between a computer and the n8/n12 via IEEE1394 cables. Up
to three devices compatible with Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver
can be used simultaneously. Keep in mind that up to two
devices can be connected when the Sample Rate is set to

TOOLS for n Version2/Cubase AI 4 Installation Guide

If using mLAN Driver/mLAN Tools with Windows:
· If you are using mLAN Driver/mLAN Tools V1.6.2, update
them to V1.6.3 (or higher) before installing TOOLS for n
Version2. This is necessary because the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver cannot work properly with the mLAN
Driver/mLAN Tools V1.6.2 installed.
· When using Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver, make sure to
disable the mLAN Driver. If this is enabled (on), Yamaha
Steinberg FW Driver cannot work because the mLAN
Driver uses the IEEE1394 interface.
· When using the mLAN Driver, make sure to turn off any
devices compatible with Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver or
disconnect them from the computer before enabling the
mLAN driver.
· Note that you may not need to disable the mLAN driver
when the computer is equipped with multiple IEEE1394
interfaces and a device compatible with Yamaha Steinberg FW driver is connected to the different IEEE1394
interface from the other used by the mLAN driver.

4 ASIO Buffer Size (Windows only)

About window

Determines the buffer size for the ASIO driver.

5 Input Latency/Output Latency (Windows only)
Indicates the delay time for the audio input/output in millisecond units. Audio latency differs depending on the value of the
ASIO Buffer Size. The lower the value of the ASIO Buffer Size,
the lower the value of Audio Latency.

6 Audio Routing (Windows only)
Click this to call up the WDM Audio Routing window. From this
window, you can determine the input/output jack used for the
WDM Audio driver. In each section, the upper box selects the
device (only when two or three devices compatible with
Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver are connected in daisy-chain
fashion) and the lower box selects the input or output jacks.

· The device name of the WDM Audio driver is “Yamaha Steinberg FW
WDM Audio.” This parameter specifies which jacks accept the input
signals sent to a computer and to which jacks the output signals from
the computer are sent. The input channels are stereo channels. The
output channels are six consecutive channels from the stereo channels set in the output port setting.
· When using the Surround Monitoring, set “Monitor L/R” for the output
port setting.

7 Place Icon In the taskbar (Windows only)
When this checkmark is entered, the driver icon is indicated on
the Taskbar Notification area.

8 Reset Device Number
Clicking this resets the indication order of the devices on the
DAW software. For details, refer to page 16. This operation is
only effective when two or more devices compatible with
Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver are connected in daisy-chain
fashion.

n8/n12 window

This window indicates the version of the Yamaha Steinberg FW
Driver.
Word Clock
In a typical digital audio system, the signal referred to as
“word clock” is used to synchronize the process timing of
audio signals between multiple devices. If the word clock is
not transferred correctly, click noise may occur or recording
may not be successful. Normally, one device transmits a
reference word clock signal, and the other devices receive
this word clock signal and synchronize to it. The transmitting device is called the “word clock master” and the
receiving devices are called “word clock slaves”. Some
devices compatible with Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver can
function as the word clock slave. Select the word clock
source of the word clock signal in the Clock Source parameter.
Setting the audio driver buffer size
Noise produced when using applications such as DAW
software can affect audio recording and/or playback. In
most cases, you can solve these problems by adjusting the
audio buffer size (Audio Buffer Size). The buffer size can
usually be adjusted via the audio driver setup window in the
application. (When using ASIO compatible software for
Windows, the buffer size can be adjusted in the ASIO Buffer
Size parameter via the Control Panel of the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver.) While the higher buffer size reduces load
to the computer CPU but produces latency (time lag) during recording/playback, the smaller buffer size may result in
noise or the sound cutting off. Make sure to set the buffer
size to an appropriate value depending on the performance
of your computer, the number of audio/MIDI tracks being
recorded/played back on the DAW software, the number of
plug-in software, and so on.

1 Firmware Version
Indicates the firmware version of the IEEE1394. Clicking
[Check for Updates] will call up the website from which you
can download the latest firmware program.

2 Identify
Clicking this will cause the CUBASE READY indicator on the
currently controlled n8/n12 to flash. This operation lets you
confirm which device is actually controlled from a computer
when two or more devices are daisy-chain connected.

NOTE

Using multiple devices compatible with Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver

Using multiple devices compatible with Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver
Up to three devices compatible with Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver
can be used simultaneously. By connecting them in daisy-chain
fashion to a computer via IEEE1394 cables, you can upgrade your
music production system simply by adding other devices.

IEEE1394 terminal

When connecting two or three devices compatible with Yamaha
Steinberg FW Driver to a computer, the order of devices displayed
in the DAW (Cubase etc.) will be maintained even if the power is
turned off. The order of devices will be reproduced when turning
on the power of the connected devices. When the same two or
three devices are connected, a unique number (indicated at the
end of the device name) is automatically assigned to each of the
devices, in the order with which the devices are connected. The
number once assigned to a device will be maintained even if it is
disconnected or the power is turned off. If you want to reset the
order of devices displayed in DAW or the number assignment, follow the instructions below.

