The effects of selecting the different options are described below.
Option 1: Set Output Channel EQ and Dynamics to default values
Output parameters are often related to the particular amp/speaker system and room
combination and so are not often required to be part of the file conversion when the
engineer moves to a different console/amp/speaker system.
When this option is checked, Mix/Matrix/Stereo/Mono EQ and Dynamics parameters
won’t be converted, but they are conveniently restored to the default settings.
EQ libraries and the like are converted.
Send parameters (e.g. Input to Mix level/on-off, Input to Matrix level/on-off) which
belong to Input Channel parameters are out of this option’s scope and will always be
converted.
Option 2: Convert between M7CL Matrix1-8 and PM5D Mix17-24
PM5D and CL consoles both have a structure of 24 Mix buses, while M7CL has a 16
Mix bus structure. On M7CL, if additional Mix Sends are necessary, the eight Matrix
outs can be used to expand the number of Mix Sends.
When this option is checked, M7CL Matrix 1-8 are mapped and converted to PM5D or
CL Mix 17-24. M7CL can use its Matrix outs as more Mix Sends.
When this option is checked, M7CL Matrix1-8 is regarded as PM5D Mix17-24. This
option is convenient for users who operate M7CL as a 24 Mix console. Do not use this
option for the QL series (which does not have Mix17-24).
In the case of conversion from PM5D or CL to M7CL, PM5D’s or CL’s Input to Mix 17-
24 send parameters are converted to M7CL’s Input to Matrix parameters, and also
PM5D’s or CL’s Mix 17-24 parameters such as PEQ, Dynamics are converted to
M7CL’s Matrix channel modules. Stereo to Matrix and Mix to Matrix parameters
remains as default.
The same behavior is used for Input Channel libraries.
In the case of conversion from M7CL or CL to PM5D, parameters are converted vice
versa.

Option 3: Convert between ST IN and FX RTN
PM5D and M7CL do not have the same input channel count.
When this option is ticked, M7CL ST IN 1-4 is regarded as PM5D FX RTN 1-4. This
option is convenient for users who want to keep effect return levels in the Scenes.
In the case of conversion from PM5D to M7CL, PM5D’s FX RTN 1-4 parameters
(excluding Dynamics component) are converted to M7CL’s ST IN 1-4 parameters.
And also DCA group assignment for PM5D’s FX RTN 1-4 is re-assigned to M7CL’s
ST IN 1-4.
In the case of conversion from M7CL to PM5D, parameters are converted vice versa.
