Synchronizing DM1000 Editor

When DM1000 Editor starts up, the parameter settings on the console and the parameter settings in DM1000 Editor may be different. Therefore, you must first match the parameter settings on the console with those in DM1000 Editor. This operation is called “synchronization.” Follow the steps below to synchronize DM1000 Editor.
1
Select [Synchronize], then [Total Recall...].
The following window opens.
2
Select whether you want to transfer your settings to DM1000 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 DM1000 Editor to your console.
Console -> PC: Tr ansfers the current parameter settings of your console to the DM1000 Editor.

Click [OK].
Getting Started
Windows
Windows
Using DM1000 Editor
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 DM1000 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 DM1000 Editor.
The Offline Edit function is also activated when you click the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE] button in the Master window.
Note: Some effect parameters in the console change their displayed values depending on the sampling
frequency. If you switch DM1000 Editor from OFFLINE to ONLINE, displayed parameter values may change because DM1000 Editor loads the sampling frequency from the console and updates the dis­play.

Working with Sessions

Keyboard Shortcuts
All of your console’s mix settings in DM1000 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.
Note: In order to save the current Automix, or the settings of an optional Y56K card, in a Session,
you must first resynchronize DM1000 Editor by selecting the Console->PC option.
DM1000 Editor—Owner’s Manual

If you save a Session in an Editor, only that Editor’s settings are saved in a file. The Editor’s settings are saved in either the Studio Manager V2 format (file extension “.YSE”) or a format that is com­patible with earlier versions of Studio Manager (file extension “.D1X”). Note that earlier versions of Studio Manager cannot open a Session saved in the “.YSE” format.
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 DM1000 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.
