127 Question: Will the VST mixer send out sysex to the SW1000XGs hardware mixer then?

Answer: No, it runs to its own internal system, and consequently if used with the SW1000XG,

can negate some of the benefits gained by having a hardware mixer device. To mix the audio in

VST, the best way is to use the mixer maps provided by Yamaha, or make your own up. Using

sysex/MIDI ccs to control the volume/panning etc and just use the VST mixer for channel audio

eq if desired.VST4.0 has a more comprehensive approach.

128 Question: Will the SW1000XG work in the new VST24 version 4.0? (currently June 98 in

Beta)?

Answer: Yes (PC at first).

129 Question: Does this apply to Cakewalk 7.0 as well?

Answer: Yes, Yamaha have provided a fully comprehensive Studioware panel which controls

the SW1000XG at hardware level, so please use this (or possibly your own adaptation of this)

to control the audio levels.

130 Question: In applications like SAW and Cool edit pro, the internal mixers that they utilize

(with things such as volume envelopes etc) won’t be accessed via the SW1000XG as none of

them respond to sysex data. The same applies to ACID by Sonic foundry. So how can I

automate my mix with these apps?

Answer: Good one this. The best way is to use the SW mixer in XGEDIT, run the output of

this to the input of a basic sequencer or MIDI file player that is sync locked up to Cool Edit or

SAW. Placing the sequencer into record mode, record the mixes as MIDI events whilst the

audio is playing in cool edit or whatever app. This allows you to then fully automate your mix

without ever touching the audio or using CPU cycles for dynamic mixing. When you have your

final fully dynamic mix in place, you can then select another track in cool edit etc and record the

whole lot down as a stereo pair using the SW1000XG internal loopback system. A separate

stand alone app that could manage all of this would be ideal, and ideas along this tack have

been put forward for planning.

131 Question: What about audio profiler settings in Cakewalk?

Answer: Just run the hardware profiler in Cakewalk, and let it do its stuff on the multiple wave

outs of the card. The Wave Profiler in Cakewalk will test all six of the wave outs on the card and

then provide settings which it feels are best suited to your machine configuration.

132 Question: Can I assign the multiple wave outs to separate outputs in applications such as

Cool Edit Pro, and SAWPLUS?

Answer: Yes, This allows you to bypass the mixers in the applications and use the hardware

mixer on the SW1000XG if you so wish also. Please remember that an application that can

record MIDI also will enable you to automate your mixes. An example of this is the use of the

Cubase Mixer Map system, which can bypass the audio mixer in VST and control the

SW1000XG at a hardware (less CPU intensive) level.

133 Question: In the application ACID by Sonic Foundry, you can mix multiple tracks and use the

mixer functions and pan functions within this app; do the SW1000XG hardware mixer and

panning controls free up more power for the CPU to perform the other tasks that ACID is good

at?

Answer: Yes, you will need to run a sequencer alongside it though, or alternately, you could

harass the team at Sonic Foundry into building support for the SW1000XG into ACID, to free up

some CPU cycles (same goes for Cool Edit Pro and SAW).

134 Question: Is this true of all audio applications, will the hardware mixer and effects really free

up that much CPU?
