ASIO Setup
Regarding ASIO under Windows 2000.
The Yamaha ASIO driver for Windows 2000 is a 32bit driver. This represents the number of bits of audio data transmitted between the driver and an application program. It is recommended that you use this driver only in applications that use the same number of bits. Under Windows 2000 professional audio applications all support 24 and 32 bit recording depth. For 24-bit recording, the 32bit driver is fine.
Installation.
Please only install the ASIO driver if you are using software which supports the ASIO protocol, and only after correctly installing the Yamaha WDM Windows 2000 driver.
1. Click the [Asio Setup.exe] and follow the guide.
2. Launch your audio software which supports ASIO,
3. The Yamaha ASIO driver should appear in the ASIO device menu.
(4) Support Notes
This is a combined driver set which includes a low latency WDM driver for Windows 2000 and a 32bit ASIO driver, also for Windows 2000 ASIO supporting applications.. The WDM driver adds full functionality and support for the SW1000XG under Windows 2000. This driver fixes the MIDI in problem found in earlier beta drivers under Windows 2000. It fully supports ACPI MULTIPROC mode (multiprocessor support), low latency KS Mixer streaming (as found in Cakewalk SONAR), and all of the benefits that Sonar brings with KMIXER bypass. Latency for playback of Dxi (Cakewalk Music Software Direct X Musical Instruments) under SONAR is reported by Sonar as being sub 20ms.
Also included in this driver update are low latency ASIO 2.0 drivers for Windows 2000. These drivers are intended to support ASIO 2.0 based applications under Windows 2000 such as Steinberg Cubase VST (V5.0R2 or higher recommended), Steinberg Nuendo, and various other software synths and applications that have full Windows 2000 support for ASIO. The ASIO driver is 32bit mode only. ASIO is Steinberg music software's low latency Audio Streaming Input Output system. This driver under ASIO supports multiple devices (SW & DS2416 at the same time) with no device limitation caused by WDM (WDM will restrict the number of audio device ports seen to 10 maximum). Under ASIO and KS Mixer bypass applications (such as SONAR) this device limit (which is an inherent problem in Windows 2000) is bypassed. Please consult your software manual to see if your software supports KS MIXER mode (KMIXER bypass). Please consult your Windows 2000 user manual for any additional details on driver installation and update along with this read me file. Please also refer to your ASIO compatible software application manual for details on ASIO installation and support in Windows 2000. The ASIO driver supports adjustable buffer sizes, if you find that the driver is causing problems at the lowest latency setting, please adjust the buffer size accordingly to remedy this.
(5) Notes
This driver supports ASIO2.0 under Windows 2000. Some functions associated with ASIO 2.0 are not supported under this driver due to limitations of the Yamaha SW1000XG and DS2416 hardware. These are
Accurate positioning in sample steps, audio transfer, and Continuous Re-syncing (resolving)
-Direct monitor
*Notes for Installing
The new ASIO driver should be added after installing the WDM driver to the latest version which is included in this download file and rebooting.
2. "SW Synth" in the taskbar audio mixer indicates DirectMusic Software Synthesizer and is not MIDI device of SW1000XG.
BIG FIX: This driver corrects a problem with the earlier version sometimes dropping to a Blue Screen of Death under WIndows 2000.
