1 Introduction
Welcome to the CBX-D5
Thank you for purchasing a CBX-D5 Digital Recording Processor. Connecting the
CBX-D5 to a controlling computer with supporting software and an external hard disk will
provide up to four channels of CD quality audio recording, processing, and playback.
CBX-D5 features
4-channel system: 2-channel simultaneous recording, 4-channel playback.
A/D conversion: 16-bit linear Σ modulation.
D/A conversion: 18-bit with 8-times oversampling digital filter.
Multi-band parametric DEQ for each channel.
DSP provides 82 different reverb and modulation type effects.
4-input, 4-bus, 2-send digital mixer.
Sampling frequencies: 48kHz, 44.1kHz, 32kHz, (22.05kHz analog input only).
Analog inputs and outputs use professional style XLR type connectors.
Digital I/O includes AES/EBU, CD/DAT & Y2 Yamaha format.
10 minutes of stereo audio requires approximately 100MB hard disk (fs=44.1kHz).
Total recording time can be increased by adding more SCSI hard disks.
All audio data processing is carried out within the CBX-D5, so much less is demanded
of the computer, eliminating data bottlenecks and slow screen redraws.
Host computer connection allows direct connection to a computer without a MIDI
interface.
Operating manual organization
The CBX-D5 is supplied with three manuals: this Operating Manual, the System Setup
Guide, and a Test Program manual.
This Operating Manual contains full details about the CBX-D5 Digital Recording
Processor: what it is, how it works, and how to use it. It also contains an index that will
allow you to locate information quickly, and also a glossary of CBX-D5 terminology.
The System Setup Guide describes how to set up a recording system using the current
supporting computers and music programs. From time to time this guide will be updated
using single sheet supplements. Please see your Yamaha dealer for the latest supplement.
The Test Program manual should be used in conjunction with the Hardware Test Program
Disk for testing the CBX-D5 hardware.

Powering up a CBX-D5 System
Some computer systems are a little bit fussy about which devices are switched on first,
especially when a SCSI daisy chain is introduced into the system. As a good rule of
thumb, switch on all connected SCSI devices first, then the computer.

2 CBX-D5 Terminology
SCSI
Pronounced scuzzy, the Small Computer System Interface is a connection format used for
connecting peripheral devices such as hard disks, printers, scanners, etc., to a computer.
Up to eight SCSI devices can be connected together in a daisy chain including the
controlling computer. Each device is given its own identity number from 0 to 7, this is
called the SCSI ID number.
The CBX-D5, a computer, and a hard disk are all connected as part of a SCSI daisy chain.
The SCSI connection carries audio data between the CBX-D5 and hard disk for recording
and playback, and also control data from the computer to the CBX-D5. The controlling
computer can also access the hard disk to perform basic sound file copy, delete, and backup
type functions. With the necessary software, digital audio data could be transferred
directly to the computer for on-screen waveform editing, etc.
The SCSI standard is quite a robust format, although, some care must be taken when
connecting and setting up SCSI devices. For full details about connecting SCSI hard disk
drives to the CBX-D5 see “Connecting Hard Disk Drives” on page 13.
Sound files
Just like other types of computer data, digital audio data is stored in files – sound files.
When recording starts, a sound file is created on the hard disk. This sound file can be given
a name, copied, and deleted just like any other computer file.
AES/EBU format
AES/EBU is a digital interface format established by the AES (Audio Engineering
Society) and EBU (European Broadcasting Union). It is used to transfer digital audio data
between professional digital audio equipment. Usually, two channels of digital audio (left
& right) are carried in one XLR type connection.
Although similar to the CD/DAT format, it is primarily intended for professional usage.
AES/EBU format connections can be found on most professional digital audio equipment
including hard disk recorders, digital mixers, professional DAT recorders, and many
digital VTRs.
CD/DAT format
Similar to the professional AES/EBU format, CD/DAT, or S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital
Interface Format) as it is otherwise known, is a digital interface format that is used to
transfer digital audio data between consumer type digital audio equipment such as CD
players, consumer DAT recorders, and the new DCC recorders.
