Audio announces the upcoming release of the WSG-Y16 mini-YGDAI
SoundGrid I/O card for Yamaha mixing consoles. Together with
a Waves SoundGrid Server (SGS), a Control PC and an authorized iLok
with SoundGrid-compatible Waves plug-ins, the WSG-Y16 enables Yamaha
consoles to process 16 channels of audio with Waves plug-ins. Users
connect a SoundGrid-compatible PC to the mixing console, route a channel
to a WSG-Y16 channel and then process the channel signal with Waves
plug-ins on the SoundGrid server. Additionally, the WSG-Y16 supports
MIDI input, for remote plug-in control directly from the console or
external control surface.
