQ LOW MID GAIN 72*1 CH 1–CH STIN1L–STIN8R INPUT CH 1–CH 72*1 OUTPUT MIX 1–MIX 24 MATRIX 1–MATRIX 8 STEREO L–MONO(C) ON CH 1–CH 72*1 INPUT EQ HIGH GAIN LPF ON *1 OUTPUT INPUT ATT TO STEREO ON CH 1–CH 72*1 STIN1L–STIN8R INPUT HPF LCR CSR LOW TYPE HIGH TYPE CH 1–CH 72*1 STIN1L–STIN8R FREQ LOW FREQ LOW GAIN LOW MID Q MATRIX 1 ON – MATRIX 8 ON LOW MID FREQ MIX 1 POINT – MIX 24 POINT LOW MID GAIN MIX 1 LEVEL L – MIX 24 LEVEL L HIGH MID Q OUTPUT EQ *1 CH 1–CH 72 STIN1L–STIN8R HIGH MID FREQ HIGH MID GAIN MATRIX 1 LEVEL H – MATRIX 8 LEVEL H HIGH Q MATRIX 1 LEVEL L – MATRIX 8 LEVEL L HIGH FREQ MIX 1/2 PAN – MIX 23/24 PAN HIGH GAIN MATRIX1/2 PAN – MATRIX7/8 PAN LOW TYPE TO MONO ON CH 1–CH 72*1 STIN1L–STIN8R LOW Q CH 1–CH 72*1 STIN1L–STIN8R MIX 1–MIX 24 MIX 1–MIX 24 MATRIX 1–MATRIX 8 STEREO L–MONO(C) HIGH TYPE TO STEREO ON MIX TO STEREO ON CH 1–CH 72*1 STIN1L–STIN8R ON MATRIX 1 POINT – MATRIX 8 POINT MIX/MATRIX SEND INPUT MIX 1 ON – MIX24 ON MIX 1 LEVEL H – MIX 24 LEVEL H CH 1–CH 72*1 STIN1L–STIN8R HIGH FREQ BALANCE ON HIGH MID FREQ HIGH Q MIX 1–MIX 24 MATRIX 1–MATRIX 8 STEREO L–STEREO R ON HIGH MID Q HIGH MID GAIN CH 1–CH 72 STIN1L–STIN8R TO MONO STEREO L–MONO(C) MATRIX 1 LEVEL L – MATRIX 8 LEVEL L INPUT PAN/BALANCE MATRIX 1 LEVEL H – MATRIX 8 LEVEL H CH 1–CH 72*1 STIN1L–STIN8R INPUT MIX 1–MIX 24 MATRIX 1/2 PAN – MATRIX 7/8 PAN INPUT CH ON DIRECT OUT MATRIX 1 LEVEL H – MATRIX 8 LEVEL H CH 1–CH 72*1 STIN1L–STIN8R FADER L INSERT MIX TO MATRIX 0 FADER H PHASE MATRIX 1 ON – MATRIX 8 ON Parameter 2 — LOW HPF ON MIX 1–MIX 24 HIGH LPF ON PAN 248 Reference Manual Appendices Mode OUTPUT ATT Parameter 1 OUTPUT Parameter 2 Mode MIX1-MIX24 MATRIX1-MATRIX8 STEREO L-MONO(C) GEQ ON PREMIUM RACK A THRESHOLD RANGE PREMIUM RACK B HOLD H INPUT DYNAMICS1 DECAY/RELEASE H CH 1–CH 72*1 STIN1L–STIN8R ON B GAIN A 1 – GAIN A 31 BYPASS PARAM 1 H – PARAM 64 L BYPASS PARAM 1 H – PARAM 64 L MUTE MASTER KNEE/WIDTH FADER H Rack1–8 DCA 1–DCA 16 ON MASTER 1–MASTER 8 ON CH 1–CH 72*1 STIN1L–STIN8R MIX 1–MIX 24 MATRIX 1–MATRIX 8 STEREO L–MONO(C) GEQ RACK 1A–16B EFFECT RACK 1A–8B PREMIUM RACK 1A–8B DCA 1–DCA16 GAIN H GAIN L ON RECALL SAFE ATTACK THRESHOLD RELEASE H RATIO Rack1–8 FADER L RATIO RELEASE L Rack1–16 ON DCA DECAY/RELEASE L INPUT DYNAMICS2 Parameter 2 GAIN B 1 – GAIN B 31 ATTACK HOLD L Parameter 1 ON A CH 1–CH 72*1 STIN1L–STIN8R *1.

