This signal output applies not only to that of the OUTPUT 1/2 jacks (see Rear Panel), but also allows monitoring of other audio channels using the GO44 Control Panel. (See page 19.) B VOLUME control Adjusts the output level of the PHONES jack. Turn this control to the right to increase the level, and left to decrease it. Rear Panel 3 4 5 6 7 C DC IN jack Connects the AC power adaptor to this jack. D IEEE1394 (FireWire) port Connects the GO44 system to your computer using the included IEEE1394 (FireWire) cable. E MIDI / DIGITAL jack For connection of the included I/O cable (page 14), allowing input/output of digital audio and MIDI data. 13  Connectors and controls F INPUT 1/2 jacks The GO44 System features two high-quality analog mono inputs. The connections have been designed for balanced/unbalanced phone 1/4" jacks. The input levels for these jacks can be selected from three different gain settings, HIGH, MID, and LOW. Refer to page 19 for details on how to make these settings. G OUTPUT 1/2 jacks The connections have been designed for balanced/unbalanced phone 1/4" jacks for main output. You can connect mixers, powered speakers, or amplifiers. The analog outputs operate with instrument-compatible levels of 2.0 Vrms. I/O cable 8 9 J K H MIDI IN jack Connects MIDI devices such as MIDI keyboards and DAW controllers. For connecting MIDI devices, connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the MIDI device to this jack using a MIDI cable. I MIDI OUT jack Connects to MIDI devices such as synthesizers and tone generators. For connecting MIDI devices, connect the MIDI IN terminal of the MIDI device to this jack using a MIDI cable. This can also be used as a MIDI Thru terminal, for MIDI sequence software that allows routing of incoming MIDI data through the OUT jack, using a Thru (or MIDI Echo) function. J DIGITAL IN jack This coaxial type digital audio jack is for the digital input of audio signals. The interface can receive sample rates of up to 24-bit/96 kHz. The input signal can be adjusted in the Digital Mixer of the GO44 Control Panel. (See page 19.) 14  Connectors and controls When recording from a digital source, make sure that the sampling rates of both devices (e.g. DAT recorder and laptop) are synchronized. The S/PDIF protocol contains a signal called wordclock for this purpose. If the Master Clock switch is set to “EXTERNAL” in the GO44 Control panel, the GO44 will automatically synchronize to it and the “DIGITAL IN” channel will be available in the mixer. ASIO applications such as Cubase often have an option to switch the hardware from an internal to an external (sometimes also called S/PDIF) clock source. This changeover currently has no effect on the GO44. NOTE Make sure to use RCA pin cables specially made for digital audio applications. K DIGITAL OUT jack This digital audio jack is for the digital output of audio signals. The interface can transmit sample rates of up to 24-bit/96 kHz. For playback, set the routing in the Control Panel to the digital output. AC3 and DTS can also be played back via the digital output. Select “NON AUDIO” for the digital output in the Control Panel under “ROUTING”. (See page 20.) The non-audio signals are not sent to the analog outputs. 15  Drivers Windows drivers The GO44 audio interface features two kinds of audio drivers that support a variety of applications. The audio drivers support all bit rates between 8 and 24 bits with all common sample rates between 32 and 192 kHz. (Supports digital I/O up to 96 kHz) MME driver The Windows MME driver is a multi-channel driver that supports all channels of the GO44. The specific routing options for these drivers can be found in the GO44 Control Panel. In most Windows programs, you will encounter MME drivers with the designation “GO44(GO44 (1)) In 1” for input channel and “GO44(GO44 (1)) MC Out” for output channel. ASIO driver ASIO (Audio Streaming Input Output) is an audio transfer protocol developed by Steinberg. The advantage of the ASIO driver is the extremely low audio recording and playback delay times, also known as latency. Values of around 5 ms on fast, cleanly configured systems — at sample rates exceeding 96 kHz — are quite realistic. The format also supports sound cards with multiple inputs and outputs — so-called multi-I/O cards, as well as direct monitoring and multi-client mode (ASIO 2.0 or later). In the programs that make use of Steinberg’s ASIO interface, the ASIO driver for the GO44 is listed as “ASIO GO4x.” Cubase LE 16  Drivers For Cubase, the inputs are called “Line 1/2 left GO44”, “SPDIF left GO44”, etc. Also, the outputs (generally called “busses” or “channels”) available in the individual programs are generally called “Multichannel 1 GO44”, “SPDIF/AC3 left GO44”, etc. Cubase LE MIDI driver This driver is for using the GO44 MIDI IN and MIDI OUT ports. The driver is designated as “GO44(GO44 (1)) Midi In 1” (MIDI input) and “GO44(GO44 (1)) Midi Out 1” (MIDI output). NOTE MIDI files, which can be played back using Windows’ media players, are also to be transferred to externally connected devices such as synthesizers and tone generators. Open the “Sounds and Audio Devices Properties” window from the Windows Control Panel, go to “Audio” and set the “MIDI music playback” device to the driver mentioned above. 