Getting Started Overview of CL Editor CL Editor enables you to remotely control a Yamaha CL mixing console (such as CL5, CL3, or CL1; hereinafter collectively called “CL” in this document). CL Editor also enables you to save the parameter settings on your computer. Configuring CL Editor ❏ System Setup To open the System Setup dialog box, choose [System Setup] from the [File] menu. 1 Network Specify the IP Address of your CL console to communicate.
9 Set Default Press this button to use the settings (except for the IP Address in the Network section) currently specified in the System Setup dialog box as the default settings. The next time when you start up CL Editor, it will use these settings. ❏ Mixer Setup To open the Mixer Setup dialog box, choose [Mixer Setup] from the [File] menu. 1 Mix Bus Setup Here you can make settings relating to the MIX buses.
❏ Creating a user key To open the Create User Key dialog box, choose [Create User Key] from the [File] menu. This creates a user key (with “.CLU” file name extension) that can be read from a USB flash drive by the CL console to automatically set user-specific parameters. 1 3 5 2 4 6 7 8 9 0 A E F D C B 1 User Name Specify the name of the user. You can enter up to eight single-byte alphanumeric characters. 2 Comment Enter a comment for each user.
8 CH OPERATION INPUT, ST IN, MIX, MATRIX, ST/MONO, DCA: Select the channels whose parameters will be operable. HA: Change the operating privileges for the head amp gain (analog gain) and phantom power of the selected channels. PROCESSING: Change the operating privileges for overall signal processing parameters (except for fader and [ON] button) of the selected channel. For the specific parameters included in PROCESSING, refer to the CL’s manual.
Handling Files The following table describes how to handle files. Creating a new file Choose [New] from the [File] menu. Opening a previously saved file Choose [Open...] from the [File] menu. Saving the current file Choose [Save] from the [File] menu. Saving the current file with a new name Choose [Save As...] from the [File] menu.
