one is (and it’s very good) the hardware one on our card is 100% faster at least on any

machine.

164 Question: And what about audio polyphony and other settings in Cakewalk pro audio?

Answer: Set audio polyphony to however many tracks you think your system can cope with.

The SW1000XG supports 12 channel hardware level mixing with as many tracks as your

system can provide through them.

165 Question: Can I use the Yamaha SYXG50 softsynth as well along side the SW1000XG?

Answer: Yes, but bear in mind that the SYXG50 softsynth has a 500ms latency, and uses

CPU power.

166 Question: Does XGEDIT support the SW1000XG?

Answer: Yes in build 2.6.

167 Question: What if I accidentally (ha) erase my flash ROM?

Answer: The flash ROM update/installer and applications (which must be run from DOS BOX)

will be made available on the Yamaha web site at http://www.yamaha.co.uk/XG.

168 Question: If I am using the SW1000XG and the DS2416 together, will there be a common

control surface in my application software such as VST?

Answer: VST and Cakewalk Pro audio (to name but two) have specific low level support for

the DS2416 which does not run with the SW1000XG. The SW1000XG needs no specific

application support, however control panels and maps are free to download for all of these

apps, and will run happily along side the existing control surfaces built into Cakewalk etc.

169 Question: VST 4.0 has XG support in its MIDI mixer. Will this work with the SW1000XG?

Answer: Yes, and will lessen the load on mixer maps.

170 Question: Can I run the Eq in VST in conjunction with the EQ on the Yamaha card, and will

the VST eq control the Yamaha SW1000XG?

Answer: Yes, you can run the two (software VST and hardware SW1000XG) eq’s at the same

time. The DSP Factory is supported by the VST EQ, (a special version of VST/update is

needed for this) the SW1000XG is not as the multi-band eq found on the audio channels of the

DSP Factory is one of its advantages over the SW1000XG.

171 Question: How can I test my XG files in Windows?

Answer: Media player is one solution although its MIDI playback spec is not exactly that good

!. Yamaha recommend an application such as Xgworks demo or XGEDIT demo which both

handle XG very well and should give an indication of how a correct XG file should sound.

Remember that well programmed XG files will adhere fully to the specifications set down by

Yamaha , and that Yamaha cannot recommend files not supplied directly by this site or by an

authorized Yamaha stockist. Although there are many good third party programmers out on the

net.

172 Question: Why does the DSP Factory require specific software support for its functions,

whereas the SW1000XG does not?

Answer: The DSP factory is communicated with at API level. It has no functional (as such)

MIDI implementation. The low level drivers and hardware on board the card are talked to via the

specific modes made to the apps concerned. The SW1000XG has a full MIDI spec, and can be

communicated with via sysex or controller/nrpn information. This makes it very easy using

applications such as MIDI-OX to determine what the card or applications editors such as

XGEDIT are sending out, and to make up your own mixer maps/Studioware panels etc to

control every function on the card.
