Chapter 5
Input channel operations
This chapter explains operations for input channels (INPUT channels and ST
IN channels).
The input channels are the section that processes the signals received from the rear panel input
jacks or slots 1–3, and sends them to the STEREO bus, MONO bus, MIX buses, and MATRIX
buses. There are two types of input channel, as follows.
These channels are used to process monaural signals. When the M7CL is in the default state, the input signals from INPUT
jacks are assigned to these channels.
These channels are used to process stereo signals. When the M7CL is in the default state, the signals from RACK 5–8 are
assigned to these channels.
