Yamaha USB Audio Driver Owner’s Manual 3
Yamaha USB Audio Driver is designed for transfer of audio data between a Yamaha hardware product and a
computer. This driver can be used with ASIO-compatible DAW applications such as Cubase AI 4 and multimedia
applications such as Windows Media Player.
In comparison to standard Windows audio drivers, this driver provides far greater reduction in delay time (latency) in
playing the audio signals, making recording and mixing more seamless and efficient. This driver supports two
channels of audio, at 44.1/48 kHz and 16-bit resolution for both input and output.

•Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument on/off or plugging/unplugging the USB cable
to/from the [USB TO HOST] terminal.
