TOOLS for n Version2 Update Guide
2
What is TOOLS for n Version2?
TOOLS for n Version2 consists of two software components: Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver and n Extension. Yamaha Steinberg
FW Driver enables audio/MIDI signals to be transferred between a computer and the n8/n12 via IEEE1394 cables. Using n Extension, you can link the n8/n12 with Cubase versions such as Cubase 5 and Cubase AI 5 that support the Link functions between
both of them. The TOOLS for n Version2 Installer installs these two software components.
Main Changes from TOOLS for n
• The driver included in this software has been changed from AI Driver to Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver.
• The structure of the installer for Extensions has been changed. This new version installs only Extension for n while the previous
version (Yamaha Extensions for Steinberg DAW) installed Extension for the multiple different models such as n and MOTIF XS
together. (For Windows, make sure to uninstall Extensions installed via the previous version before installing TOOLS for n
Version2.)
•Now supports Cubase 5 series.
•Now supports Windows Vista 64-bit, Windows 7, and Mac OS X 10.6.
Features of Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver
• Unlike the previous version, you need not to perform the on/off setting for the driver (Windows) or Connection Manager (for
Mac), resulting in smoother and quicker use.
•You can change the sample rate directly from DAW software such as Cubase.
• Basically, up to three devices compatible with the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver can be connected in daisy-chain fashion to a
computer. However, please note, that only up to two devices can be connected if their Sampling Rates are set to 88.2kHz/96kHz
or if you use the MOTIF XS series and MOTIF-RACK XS.
TOOLS for n Version2 requires the following software components.
n8/n12 firmware V1.03 or later
IEEE1394 firmware V1.07 or later
Sweet Spot Data Manager V2.0.0 or later
Cubase 4 series V4.5.2 or later
Nuendo 4 V4.2.2 or later
This Update Guide covers also the information about the instructions on updating these software components.
Important
After updating the n8/n12 firmware, the n8/n12 will not be able to be used with the n Driver, AI Driver or mLAN
Driver/mLAN Tools. Also keep in mind that the previous firmware version of the n8/n12 cannot be restored.
When installing TOOLS for n Version2 for the first time, download the following software components and relevant manuals from
Yamaha and Steinberg websites before starting the update procedure.
n8/n12 firmware Updater V1.03 or later
IEEE1394 firmware Updater V1.07 or later
Sweet Spot Data Manager V2.0.0 or later

NOTE
• If the included CD-ROM is "TOOLS for n Version2," you do not need to update the n8/n12 Firmware and the IEEE1394 Firmware. (The n8/
n12 will already have been updated to the required version of the firmware when you install TOOLS for n Version2.)
