Quick Start Guide

A guide for people using M7CL in the real world.
Part 2
The Virtual Effects Rack. Remote HA Connection. Editor connection guide.
Using Scenes, Patching Monitor out, Accessing Outport Delays.
This is part 2 of a "quick start guide" designed for people
about to use Yamaha M7CL for the first time. It is not a
guide to audio mixing and it assumes the reader has
experience of analog mixers. It does not replace the
manual; we recommend referring to the manual if further
information is required. Most of the features can be
found by intuitive screen pressing but be
sure to practice in non-critical
situations!
282 pages of manual and then
the editor and driver guides.
Mmmmm..... there has got to be a
quicker way...