17  Drivers Mac OS X drivers In Mac OS X, the GO44 system is supported completely by Apple CoreAudio and CoreMIDI. Device-specific drivers are not required. If you would like to use the GO44 for the default system sound output, select the GO44 audio driver in [System Preferences] → [Sound] → [Output]. The CoreAudio/MIDI driver can also be selected in DAW applications such as Cubase. Buffer sizes generally can also be configured there to accelerate access to the audio system. Cubase LE 18  GO44 Control Panel The GO44 Control Panel is quite intuitive and should not present beginners with major problems. Here, depending on the requirements of each situation, you can have total control of the audio interface, reduce levels, route inputs to any output or set the Master Clock values. NOTE The functions and the positions of the control elements are generally identical between the two platforms, Windows and Mac OS. The following example illustrations have been taken from the Windows version of the Control Panel. MAIN display In the MAIN display, you can control the digital mixer of the GO44, set sample rates, route any input to any output, etc. NOTE If you are working with common DAW applications, you should also use the DAW for level control. The advantage for doing this is that the settings are usually saved together with your project (song, arrangement etc.) ANALOG IN / DIGITAL IN Here you can control the levels of analog input channels in the ANALOG IN column and digital input channels in the DIGITAL IN column. Use the faders to control the levels of corresponding channels. The [MUTE] buttons can be used to mute the individual channels. In the ANALOG IN column, you can set the gain levels of the INPUT 1/2 jacks. Click the pulldown menu at the top of the ANALOG IN column and select from among the settings “LOW”, “MID”, and “HIGH” for the input channels. Select “HIGH” to connect low-level equipment such as microphones, and “LOW” to connect high, line-level equipment such as keyboards. A separate fader is available for each mono channel. The individual channels can be joined using the switchable stereo link function. To turn on/off the stereo link function, click the [PAIR] button. While the stereo link function is active, faders and mute operations are linked. DIGITAL IN is grayed out until a signal is applied to the digital input and the MASTER CLOCK (page 20) is set to [EXTERNAL]. 19  GO44 Control Panel DAW IN 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 Here you can adjust the levels of the output signals sent from DAW applications. As with the ANALOG IN / DIGITAL IN, a separate fader is available for each mono channel. The individual channels can be joined using the switchable stereo link function (the [PAIR] button). While the stereo link function is active, faders and mute operations are linked. To send the mixed signal, [DIGITAL MIXER] must be assigned in the ROUTING section. If [DIGITAL MIXER] is not assigned for any outputs, the operation of the digital mixer is ignored. MASTER The overall playback level of the digital mixer can be set with the Master control. In Windows, faders and mute operations can be linked using the stereo link function. MASTER CLOCK This controls the sample rate used by the GO44. When digital inputs are not used, click the [INTERNAL] button and choose from all commonly used sample rates from 32 to 192 kHz from the pull-down menu. When external devices such as DAT recorders are connected, click the [EXTERNAL] button. The external sample rate is displayed in the box next to the [EXTERNAL] button. If no signal is available or the connection has been interrupted, the message “--------” will be returned. NOTE • When a sample rate of 192kHz is selected, only the ANALOG IN (for audio inputs) and DAW IN 1/2 (for audio outputs) columns are available. • When a sample rate of 192kHz is selected, avoid using MIDI inputs and outputs since this may cause some noise and glitches in the sound. ROUTING Selects the output signal sent from the OUTPUT 1/2, PHONES, and DIGITAL OUT jacks. All input signals (DAW IN 1/2, DAW IN 3/4, DAW IN 5/6, ANALOG IN, DIGITAL IN, and DIGITAL MIXER) can be routed to the three output pairs*. Click the three buttons on the left-hand side to open a pull-down menu from which you can select the desired pair. If you intend to use the digital mixer, [DIGITAL MIXER] must also be selected on the input side, otherwise the signal will be sent straight to the output, bypassing the faders. * For the DIGITAL OUT jack, you can select “NON AUDIO” (as shown above). In this case, AC3 and DTS data will be transmitted only via the digital output. SETTINGS Calls up the ASIO control panel (for ASIO driver settings), the SCENES panel for saving the GO44 Control Panel settings, and the ABOUT display for system related information. 20  GO44 Control Panel The ASIO control panel (Windows only) Selects a latency value (delay in playing the audio signals) when using the ASIO driver. To open the ASIO panel, click the [ASIO] button in the SETTINGS column of the MAIN display. If the value is too low (and the sample rate too high), this will negatively affect the performance of your overall system, introducing noise and dropouts. A more powerful computer will support a lower latency setting. With a fast system, you should achieve values of less than 5ms at 96kHz. If problems occur, increase the latency as needed. Further options are generally available on the relevant panels of ASIO applications such as Cubase, etc. The SCENES panel Saves/calls up scenes. A scene is a file in which the Control Panel settings are saved (except settings in the MASTER CLOCK column; page 20). Save the scene and call up the file, and the settings can be reloaded whenever necessary. To open the SCENES panel in Windows, click the [SCENES] button in the SETTINGS column of the MAIN display; on the Macintosh, select [File] → [SCENES] from the GO44 menu. To save a scene, input a name for the scene in the box located to the left of the [SAVE] button and click the [SAVE] button.

