A major software update incorporating the most requested features of the enormously successful M7CL mixing console

Available in 32 and 48 channel versions, the versatile M7CL has become the console of choice for a vast range of applications, from regional venues and houses of worship to major live music tours and theater productions. Incorporating requests from thousands of users worldwide, the M7CL Version 2 update adds even more functions to the console's already considerable palette.

The M7CL Version 2 software update is available online free of charge for all users. Yamaha is committed to supporting our valued customers through continuing product updates.

Global Paste

Global Paste allows simultaneous editing of parameters on multiple scenes. You no longer need to recall and save edited parameters on every single scene.
In the event that you need to make last minute changes to HA or EQ settings in all scenes because a fill-in musician is bringing different instruments on a particular show, Global Paste will make this adjustment fast and easy.

Channel Library

The Channel Library is a memory bank that stores channel parameter settings such as dynamics and EQ. Store parameter settings of your most frequently used channel configurations for efficient setup.

Matrix Send on Sends on Fader

You can now assign Matrix Send on "Sends on Fader" mode, making the M7CL a powerful 24 bus monitor mixer.
The "Input to Matrix" is a useful feature, directly sending input to the 8 matrix buses. Send levels to all buses can now be controlled using faders instead of knobs for more intuitive and precise control.
The improved Sends on Fader function is useful for handling numerous stage monitor or effect sends.

Relative Level Channel Link

Channel Link is a function that links the operation of parameters such as fader and EQ between input channels. With M7CL Version 2, you can now create links with offsets in level. For example, several channels of mics on a drumset can be linked to control level of the entire drum mix.

Direct access of Sends on Fader from knobs during the Sends on Fader mode

When in Sends on Fader mode, pressing the Mix Send knob will select the corresponding Mix bus, giving you speedy access to your desired mix send levels. If you currently use User Defined Keys to jump to Sends on Faders, this new feature will free up precious User Defined Keys for an even faster operation.
Select Sends on Fader destination simply by pressing the desired Mix knob. You can now use the hardware knob or the touch panel button to select Send destination.

*This feature will be made available in a future update.

Post On insert for input/output

This is a new insert point requested by users who need inserts after fader adjustments, or need certain output level before insert.
In a live recording situation, you may want to insert an internal GEQ to the Stereo Master, which is also being sent to a Matrix Bus. By inserting the internal GEQ in the Post Fader insert position, Matrix Bus sends will not have to go through the GEQ.
Broadcast applications that require a limiter to be inserted to the master will benefit from this new insert point. By having the insert point after the fader, avoid unneccesary limiting even when fader level is low.

Post On direct out

The Post On direct out can be convenient for live recording using M7CL's mix and EQ settings. If recording live, using this direct out position can prevent noise on the feed when plugging or unplugging a DI bass guitar if the fader level is low. Any signal not required for recording such as playback cues, can be excluded from the live recording feed.

Monitor/Cue level control on the Mono/ Stereo faders

You now have a choice of controlling Monitor/Cue level using either the Mono or the Stereo fader and the Monitor Level encoder. The fader will better visualize its level and allow precise and comfortable adjustments for many users.

Recall Safe improvements

Input channel attenuator is now an independent recall safe parameter.This is useful when sharing SB168-ES stage inputs with two M7CL consoles.
Only one console can take control of the HA on the SB168-ES.The non-controlling M7CL can use the attenuation to make necessary level adjustments.The attenuation is a recall safe parameter and can be configured to maintain its level even if a different scene is recalled.
