1 Start and conﬁgure Studio Manager.

2 Start and conﬁgure PM5D Editor.

3 Synchronize PM5D Editor with your PM5D console ( ➥ p.3).

NOTE

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

Conﬁguring PM5D Editor

You must conﬁgure the following settings for each open Editor.

NOTE

System Setup

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

Be sure to specify the Input port and Output port.

Input port/Output port:

Synchronizing PM5D Editor

When PM5D Editor starts up, the parameter settings on the console and the parameter settings in PM5D Editor may be different. Therefore, you must ﬁrst match the parameter settings on the console with those in PM5D Editor. This operation is called “synchronization.” Follow the steps below to synchronize PM5D Editor.

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

The following window opens.

2 Select whether you want to transfer your settings to PM5D

Editor, or vice versa.

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

PC -> Console: Console -> PC:

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.

Tr ansfers the current parameter settings in PM5D Editor to your console. Tr ansfers the current parameter settings of your console to the PM5D Editor.

Ofﬂine Edit Function

If you do not want to synchronize your console with PM5D 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 PM5D 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 PM5D Editor from OFFLINE to ONLINE, displayed parameter values may change because PM5D Editor loads the sampling frequency from the console and updates the display.

PM5D Editor Owner’s Manual

Working with Sessions

All of your console’s mix settings in PM5D Editor, including Scene and library data, are called Sessions. The following table describes how to handle Sessions.

Creating a new Session

Opening a previously saved Session

Saving the current Session

Saving the current Session with a new name

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 PM5D Editor have a ﬁlename extension of “.YSE”. Files in which only the PM5D console data is saved (ﬁlename extension “.PM5”) can also be handled, allowing you to use a memory card to exchange data with the PM5D 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.”

Choose [New Session] from the [File] menu.

Choose [Open Session] from the [File] menu.

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

Choose [Save Session As...] from the [File] menu.

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.

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