Power Supply

The GO44 does not have a power switch. The power is automatically turned on when the AC power adaptor is connected. The GO44 can also be powered via the 6pin/6pin IEEE1394 (FireWire) port, making an AC power adaptor unnecessary. However, not all IEEE1394 (FireWire) controllers deliver a constant operating voltage therefore, we recommend using the included AC power adaptor. The AC power adaptor is also useful whenever you would like to conserve the battery power of your laptop. The AC power adaptor is required if your computer only features a 4pin IEEE1394 (FireWire) port.

Software Installation Windows users
Please perform the following steps in the given order. Do not connect the GO44 module to the computer until instructed to do so.
Compatible operating systems
The GO44 can be used only under Windows XP (Home/Professional editions) SP (Service Pack) 1 and SP2. Other Windows versions are not supported.

Since the GO44 is a professional audio interface, the levels can only be adjusted using the included GO44 Control Panel. The Windows mixer is disabled to prevent it from adversely affecting the signal quality.

I/O cable

H MIDI IN jack
Connects MIDI devices such as MIDI keyboards and DAW controllers. For connecting MIDI devices, connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the MIDI device to this jack using a MIDI cable. I MIDI OUT jack Connects to MIDI devices such as synthesizers and tone generators. For connecting MIDI devices, connect the MIDI IN terminal of the MIDI device to this jack using a MIDI cable. This can also be used as a MIDI Thru terminal, for MIDI sequence software that allows routing of incoming MIDI data through the OUT jack, using a Thru (or MIDI Echo) function. J DIGITAL IN jack This coaxial type digital audio jack is for the digital input of audio signals. The interface can receive sample rates of up to 24-bit/96 kHz. The input signal can be adjusted in the Digital Mixer of the GO44 Control Panel. (See page 19.)
When recording from a digital source, make sure that the sampling rates of both devices (e.g. DAT recorder and laptop) are synchronized. The S/PDIF protocol contains a signal called wordclock for this purpose. If the Master Clock switch is set to EXTERNAL in the GO44 Control panel, the GO44 will automatically synchronize to it and the DIGITAL IN channel will be available in the mixer. ASIO applications such as Cubase often have an option to switch the hardware from an internal to an external (sometimes also called S/PDIF) clock source. This changeover currently has no effect on the GO44. NOTE Make sure to use RCA pin cables specially made for digital audio applications.

K DIGITAL OUT jack

This digital audio jack is for the digital output of audio signals. The interface can transmit sample rates of up to 24-bit/96 kHz. For playback, set the routing in the Control Panel to the digital output. AC3 and DTS can also be played back via the digital output. Select NON AUDIO for the digital output in the Control Panel under ROUTING. (See page 20.) The non-audio signals are not sent to the analog outputs.

Drivers

Windows drivers
The GO44 audio interface features two kinds of audio drivers that support a variety of applications. The audio drivers support all bit rates between 8 and 24 bits with all common sample rates between 32 and 192 kHz. (Supports digital I/O up to 96 kHz)

MME driver

The Windows MME driver is a multi-channel driver that supports all channels of the GO44. The specific routing options for these drivers can be found in the GO44 Control Panel. In most Windows programs, you will encounter MME drivers with the designation GO44(GO44 (1)) In 1 for input channel and GO44(GO44 (1)) MC Out for output channel.

ASIO driver

ASIO (Audio Streaming Input Output) is an audio transfer protocol developed by Steinberg. The advantage of the ASIO driver is the extremely low audio recording and playback delay times, also known as latency. Values of around 5 ms on fast, cleanly configured systems at sample rates exceeding 96 kHz are quite realistic. The format also supports sound cards with multiple inputs and outputs so-called multi-I/O cards, as well as direct monitoring and multi-client mode (ASIO 2.0 or later). In the programs that make use of Steinbergs ASIO interface, the ASIO driver for the GO44 is listed as ASIO GO4x.

Cubase LE

For Cubase, the inputs are called Line 1/2 left GO44, SPDIF left GO44, etc. Also, the outputs (generally called busses or channels) available in the individual programs are generally called Multichannel 1 GO44, SPDIF/AC3 left GO44, etc.

MIDI driver

This driver is for using the GO44 MIDI IN and MIDI OUT ports. The driver is designated as GO44(GO44 (1)) Midi In 1 (MIDI input) and GO44(GO44 (1)) Midi Out 1 (MIDI output). NOTE MIDI les, which can be played back using Windows media players, are also to be transferred to
externally connected devices such as synthesizers and tone generators. Open the Sounds and Audio Devices Properties window from the Windows Control Panel, go to Audio and set the MIDI music playback device to the driver mentioned above.

Mac OS X drivers

In Mac OS X, the GO44 system is supported completely by Apple CoreAudio and CoreMIDI. Device-specific drivers are not required. If you would like to use the GO44 for the default system sound output, select the GO44 audio driver in [System Preferences] [Sound] [Output].
The CoreAudio/MIDI driver can also be selected in DAW applications such as Cubase. Buffer sizes generally can also be configured there to accelerate access to the audio system.

GO44 Control Panel

The GO44 Control Panel is quite intuitive and should not present beginners with major problems. Here, depending on the requirements of each situation, you can have total control of the audio interface, reduce levels, route inputs to any output or set the Master Clock values. NOTE The functions and the positions of the control elements are generally identical between the two
platforms, Windows and Mac OS. The following example illustrations have been taken from the Windows version of the Control Panel.

MAIN display

In the MAIN display, you can control the digital mixer of the GO44, set sample rates, route any input to any output, etc.
If you are working with common DAW applications, you should also use the DAW for level control. The advantage for doing this is that the settings are usually saved together with your project (song, arrangement etc.)

