To use the Sounds of the keyboard, you will need to create a New Instrument with the MIDI "Send To" set to your keyboard MIDI port. For the piano keys, you will need to create a New Keyboard, with the MIDI Receive From assigned to the MIDI port the device is connected to, but don't need the MIDI "Send To." Set this to Default Instrument Input.Ģ. Studio One has to be the master device.ġ. Make sure the keyboard is set to external MIDI clock.
Please read these articles for setting up External MIDI Devices with Studio One 3: Of note is Graphic EQ operation, where the individual bands of EQ can be mapped to faders for precision control.Yes, you can manually set that keyboard up with Studio One. Effects are from Yamaha's library of digital effects developed for other digital mixers. The M7CL features a virtual signal processing "rack" which allows for the use of many different effects or Graphic EQs. It is possible to control the mixer from the Centralogic section only and is designed to keep the user at the center section. There are no additional layers to navigate through.
The control software has only 3 main screens, Overview, Selected Channel, and Effects Rack views. It employs a touch screen, rotary encoders, and faders that dynamically map to whatever function or parameter is selected for adjustment. Selecting a channel will pull up all available parameters into the Centralogic section for adjustment.Ĭentralogic is a technology new and unique to the M7CL. The selected channel interface allows for quick and easy access to every parameter of any channel on the board quickly and easily. The 8 matrix outputs are controlled by 8 white faders at the bottom.
The individual matrix level controls are shown as horizontal bars in dark orange.
All 16 mix buses plus the main L/R/Mono buses are routed to 8 matrix outputs.

In 2011, a wireless app to control the M7CL with an iPad was nominated but did not win the TEC Award for best wireless technology. In 2006, the M7CL was recognized at the TEC Awards ceremony for best sound reinforcement console technology. The M7CL-48ES recently joined the line-up with built-in EtherSound for digital networking using EtherSound stage boxes. It can be augmented with more inputs or outputs via expansion cards, and can be fitted with third-party cards such as ones made by Aviom (A-Net), AuviTran ( EtherSound), Audinate ( Dante networking), AudioService ( MADI), Dan Dugan ( automixer), Riedel Communications (RockNet), Waves Audio (SoundGrid interface, DSP plugins), and Optocore (optical network). The board features Yamaha's "Selected Channel" technology, and Centralogic, unique to the M7CL. The eight faders of the master control section can control multiple functions by way of "layers" in the same manner as the Yamaha PM5D. Mixes, masters, groups, DCAs and individual channels can then be routed to an output via any number of the board's 16 configurable output XLR ports. These models have 40 (32 microphone and 4 stereo line)- and 56 (48 microphone and 4 stereo line)-input channels respectively, counting mono channels. Two models with onboard analog input exist: the M7CL-32 and M7CL-48.
The Yamaha M7CL is a digital mixer that was manufactured by Yamaha Pro Audio. A 48-channel M7CL is readied for a dinner event