If there is no terminal, install an IEEE 1394 interface card (PCI or PCMCIA). Macintosh OS Mac OS X 10.3.3 or later CPU G4 450MHz or higher Available Memory 256MB or more (512MB or more recommended) Hard Disk 1GB or more HALion SE/Groove Agent SE Windows OS Mac OS X 10.3.4 or later CPU G4 800MHz or higher (G5 1.8GHz or higher recommended) Available Memory Macintosh 256MB or more (512MB or more recommended) OS Windows XP Professional/Home Edition CPU Pentium III 800MHz or higher (Pentium 4 2.8GHz or higher recommended) Available Memory 384MB or more (512MB or more recommended) Hard Disk 512MB or more Macintosh 24 OS Mac OS X 10.3 or later CPU G4 867MHz or higher (G5 Dual 1.8GHz or higher recommended) Available Memory 384MB or more (512MB or more recommended) Hard Disk 512MB or more  Troubleshooting ■ The GO44 won’t turn on. Is the supplied power adaptor properly plugged into both the GO44 and an appropriate AC wall outlet? If you are using a 4–pin/6–pin IEEE1394 (FireWire) adaptor to connect the GO44 to the computer with a 4–pin type IEEE1394 (FireWire) port, use the included AC power adaptor. (See page 7.) • • ■ The system doesn’t work properly. Are you using an IEEE1394 (FireWire) Repeater? IEEE1394 (FireWire) Repeater hubs can interfere with proper operation, so try connecting the GO44 directly to an IEEE1394 (FireWire) port on the computer. If the computer has multiple IEEE1394 (FireWire) ports, try a different port. If you are using other IEEE1394 (FireWire) devices at the same time, try removing the other device(s) and connecting only the Yamaha IEEE1394 (FireWire) device. Does your computer satisfy the system requirements? (See page 24.) (For Windows) Install the driver again. • • • • ■ (For Windows) Cannot install the driver. Does your computer satisfy the system requirements? (See page 24.) Install the driver again. • • ■ (For Windows) The “Found New Hardware Wizard” window is displayed. Is the driver installed? (See page 8.) Cancel the Wizard and install the driver again. • • ■ No sound or very low volume level Are speakers or headphones connected correctly? Is your amp and other external devices turned on? Is the signal from the external device being input? Are all the level settings (of any tone generators, audio devices, application software, computer operating system, etc.) appropriate? Are the output channels muted in the OS (computer) or the GO44 Control Panel? The connection cable from the external device may be broken. Is the wordclock setting correct for both the GO44 and the external device(s)? (See page 20.) Is the output jack for the audio data assigned in the DAW software (Cubase LE, etc.)? For details, refer to the respective owner’s manual. Try disconnecting the IEEE1394 (FireWire) cable and after a while connect it again. • • • • • • • • • ■ Distorted sound Does your computer satisfy the system requirements? (See page 24.) Is the gain level set correctly in the GO44 Control Panel? (See page 19.) The connection cable from the external device may be broken. Is the wordclock setting correct for both the GO44 and the external device(s)? (See page 20.) Make sure audio data was recorded at an appropriate level. • • • • • 25  Troubleshooting ■ Noise is audible. (For Windows) Is the latency setting of the ASIO Driver appropriate? (See page 21.) (For Windows) When using Cubase LE with a computer which the Hyper Threading is on, set as follows on Cubase LE. Select [Devices] → [Device Setup] → [VST Multitrack] → [Expert] and check the box to the left of “Multi Processing” and click [OK]. (For Windows) Setting Hyper Threading to off in the BIOS settings may solve the problem. Is the wordclock setting correct for both the GO44 and the external device(s)? (See page 20.) If the speed of your computer’s hard disk is slow, problems may occur during recording and playback. If you connect/disconnect the LAN, USB or the cables to the mini jacks terminals you are using while recording/playback, some noise may be caused and/or data may be cut off. Make sure that you do not insert or unplug any connections while recording/playback. Is the sample rate (wordclock) appropriate? A high sample rate can be the cause of the noise depending on the computer capacity and speed. (See page 20.) Use of MIDI inputs and outputs when the sample rate is set to 192kHz may cause some noise and glitches in the sound. Do not use MIDI inputs and outputs when the sample rate is set to 192 kHz. Try disconnecting the IEEE1394 (FireWire) cable and after a while connect it again. • • • • • • • • • ■ Cannot resume or suspend the computer correctly. To protect the data you are working on, the computer prevents resuming or suspending the computer while the DAW applications/ sequencer software is active. Close the application to resume or suspend your computer. • 26  GO46WIN INSTALL_pdfE.book Page 28 Monday, February 6, 2006 2:20 PM For details of products, please contact your nearest Yamaha representative or the authorized distributor listed below.