ANALOG IN / DIGITAL IN

Here you can control the levels of analog input channels in the ANALOG IN column and digital input channels in the DIGITAL IN column. Use the faders to control the levels of corresponding channels. The [MUTE] buttons can be used to mute the individual channels. In the ANALOG IN column, you can set the gain levels of the INPUT 1/2 jacks. Click the pulldown menu at the top of the ANALOG IN column and select from among the settings LOW, MID, and HIGH for the input channels. Select HIGH to connect low-level equipment such as microphones, and LOW to connect high, line-level equipment such as keyboards. A separate fader is available for each mono channel. The individual channels can be joined using the switchable stereo link function. To turn on/off the stereo link function, click the [PAIR] button. While the stereo link function is active, faders and mute operations are linked. DIGITAL IN is grayed out until a signal is applied to the digital input and the MASTER CLOCK (page 20) is set to [EXTERNAL].
GO44 Control Panel DAW IN 1/2, 3/4, 5/6
Here you can adjust the levels of the output signals sent from DAW applications. As with the ANALOG IN / DIGITAL IN, a separate fader is available for each mono channel. The individual channels can be joined using the switchable stereo link function (the [PAIR] button). While the stereo link function is active, faders and mute operations are linked. To send the mixed signal, [DIGITAL MIXER] must be assigned in the ROUTING section. If [DIGITAL MIXER] is not assigned for any outputs, the operation of the digital mixer is ignored.

MASTER

The overall playback level of the digital mixer can be set with the Master control. In Windows, faders and mute operations can be linked using the stereo link function.

MASTER CLOCK

This controls the sample rate used by the GO44. When digital inputs are not used, click the [INTERNAL] button and choose from all commonly used sample rates from 32 to 192 kHz from the pull-down menu. When external devices such as DAT recorders are connected, click the [EXTERNAL] button. The external sample rate is displayed in the box next to the [EXTERNAL] button. If no signal is available or the connection has been interrupted, the message -------- will be returned. NOTE

When a sample rate of 192kHz is selected, only the ANALOG IN (for audio inputs) and DAW IN 1/2 (for audio outputs) columns are available. When a sample rate of 192kHz is selected, avoid using MIDI inputs and outputs since this may cause some noise and glitches in the sound.

ROUTING

Selects the output signal sent from the OUTPUT 1/2, PHONES, and DIGITAL OUT jacks. All input signals (DAW IN 1/2, DAW IN 3/4, DAW IN 5/6, ANALOG IN, DIGITAL IN, and DIGITAL MIXER) can be routed to the three output pairs*. Click the three buttons on the left-hand side to open a pull-down menu from which you can select the desired pair. If you intend to use the digital mixer, [DIGITAL MIXER] must also be selected on the input side, otherwise the signal will be sent straight to the output, bypassing the faders.
* For the DIGITAL OUT jack, you can select NON AUDIO (as shown above). In this case, AC3 and DTS data will be transmitted only via the digital output.

SETTINGS

Calls up the ASIO control panel (for ASIO driver settings), the SCENES panel for saving the GO44 Control Panel settings, and the ABOUT display for system related information.
The ASIO control panel (Windows only)
Selects a latency value (delay in playing the audio signals) when using the ASIO driver. To open the ASIO panel, click the [ASIO] button in the SETTINGS column of the MAIN display. If the value is too low (and the sample rate too high), this will negatively affect the performance of your overall system, introducing noise and dropouts. A more powerful computer will support a lower latency setting. With a fast system, you should achieve values of less than 5ms at 96kHz. If problems occur, increase the latency as needed. Further options are generally available on the relevant panels of ASIO applications such as Cubase, etc.

The SCENES panel

Saves/calls up scenes. A scene is a file in which the Control Panel settings are saved (except settings in the MASTER CLOCK column; page 20). Save the scene and call up the file, and the settings can be reloaded whenever necessary. To open the SCENES panel in Windows, click the [SCENES] button in the SETTINGS column of the MAIN display; on the Macintosh, select [File] [SCENES] from the GO44 menu. To save a scene, input a name for the scene in the box located to the left of the [SAVE] button and click the [SAVE] button. To load or delete a saved scene, select the desired scene name from the box and click the [LOAD] or [DELETE] button.

The ABOUT display of the GO44 Control Panel gives you all of the relevant facts on your Control Panel, audio drivers, firmware version, and operating system. To open the ABOUT display in Windows, click the [ABOUT] button in the SETTINGS column of the MAIN display. NOTE On the Macintosh, if you place the mouse pointer over the YAMAHA logo of the MAIN display, information about your Control Panel, etc. is shown in the bottom of the display.

Select [Devices] [Device Setup] [VST Multitrack] [Expert] and check the box to the left of Multi Processing and click [OK]. (For Windows) Setting Hyper Threading to off in the BIOS settings may solve the problem. Is the wordclock setting correct for both the GO44 and the external device(s)? (See page 20.) If the speed of your computers hard disk is slow, problems may occur during recording and playback. If you connect/disconnect the LAN, USB or the cables to the mini jacks terminals you are using while recording/playback, some noise may be caused and/or data may be cut off. Make sure that you do not insert or unplug any connections while recording/playback. Is the sample rate (wordclock) appropriate? A high sample rate can be the cause of the noise depending on the computer capacity and speed. (See page 20.) Use of MIDI inputs and outputs when the sample rate is set to 192kHz may cause some noise and glitches in the sound. Do not use MIDI inputs and outputs when the sample rate is set to 192 kHz. Try disconnecting the IEEE1394 (FireWire) cable and after a while connect it again.
