About This App

CL Editor is Yamaha's control and editing software for the CL series professional audio mixing consoles. It provides remote control and editing of console settings, routing, effects, mixing parameters, and library management from a Mac computer connected to a CL, QL, RIVAGE PM, R, or Tio series Yamaha console. The app is essential for live sound engineers, studio technicians, and touring professionals who need to configure and monitor their Yamaha mixing hardware from a computer interface. It supports firmware synchronisation and requires a compatible console firmware version to function properly.

CL Editor version 5.8.1 is being distributed by Yamaha explicitly for Intel Macs running under Rosetta 2 — the download page describes it as "(Intel/Apple silicon with Rosetta 2)", which confirms that no native Apple Silicon build has been released. Yamaha continues to ship updates (the latest version 5.8.1 was released in 2024), so the vendor is actively maintaining the software, but they have not yet provided a native arm64 build. Watch the Yamaha support page for an announcement of native Apple Silicon support before macOS 28 ships in September 2028, as the Intel-only build will stop launching at that point. Contact Yamaha's support team directly if this is a critical tool for your workflow — they may have a roadmap for native support or timelines you should know about.
