About This App

QL Editor is Yamaha's control and configuration application for the QL and CL series professional digital mixing consoles. It allows audio engineers and live sound professionals to remotely monitor, edit, and manage console settings, routing, libraries, and firmware from a Mac. The app is used in live sound venues, broadcast facilities, and recording studios to manage complex console configurations and automate mixing tasks. It requires a compatible Yamaha QL or CL series console to function.

Yamaha's official support page explicitly states that QL Editor version 5.8.1 runs on Apple Silicon Macs with Rosetta 2. However, this phrasing indicates the app is Intel-only and relies on Rosetta 2 to run on M-series Macs — it is not a native Apple Silicon build. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), this Intel-only build will stop working on that release. Contact Yamaha support directly to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon version of QL Editor is in development. If Yamaha has no plans to ship a native build before September 2028, you should plan to either remain on an older macOS that still has Rosetta 2 support, or explore whether Yamaha intends to release a web-based or alternative remote-control interface for their consoles.