NOTE
· Keep in mind that up to two devices can be connected when the
Sample Rate is set to 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz. Even if you connect an
additional third device, the last recognized device (other than the
device specified as the Word Clock master) connected to the computer will not be available.
· Even if multiple IEEE1394 interfaces are installed on the computer,
make sure to daisy-chain connect all devices to the jacks of a single
interface. This is necessary since the computer can only recognize
devices connected to a specific, single IEEE1394 interface jack, and
cannot recognize devices connected to different jacks of different
IEEE1394 interfaces even though they are installed on the same
computer.

3. Activation of the Software
3.1. Steinberg may use a compulsory activation of the software and a compulsory product registration of the OEM software for license control to protect
the software against unlawful copying. If you do not accept the ter ms and
conditions of this Agreement, the software will not work.
3.2. In such a case the product including the software may only be returned
within 14 days following acquisition of the product. Upon return a claim
according to § 11 shall not apply.

4. Support, Upgrades and Updates after Product Registration
4.1. You can only receive support, upgrades and updates following the personal product registration. Support is provided only for the current version
and for the previous version during one year after publication of the new
version. Steinberg can modify and partly or completely adjust the extent
of the support (hotline, fora on the website etc.), upgrades and updates at
any time. In case of Trial Version Software, there exists no product registration or any support, upgrades or updates.

5. Licence module (Steinberg key and/or Soft eLicenser)
5.1. Steinberg uses a hardware device connected through the USB connection of a computer (hereinafter “Steinberg key”) and/or a protection
scheme (hereinafter “Soft eLicenser”) for license control (hardware and/or
software dongle) in the case of many products. The Steinberg key and/or
Soft eLicenser permanently saves the license information and regulates
access to the software. If a Steinberg key is required for the use of the
software, then the Steinberg key must be connected physically to the
computer through the USB interface.
5.2. For the activation of the software, updates or upgrades of the software the
computer which is connected to the Steinberg key and/or using the Soft
eLicenser or using the OEM software must be connected to the server of

Steinberg key, the license information was already transferred to the Steinberg key. If the product was delivered with a product card (without the
Steinberg key), the activation codes of the enclosed pr oduct card must
be entered manually by the user upon installation and the license infor mation must be exchanged with the server of SIA Syncrosoft.

License Agreement for Cubase AI 4

5.4. The reinstallation of the software - on the same or another computer - is
permitted only in case the already installed software cannot be used any
more (e.g. following deinstallation). If the software does not use a Steinberg key, but requires activation codes, the new activation codes may be
obtained from the user’s online account for support created during the
personal product registration. Further, the activation codes must be
entered manually by the user upon installation and the license infor mation
must be exchanged with the server of SIA Syncrosoft. Steinberg may
require for the provision of further activation codes e.g. your proof of purchase (invoice, receipt) and a signed assurance by fax or letter stating
your name, address and that the already installed software cannot be
used any more. Trial Version Software can be used on a computer also at
reinstallation only altogether 30 days.
5.5. You can also use another computer other than the one on which the software is to be installed for the activation and transfer of license data to the
Steinberg key, if the software is using a Steinberg key. However, in such a
case a corresponding access software (Syncrosoft License Control Center, “LCC”) must be installed on the computer connected to the Inter net,
which is subject to a separate licensing agreement.

6. Defect and loss of the Steinberg key
6.1. In the case of a defect or damage to the Steinberg key Steinberg or a
third party engaged by Steinberg will check the Steinberg key. In the case
of a legitimate claim the Steinberg key and the licenses included shall be
replaced in return for a handling fee. The licenses will only be replaced
provided that they are licenses issued by Steinberg. Further claims
against Steinberg are excluded.
6.2. Steinberg assumes no liability or obligation if the Steinberg key is mislaid
as a result of loss, theft or otherwise. Steinberg reserves the right to block
the licenses saved on the Steinberg key upon being notifi ed by the registered user of the loss. The licenses saved on the Steinberg key cannot be
replaced.

7. Modification of the software
7.1. A modification of the software is permitted only insofar as far as the software is capable of such modification in accordance with its intended
function. You may not decompile, disassembe, carr y out reverse engineering or try in another manner to determine the source code of the software, unless this is permitted by law. Furthermore, you must not modify
the binary code of the software to bypass in any manner the activation
function or the use of the license module (Steinberg key and/or Soft eLicenser).

8. No Unbundling
8.1. The software usually contains a variety of different files which in its configuration ensure the complete functionality of the software. The software
may be used as one product only. It is not required that you use or install
all components of the software. You must not arrange components of the
software in a new way and develop a modified version of the software or a
new product as a result. The configuration of the software may not be
modified for the purpose of distribution, assignment or resale.
8.2. You may also not sell the Steinberg key separately as a license; the usage
rights always remain with the software, in particular with the original software data carrier (e.g. CD).

9. Assignment of Rights
