LS9 Editor
LS9 Editor is a professional mixing console control application from Yamaha for the LS9 digital audio mixer. It provides remote editing and management of the LS9's mixing parameters, scenes, effects, routing and other settings from a Mac over a Network-MIDI connection. Audio engineers and live sound professionals use it to configure and control LS9 consoles in studios, live venues, and broadcast environments. The editor runs as a standalone application and requires the Yamaha Network-MIDI Driver to communicate with the connected LS9 hardware.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe latest version of LS9 Editor (V2.2.1) explicitly states support for "Intel/Apple silicon with Rosetta 2" — this means Yamaha is shipping it as an Intel-only build that runs under emulation on M-series Macs. There is no indication in Yamaha's documentation of a native Apple Silicon build. Since Yamaha continues to maintain this software and the current version still lists Rosetta 2 as the compatibility mechanism, the most prudent course is to contact Yamaha directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned or expected before Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If you currently rely on LS9 Editor on an M-series Mac, check with Yamaha's support team about their timeline. In the interim, the app will continue to work under Rosetta 2, but you should be aware of the September 2028 deadline when that compatibility layer is withdrawn.
