CL Editor Now Available

Looking to find out more about the new CL Series functions & features? Here's your chance, we've just released the brand new standalone CL Editor for Windows & Mac.

The CL Editor doesn't require the StudioManagerV2 Host to run and instead operates as it's own host.  Just open up the CL Editor and you're ready to start programing the CL for your next gig.  There's also no longer a need for the DME-N Network Driver when syncing a CL console with your computer.  All console network information is input directly into the CL Editor via the "System Setup" option in the File menu.

There are lots of new features built into the CL Series so be sure to download your own copy of CL Editor to check some of them out.  I am personally quite fond of the new Premium Rack complete with dynamics processing from Rupert Neve.  Your own copy of CL Editor can be downloaded for free from our website by following the link below.

If you have any questions regarding the CL Editor or CL Series feel free to give us a call at: 866-211-9366 and we'd be glad to help you out.

Assignable Encoder

CL series has an Assignable Encoder on each channel. Gain and Pan are default functions for it. And you may assign one parameter to the third function.

As a default, "Selected Send" is assigned. Your last selected Sends On Fader destination will be automatically assigned to the knob.

Touch and Turn (User Defined Knob)

We put four knobs next to the LCD. You may assign different functions to them --

Lamp dimmer, EQ/Comp parameter, Send level, and most of other functions can be controlled by a knob.

One of a new function for it is "Touch and Turn".
You may find a pink circle in LCD screen. When you touch a knob icon in the screen, the pink circle moves to it and a User Defined Knob assigned to "Touch and Turn" can control its value.
This will allow you to maximize convenience of touch screen operation.
User Defined Knob D is assigned to the function as a default. Please try.
