computer.

• (Windows) Some network adaptors can cause

noise. In such a case, use the Device Manager to

disable the suspected network adaptor to remove

the noise.

■The CUBASE READY indicator does not turn on. /

Cubase cannot be remotely controlled.

• Make sure that the Extensions for Steinberg DAW

software has been installed properly.

• Make sure that the n8/n12 is connected to the

computer via an IEEE 1394 cable.

•You must use Cubase 4, Cubase Studio 4, or

Cubase AI4. Cubase SX3 and Cubase versions

older than version 4 do not support the Link function.

• From the Devices menu, select Device settings to

open the Cubase Device Settings panel, then

make sure that “Yamaha n 12 (n8)” has been

registered as a remote device. Also, make sure

that “n12 (n8) Remote” has been selected as the

MIDI I/O ports.

• (Macintosh) When an external MIDI device is

added to the device “mLAN Network” in the Audio

MIDI Setup window (called up by selecting

[Application] → [Utilities]), the MIDI input/output

port for the remote device may not be set

automatically in Cubase. In this case, remove all

the external devices in the Audio MIDI Setup

window, or manually set the MIDI input/output port

for the remote device to the appropriate one in the

Device Setup window in Cubase.

■The [WET] switch does not respond. / Cannot

monitor wet (effect) signals.

•Make sure that the CUBASE READY indicator is lit.

If it is not lit, refer to the section “The CUBASE

READY indicator does not turn on” above.

• Cubase projects must have an audio bus or track

to be monitored. Create a bus or track manually,

or use one of the n8/n12 project templates (see

page 36).

■Pressing a WORK MODE switch does not change

the output destination of Cubase audio tracks.

•Make sure that the CUBASE READY indicator is lit.

If it is not lit, refer to the section “The CUBASE

READY indicator does not turn on” above.

• Cubase projects must have an audio bus or track

to be monitored. Create a bus or track manually,

or use an n8/n12 project template (see page 36).

■Cannot find a n8/n12 project template.

• Make sure that the Extensions for Steinberg DAW

software has been installed.

•If you install Cubase after you install Extensions for

Steinberg DAW, the project template files will be

installed in the following location. Copy these files

to the location where Cubase has been installed.

Windows:

C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Cubase 4\templates

C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Cubase Studio 4\templates

C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Cubase AI 4\templates

Macintosh:

/Applications/Cubase 4.app/Contents/templates/

/Applications/Cubase Studio 4.app/Contents/templates/

/Applications/Cubase AI 4.app/Contents/templates/

■Audio and MIDI signals fail to transfer between

computer and mixer.

• The driver may not have been installed or set up

correctly.

• Make sure that the IEEE 1394 cable is connected

properly, and that the power to the n8/n12 has

been turned on.

• There may be a loop connection. Check the

cabling to make sure that none of the devices are

connected in a loop.

•Make sure that the driver (Connection Manager) is

enabled. (The driver icon should be blue.)

(Windows) Right Click the driver icon on the task

bar, then select [ON].

(Macintosh) Click the driver icon on the status

menu, then select [Connection Manager] → [ON].

• (Windows) When you connect the n8/n12, make

sure that the system displays a screen indicating

that the connection is in progress. If not, right-click

the driver icon on the task bar, then select RESET

ALL to reset the connection. The connection

process resumes from the beginning. (This

connection screen is supposed to appear the first

time you connect the n8/n12 to your computer. If

you connect the n8/n12 to a computer, then later

switch to another computer, and then connect it to

the previous computer, this screen also appears.

• (Windows) There may be multiple IEEE 1394

interfaces installed on the computer. In this case,

follow the steps below to set the interface that is

connected to the n8/n12.

(1) Right-click the driver icon on the task bar,

then select [Driver Setup].

(2) Select the IEEE 1394 interface in “1394

Adapter Card ID” that is connected to the n8/

n12.

(3) Re-insert the IEEE 1394 cable.

(4) Right-click the driver icon on the task bar and

select [OFF] to disable the driver.

(5) Right-click the driver icon again and select

[ON] to enable the driver.

• (Windows) Try returning the settings to their

default state by right-clicking the driver icon in the

task bar and selecting [RESET ALL].

• (Macintosh) Use only the standard IEEE 1394

(FireWire) interface of your computer and remove

other IEEE 1394 interfaces since AI Driver

supports only the standard interfaces.
