Yamaha M7CL StageMix V1.5 Manual de usuario

M7CL StageMix V3.0 User Guide

Welcome:

Thank you for downloading the “M7CL StageMix” iPad app for the Yamaha M7CL digital

mixing consoles. This version of StageMix is for use with M7CL firmware V3.5 and higher.

The latest firmware version for M7CL can be downloaded from

www.yamahaproaudio.com

StageMix is an application for the Apple iPad that provides remote control of Yamaha M7CL

digital mixing console functions via a simple, intuitive graphical interface from anywhere

within wireless range. The software has been specifically designed to allow engineers to

adjust monitor mixes from the performers’ positions on stage, directly controlling mix

parameters via the iPad rather than having to rely on verbal directions to a second engineer.

The result is better mixes in less time; a huge advantage during high-pressure pre-show

setup. Although StageMix is focused on the requirements for adjusting monitor mixes on

stage, its range of features is continually expanding, allowing it to be used for a wider variety

of remote control functions.

1.0 System Requirements

Apple iPad (1st generation iPad, iPad 2, or 3rd generation iPad)

Yamaha M7CL digital mixing console with V3.5 firmware or higher (any model,

including M7CL-48, M7CL-32, M7CL-48ES).

Wi-Fi access point (preferably with 802.11n, 5GHz capability, though 2.4GHz

and 802.11g will also work)

CAT5 cable (to connect the console to a Wi-Fi access point)

2.0 Wi-Fi Settings

Configure the Wi-Fi access point, following the manufacturer’s instructions. No

special settings are needed, but using security such as WPA is highly recommended,

to prevent unwanted devices from joining the network. Here are some suggested

settings to assist less experienced Wi-Fi users:

1. Give the wireless network a name (this is the “SSID”).

2. Choose a security mode (such as WPA) and password.

3. Select the wireless mode (802.11g or n).

4. In the case of “n”, select the wireless band (2.4 or 5GHz).

5. If available, enable “Auto Channel Selection” so the wireless channel with the

least interference will be selected.

802.11n networks at 5GHz are preferred because they allow faster communication

between the iPad and the Wi-Fi access point. Practically, this could result in more

accurate level metering with the StageMix app. Also, with 802.11n being a newer

standard, it is less prone to interference from other wireless networks. Using a Wi-Fi

access point with 2 or more external aerials is recommended to increase potential

signal range. Booster aerials could be connected for a further increase in

performance.

3.0 Getting Started

3.1 M7CL Network Setup

I. Connect the Wi-Fi access point to the M7CL console’s network port via a

CAT5 cable. Note that a cross-over cable will be needed with older access

points that don’t have the “auto MDIX” function. Most recent devices will

support “auto MDIX”, in which case a straight CAT5 cable can be used.

II. Note the IP address and MAC address of the M7CL console - they will need to

be entered into the iPad later. They can be found in the console as follows:

a. Press the [SETUP] button on the M7CL touchscreen

b. Press [NETWORK] on the M7CL touchscreen

3.2 iPad Wi-Fi Settings

The iPad needs to be given a static IP address in the same range as the

M7CL’s IP Address.

a. Open the iPad “Settings” menu

b. Select “Wi-Fi”, and choose the correct network

c. Press the blue circle with the white arrow to the right of the selected

network to edit the IP address.

d. Select [Static].

Page 5

Yamaha Commercial Audio M7CL StageMix V3.0 User Guide

e. IP Address: enter an IP Address similar to the one for the M7CL

console, but with just the last number different. (For example, if the

M7CL is 192.168.0.128, give an address to the iPad such as

192.168.0.127).

f. Subnet Mask: enter “255.255.255.0”

g. Router: enter the IP Address of your Wi-Fi Access Point (usually printed

on the bottom of the device)

h. Press the iPad’s Home button to exit the Settings menu.

3.3 StageMix Setup

Launch the “M7CL StageMix” App

The “Select Mixer” screen will appear. From this screen, you can do any of

the following things:

Access the OFFLINE DEMO mode to explore the features and user

interface of M7CL StageMix.

Page 6

Yamaha Commercial Audio M7CL StageMix V3.0 User Guide

Configure StageMix to work with an M7CL console.

Select an M7CL console that has already been configured to work with

your iPad and begin using StageMix.

