Where Can I Get Studio Manager - Yamaha M7CL Quick Start Manual

M7CL Quick Start Guide Part 3
What is Studio Manager and M7CLV3 Editor for?
The combination of Studio Manager and M7CLV3 Editor gives you the software to create and edit .M7 fi les on your
personal computer (PC or Mac). These fi les hold all the parameter data for all the scenes in a setup and can be
transferred to a console using a USB key. Alternatively, by using the DME-N Network driver(PC) or Network MIDI
driver(Mac) and a Cat5 crossover cable connection, the Studio Manager and M7CL Editor can be used "online" for
remote control and monitoring of a M7CL console or direct exchange of data between the computer and console
memory.
It is not required to ever use Studio Manager with a M7CL; the console offers all its features without any external
computer devices, but Studio Manager adds very useful extra access. The preparation chores like naming channels,
patching I/O, setting effects units and parameters can all be done on your Personal Computer without the need
to access the console; while you are at home, on the bus, or even on a plane. Secondly Studio Manager offers an
alternative interface when connected to a M7CL, this gives a different view, an extra control interface for dual
operators and the possibility of remote or even wireless control using tablet type PCs.
