Frequently Asked Questions - Waves WSG-Y16 V2 YAMAHA

Log into your Waves account at www.waves.com and follow the registration prompts. You will need the serial number from the card. Registration is required to obtain drivers and licenses.
What software do I need to use the WSG-Y16 V2?
You need the Waves SoundGrid Driver and a compatible host application such as SoundGrid Studio or MultiRack SoundGrid. The driver is available from the Waves Hardware Drivers page.
How do I connect the WSG-Y16 V2 to my computer?
Connect the card's Ethernet port directly to your computer's Gigabit Ethernet port using the supplied cable for a single card. For multiple cards or other devices, use a SoundGrid-compatible switch.
Why is the driver not appearing in my DAW?
Ensure the SoundGrid application (SoundGrid Studio or MultiRack) is running. The driver may appear before the application is launched, but the application must be open to configure the device. Also check that the correct network port is selected in the driver control panel.
Can I use multiple WSG-Y16 cards together?
Yes. Connect all cards to a SoundGrid-compatible switch and ensure the switch is connected to your computer. Configure each card in the SoundGrid Studio inventory. The system supports up to several cards for expanded I/O.
How do I update the firmware on my WSG-Y16 V2?
Firmware updates are initiated automatically when you run the SoundGrid Studio or MultiRack application for the first time, or manually via the Device Racks or SoundGrid Inventory window. Follow on-screen prompts.
What is the maximum audio sample rate supported?
The WSG-Y16 V2 supports sample rates up to 96 kHz. Ensure your console and DAW are set to a compatible sample rate.
Does the WSG-Y16 V2 work with any Yamaha console?
It is designed for Yamaha digital consoles that have a WSG-Y16 slot, such as the CL and QL series. Check your console's compatibility in the manual.
What type of Ethernet cable should I use?
Use a shielded Cat5e or Cat6 cable for reliable performance. The maximum cable length is 100 meters.
How do I change the audio buffer size for low latency?
In the SoundGrid Driver control panel on Windows, you can adjust the ASIO buffer size. On Mac, buffer size is set within your DAW. Lower values reduce latency but may cause instability; typical values range from 64 to 512 samples.