3.3.1 OFFLINE DEMO

If [OFFLINE DEMO] is pressed in the “Select Mixer” screen, the functions of

StageMix will operate independently of any mixing console. It is a useful way

to demonstrate and learn how to use the app without the need for a mixer.

Level meters and most Scene Memory functions do not work in this mode.

3.3.2 Configure StageMix to Work with an M7CL Console

i. Press [ADD MIXER] to open the following screen:

ii. Tap on the blank Name field and enter a name for your M7CL console

using the iPad’s onscreen keyboard.

iii. Enter the M7CL console’s IP address noted in 3.1. The default IP

Address may not need to be changed but confirm this in the Network

Setup screen of the M7CL console (refer to 3.1). If you need to modify

the IP Address in StageMix, make sure you include the dots between

the sets of numbers (as shown above).

iv. Enter the M7CL console’s MAC address noted in 3.1. When entering

the MAC Address, the colons between sets of characters will be

automatically added by StageMix.

v. Select the Model of M7CL console.

vi. Press the [ADD MIXER] button at the bottom of the screen.

3.3.3 Select a Mixer and Begin Working

If your iPad has been configured to work with an M7CL console, select the

mixer from the list and press [CONNECT]. (The model of mixer (M7CL-48 or

M7CL-32) will appear in smaller text below the mixer’s name.)

The message “Syncing With M7CL…” will appear while StageMix is obtaining

parameters from the console. After this process is complete, the Mixer window

will appear and StageMix is ready to be used.

If StageMix cannot connect with your M7CL console, refer to the

Troubleshooting section (9.0) at the end of this document for possible

solutions.

3.3.4 Edit Mixer Configurations

The parameters of a saved Mixer Configuration can be viewed and edited by

tapping the right arrow button next to a mixer’s name. This will open the Edit

Mixer screen which allows the Name, IP Address and MAC Address to be

verified and edited using the procedures described in section 3.3.2. After

editing, press [SAVE MIXER] to save any changes.

Yamaha Commercial Audio M7CL StageMix V3.0 User Guide

4.0 Mixer Window

The main page of the StageMix is called the “Mixer” window. It shows the EQ

curves, Pan positions, CUE and ON buttons, faders and level meters, and

channel names and colors for eight adjacent channels.

Across the top of the screen, level meters and faders are displayed in blocks

of channels for mono Input Channels 1-48, Stereo Input Channels 1-4, Mix

and Matrix busses, and the Master Stereo and Mono busses. This is the

“Navigation/Meter Bridge”.

4.1 Channel Bank Navigation

Press any of the “Navigation/Meter Bridge” blocks to select the bank of

channels to be viewed and controlled in the channel strips below.

4.2 Channel Names and Colors

The name of each channel appears in StageMix as it does in the M7CL

console. The names are dimmed if the channel is switched off. A bar above

each channel name displays the color based on the channel type.

Double-tap on the channel name in the Mixer window to edit the name (colors

cannot be edited). Type in a name and press [return]. Alternatively, navigate

to another channel using the left/right cursor buttons above the keyboard.

This allows multiple channels to be named before closing the keyboard.

4.3 Faders

Each fader has its channel number displayed on its cap. The fader cap must

be touched to allow the level to be adjusted. When a fader cap is touched, its

background will lighten and its current dB value will be displayed. Using the

iPad’s multi-touch facility, up to eight faders can be moved simultaneously.

Note: “Multitasking Gestures” must be turned Off in the iPad in order to allow

four or more faders to be adjusted simultaneously (refer to 9.5 for details).

4.3.1 Long Faders

Press the [LONG FADERS] button at the bottom-left corner of the Mixer

window to allow more accurate adjustment of fader levels. In this view,

EQ, Pan and the “Navigation/Meter Bridge” are not visible.

4.3.2 Navigation in Long Faders Mode

Although the “Navigation/Meter Bridge” is not visible in Long Faders

mode, it is possible to navigate up or down in banks of 8 channels

using the left/right arrow buttons in the upper left area of the Mixer

window.

Press the [LONG FADERS] button in the bottom-left corner again to return to

the Mixer Overview.

4.4 Channel ON

Press [ON] to change the on/off status of the channel. The button is green

when the channel is on. When a channel is off, its name and level meter will

dim and its fader position shown in the “Navigation/Meter Bridge” will also dim.

If a channel is muted as part of a Mute Group, the ON button will blink.
