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.”
NOTE
With M7CL V2 Editor, you can open files that include the extension “.M7C” or “.YSE” that have been saved on the M7CL Version 1 console or in M7CL Editor Version 1, but not vice versa. That is, with the M7CL Version 1 console or M7CL Editor Version 1, you cannot open files that have been saved in M7CL V2 Editor.
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
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.

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.
1 Select [Synchronize], then [Re-synchronize].
The following window opens.
2 Select 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: Tr ansfers the current parameter settings in M7CL Editor to your console. Console PC: Tr ansfers the current parameter settings of your console to the M7CL 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.
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.

To do this, use the following methods to select the scene(s) that you want to copy or move.
•To select a single scene
Click the line containing the desired scene.
•To select multiple consecutive scenes
Click the first scene to select it; then hold down the <Shift> key and click the last scene.
•To select multiple non-consecutive scenes
Click the first scene; then hold down the <Ctrl> key and click each of the remaining scenes.
When you have selected the scene(s) that you want to move or copy, drag them to the desired location in the other list (if you’re copying between lists) or in the same list (if you’re copying/moving within the same list).
•To copy scenes (overwriting the destination)
Drag the copy-source scene(s) to the desired line in the other list or to another line in the same list. At this time, a ® symbol will appear at the right of the scene number.
When you drop the scene in this state, a dialog box will appear, asking you to confirm the Save operation. If you click the OK button, the copy-source scene(s) will be overwritten onto the copy-destination scenes, and the copy-source scene(s) will remain unchanged. (If the copy-source selection contains multiple scenes, the data will be over­written onto consecutive scenes starting at that scene.)
•To move scenes
Within the same list, you can move the selected scene(s) to another location to rearrange the order of the scenes in the list. To do this, drag the selected scene(s) to a location between two other lines in the same list. At this time, a symbol will appear between the lines.
When you release the mouse button in this state, the selected scene(s) will move to that location, and the scene numbers will also change accordingly. (If the move-source selection contains multiple scenes, those scenes will be inserted consecutively at the location you specify.)
NOTE
You cannot copy the InitialData of the GEQ library.
N STORE
Stores the current settings to the data item that is selected in the list.
O RECALL
Recalls the data item that is selected in the list.
P CLEAR
Clears the data item(s) selected in the list. (The title of the cleared item(s) will be reset to [No Data!].)