Like the AES/EBU format, two channels of digital audio (left & right) are carried in one
connection, usually a phono/RCA jack type connection. Some MIDI samplers are fitted
with a CD/DAT connection so that sample data can be transferred directly to a DAT
recorder for storage.
Y2 format
Y2 Yamaha format is a digital interface format developed by Yamaha that is used to
transfer digital audio data between Yamaha’s professional digital audio equipment. Two
channels of digital audio (left & right) are carried in one connection, usually an 8-pin DIN
type connection.
Yamaha’s professional digital audio products usually include the AES/EBU and CD/DAT
type formats as well as Y2, and the Y2 format can also be found on some other
manufacturers’ digital audio products. Yamaha’s professional digital audio products that
use Y2 include the DMR8 Digital Mixer/Recorder, DMC1000 Digital Mixing Console,
DRU8 Digital Recorder, and the DMP series of Digital Mixers.

Sampling frequency (REC FREQ)
During the analog to digital conversion process, the level of the analog audio signal is
sampled (measured) many times per second. Each of these sample measurements is then
stored as a 16-bit binary value. For digital to analog conversion (playback), these 16-bit
binary values are used to reconstruct the analog audio signal. The rate at which these
sample measurements take place is called the sampling frequency and you may already
know that the sampling frequency used by CD players is 44.1kHz.
The CBX-D5 can record audio using any one of four sampling frequencies: 48kHz,
44.1kHz, 32kHz, and 22.05kHz. The audio quality (bandwidth) of a digital system is
directly affected by the sampling frequency. Essentially, the audio bandwidth will be
roughly half the chosen sampling frequency. See “Sampling frequency (REC FREQ)” on
page 20 for more details.
Word clock
When a number of digital audio devices are connected together and data is digitally
transferred between them, it is essential that the data processing circuits of all devices are
synchronized. To achieve this, one device operates as a word clock master and all other
devices operate as word clock slaves. The frequency of the word clock corresponds
directly to the digital audio data’s sampling frequency.
If you only connect two digital audio devices, say the CBX-D5 to a DAT recorder, word
clock setup is quite straight forward and no word clock connections will be required.
However, when three devices are connected, serious thought will need to be given as to
which device is word clock master and how to make the word clock connections. See
“WORD CLK IN/OUT” on page 28 for more details.
To Host
An 8-pin mini DIN connector that allows direct connection to a computer that is running
CBX-D5 supporting software. This can be used when your computer does not have a
MIDI interface, i.e. MIDI input and output connections. See “TO HOST connection” on
page 30 for more details.
NOTE:
Word clock signals should not be confused with other synchronizing signals
such as SMPTE timecode and MTC (MIDI Timecode). Although both may
be used in a digital audio system, word clocks are for synchronizing digital
audio data processing circuits such as CPUs, D/A, A/D converters, etc., while
SMPTE and MTC timecodes are for synchronizing audio and video tape
machines, MIDI sequencers, etc., relative to time – hours, minutes, seconds,
and frames.
NOTE:
Not all CBX-D5 supporting music software can use this type of connection,
so please consult your Yamaha dealer before making a purchase.
What is the CBX-D5? 5What is the CBX-D5? 5What is the CBX-D5? 5
3 What is the CBX-D5?
The CBX-D5 is a Digital Recording Processor that, when connected to a controlling
computer with supporting software and an external hard disk, provides up to four channels
of CD quality audio recording, processing, and playback.
Computer based
The CBX-D5 is controlled by a computer that is running CBX-D5 supporting software.
All audio data processing takes place inside the CBX-D5, so there is very little demand on
the controlling computer. For this reason the CBX-D5 can be used with some of the less
powerful, less expensive computers such as the Apple Macintosh SE/30, Classic II, and
LC; and the Atari ST/STE. It also leaves the computer free to get on with other jobs such
as processing MIDI sequence data and screen updates.
