Multirack SoundGrid
MultiRack SoundGrid is the host application that gives
you control over Waves plugins on the SoundGrid
platform.
Both Mac and Windows compatible, MultiRack SoundGrid
consists of virtual effects racks, each of which can
contain up to eight plugins. It allows you to program up to
1000 Snapshots per Session, so you can seamlessly
change setups between or even within songs.
MultiRack SoundGrid is compatible with Waves plugin
version 7.1 or higher.
There are 4 basic components in a MultiRack setup.
Plugins (compressors, EQs, delays, etc.)
process the audio.
Racks, like hardware, hold multiple
plugin processors.
Snapshots are presets which store
your plugin and Rack settings.
Sessions store the settings for all
plugins, Racks, and Snapshots, as
well as information about the
setup design and signal flow.
To get started with MultiRack SoundGrid, here’s all you need to do:
1
Connect Your Console to the SoundGrid Network
Before starting the application, connect your console to your
SoundGrid network. It’s useful to make a chart of the
connections, so that when you assign Racks to specific I/O
channels, you won’t need to look behind your console.
MultiRack SoundGrid signal flow to and from your console is
similar to what you’re used to with external hardware
processors: Some connections will be from aux sends on
your console, with returns on faders; others will be from
channel inserts. You may also choose to connect via a patch
bay or router.

COMPONENTS
Systems can include any number of mixing consoles. Yamaha DSP7 based mixing facilities include full capacity for
all mixing channels and mix buses available simultaniously, including 4-band PEQ and two dynamic processors for
all input channels, 4-band PEQ and dynamics for all mix buses, a DSP rack with up to 16 graphic EQ, up to 4 stereo
effect processors / VCM plug-ins. I/O routing to the Ethersound network, local i/o and MY slots (M7CL48-ES)
Systems can include any number of processing units. Yamaha DSP7 based processing uses a 32/58-bit fi xed point
DSP platform for all system components. Distributed DSP by DME Digital Mixing Engines with programmable func-
tionality, including delay matrix mixers, feedback suppression, speaker processing, routing, parametric and graphic
equalisers, multi-band dynamics, FX processing. Additional live-plug-in processing is supported through Waves
SoundGrid MY interface cards and servers.
64-channel redundant audio distribution through any combination of EtherSound compatible mixers, i/o stageracks,
DSP frames, and AES/EBU bridges. Additional networked audio distribution is supported as option through MY card
slots, including CobraNet and Dante protocols to a maximum of 48 i/o channels for M7CL-ES.
Up to 64-channel network recording (up to 48 network inputs, up to 16 mixer outputs) is supported as a standard
(M7CL48-ES) without the need for any additional hardware. Any Windows PC or laptop can be used. A dual harddisk
(RAID) recording system is offered for touring applications. Further recording options are supported through MY inter-
face cards for Ethersound, Dante, MADI, AES/EBU, Adat.
A standardised 0dBFS system eliminates output system level mismatches, amp clipping and speaker clipping. Output
systems are offered as subsystems (NIOS - Network Integrated Output Systems) wich connect directly to the net-
work. NIOS systems include DSP and offer all connections on a unifi ed front-access panel for increased effi ciency.
Segments in a redundant ring can be designed as Gigabit link, offering integrated connectivity for additional ethernet
based media systems such as Video and light control. Gigabit links offer DMX512/ArtNET client/servers as option.
StudioManager, DME designer, Amp Editor, ESmonitor and further 3rd party ethernet based control systems use
Gigabit links to integrate all control functionality in the system for mixers, DSP, speaker management and network
monitoring. Multiple WIFI access points are supported. M7CL live control is supported through an iPAD application.
Effi cient touring logistics and set-up procedures are supported through standardised CAT5E and fi bre cabling. Com-
ponents can be connected anywhere in any order, scaled to the project requirements on a day-by-day basis.
Incremental system investments are supported - components can be added in time as they are needed in pace with
performance requirements. A high degree of compatibility and the massive market presence of compatible consoles,
engines and stageracks allows systems to be temporarily expanded easily by hiring components on the market. All
existing MY16 compatible Yamaha mixing consoles can be upgraded for use in a UNION (networked) system.
An extremely high overall audio quality performance is guaranteed by optimising the audio distribution methods in the
digital domain - with each signal passing AD and DA only once through high quality 24-bit AD and DA conversion and
microphone pre-amps with rock solid digital clocking circuitry, 32-bit peripheral architecture, 32/58-bit fi xed point DSP
platform, audio-dedicated power supply design, and CE compliant electromagnetic shielding.
The ethersound ES100 redundant ring topology offers the highest redundancy level on the market, covering all indi-
vidual cables and ES100 network nodes in the system. Aditionally, seperate Ethernet redundancy schemes for further
redundancy for audio and ethernet connections are offered by Gigabit links.
UNION is based on EtherSound, including EtherSound components from Yamaha, supporting EtherSound compo-
nents from other manufacturers (see www.ethersound.com for a listing of Ethersound partners and products). UNION
offers additional support for connectivity over CobraNet and Dante through Yamaha interface cards. Non-licensed
audio networks such as OptoCore, Rocknet, and point to point connection formats such as AES/EBU, Adat, MADI,
LightViper, AVIOM are also supported through Yamaha and 3rd party interface cards.