If [TABLE] is selected, these messages are received when [CONTROL CHANGE Rx] is ON and [Rx CH] matches, and will control parameters according to the settings of the [CONTROL CHANGE EVENT LIST]. For the parameters that can be assigned, refer to “Parameters that can be assigned to control changes” on page 248. If [NRPN] is selected, these messages are received when [CONTROL CHANGE Rx] is ON and the [Rx CH] matches; the four messages NRPN control number (62h, 63h) and DATA ENTRY control number (06h, 26h) are used to control the specified parameter. Transmission If [TABLE] is selected, and if [CONTROL CHANGE Tx] is ON when you operate a parameter that is assigned in the [CONTROL CHANGE EVENT LIST], these messages will be transmitted on the [Tx CH] channel. For the parameters that can be assigned, refer to “Parameters that can be assigned to control changes” on page 248. If [NRPN] is selected, and if [CONTROL CHANGE Tx] is ON when you operate a specified parameter, the four messages NRPN control number (62h, 63h) and DATA ENTRY control number (06h, 26h) are transmitted on the [Tx CH] channel. For the parameters that can be assigned, refer to “Parameters that can be assigned to control changes” on page 248.

STATUS DATA 1.4 PROGRAM CHANGE (Cn) Reception If [PROGRAM CHANGE ECHO] is ON, bank select messages will also be echoed from MIDI OUT. If SINGLE CH is selected, these messages are received if [PROGRAM CHANGE Rx] is ON and the [Rx CH] matches. However if [OMNI] is ON, these messages are received regardless of the channel. When these messages are received, scene memory, effect librarya nd premium rack library are recalled according to the settings of the [PROGRAM CHANGE EVENT LIST]. Transmission If [PROGRAM CHANGE Tx] is ON, these messages are transmitted according to the [PROGRAM CHANGE Table] settings when scene memory, effect library and premium rack library are recalled. If SINGLE CH is selected, these messages are transmitted on the [Tx CH] channel. If the recalled scene memory, effect library and premium rack library has been assigned to more than one PROGRAM NUMBER, the lowest-numbered PROGRAM NUMBER for each MIDI channel will be transmitted. PROGRAM CHANGE messages are not used for transmission to CL Editor because there is no guarantee that the contents of the assignment tables will match. (PARAMETER CHANGE messages are always used.) You can choose either MULTI MIDI CH or SINGLE CH. If SINGLE is selected You can choose the Rx CH, OMNI CH, and Tx CH. You can choose whether a bank select message will be added. A bank of up to 16 can be specified. If MULTI is selected The Rx and Tx channels will be the same. The assignment table will use the settings for each MIDI channel. Bank select messages will not be added. You can make settings for up to sixteen MIDI channels.

The unique header (Model ID) identifies whether the device is a CL series. To calculate the check sum, add the bytes starting with the byte after BYTE COUNT (LOW) and ending with the byte before CHECK SUM, take the binary complement, and set bit 7 to 0. CHECK SUM = (-sum)&0x7F Bulk Dumps can be received at any time, and can be transmitted at any time when a Bulk Dump Request is received. A Bulk Dump is transmitted on the [Rx CH] channel in response to a Bulk Dump Request. In the data portion, seven words of 8-bit data are converted into eight words of 7-bit data.

This message is received if [PARAMETER CHANGE Rx] is ON and [Rx CH] matches the Device number included in the SUB STATUS. When a PARAMETER CHANGE is received, the specified parameter will be controlled. When a PARAMETER REQUEST is received, the current value of the specified parameter will be transmitted as a PARAMETER CHANGE with its Device Number as the [Rx CH]. Transmission If [PARAMETER CHANGE Tx] is ON, and you edit a parameter for which CONTROL CHANGE transmission has not been enabled, a PARAMETER CHANGE will be transmitted with the [Tx CH] as its device number. In response to a PARAMETER REQUEST, a PARAMETER CHANGE will be transmitted with [Rx CH] as its device number.
