Getting Started

Overview of LS9 Editor

LS9 Editor enables you to remotely control the Yamaha LS9 mixing console and to save the parameter settings on your computer. To use LS9 Editor, you must ﬁrst perform the following operations:

1 Start and conﬁgure Studio Manager.

2 Start and conﬁgure LS9 Editor.

3 Synchronize LS9 Editor with your LS9 console ( ➥ p.8).

NOTE

Conﬁguring LS9 Editor

For more information on using Studio Manager, refer to the Studio Manager Owner’s Manual.

You must conﬁgure the following settings for each open Editor.

NOTE

• Before you make the following settings, you must make settings for the DME-N Network Driver (Windows) or the Network-MIDI Driver (Mac) and select the MIDI port in the Setup window of Studio Manager.

•To open an editor, double-click the icon for the desired editor in the Studio Manager window.

System Setup

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

NOTE

Input port/Output port

From the ports you speciﬁed in Studio Manager, select the ports that the editor will use to communicate with the LS9 console.

LS9 Editor Owner’s Manual

Working with Sessions

All of your console’s mix settings in LS9 Editor, including Scene and library data, are called Sessions. The following table describes how to handle Sessions.

Creating a new Session Choose [New Session] from the [File] menu.

Opening a previously saved Session Choose [Open Session] from the [File] menu.

Saving the current Session Choose [Save Session] from the [File] menu.

Saving the current Session with a new name Choose [Save Session As...] from the [File] menu.

When you save a session in the window of an editor, the settings of only that editor will be saved in a ﬁle. Session ﬁles saved by LS9 Editor have a ﬁlename extension of “.YSE”. Files in which only the LS9 console data is saved (ﬁlename extension “.L9A”) can also be handled, allowing you to use a USB storage device to exchange data with the LS9 console.

If you save a Session in the Studio Manager window, all selected Editor settings are saved in a ﬁle with a ﬁle extension of “.YSM.”

Undo/Redo Function

In LS9 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 Choose [Undo] from the [Edit] menu.

Redo Choose [Redo] from the [Edit] menu.

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

•Operations on the LS9 console

• Quitting Studio Manager

•Synchronizing with the LS9 console

•Session operations

NOTE

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.

LS9 Editor Owner’s Manual

Window operations

You can select and open each window from the [Windows] menu. For the Overview window and Rack window, use the sub-menu to select the channels or library you want to see.

You can choose Tile or Cascade to arrange the windows within the editor.

● Tile

● Cascade

In the Library window or Scene window, click the tabs located at the top of the window to switch between pages.

LS9 Editor Owner’s Manual

Synchronizing LS9 Editor

When LS9 Editor starts up, the parameter settings on the console and the parameter settings in LS9 Editor may be different. Therefore, you must ﬁrst match the parameter settings on the console with those in LS9 Editor. This operation is called “synchronization.” Follow the steps below to synchronize LS9 Editor.

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

The following window opens.

2 Select whether you want to transfer your settings to LS9 Edi-

tor, or vice versa.

At this time, the All Libs option determines whether or not Scene and Library data is synchronized.

PC ➔ Console: Tr ansfers the current parameter settings in LS9 Editor to your console. Console ➔ PC: Tr ansfers the current parameter settings of your console to the LS9 Editor.

3 Click [OK].

Do not operate the console while synchronization is in progress.

NOTE

• If you use the “Total Recall” function in Studio Manager, all selected Editors in Studio Manager are synchronized with the corresponding devices.

• If you synchronize using PC -> Console, and the console contains data that is set to “read-only,” a dialog box will ask you whether you want to copy the read-only data to LS9 Editor. If this data is not copied, console data that is set to read-only status will not be synchronized.

Ofﬂine Edit Function

If you do not want to synchronize your console with LS9 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 LS9 Editor. The Ofﬂine Edit function is also activated when you click the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE] button in the Sync window.

NOTE

Some effect parameters in the console change their displayed values depending on the sampling frequency. If you switch LS9 Editor from OFFLINE to ONLINE, displayed parameter values may change because LS9 Editor loads the sampling frequency from the console and updates the display.

Basic operation of controllers

You can operate the controllers in the following ways.

❏ Knobs

•Drag

•Click, and then use the up/down/left/right cursor keys

•Click, and then use the PageUp/PageDown keys (greater change than the cursor keys)

•Click, and then Home sets to far left

•Click, and then End sets to far right

• <Ctrl>(< >)+click sets to default value

For send knobs etc., sets to –∞ regardless of the default value.

• <Ctrl>(< >)+<Shift>+click sets to nominal For send knobs etc., sets to nominal regardless of the default value.

LS9 Editor Owner’s Manual

❏ Faders
