The Yamaha DSP Factory transforms a Standard PC into a Professional Digital Multitrack Recording and Mixing System.Star Component in the Yamaha DSP Factory
A breakthrough computer audio card that provides a complete digital mixing and recording environment inside a standard personal computer -- at a breakthrough price that puts pro quality sound and performance within reach of more musicians and audio production professionals than ever before.
Audio DSP
Taking advantage of Yamaha's unique position as the world's leading manufacturer of audio DSP, the DS2416 offers the mixing power of the Yamaha O2R digital mixer, complete with 24 channels of digital mixing, on-board digital effects and dynamic processors, along with everything else professionals need, plus 16 tracks of hard disk recording with up to 32 bit resolution.
Relies On It's Own Processing Power
Unlike most other audio cards, the DS2416 relies on its own processing power and not the computer's CPU, which at an unprecedented price point, makes all functions of the card available simultaneously, to provide a level of flexibility and performance previously not possible. A built-in audio-streaming engine provides 16 tracks of recording/playback of 32-bit audio to and from the computer's disk drive.
Supports Windows 95 Platform
The first release of the DS2416 supports the Windows 95 platform. Installed in the PCI card slot of a standard PC, the DS2416 is controlled using software from the world's leading developers of MIDI and Hard Disk Recording applications. This lets you either stay with the software you're already familiar with, or select one which best suits your composing, recording and mixing style.
Add Top-Performance Non-Linear Recording to Your System
The most convenient and affordable way for musicians, sound designers and audio production professionals to add top-performance non-linear recording, with its inherent creative advantages of editing and instant access to audio data, to their systems. It's ideal for the musician already using a PC for sequencing of MIDI instruments, as well as for anyone looking to augment or replace a tape-based recording system.
Total DSP Factory System Concept
This concept includes features and options capable of attracting recording professionals to a PC platform as a replacement for conventional mixer/recorder component systems. Stereo digital and 20-bit analog inputs and outputs allow you to record and mix to, from a wide range of digital and analog two-channel audio devices. DS2416 cards can be linked to create a larger system, expansion cards are separately available which permit multiple-channel digital and analog input and output options.
The Mixer
The DS2416 is the only computer card to provide a complete digital mixer (24 channel, 32-bit digital mixer) with the power and sonic performance of the Yamaha O2R. Includes two effect processors equal in quality to the REV500; 26 dynamics processors. All features are available all the time. Since all the processing is present on the card, little or no outboard equipment is needed. Multichannel analog and digital I/O with optional interface hardware.
The Recorder
16-Track playback from hard disc, with up to 32-bit resolution. 8 Track simultaneous recording with up to 32-bit resolution. Sample-accurate synchronization between tracks. The recorder is "hot-wired" to the internal mixer in the digital domain. Synchronization to outside sources via software.
System Expandability
Optional expansion cards are under development with permit multiple-channel audio connections to and from the DS2416 -- for connection of multi-channel digital equipment such as outboard digital multitrack recorders and signal processors. A single DS2416 can provide up to 12 external inputs and outputs. Multiple DS2416 cards can be cascaded to create larger systems.
