1. Introduction
1.1. Overview
This Console File Converter converts common parameters between different models. But
because of different specifications among the models, there are some parameters which
cannot be directly converted. These parameters are given a default setting or substitute
setting.
Here is the compatibility overview -
Parameters which are converted:
- Input channel parameters (e.g. HA (except for RIVAGE PM), Fader, On, EQ, Dynamics etc.)
- Output channel parameters (e.g. Fader, On, EQ, Dynamics etc.)
- Input channel names / Output channel names
- Effect parameters
This converter converts the above data from the libraries, Current scenes, and scenes in the
Scene list in the each library list. Data in the CL/QL Dante Input Patch library, and the PM5D
GEQ library is not converted.
Parameters which are not converted:
- Patch setting
- Monitor setting
- Wordclock, digital I/O setting
- MIDI / Remote Control setting
- Customisation setting (e.g. User Defined keys)
After conversion, parameters which are filled by their default value, and the global setup, may
need to be edited manually.
Please refer to compatibility details listed in section “3.Reference”.