The CBX-D5, computer, and hard disk are all connected as part of a SCSI daisy chain. The
SCSI connection carries audio data between the CBX-D5 and hard disk for recording and
playback, and also control data from the computer to the CBX-D5. A MIDI connection
between the CBX-D5 and computer carries continuous controller information for
real-time volume, EQ, and pan control of the CBX-D5’s digital mixer.
Four-channel system
The CBX-D5 is a 4-channel system, i.e., 2-channel simultaneous recording and
4-channel playback. Channels can be recorded while other channels playback.
The CBX-D5 needs about 100Mbytes of hard disk space to record 10 minutes of stereo
digital audio (fs = 44.1kHz). The available recording time can be increased by simply
adding more, or larger hard disk drives to the SCSI daisy chain.
CD quality & editing
The CBX-D5 records audio data at a 16-bit resolution, and with 44.1kHz and 48kHz
sampling frequencies it provides all the sound quality benefits of the Compact Disc format
such as faithful reproduction, low noise, minimal distortion, etc.
Analog input and output signals are processed by 16-bit linear Σ modulation A/D and
18-bit 8-times oversampling D/A converters. Analog connections use balanced XLR type
connectors. Digital I/O consists of AES/EBU, CD/DAT, and Y2. Allowing digital audio
data transfer between the CBX-D5 and other digital audio equipment.
As well as the A/D, D/A converters, the CBX-D5 also contains a 4-input, 4-bus, 2-send
digital mixer; a DSP for digital effects; DEQ for real-time EQ control; and sampling
frequency converters that allow recording and playback at differing sampling frequencies.
As well as the sound quality, two other benefits of recording with a CBX-D5 system as
opposed to analog tape are, the ability to nondestructively edit recordings and being able
to move audio data relative to time, a feature often referred to as audio time slip.
For a listing of some other CBX-D5 features, see “CBX-D5 features” on page 1.
The future
The CBX-D5 is a software dependent device, so with future supporting software it may be
possible to use the CBX-D5 for digital mixing with digital EQ and effects, sampling,
2-track mastering, waveform editing, and multimedia type applications.

4 Controls & Connections
Front panel
1 POWER switch
Used to turn the power on and off. Press once to switch on, press again to switch off.
2 SOURCE indicators
Indicates the input selected for recording: AES/EBU, Y2, CD/DAT, or ANALOG. The
source input selection is made by the controlling software.
3 REC FREQ indicators
Indicates the selected sampling frequency for recording: 48kHz, 44.1kHz, 32kHz, and
22.05kHz (analog inputs only). The sampling frequency selection is made by the
controlling software.
4 PB FREQ indicators
Indicates the sampling frequency of the digital audio data that is being output by the
CBX-D5: 48kHz, or 44.1kHz. The playback sampling frequency setting is made by the
controlling software.
When the CBX-D5 is used with an external word clock, the digital outputs will operate at
the same frequency as the external word clock and that frequency will not be indicated by
the “PB FREQ” indicators.
Front panel 9Front panel 9Front panel 9
5 INPUT LEVEL meters
Two 12-segment LED bargraphs indicate the level of the incoming digital audio when the
input source is set to AES/EBU, CD/DAT, or Y2 (not affected by the level controls), or the
level of the analog input signals when the input source is set to ANALOG (controlled by
the “ANALOG IN” level controls).
6 OUTPUT LEVEL meters
Four 12-segment LED bargraphs that indicate the output level of channels 1 ~ 4. The
“CLIP” LED indicates an output level of +17dBm.
7 ANALOG IN LEVEL control
Independent level controls for analog input channels 1 and 2. As well as independent level
control, these controls can also be used to balance the left and right channels of a stereo
source connected to the analog inputs.
8 PHONES VOL
Adjusts the volume level of the headphones.
9 PHONES connection
A stereo 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) phone jack used for connecting a pair of stereo headphones.
All four CBX-D5 audio channels can be monitored – channels 1 and 3 appear in the left
speaker and channels 2 and 4 in the right.
