M7CL Editor enables you to remotely control the Yamaha M7CL mixing console and to save the parameter settings on your computer. To use M7CL Editor, you must first perform the following operations:
1Start and configure Studio Manager.
2Start and configure M7CL Editor.
3Synchronize M7CL Editor with your M7CL console ( p.8).
NOTE For more information on using Studio Manager, refer to the Studio Manager Owner’s Manual.
Configuring M7CL Editor
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 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 Be sure to specify the Input port and Output port.
AInput port/Output port
From the ports you specified in Studio Manager, select the ports that the editor will use to communicate with the M7CL console.
BFast Sync
This allows synchronization to be speed up, reducing the time required. Use this check box to choose whether to enable this function.
CWindow 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 M7CL Editor windows.
DLevel Meter

M7CL Editor Owner’s Manual |
Working with Sessions
All of your console’s mix settings in M7CL 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 M7CL Editor have a filename extension of “.YSE”. Files in which only the M7CL console data is saved (filename extension “.M7C”) can also be handled, allowing you to use a USB storage device to exchange data with the M7CL 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 M7CL 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 M7CL console
•Quitting Studio Manager
•Synchronizing with the M7CL 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.
NOTE 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.

M7CL Editor Owner’s Manual |
Window operations
You can select and open each window from the [Windows] menu. For the INPUT CH window and Effect Editor 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.

Synchronizing M7CL Editor
When M7CL Editor starts up, the parameter settings on the console and the parameter settings in M7CL Editor may be different. Therefore, you must first match the parameter settings on the console with those in M7CL Editor. This operation is called “synchronization.” Follow the steps below to synchronize M7CL Editor.
1Select [Synchronize], then [Re-synchronize].
The following window opens.
2Select whether you want to transfer your settings to M7CL Editor, or vice versa.
At this time, the All Libs option determines whether or not Scene and Library data is synchronized.
PC Console: Transfers the current parameter settings in M7CL Editor to your console. Console PC: Transfers the current parameter settings of your console to the M7CL Editor.
3Click [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.
Offline Edit Function
If you do not want to synchronize your console with M7CL 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 M7CL 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 M7CL Editor from OFFLINE to ONLINE, displayed parameter values may change because M7CL 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.

EMATRIX SEND
These bar graphs indicate the send levels of the signals sent from the
MIX channel to MATRIX 1–8 bus. You can also adjust the send levels by dragging a bar graph to left or right. While you drag the bar
graph, the send level is shown in the numerical display area for TO STEREO/MONO.
You can set the minimum value (–∞ dB) by holding down the <Ctrl> key of your computer keyboard and clicking the bar graph,
or set the nominal value (0.00 dB) by holding down the <Ctrl> key and <Shift> key and clicking the bar graph.
The bar graph display will change as follows according to the send position (pre/post) and on/off status of the signal sent from the MIX channel to the MATRIX buses.
To switch a send on/off, click the channel number located at the left of the bar graph.
FPAN/BALANCE
The PAN knob adjusts the panning of the signal that is sent from the mix channel to the STEREO bus L/R channels (or the L/C/R channels). You can set this to the center value by holding down the <Ctrl> key of your computer keyboard and clicking this knob. If assigned as a stereo bus, this adjusts the balance of the odd-numbered channel and even-numbered channel. The stereo bus setting can be made in Mix Bus Setup of the Mixer Setup screen.
The [ST] button is an on/off switch for the signal that is sent from the mix channel to the STEREO bus.
The [MONO] button is an on/off switch for the signal that is sent from the mix channel to the MONO bus.
If LCR MODE is selected in the Selected Channel window, the [LCR] button will appear instead of the [ST] button and [MONO] button, and the [LCR] button will be an on/off switch for the signal that is sent from the mix channel to the LCR bus.

or set it to the nominal value (0.00 dB) by holding down the
<Ctrl> key and <Shift> key and clicking the fader knob.
The numbers and alphabetical letters at the right of the fader indicate the mute groups to which that channel belongs, and show the Recall Safe and Mute Safe status of the channel.
