2. Conversion procedure
2.1. Procedure overview
There are three steps to convert a console file.
Step1: Prepare the source file for desired result
Step2: Conversion with Console File Converter
Step3: Edit initialized parameters of the converted file
This section explains the conversion procedure step by step.
2.2. <Step1> Source file preparation
There are two options for preparing the source Console File*
(*Console File is a file format which can be saved/loaded by both console and Studio
Manager. Console models have their own file extension such as .pm5, .m7c, .ls9, .clf.)
- Save on console
Save the source data to Compact Flash card (PM5D) or USB flash drive
(M7CL, LS9, CL, QL, RIVAGE PM).
- Save on computer with Studio Manager or each Editor
Synchronise the console with Studio Manager, CL Editor, QL Editor or
RIVAGE Editor and save the data by “Save Session” function. Saved file type
should be Console File
(.pm5, .m7c, .ls9, .clf, .pm10all, .pm10part, .pm7all, .pm7part, .rivagepm), not
Editor File (.yse, .cle).
Important
- Scenes with a number higher than 300 in PM5D cannot be converted: first move them to
locations below 300. When converting from the RIVAGE PM to other models, scenes are
converted consecutively from number 1 up to 300.
- This converter can convert multiple Scenes from the Scene library. Please note that
conversions are executed under the assumption of sequential recall from the smallest
number in a conversion target range to the largest number, while considering “Recall
Filtering” (e.g. Recall Safe, Selective Recall/Focus) and library link functions (e.g. HA
library, In/Out Patch library).
- Many libraries include read-only presets, with the number varying by model. Conversion
cannot be performed if there is already a preset value in the conversion destination.
Therefore, move any required library entries in advance, to a number compatible with the
target console. For more information, refer to the “Library Conversion Table.3.1”
- You may need to re-arrange Recall Safe, Selective Recall/Focus, Current Scene and the
order of the source Scenes on the console, Studio Manager, or each Editor in advance.
Please refer to section “3.Reference” for further information.
- RIVAGE PM series data is compatible, file conversion is unnecessary.
