YAMAHA INTRODUCES O.N.E. SYSTEMS

(Yamaha | Posted 2004-02-15)

ANAHEIM, CA—Up until now, you only had two choices when trying to put together a computer-based recording studio. There was the choice to buy components from different manufacturers which you hoped would work well together and would easily configure into a viable system. The other was to buy a proprietary system that only worked with a single company’s software and hardware. The first choice left you wondering how to integrate all those different products, and the second left you wondering what happened to freedom of choice.

ý mLAN-based O.N.E. (Open Network Expansion) SYSTEMS change all that. mLAN is a Firewire™ computer networking protocol for MIDI and Audio that allows multiple channels of digital audio and multiple ports of MIDI to be transmitted and controlled via single Firewire cable. O.N.E. SYSTEMS are mLAN systems that allow the user to choose different software and hardware from over 43 companies with the assurance that it will all connect and function properly.

“By utilizing mLAN, O.N.E. SYSTEMS take the hassle out of configuring a computer music studio,” states Mike Martin, marketing manager, Digital Musical Instruments. “It’s the perfect solution when using products from multiple manufacturers, and it gives customers the freedom to expand their system with ease.”

Some O.N.E. SYSTEMS can be built from gear you already own by adding an mLAN expansion card to a product. For example, adding an mLAN card to a Yamaha Motif ES transforms it into an audio interface, a MIDI interface and hardware-accelerated DSP effects processor for your computer DAW. You can then connect a mic or a guitar to the Motif’s A/D inputs and record to your DAW software. In addition, the Motif’s insert effects can be used to process the signal; you can select up to 16 channels on the Motif ES to be simultaneously recorded directly to the DAW.

Larger O.N.E. SYSTEMS can include the Yamaha 01X mLAN mixing studio combined with products such as the Motif ES or the new i88X Audio and MIDI interface. When connected to the 01X, the i88X provides 16 mic/line A/D inputs, two high performance mic preamps, ADAT I/O, multi-port MIDI interfaces and 12 analog outputs, making it perfect for the most demanding recording projects.

O.N.E SYSTEMS can be seamlessly expanded using additional mLAN products from Yamaha as well as mLAN products from other manufacturers, including converters ýand preamps from Apogee, Tube Preamps from Presonus and effects processing from Kurzweil.

O.N.E. SYSTEMS provide comprehensive software support on Windows XP, Apple OS9.2 and OSX platforms. This includes full support for Cubase (SX/SL), Nuendo (version 1.61 and higher), Sonar (2.2 and higher), Logic (Platinum 5.3 and higher), Digital Performer (3.1 and higher), Yamaha SQ01 v2 and many other applications.