NOTE:
Unlike peak meters on analog equipment that light up approximately 3 ~ 6dB
before signal clipping, CLIP LEDs on digital equipment light up when the
signal has actually clipped. Digital audio signal clipping normally produces
unpleasant distortion, pops, and clicks, so care must be taken when setting
the recording level for analog input signals. See “Recording” on page 20 for
more details.
NOTE:
Just like the input level meters, lighting an output level meter’s “CLIP” LED
should be avoided to prevent signal distortion. This situation may occur when
two or more CBX-D5 audio channels are mixed, or if excessive EQ is
applied. The CBX-D5 does not have any output level controls, the output
level is set by the controlling software.
NOTE:
These controls have no effect on the AES/EBU, CD/DAT, and Y2 digital
inputs and outputs.

Rear panel
The explanations below are only brief introductions to the CBX-D5’s rear panel
connections. For full details about the inputs and outputs, see “Inputs & Outputs
Explained” on page 26.
1 ANALOG IN 1&2
A pair of female XLR 3-31 type connectors used for inputting analog audio signals. These
are balanced inputs with a nominal input level of +4dBm and a maximum input level of
+22dBm. These could be connected to the outputs of a mixer, synthesizer, drum machine,
etc. Microphones, guitars, and equipment with an output level less than –20dBm must first
be connected to a preamplifier, then to the CBX-D5.
2 ANALOG OUT 1 ~ 4
Four male XLR 3-32 type connectors used for outputting channels 1 ~ 4 as analog audio
signals. These are balanced outputs with a nominal output level of 0dBm and a maximum
output level of +17dBm. These could be connected to the inputs of a mixer, amplifier, tape
recorder, or DAT recorder.
3 AES/EBU IN 1/2
A female XLR 3-31 type connector for inputting AES/EBU format digital audio. Only one
input connection is required for channels 1 and 2 because the AES/EBU format carries two
signals in one connection. These could be used when recording digital audio data from
professional digital audio equipment such as another hard disk recorder, a digital mixer,
digital recorder, or digital VTR.
NOTE:
When the Analog inputs are used unbalanced, the maximum input level is
reduced to +16dBm.
Rear panel 11Rear panel 11Rear panel 11
4 AES/EBU OUT 1/2 & 3/4
Two male XLR 3-32 type connectors for outputting AES/EBU format digital audio.
Channels 1 and 2 are output via “OUT 1/2”, and channels 3 and 4 via “OUT 3/4”. These
could be used to transfer digital audio data from the CBX-D5 to professional digital audio
equipment.
5 CD/DAT IN 1/2
A Phono/RCA jack for inputting CD/DAT format digital audio. Channels 1 and 2 are
carried in the same connection. This connection could be connected to the digital output
of a CD player or DAT recorder and allows digital audio recording without multiple D/A,
A/D audio data conversions. Some MIDI samplers are fitted with this type of connection.
In this case your sound samples could be recorded directly to your CBX-D5 system.
6 CD/DAT OUT 1/2
A Phono/RCA jack for outputting CD/DAT format digital audio. Channels 1 and 2 are
carried in the same connection. This could be connected to the digital input of a DAT
recorder or DCC recorder, and allows digital audio recording without multiple D/A, A/D
audio data conversions.
7 Y2 IN 1/2
An 8-pin DIN socket for inputting Y2 Yamaha format digital audio. As with the AES/EBU
and CD/DAT formats, two audio channels are carried in the same connection. This could
be connected to one of Yamaha’s digital audio products such as a DMR8 Digital
Mixer/Recorder, DMC1000 Digital Mixing Console, DRU8 Digital Recorder, SPX1000
Effect Processor, or the DMP series of Digital Mixers.
8 Y2 OUT 1/2
An 8-pin DIN socket for outputting Y2 Yamaha format digital audio. This could be used
to transfer digital audio data from the CBX-D5 to one of the Yamaha professional digital
audio products listed above. You might not own one of these products yourself, but you
may need to transfer some of your audio data to a recording studio that does.
9 WORD CLK IN/OUT
Two BNC type connectors for inputting and outputting word clock signals. A common
word clock signal is used to synchronize data processing circuits when a number of digital
audio devices are connected together. For a full description of how and when to use these
connections, see “WORD CLK IN/OUT” on page 28.
