Chapter 1: Before you begin
This chapter prepares your system to use the Y56K card with your AW.
AW Operating System Requirements
The Y56K will operate only with a suitable AW firmware version. If your firmware version does not support
the Y56K, contact your local Yamaha dealer.
OPTION Slot 1 or Slot 2
The Y56K operates in either of the AW’s OPTION I/O slots with the following differences:
OPTION slot 1
A card installed in OPTION slot 1 accesses its screens/pages by pressing [Aux7]
→
[F5]. Once installed, the
Y56K’s effect chains are identified by the AW as the slot number (SL1) and the chain number.
Routing audio signals to and from the card’s effect chains is done through:
SL1-1 = effect chain 1
SL1-2 = effect chain 2
SL1-3 = effect chain 3
SL1-4 = effect chain 4
SL1-5 = effect chain 5
SL1-6 = effect chain 6
SL1-7 = effect chain 7
SL1-8 = effect chain 8
OPTION slot 2
A card installed in OPTION slot 2 accesses its screens/pages by pressing [Aux8]
→
[F5]. Once installed, the
Y56K’s effect chains are identified by the AW as the slot number (SL2) and the chain number.
Routing audio signals to and from the card’s effect chains is done through:
SL2-1 = effect chain 1
SL2-2 = effect chain 2
SL2-3 = effect chain 3
SL2-4 = effect chain 4
SL2-5 = effect chain 5
SL2-6 = effect chain 6
SL2-7 = effect chain 7
SL2-8 = effect chain 8
Installing the Y56K
The Y56K card is installed into either of the mini-YGDAI OPTION I/O slots (1 or 2) on the rear panel of
the AW.
