Synchronizing Studio Manager
When Studio Manager starts up, the parameter settings on the console and the parameter settings
in Studio Manager may be different. Therefore, you must first match the parameter settings on the
console with those in Studio Manager. This operation is called “synchronization.” Follow the steps
below to synchronize Studio Manager.
1 Select [Synchronize], then [Total Recall...] in the host window.
The following window opens.
2 Select whether you want to transfer your settings to Studio Manager, or vice versa.
To Hardware:
Transfers the settings of the current Studio Manager Session to your console.
From Hardware: Transfers the settings of your console to the current Studio Manager Session.
3 Click [OK].
Offline Edit Function
If you do not want to synchronize your console with Studio Manager, select [Offline Edit] from the
[Synchronization] menu of each editor. To apply your off-line edits to your console, synchronize
the console with Studio Manager by selecting the To Hardware option.
The Offline Edit function is also activated when you click the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE] button in the
Master window.
Do not operate the console while synchronization is in progress.
Note:
•You can synchronize the system for each Editor by choosing [Re-synchronize] from the [Syn-
chronization] menu of each Editor. At this time, the All Lib option determines whether or not
Scene and Library data is synchronized. If you synchronize the system from the host window,
Scene and Library data will always be synchronized.
•To protect any communication ports that are used with Studio Manager, synchronizing Studio
Manager by selecting the To Hardware option does not affect any communication settings on
the console (such as the MIDI, Remote Layers, and Machine Control settings).

Using SM Windows
Working with Sessions
All of your Yamaha mixing console’s mix settings in Studio Manager, including Scene and library
data, are called Sessions. The following table describes how to handle Sessions.
If you save a Session in the host window, all selected Editor settings are saved in a file with a file
extension of “.YSM.”
If you save a Session in an Editor, only that Editor’s settings are saved in a file.
The Editor’s settings are saved in either the Studio Manager V2 format (file extension “.YSE”) or a
format that is compatible with earlier versions of Studio Manager (file extension varies depending
on the console you are using).
Note that earlier versions of Studio Manager cannot open a Session saved in the “.YSE” format.
Undo/Redo Function
In Studio Manager, 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 perform an Undo operation three times in a row, you can can-
cel 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 success-
fully undo or redo any previous operation:
•Closing Studio Manager
•Changing Surround mode (Stereo/3-1/5.1/6.1)
•Changing Pair mode (Horizontal/vertical)
•Synchronizing the console with Studio Manager
•Creating a new Session
•Saving a Session
•Copying and pasting a channel

•Turning on or off the GATE: [LINK] button in the Selected Channel window
•Turning on or off the COMPRESSOR: [LINK] button in the Selected Channel window
•Turning on or off the [LINK] button in the Surround Editor window

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.
Note: In order to save the current Automix, or the settings of an optional Y56K card, in a Session, you
must first resynchronize Studio Manager by selecting the From Hardware option.
Note:
•If you try to create a new session in the host window or open a saved session, a message asking
whether or not you want to save the currently-open session appears. Click [Yes] to save the current
session and open the new or saved session. Click [No] to open the new or saved session without
saving the current session. Click [Cancel] to cancel the operation.
•Studio Manager may be unable to open some files stored in SmartMedia. In this case, copy those
files onto a hard disk, then try to open them in Studio Manager.
