The Offline Editor (often referred to as the "S31 Software" running in Offline Mode) is a free, standalone application for Windows and Mac that allows you to build show files, edit parameters, and train muscle memory without connecting to the physical console.

1. What is the S31 Offline Editor? It is not a separate "lite" version. It is the exact same software that runs on the console’s internal computer, but configured to simulate the hardware. This means:

Bit-for-bit compatibility: Show files transfer seamlessly between the editor and the desk. Full processing: All channels, busses, matrices, FX racks, and control groups are available. Offline workflow: Design complex shows (theater, broadcast, live music) from your laptop.

Use mouse wheel. | | Rotary encoders | Click and drag up/down or use mouse wheel. | | Channel Select buttons | Click to select a channel. | | Master section buttons | Click to access routing, assign, and settings. | Key Differences to Accept: What is the S31 Offline Editor
