Open stage·left and build your stage plot. Add instruments, assign channel names, set colors. The input list auto-generates from your stage layout.
Go to Files tab, tap Export Console File, and select your specific Yamaha model (CL1, CL3, CL5, QL1, QL5, etc.). Download the CSV file.
Copy the CSV to a FAT32 USB drive and import on the console via Scene → Import. Or open CL/QL Editor, import the CSV, and push the scene to the console over the network.
Channel names populate on the touchscreen and scribble strips. Colors map to the Yamaha palette automatically. No manual entry.
The Yamaha CL and QL series natively support Unicode text on their touchscreens and scribble strips. stage·left preserves Unicode characters in the CSV export, so channel names in any language work correctly without any encoding issues.
Channel names in any language
Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and all other Unicode characters render natively on Yamaha consoles.
stage·left automatically maps instrument categories to the Yamaha color palette. The Yamaha palette differs slightly from other consoles. stage·left picks the closest available color for each instrument category, prioritizing readability on the touchscreen. Drums get warm colors, vocals get cool colors, DI inputs get neutral tones.
When you import a Yamaha CSV, the original color assignments are preserved and displayed in stage·left. When you export, colors are mapped back to the nearest Yamaha palette entry.
Build your stage plot, export a CSV, and load it on your Yamaha.
