Introduction

M-400 RCS has two modes: Offline mode and Online mode.

Offline mode

In this mode you can edit an M-400 project file via USB memory. The advantage of

this mode is that you can edit mixer parameters and scene memories even when the

M-400 itself is not at hand.

Online mode

In this mode you can connect your computer to the M-400 via USB, and control the

M-400 remotely. Since M-400 RCS lets you use your mouse and keyboard to control

the M-400, you can operate it in a more intuitive manner. In addition, M-400 RCS can

show a separate screen that is different from the screen shown on the M-400 itself,

letting you view and edit more information simultaneously.
