M7CL Owner’s Manual

Inserting an external device into a channel

110

If desired, you can insert an effect processor or other external device into the signal path of an

INPUT, MIX, MA TRIX, STEREO, or MONO channel. When doing so, the type of input/output port

used for the insertion and the location of the insertion in/out can be speciﬁed individually for each

channel.

1As desired, connect your external equip-

ment to the I/O card(s) in slots 1–3.

If you are using the M7CL-48ES, you can also con-

nect your external equipment to the OMNI IN/OUT

jacks.

2Use the navigation keys to access the

OVERVIEW screen for the channel to which

you want to assign an input source.

3Press the INSERT/DIRECT OUT ﬁeld to

access the INSERT/DIRECT OUT popup

window.

In the INSERT/DIRECT OUT popup window you can

view or change the type of input/output port used for

insertion and the location at which insertion will

occur. There are two variations of this popup window;

one-channel and eight channel. These windows
