Overview of CL Editor

Getting Started

NOTE

CL Editor enables you to remotely control a Yamaha CL mixing console (such as CL5, CL3, or CL1; hereinafter collectively called “CL” in this document). CL Editor also enables you to save the parameter settings on your computer.

Configuring CL Editor

❏ System Setup

To open the System Setup dialog box, choose [System Setup] from the [File] menu.

1 Network

Specify the IP Address of your CL console to communicate.

2 Model Select

Select the model of your CL (CL5/CL3/CL1) when CL Editor is not synchronized with the CL console. If CL Editor is synchronized with the CL console, the model will automatically be selected and other model options will be grayed out.

3 Channel Select/Sends On Fader

This checkbox enables you to specify whether or not the CL console and CL Editor are linked to each other for the following operations:

•Selecting channels

•Switching between normal mode and SENDS

ON FADER mode

• Switching between MIX and MATIRX in

SENDS ON FADER mode

•Selecting [CUE] buttons

If you do not check the box, the CL console and CL Editor will operate independently.

If the box is not checked, the [CUE] button will be hidden in each window.

4 Synchronization

This allows synchronization to be done automatically when a CL Editor file is loaded. This function is enabled by default.

5 Window Control From Console

This option determines whether or not using the USER DEFINED KEYS on the console enables you to remotely open and close the CL Editor windows.

6 Level Meter

This option specifies whether the level meter functionality will be enabled. By disabling the meter function you can reduce the processing load caused by screen drawing and communication.

7 Confirmation

These check boxes specify whether a confirmation dialog box will appear when you store (Store Confirmation), recall (Recall Confirmation), patch (Patch Confirmation), or make a patch change that would modify an existing patch (Steal Patch Confirmation).

8 Administrator Password

Enter the Administrator password that was specified on the CL console. If this password is not entered correctly, it will not be possible to synchronize from CL Editor to the CL console.

CL Editor Owner’s Manual

9 Set Default

Press this button to use the settings (except for the IP Address in the Network section) currently specified in the System Setup dialog box as the default settings. The next time when you start up CL Editor, it will use these settings.

❏ Mixer Setup

To open the Mixer Setup dialog box, choose [Mixer Setup] from the [File] menu.

1 Mix Bus Setup

Here you can make settings relating to the MIX buses.

Signal Type: Choose either MONOx2 or STEREO for each

two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered MIX buses.

Bus Type/Send Point: Choose either VARI (PRE

FADER) or VARI (PRE EQ) or FIXED for each two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered MIX buses.

Pan Link: The PAN setting for signals sent to stereo MIX

buses will link to the PAN setting for the STEREO bus. This parameter is valid only if the Signal Type is set to STEREO and the Bus Type is set to VARI.

2 Matrix Bus Setup

Here you can make settings relating to the MATRIX buses.

Signal Type: Choose either MONOx2 or STEREO for each

two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered MATRIX buses.

Send Point for Input Channels: Choose either PRE

FADER or PRE EQ for each two adjacent odd-numbered/ even-numbered MATRIX buses.

Pan Link: The PAN setting for signals sent to stereo

MATRIX buses will link to the PAN setting for the STEREO bus. This parameter is valid only if the Signal Type is set to STEREO.

❏ Creating a user key

E F

D BC

To open the Create User Key dialog box, choose [Create User Key] from the [File] menu. This creates a user key (with “.CLU” file name extension) that can be read from a USB flash drive by the CL console to

Enter a comment for each user. You can enter up to thirty-two single-byte alphanumeric characters.

3 Password

Enter a password that will be used when this user key is read by the CL console. You can enter up to eight single-byte alphanumeric characters. Uppercase and lowercase are distinguished.

4 Re-Enter Password

Enter the password once again as a safeguard against mistaken entry.

5 POWER USER

Specify whether this user is a power user. Power users can use the CL console to create or edit a user authentication key with a specified user level.

6 Administrator Password

Undo/Redo Function

In CL Editor, you can cancel the latest operation (Undo) and also cancel the cancellation of the latest operation (Redo). If you perform an Undo operation twice in a row, you can cancel the two most-recent operations. If you perform an Undo operation three times in a row, you can cancel the three most-recent operations. In this way, you can cancel multiple recent operations.

The following table describes how to use the Undo/Redo function.

Undo

Redo

Please note, however, that after you perform one of the following operations, you cannot successfully undo or redo any previous operation:

• Operations on the CL console

• Synchronizing with the CL console

Choose [Undo] from the [Edit] menu.

Choose [Redo] from the [Edit] menu.

You cannot Undo or Redo the following operations:

• Edits in the Setup window

• Synchronization

• Opening and closing the windows

• Resizing or moving the windows There are certain other operations that cannot be undone, depending on the function.

For library or scene operations, Undo/Redo applies only to the single most recent operation. You cannot undo any operations prior to this. Undo/Redo in these windows is available only using the [UNDO] button within the respective window. Even if you perform a scene recall from the Master window, you cannot use a shortcut or menu operation to undo the recall.

CL Editor Owner’s Manual

Synchronizing CL Editor

NOTE

When CL Editor starts up, the parameter settings on the console and the parameter settings in CL Editor may be different. Therefore, you must first match the parameter settings on the console with those in CL Editor. This operation is called “synchronization.” Follow the steps below to synchronize CL Editor.

1 Select [Synchronization], then [Re-synchronize].

The following window opens.

If CL Editor is in the offline status the [Re-synchronize] function is not available.

2 Select whether you want to transfer your settings to

CL Editor, or vice versa.

Console -> PC:

your console to the CL Editor.

PC -> Console: Transfers the current parameter settings in CL Editor to your console.

At this time, the All Libraries option determines whether or not Library data is synchronized. If you select the [Dante Setup and I/O Rack] check box, Dante settings will also be synchronized. Clear this check box

if you want to preserve the Dante settings of the CL console when using PC -> Console.

The Dante settings of the CL console will be copied to CL Editor if you clear this check box and select PC -> Console, or if you select Console -> PC.

3 Click [OK].

Transfers the current parameter settings of

Do not operate the console while synchronization is in progress.

Offline Edit Function

If you do not want to synchronize your console with CL Editor, select [Offline Edit] from the [Synchronization] menu. To apply your off-line edits to your console, select [Re-Synchronize] from the [Synchronization] with the PC -> Console option to synchronize the console with CL Editor.

The Offline Edit function is also activated when you click the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE] button in the Master window.

Some effect parameters in the console change their displayed values depending on the sampling frequency. If you switch CL Editor from OFFLINE to ONLINE, displayed parameter values may change because CL Editor loads the sampling frequency from the console and updates the display.

Other Functions

❏ Resetting to the default value (Ctrl( )+click)

Move the cursor to a control or a parameter value, then hold down the <Ctrl>(< >) key and click the mouse button to reset the value to the default (e.g., to reset a pan setting to Center).

However, the channel faders and the send knobs and bar graphs can be set to –∞ regardless of the default value.

❏ Ctrl( )+Shift+Click

Move the mouse cursor to a channel fader or to a send knob or bar graph, and click while holding down the <Ctrl>(< >) key and <Shift> key to set the nominal value regardless of the default value.

CL Editor Owner’s Manual

In the Master window you can synchronize to the CL itself, recall scenes, and display the Overview window. To open this

Master window

window, choose [Master] from the [Windows] menu.
