Yamaha USB Audio Driver

Yamaha USB Audio Driver is designed for transfer of audio data between a Yamaha hardware product and a computer. This driver can be used with ASIO-compatible DAW applications such as Cubase AI 4 and multimedia applications such as Windows Media Player. In comparison to standard Windows audio drivers, this driver provides far greater reduction in delay time (latency) in playing the audio signals, making recording and mixing more seamless and efﬁcient. This driver supports two channels of audio, at 44.1/48 kHz and 16-bit resolution for both input and output.

Precautions when using the [USB TO HOST] terminal

When connecting the computer to the [USB TO HOST] terminal, make sure to observe the following points. Failing to do so risks freezing the computer and corrupting or losing the data. If the computer or the instrument freezes, restart the application software or the computer OS, or turn the power to the instrument off then on again.

CAUTION

• Use an AB type USB cable of less than about 3 meters.

• Before connecting the computer to the [USB TO HOST] terminal, exit from any power-saving mode of the computer (such as suspended, sleep, standby).

• Before turning on the power to the instrument, connect the computer to the [USB TO HOST] terminal.

•Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument on/off or plugging/unplugging the USB cable to/from the [USB TO HOST] terminal.

- Quit any open application software on the computer.

- Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted only by playing

notes on the keyboard or playing back a song.)

• While the computer is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six seconds or more between these operations: (1) when turning the power of the instrument off then on again, or (2) when alternately connecting/disconnecting the USB cable.