NOTE:
It is widely known that the weakest links in a digital audio system are the A/D
and D/A converters. For once the audio has been converted into a digital
form, it is immune from all the problems usually associated with analog
equipment such as distortions and noise. Although the effects of multiple
conversions will be hard to spot, even for the best trained ears, it makes sense
that once converted, we try and keep the audio in a digital form by using these
digital I/O connections wherever possible.

0 MIDI IN
The CBX-D5 receives MIDI control data from the computer via this connection. To
prevent the CBX-D5’s control data being delayed by other MIDI devices, the CBX-D5
should be the first device connected to your computer. Other MIDI devices should then be
connected to the CBX-D5’s MIDI THRU connection.
If your computer’s MIDI interface has two or three MIDI outputs, dedicate one for use
with the CBX-D5.
A MIDI OUT
When the CBX-D5 is being used as a MIDI interface, that is, a direct connection to a
computer via the To Host connection, MIDI data from the computer is output to other
MIDI devices from this connection. Also used for MIDI bulk dump.
B MIDI THRU
MIDI data appearing at the MIDI IN connection is buffered, then output from this
connection. In other words, all MIDI data appearing at the MIDI IN connector is output to
the MIDI THRU connector unaffected by the CBX-D5.
C TO HOST connector
An 8-pin mini DIN connector that allows direct connection to a computer that is running
CBX-D5 supporting software. This can be used when your computer does not have a
MIDI interface, i.e., MIDI input and output connections. See “TO HOST connection” on
page 30 for more details.
D TO HOST select switch
This switch setting depends on the type of computer connected to the “TO HOST”
connector. See “TO HOST connection” on page 30 for full details.
E SCSI connectors
Two 50-way Amphenol type connectors used to connect the CBX-D5 into the SCSI daisy
chain.
F SCSI ID selector
A thumb wheel type switch used to set the SCSI ID number of the CBX-D5. See “SCSI
ID setting” on page 16 for more details.
G Power inlet
A 3-pin power inlet socket. Connect the supplied power cable to this socket, then plug the
other end of the cable into an AC receptacle of the correct type.
NOTE:
Although not usually a problem on a small MIDI system, when more than
three MIDI devices are daisy chained together using MIDI IN and THRU
connections, MIDI data can sometimes be delayed, especially if you transmit
a lot of continuous controller data such as pitch bend or modulation wheel. If
MIDI delays do become a problem, use a MIDI THRU Box to distribute the
MIDI signal to each MIDI device.
NOTE:
The operation of the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT connections varies depending
on the position of the CBX-D5’s Host select switch. See “TO HOST
connection” on page 30 for full details.

5 Connecting Hard Disk Drives
Before connecting a hard disk drive, read through this chapter to familiarize yourself with
SCSI and how a SCSI daisy chain should be setup.
What type of hard disk?
If you don’t already have a hard disk or are thinking of buying a larger one, see the supplied
card for a listing of recommended disk drives.
Hard disk size
The following table shows approximate available recording times for various sizes of hard
disk. Available recording times are shown for all of the CBX-D5’s sampling frequencies,
and as you can see, with a higher sampling frequency – less time is available. This is
because using a high sampling frequency produces much more digital data, which means
a bigger sound file. See “Sampling frequency (REC FREQ)” on page 20 for more details
about selecting a sampling frequency.
Although it is doubtful that you will ever buy a hard disk smaller than 40MB for use with
the CBX-D5, the values below 40MB will be useful for checking the remaining record
time that is available on a hard disk that already contains some sound files.

Choosing a hard disk
If you plan to buy a hard disk that is not listed on the supplied card, the following
specifications should be checked first.
SCSI
For an general introduction to SCSI, see “SCSI” on page 3.
Setting up a SCSI daisy chain requires a little more than just making connections. SCSI
devices require ID numbers and the daisy chain must be terminated correctly. These are
explained in the following three sections, “SCSI cables”, “SCSI ID setting”, and “SCSI
termination”.
