Introduction
About M-200i RCS
M-200i RCS is application software that runs on Windows or Mac . It lets you edit M-
200i project files, and remotely control the M-200i.

The contents of this document are written with the assumption that the user has all of the basic knowledge and skills required to operate a computer . Please read the owner’s manual of your computer if you have questions regarding basic operations.
Introduction
The two modes of M-200i RCS
M-200i RCS has two modes: Offline mode and Online mode.
Offline mode
In this mode you can edit an M-200i project file via USB memory. The advantage of this mode is that you can edit mixer parameters and scene memories even when the
M-200i itself is not at hand.

Edit within M-200iRCS
You can also create a new project file in M-200i RCS and load it into the M-200i.
Save the project file Load the project file
USB memory
Online mode
In this mode you can connect your computer to the M-200i via USB, and control the
M-200i remotely. Since M-200i RCS lets you use your mouse and keyboard to control the M-200i, you can operate it in a more intuitive manner. In addition, M-200i RCS can show a separate screen that is different from the screen shown on the M-200i itself, letting you view and edit more information simultaneously.
