Doesn't look to bad, you may think. But that is just the sysex for the output assignments for normal MIDI parts,
imagine trying to do that for an entire drum kit with for example 40 instruments.
Also you then have to enter the sysex for the panning, volume, effects send levels, controllers for MIDI volumes.
Trust us. You should either use XGEDIT, or use the mixer maps for VST, Logic environment pages, it will save you
weeks of typing work.
For people still not deterred, the full list of sysex for every part, and the parameters mentioned above can be found in
the SW1000XG user manual, happy typing!
Common Pitfalls
Read the user manual for your DS2416 support software to make sure that it offers the option to set the SI input as
wordclock master, for if it doesn't you won't be able to hear the SW1000XG via the interconnect cable. Make sure
also that the cable is connected firmly between then 2 cards.
If you can grasp the concept of what is possible with the 2 cards, it really begins to hit home just what an incredibly
powerful system you have, with all that effects processing and MIDI power coming out of a perfectly synced 2-card
solution.
However, there are some points you need to be aware of.
The first is that your SW1000XG must be updated with the latest revision of its FLASHROM firmware, which as of
writing is version 1.04. Without this, if you apply an insertion type effect to any audio or MIDI part, which is configured
to an individual output, then you will not hear anything, the part will be muted. This is fixed in our firmware updater,
which is available to download for both PC and Mac from the xgfactory website.
Individual outputs, being pre effects send will not carry buss send effect information to the DS2416. You can use the
effects on the SUB1&2 parts (stereo out) and insert effects (being inserts) which will carry over to the DS2416.
Chorus, reverb and variation buss effects will not however be carried.
You can however use the effects of the DS2416 to add effect to the individual audio or MIDI parts from the
SW1000XG. Please refer to your DS2416 supporting software manual for details.
Wordclock when the 2 cards are linked is set to come from the SW1000XG (should you wish to hear it). If you want to
set the wordclock back to DS2416 or any other source you will lose sound from the SW. To get around this, a good
way to work would be to record your audio and MIDI parts as audio tracks using the individual inputs from the SI
connect. And then just working with the DS2416 whilst you record from your alternate clock source. Or you could
monitor from the physical outputs of the SW1000XG and DS2416 separately whilst recording from your alternate
clock source to the DS2416.
We do recommend that you get familiar with the DS2416 or SW1000XG first before trying the linkup, and once you
have a set-up with which you are entirely happy, save it in your sequencer or audio application. And register
XGEDIT, which will allow you to save mixer snapshots and set-ups for the linkup also. Yamaha using this method
can have the 2 cards talking together in under a minute every time.
