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.
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 (file-
name 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.
With M7CL V3 Editor, you can also open files that have been saved on any version of M7CL console or
Editor other than version 3 if the files feature the extension “.M7C” or “.YSE”. However, once you save
these files on the M7CL V3 console or Editor, you will not be able to open them on the other version of
M7CL console or Editor.
If you use the M7CL-48ES console to open a session saved via the M7CL-32/48 console, or if you use the
M7CL-32/48 console to open a session saved via the M7CL-48ES, the patch settings will change and the
same HA settings will be used as follows:
(*) The same HA settings will be used.
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.

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 per-
form 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.
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
You cannot Undo or Redo the following operations:
• Edits in the Setup window
• Synchronization
• Opening and closing the windows
• Resizing or moving the windows
• Stage Box Data Conversion
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.
Undo
Choose [Undo] from the [Edit] menu.
Redo
Choose [Redo] from the [Edit] menu.

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.
If you use the “Recall” function in Studio Manager, all selected Editors in Studio Manager are synchro-
nized 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
window.
Some effect parameters in the console change their displayed values depending on the sampling fre-
quency. 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).
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 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 over-
written 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.)

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 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. 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 V3 Editor, you can also open files that have been saved on any version of M7CL console or Editor other than version 3 if the files feature the extension “.M7C” or “.YSE”. However, once you save these files on the M7CL V3 console or Editor, you will not be able to open them on the other version of M7CL console or Editor. NOTE If you use the M7CL-48ES console to open a session saved via the M7CL-32/48 console, or if you use the M7CL-32/48 console to open a session saved via the M7CL-48ES, the patch settings will change and the same HA settings will be used as follows: M7CL-32/48 M7CL-48ES INPUT 1-16 ↔(*) ES IN 1-16 INPUT 17-32 ↔(*) ES IN 17-32 INPUT 33-48 ↔(*) ES IN 33-48 ST IN 1L-4R ↔ OMNI IN 1-8 SLOT1 IN 1-16 ↔ SLOT1 IN 1-16 SLOT2 IN 1-16 ↔ SLOT2 IN 1-16 SLOT3 IN 1-16 ↔ SLOT3 IN 1-16 TALKBACK ↔ TALKBACK OMNI OUT 1-16 ↔ ES OUT 1-16 No assignment ↔ ES OUT 17-24 No assignment ↔ OMNI OUT 1-8 SLOT1 OUT 1-16 ↔ SLOT1 OUT 1-16 SLOT2 OUT 1-16 ↔ SLOT2 OUT 1-16 SLOT3 OUT 1-16 ↔ SLOT3 OUT 1-16 2TR DIGITAL OUT ↔ 2TR DIGITAL OUT (*) The same HA settings will be used. 7 M7CL V3 Editor Owner’s Manual Stage Box Data Conversion To open the Stage Box Data Conversion dialog box, click the [Stage Box Data Conversion] button in the System Setup dialog box.

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 Redo Choose [Undo] from the [Edit] menu. 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 • Stage Box Data Conversion 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. 10 M7CL V3 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. 11 M7CL V3 Editor Owner’s Manual 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: 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. 3 Click [OK]. Do not operate the console while synchronization is in progress. NOTE If you use the “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 Master 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. 12 M7CL V3 Editor Owner’s Manual Master window In the Master window you can synchronize to the M7CL itself, recall scenes, and display the Overview window. To open this window, choose [Master] from the [Windows] menu. ❏ CHANNEL SELECT This indicates the number and name of the channel to which your operations will apply. To switch channels, you can either click the [SELECT] button and choose from the list that appears, or you can click the left/right arrow-shaped channel select buttons. You can also use the channel name text box to edit the name. If the Channel Select / Sends On Fader checkbox in the System Setup dialog box is selected, this parameter is linked with the [SEL] keys on the M7CL console panel. You can right-click (<control> key + click) the icon to select a different one. ❏ SENDS ON FADER This button indicates whether normal mode or SENDS ON FADER mode is engaged. Click the button to switch modes. When SENDS ON FADER mode is engaged, the Sends On Fader window appears. (➥ p.78) If the Channel Select / Sends On Fader checkbox in the System Setup dialog box is selected, this parameter will be linked with the SEND ON FADER mode setting on the M7CL console. 13 M7CL V3 Editor Owner’s Manual ❏ SYNC This indicates the status of connection and synchronization between M7CL Editor and the M7CL. A [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE] button 12 The ONLINE/OFFLINE status will alternate each time you click this button. This has the same function as [Synchronization] menu ➔[Offline Edit]. (➥ p.12) This indicator is shown when M7CL Editor is correctly connected to the M7CL itself. In this state, the parameters of M7LC Editor and the M7CL itself are linked.
