M7CL V3 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.

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

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

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).
