YAMAHA MW10, USB mixer interface with cubase LE
Getting the music that’s in your head out into the real world doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, with Yamaha’s new MW10 and MW12 USB Mixing Studio, making great music is easier than ever before. Combined with the powerful Cubase LE audio/MIDI sequencing software, the MW Mixer provides a comprehensive tabletop studio setup for the solo recording musician and for the travelling producer/arranger.
High-quality multitrack mixing/recording systems don’t get any simpler than this. Along with its versatile mixing functions, the MW features a true plug-and-play USB audio interface—giving you a fast, no-nonsense way to get quality audio tracks into your computer. With Cubase LE, it’s also an advanced, all-in- one solution that turns any computer into a complete, top-flight recording system.
Connect the MW to a USB terminal on your laptop or desktop computer, and you’ve got an instant, high-quality audio recording studio in-a-box. The MW delivers true plug-and-play USB audio input/output interfacing, and lets you easily mix your audio sources down to two-track stereo for recording to computer. The MW package includes Steinberg’s Cubase LE—a cross- platform software that provides a complete audio/MIDI recording solution, along with video playback and music notation capabilities
A low-latency ASIO driver is available for free download at our website, giving you optimum performance and letting you use VST plug-in instruments and effects in real time. Cubase LE has over 40 built-in VST instruments and effects, but you can add more as your needs grow.
The MW10 gives you a total of 10 inputs, including four ultra-low- noise mic preamps. The MW12 has even more—12 inputs, with six mic pre amps. These high-performance balanced inputs also have a phantom power switch, allowing you to take advantage of the superior sonic quality of professional-level condenser microphones. These mixers accept just about any source you want to plug into them, with a full variety of input connectors—including balanced XLR, 1/4” phone jacks and RCA pin jacks. Comprehensive sound shaping is also onboard with pan controls, 3-band EQ and 80 Hz high-pass filters (to cut hum and low-frequency noise) on each channel strip. The MW provides insert patch points —for two channels on the MW10, and four on the MW12—letting you put external compressors and EQ into the signal path, and process your vocals or guitar as needed.
The MW12 has all the USB studio features found on the MW10, but packs even more mixing power, control and flexibility into its compact package. Foremost are the 12 inputs, including six balanced XLR inputs (for microphones), and four stereo line input channels. The MW provides separate inserts for Channels 1 – 4, letting you route the incoming signals through your favorite processors before mixing and recording. The MW12 is also rack-mountable and uses long-throw faders instead of knobs for easy level control. The two AUX Sends each have separate knob controls, and the AUX 1 bus can be configured pre- or post-fader, useful for setting up an independent monitor mix. The MW12 also has Master Send and Return controls for maximum control over the AUX buses. Separate Group buses 1 and 2 give you further flexibility in creating sub mixes. The MW12 features a convenient PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) switch that lets you monitor an incoming signal (in your headphones, for example) without having to boost the level of the channel, and has independent Stereo switches on all channels, for sending the signal to both the stereo L/R bus and the computer.
These versatile mixers are also fully equipped for your external processing and monitoring needs. Two AUX send/return buses let you apply further signal processing on each channel—for example, with your favorite external reverb and delay units, or other effects devices. In addition to the main stereo outputs, the MW features separate headphone, control room and recording outputs as well, giving you plenty of options for a wide range of monitoring and recording applications. And visual monitoring of the output level is made accurate and easy with the bright 12-segment level meters.

BUNDLED SOFTWARE
Cubase LE Cubase LE
Cubase LE is a full-featured music production software based on the award-winning Cubase SX and SL programs. It gives you up to 48 simultaneous audio tracks and 64 MIDI tracks, plus a variety of VST plug-in software synths and effects, as well as full VSTi compatibility, with support for up to eight VST instruments. Just as the Yamaha MW USB Mixing Studio is your all-in-one solution to mixing and recording tracks to computer, the powerful Cubase LE provides all you need to record, edit, process and mixdown your masterpieces. At the center of Cubase LE is a full-fledged audio/MIDI sequencer, which allows you to record audio (vocals, guitar, etc.) along with MIDI data (from keyboards, synthesizers, etc.) and have everything in perfect sync. What’s more, Cubase LE also includes built-in virtual sound modules, letting you play and record MIDI tracks with software synths. The LM-7 provides drum and percussion kits, while the VB-1 has a variety of bass sounds. And the Universal Sound Module has a comprehensive set of instrument sounds in every category, mapped according to the standard GM format. These VST instruments give you the power to create full arrangements —without the need for external tone generators. Cubase LE also has a complete set of built- in virtual effects to process your sound —everything from reverb, chorus and delay effects to distortion, rotary speaker, filter and modulation—plus many different and unusual variations within. All of the effects are software based, so you can enhance and transform the sound all inside your computer!
Sample Editor
The editing features of Cubase LE give you further control over your recordings, providing a number of different ways to rearrange your parts and tracks. Use the main Project window to record and do basic work on your tracks (such as cutting, copying and moving sections), and use the other editing windows for more detailed work. The Sample Editor, for example, lets you easily manipulate your audio recordings. For MIDI recordings, there are a variety of options—the Key Editor (in piano roll form), the Drum Editor (with convenient event and drum mapping indications), the Score Editor (for notation based editing), and the detailed List Editor (showing all MIDI events). The power and versatility of Cubase LE is truly amazing, when you take a look at all the different projects and applications it can handle. If you’re into video production, you can easily use Cubase LE to create complex soundtracks and sound effect beds for your projects. Simply import the video (from your camcorder, for example) into Cubase LE and record narration and music on top—and have all your tracks synchronize perfectly with the images. Then creatively enhance your projects with the effects in Cubase LE—making huge explosive sounds with the help of reverb, or using the Vocoder effect for robot-like voices. Since the MW lets you record your analog sources (microphone, etc.) to computer in digital form, this compact setup is perfect for podcasting applications as well. Produce your own Internet radio programs, create custom remixes, and record your own CDs—the possibilities are endless. Cubase LE is compatible with both the Mac and Windows PC platforms, and since Cubase LE projects are completely upward compatible with the professional level Cubase SX and SL, you can still use your LE songs if and when you decide to upgrade. Cubase LE is the perfect way to enter the world of computer- based recording, giving you all the tools to produce professional level recordings—quickly and easily—while providing a system that you can expand into the future! Note: If you want to connect a MIDI keyboard, the optional Yamaha UX16 USB/MIDI interface provides a very simple, inexpensive way to get MIDI data into and out of your computer.
