Introduction Welcome Thank you for choosing the Yamaha MY8LAKE Lake® Processing card. The MY8LAKE is a DSP expansion Mini-YGDAI card for use with compatible Yamaha professional audio devices. The card allows audio processing via insert to the host device or AES/EBU connection, enabling you to take advantage of the built-in advanced Lake® Processing technology for system equalization (EQ) and loudspeaker crossover processing.
USB Flash Drive Contents • Lake Controller Software Installer This software installer provides the Lake Controller software (for Windows), which is necessary for use of the MY8-LAKE card, along with the associated documentation and firmware update utilities. Documentation is available from the Windows Start Menu after software is installed. For the latest information about the system requirements, refer to the Lake website: http://www.lakeprocessing.
Part Names and Functions 1 2 3 1 AES/EBU connector This is a D-sub 25-pin connector that inputs and outputs eight digital audio signals in AES/ EBU format. Supported sampling frequencies are 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz. 2 NETWORK connector This is a RJ-45 connector (100 Mbps) that connects to a PC (Lake Controller).
Configuration and Module Mesa Configuration Signal Flow (System EQ) The MY8-LAKE defaults to an 8x8 system EQ configuration referred to as Mesa mode. This configuration provides eight discrete channels of audio processing as shown in the diagram below.
Contour Configuration Signal Flow (Crossover) In Contour mode (crossover), the MY8-LAKE provides 4x12 crossover modules as shown in the diagram below.
Contour/Mesa Configuration Signal Flow In hybrid mode (Contour/Mesa), the MY8-LAKE provides 2x6 crossover modules and 4x4 system EQ modules as shown in the diagram below.
System Examples The MY8-LAKE card can be used in a variety of ways; this chapter describes two typical scenarios. System EQ (Mesa) System EQ can be applied in Mesa mode; this is the default configuration for the MY8-LAKE card. Mesa mode provides eight channels of discrete audio processing that can be assigned to the host channel Insert Ins from the Insert Outs, without the use of any physical cabling— thanks to the card solution.
Quick Start Guide Installation and Cable Connection The first thing you should do is to install the card in your host device. For detailed installation instructions, refer to the owner's manual supplied with your host device. 1. Install the MY8-LAKE into an appropriate slot on your host device while the power is turned off, and tighten the two screws of the card to ensure a secure connection. 2.
card. The post-crossover signals can be routed back to the host or out to the AES/ EBU connector. In case of routing back to the host, patch the corresponding channels of the SLOT to the Insert In of any empty output channels. If any input channels are available instead, you can also patch to the input ports and directly output the signals via Direct Out. NOTE For details about the console settings, refer to the owner’s manual supplied with your host device.
2. Drag the module scroll bar to the left (or tap the button at the bottom right) to reveal the eight modules of the MY8-LAKE Frame as shown below. Scroll bar Module 3. Tap on one of the eight module icons, then drag the resulting cursor (of blank circles) to the main work area and tap again. The icons will move from the scroll bar as shown below. I/O Configuration This section describes how to configure the input and output routings for a module. 4. Tap a module icon in the work area to select it.
6. Toggle between the [Host Out Ch] button and the [AES CH] button to select a module input source. The selected input source will be highlighted in orange. Advanced I/O Configuration (Classic view) The default output configuration (Simplified view) is routed to the Host inputs (i.e., Host return) and to the AES output from each module. If you want to change the output configuration, you will need to change the view to “Classic view” by following the steps below. 1.
available audio source to any available output destination. Levels Screen The orange numbered blocks show which module output is routed to which of the currently selected “Destination” outputs. The currently displayed audio “Source” defaults to show the number of “Module Outputs” channels listed on the left and the visible audio “Destination” defaults to display the “Host” returns.
DM2000, for example, you will need to change the setting of the Analog Output Reference. 5. Tap the [LimiterMax EXIT] button to return to the top level menu. 6. To change polarity, tap the [Enable Polarity] button, then tap a polarity button (located to the right of the associated channel’s mute button). 7. To label a channel, tap the [Label NOTE The Levels screen always displays active RMS & Peak metering for the input and output channels on the selected module.
PEQ & GEQ Overlays sides of the filter allowing for fast asymmetrical filter creation. The Lake Controller software provides powerful EQ overlays that allow layering of EQ using parametric EQ (PEQ) and fixedband graphic EQ style controls (GEQ). 5. Tap and drag one of the red “X” 1. Tap the [Home] button, then tap ”X” filter point filter points up or down to boost/ cut. a module icon. 2. Tap the [EQ] tab at the top of the screen (if not already selected), then tap the [PEQ1] tab.
7. Tap the [Filter Edit] button to adjust filter gain, frequency center point and slope. 12. Drag the filter point up or down to boost/cut. “X” filter points 8. Tap any of the blue boxes that appear at the top left of the screen to manually enter specific values if needed. 9. If the [Frequency Lock] button at the top left of the screen is orange, tap the button to disable this function.
4. Tap the HPF filter box at the top left of the screen to select the HPF filter. (The LPF filter box is shown at the top right of the screen when enabled.) 7. Tap the [HPF Set] button and tap [Yes] after reading the warning dialog. NOTE To view the overall EQ response including the HPF/LPF and PEQ/GEQ filters, tap the [HPF/LPF Functions] button, then tap the [EQ Preferences] button, and finally tap [Full Response].
This stores all module information (levels, x-over and EQ settings) from the selected module as a new module file for future recall. You can recall the file and overwrite a different module. 2. Make sure that a module is selected, then tap the [I/O Config] button, and finally the [Frame Config] button. 4. Tap the [Home] button, then tap the [System Store/Recall] button. 5. Tap the [Store System] button, then enter a system name, and finally tap [OK] (or press ).
XOVER Screen (Contour mode only) The XOVER screen is available only on Contour modules when the MY8-LAKE card is configured either in Contour mode or the hybrid Contour/Mesa mode. This section explains features specific to Contour modules. When using loudspeaker presets module files recalled from the “LoadLibrary” folder, the XOVER screen may be hidden and unavailable. This guide assumes the use of the default Classic 2-Way module. 5. Select a module icon, and then tap the [EQ/Levels] button.
shown below after the module input has been unmuted. • Contour modules can have between one and six output channels dependent on the module type. The example above shows a 2-way module, with the input channel (far left) and the two output channels (Low & High) to the right. • For additional information about the Lake Controller, including module grouping, XOVER and HPF/LPF ganging, Designer Mode functionality, and other advanced user options, refer to the Lake Controller Operation Manual.
Appendix Problems and Warnings Problems, warnings, and other certain types of information are displayed via the MY8-LAKE panel indicators. LED FAULT Indicators Flash Lit (static) Details Solution No input source is available. Refer to “No Sound” in the “Troubleshooting” section. The digital clock is slipping. Ensure the digital clock is locked to a valid source.
Troubleshooting No Sound Is the card recognized correctly by the host device? In the default setting, the host device will recognize the card as a MY8-AE96 card. For host devices unrecognized by the MY8-AE96 (such as DIO8), you will need to change the emulation mode of the card to MY8-AT by tapping the [Operation Mode] magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of the I/O Config screen in the Lake Controller.
Network Control or Communication Problems Is the IP address on your PC correctly configured? The default IP Address Config on the MY8-LAKE is Auto - Zero Conf (169.254.x.x); if connectivity problems are encountered, try setting the network adapter of the PC to the same subnet range or use another fixed IP address, such as 192.168.0.x. Are any Dante-enabled devices present on the network? Additional network hardware configuration may be required; refer to the Lake Network Configuration Guide.
