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.

Channel number

Channel name

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.

SELECTED CHANNEL section

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.

Input and output patching

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.

Input and output patching

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

• 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

.

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).

Input and output patching

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.

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.

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.

Input channels

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.

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.

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.

34

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.

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

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.

Input channels

3.

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.

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.

40

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.

Reference Manual

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 enable you to switch between MIX1-16 ON FADER mode and MIX17-24/MATRIX ON FADER mode, and the buttons that enable you to select the destination MIX/MATRIX buses.

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.

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.

Scene memory

This chapter explains how to perform scene memory operations.

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)

Reference Manual

Using the Focus function

“Focus” is a function that lets you specify the scene parameters that will be recalled (loaded) when you recall a scene. You can specify these settings for each scene. This function is useful if you want to recall only the input channel settings of a specific scene.

NOTE

In contrast to Focus, the CL series console features a “Recall Safe” function that enables you to exclude specific channels and parameters from recall operations. However while the Focus function is specified for each scene, Recall Safe settings are applied to all scenes.

Scene memory

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.

Reference Manual

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.

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.

Using Preview mode

Preview mode lets you view or edit the settings of a scene stored in memory without affecting the signal processing of the current scene. When you recall a scene in this mode, the settings of the newly recalled scene will appear on the panel of the CL series console, but the signal processing of the current scene will remain as it was prior to the recall. Even if you modify the settings and save them as a new scene or by overwriting, the signal processing of the current scene will remain as it was prior to the recall.

During an actual performance, it can be convenient to use this to check the content of the scene you intend to recall next, or to make minor changes to a scene and then store it.

1.

Press the PREVIEW button on the panel or the PREVIEW button in the SCENE LIST window.

The PREVIEW button will light, and the console will be in Preview mode.

In this state, operating controllers such as the knobs and faders will not affect the signal processing of the current scene.

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.

Talkback and Oscillator

About the Talkback and Oscillator functions

Talkback is a function that sends the signal of a mic connected to the TALKBACK jack to the desired bus. This is used mainly to convey instructions from the operator or sound engineer to the performers and staff. If necessary, you can also use a mic connected to an INPUT jack on the I/O device or the

OMNI IN jack on the CL unit for talkback.

CL series consoles also feature an oscillator that can output a sine wave or pink noise to the desired bus, so that you will be able to check external equipment or to test the acoustical response of the room or hall.

The diagram below shows the signal flow of the talkback and oscillator signals.

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.)

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.

NOTE

• The [ON] key will light if you raise or lower a fader even the slightest amount. This indicates that the corresponding band has been modified.

• To quickly return a boosted or cut band to the flat position, press the corresponding [ON] key in the Centralogic section to make it go dark.

6.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 to adjust up to fifteen bands.

NOTE

If you switch the display to a different screen, the fader assignments in the Centralogic section will forcibly be defeated. However if you once again display the same rack, the group of bands you had previously been controlling will automatically be assigned to the faders.

7.

When you have finished making settings, turn off the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field.

The faders and [ON] keys in the Centralogic section will return to their previous function.

NOTE

When you close the GEQ popup window, the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field automatically turn off.

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.

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.

Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reference Manual

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ).

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.

• Password (except for Guest)

• User Level settings (except for Administrator)

• Preferences

• USER DEFINED keys

• USER DEFINED knobs

• Assignable encoders

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.

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 )

Recorder

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.

Reference Manual

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.

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.

Reference Manual

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Number of hops

Up to 3

Up to 5

Up to 10

11 or more (or if a problem occurs)

Latency (ms)

0.25

0.5

1.0

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.

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.”

Using GPI (General Purpose Interface)

The rear panel GPI (General Purpose Interface) connector can be used as an input/output connector.

This connector provides five GPI IN ports and five GPI OUT ports. For example you can use an external switch to control internal parameters of the CL series console or to switch scenes. Conversely, 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.

1.

Connect an external device to the CL series console’s GPI connector.

2.

In the function access area, press the SETUP button to access the SETUP screen.

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.

225

Reference Manual

Other functions

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 will be reversed.)

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.

Description

This determines the level of input signal required to trigger the compressor.

This determines the amount of compression, that is, the change in output signal level relative to change in input signal level.

This determines how soon the signal will be compressed once the compressor has been triggered.

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.

This sets the compressor’s output signal level.

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.

THRESHOLD

Input Level

0dB

WIDTH

The companders function differently at the following levels:

1

0 dB 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.

In MANUAL mode, recording is started by pressing the REC and PLAY buttons. In INPUT mode, Record-Ready mode is engaged by pressing the

REC button, and actual recording is triggered by the input signal.

Recording delay. For plus values, recording starts after the trigger is received. For minus values, recording starts before the trigger is received.

In MOMENT mode, the sample plays only while the that the PLAY button is pressed. In CONT mode, playback continues once the PLAY button has been pressed. The number of times the sample plays is set using the LOOP

NUM parameter. In INPUT mode, playback is triggered by the input signal.

Description

Turns the corresponding band on/off

If this is on, the sidechain signal that controls the dynamics will be sent to the CUE bus for monitoring.

If this is on, the sidechain signal that is linked to the dynamics will be output to the bus (such as the STEREO bus or a MIX/

MATRIX bus) to which the inserted channel is being sent.

Switches the type of equalizer and sidechain filter

Frequency controlled by the equalizer and sidechain filter

Q of the equalizer and sidechain filter

Threshold value at which processing begins to apply

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

Specifies whether the processor will operate when the sidechain signal exceeds the threshold setting (ABOVE) or when it falls below the threshold setting (BELOW)

Attack time/release time for when compression or boost is applied

Reference Manual

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

*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

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.

Appendices

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 = 1/24 = 1/16 = 1/12 = 3/32

= 3/16 = 1/4 = 3/8 = 1/2 = 3/4

= 1/8

= 1/1

= 1/6

= 2/1

Reference Manual

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.

STATUS

DATA

1000nnnn 8n Note off message

0nnnnnnn nn Note number

0vvvvvvv vv Velocity (ignored)

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.

STATUS

DATA

1001nnnn 9n Note on message

0nnnnnnn nn Note number

0vvvvvvv vv Velocity (1-127:on, 0:off)

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.

In the data portion, seven words of 8-bit data are converted into eight words of 7-bit data.

3.3 PARAMETER CHANGE

Reception

This message is echoed if [PARAMETER CHANGE ECHO] is ON.

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.
