Software Installation
12 Getting Started
Software Installation
To use the MR816 CSX/MR816 X, you must first install the software on the computer. This section explains the software installa-
tion. Install Cubase AI 4 before you install TOOLS for MR.
NOTE
· If you have already installed a version of Cubase (page 21) compatible with the Link function, such as Cubase 4.5, the instructions for
“Installing Cubase AI 4” are not necessary. Jump to the next section “Installing TOOLS for MR.”
Installing Cubase AI 4
IMPORTANT
• Before breaking the seal of the Cubase AI 4 DVD-ROM
package, please read carefully the Steinberg Software End
User License Agreement (EULA) on page 27 of this man-
ual. By opening the disk package, you indicate your agree-
ment with the use terms of the software and concurrence
with the Software End User License Agreement.
1 Start the computer and log on to the Administra-
tor account.
2 Insert the Cubase AI 4 DVD-ROM into the DVD-
ROM drive.
3 For Windows, open the “Cubase AI4 for Win-
dows” folder and double-click on the
“CubaseAI4.msi” file. For Macintosh, open the
“Cubase AI4 for MacOS X” folder and double-
click on the “CubaseAI4.mpkg” file.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install Cubase
AI 4.
NOTE
· In order to have continuous use of Cubase AI 4, including sup-
port and other benefits, you will need to register the software
and to activate your software license by starting it while the
computer is connected to the Internet. Click the “Register Now”
button shown when the software is started, then fill in all
required fields for registration. If you do not register the soft-
ware, you will be unable to use it after a limited period of time
expires.
Installing TOOLS for MR
CAUTION
•Keep in mind that noise may be generated when installing
or uninstalling the TOOLS for MR. Before performing either
of these operations, make sure to lower the output level of
each device.
TOOLS for MR consists of three software components:
Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver, Steinberg MR Editor and
Steinberg MR Extension. Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver
enables audio signals to be transferred between a com-
puter and the MR816 CSX/MR816 X via IEEE1394 cables.
Steinberg MR Editor enables you to perform all settings
on the MR816 CSX/MR816 X (including basic parameters
and system-related parameters), allowing you to remotely
control the MR816 CSX/MR816 X from the computer and
save parameter settings for the MR816 CSX/MR816 X as
a file. Steinberg MR Extension enables you to use the Link
function between the MR816 CSX/MR816 X and versions
of Cubase (page 21) that are compatible with this func-
tion, such as Cubase 4.5/Cubase AI4.5. The TOOLS for
MR Installer installs these three software components.
NOTE
· Make sure to install a version of Cubase (page 21) compatible
with the Link function, such as Cubase 4.5/Cubase AI 4.5,
before installing Steinberg MR Extension. Project templates for
the MR816 CSX/MR816 X will be installed in the Cubase instal-
lation destination.
If using a Windows installed Yamaha n Driver,
Yamaha AI Driver, or mLAN Driver/mLAN Tools:
· Before turning on the power of the MR816 CSX/
MR816 X connected to the computer, disable these
drivers. If these drivers are enabled (on), they may
use the IEEE1394 interface (used for connecting the
MR816 CSX/MR816 X) and cause the computer to
be unable to recognize the MR816 CSX/MR816 X.
Note that you may not need to disable these drivers
when the computer is equipped with multiple
IEEE1394 interfaces and the MR816 CSX/MR816 X
is connected to a device different from that used by
these drivers.
· If you’re using V1.6.0 to 1.6.2 of these drivers,
update them to V1.6.3 (or higher) beforehand. This
is necessary since the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver
cannot work together with drivers of versions 1.6.0 to
1.6.2.
