Routing issue with Yamaha MOXF8 A/D inputs

VST Live
1

Hi,

Another night of struggle!

Trying to build up a new configuration with a Surface Pro and a Yamaha MOXF8, I wish I could plug a mic into Audio In L and a guitar preamp into Audio In R off the MOXF to feed two global stacks in VL

Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO driver is selected in VL and I created two new Inputs “vocal” and “guitar” in Devices > Connections… , then two global stacks, one for the mic and the other for guitar. The MOXF provides two pairs of audio: 1&2 for A/D In and 3&4 for Parts. This is where things are getting blurry…

I can’t get the audio signals to be correctly routed towards their appropriate stacks. Microphone and guitar are blended, or one of them is missing whatever selection I do in Connections. I can’t guess the logic of what happens.

The problem seems to appear only with the Yamaha MOXF, the routing works perfectly well with a NI Komplete Audio 6.

The only thing I noticed is that the names of the audio input channels in Devices > Connections are limited to 25 characters, so the MOXF channels are displayed as:

  • Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO: stereo 1+2
  • Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO: MOXF6/MOXF8
  • Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO: MOXF6/MOXF8
  • Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO: stereo 3+4
  • Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO: MOXF6/MOXF8
  • Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO: MOXF6/MOXF8

It’s not easy, if not impossible, to make sure we make the right choice, as all mono channels are displayed with the same name, probably due to the 25 characters limitation.

This is probably not the explanation of the trouble, but I can’t find another clue…

Thanks!

Edit:
In Cubase, the mono channels are displayed as “MOXF6/MOXF8 - n”, where n = Channel number.

we’ll check. The logic would expect the first of the two mono ports to correspond to the left input; if it gets confused because of equal naming, it would always choose the first (left) input, will check.

Presumably the driver returns the same name twice. That’s not exactly by the book…but we may be wrong and have to check that.
In any case, the next version will add a number to ASIO ports with equal name, should there be any. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi @Jihem,

if the next version still does not work for you, can you please create a screenshot from :

… maybe it’s a visual problem.

Thank you,
Michael.

So strange! I have the exact same problem when I connect VL to a Yamaha AG06 mixer. Although the audio port name is shorter, the mono Left and Right channels are still displayed with the same name.

Both Stacks are receiving the microphone signal on Left and Right (a little louder on Left channel) and the guitar only on Right channel.

Could it be an issue related to Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO driver (v2.1.7)? The routing is ok with a NI Komplete Audio 6 interface.

We’re looking into it.
Should the driver provide the same name multiple times (which it shouldn’t), todays’ version should fix it, give it a try and pls report back, thanks.

This was fixed with 2.1.17