When using a SCSI daisy chain, the following points should be borne in mind.
Allocate each device its own SCSI ID number.
Terminate the SCSI bus correctly.
Use quality cables and keep the length down.
Use the little wire clips (or screws) on a SCSI connector to fasten the cable plugs
securely.
All devices connected in the daisy chain must be switched on to use the system.
Never switch off, or disconnect a device once the system has been switched on.
Specification Check Notes
Is it compatible with your computer?
Maybe it is advertised as compatible, or your
dealer recommends it.
Does it have two SCSI connectors? You need two to continue the SCSI daisy chain.
Are the SCSI connectors 25-pin
D-SUB, or 50-way Amphenol?
Macintosh computers are fitted with a 25-pin
D-SUB connector, while most other SCSI devices
have a 50-way Amphenol connector.
Are the SCSI cables supplied? If not, you will need to purchase them separately.
Can the SCSI ID be set from 0 ~ 7? (for
Macintosh you only need 0 ~ 6)
If not, it might clash with another device’s ID, in
which case you may have to rearrange the ID
numbers of some other SCSI devices in the
chain.
Does it have internal or external
termination?
External terminators are normally connected to
the rear of the SCSI device. If the device has an
internal terminator, make sure it can be switched
off so that any device can be positioned at the
end of the SCSI daisy chain.
Access Time?
Measured in milliseconds, this is an indication of
how fast data from different areas of the disk can
be retrieved. The maximum we recommend is
30ms. An access time slower than this may affect
the performance of the CBX-D5.
Data Transfer Rate?
Usually measured in Megabits per second
(Mbit/s), this shows how fast data can be written
to and read from the hard disk. The minimum we
recommend is 16Mbits/s. A transfer rate less than
this may affect the performance of the CBX-D5.
NOTE:
Switch off all your equipment before making any SCSI connections.
SCSI cables 15SCSI cables 15SCSI cables 15
SCSI cables
Most SCSI devices are supplied with a SCSI cable, but if you need to buy one, make sure
that it is designed for SCSI usage and that the connecters on either end of the cable are
correct for your application.
Cable length is an important issue, but it’s not the length of each individual SCSI cable,
it’s the total length of the SCSI daisy chain that must not exceed 6m (20ft).
Computer connection
Apple Macintosh
Apple Macintosh computers use a 25-pin D-SUB connector for the SCSI port, so use a
25-pin D-SUB to 50-way Amphenol type SCSI cable, usually supplied with an external
Macintosh hard disk drive.
Atari ST/STE
For Atari ST/STE computers, a Steinberg SCSI adaptor is required. This should be
connected to the Atari ST/STE’s “HARD DISK” port (DMA) using a 19-pin DSUB to
19-pin DSUB cable. An external hard disk drive can then be connected to the SCSI
adaptor’s SCSI connector using a 50-way to 25-pin SCSI cable.
Although it is possible to use just one external hard disk, it is highly recommended, for the
sake of data integrity, that you use at least two external hard disks: one disk for your
computer software and data such as Cubase Audio, MIDI song files, etc., and the other disk
purely for recording CBX-D5 sound files.
Atari TT
The Atari TT has a SCSI connection built-in, so a SCSI hard disk drive can be connected
directly.
Atari TT computers are fitted with an internal hard disk as standard. The internal disk
should be used for your computer software and data such as Cubase Audio, MIDI song
files, etc., and an external hard disk should be used purely for recording CBX-D5 sound
files. An external hard disk must be used with an Atari TT, because it supplies the
termination power that is required by the SCSI bus.
IBM PC/AT compatible
For an IBM PC/AT compatible computer, a SCSI adaptor card is required. This should be
installed into one of the computer’s internal expansion slots.
NOTE:
Some Atari ST/STE hard disk drives already contain a SCSI adaptor,
however, they cannot be used as a substitute for the Steinberg adaptor.

SCSI ID setting
The SCSI bus is a parallel type connection, and data on the bus is available to all devices.
However, communication will usually be between two devices only, so each device is
allocated an ID number, like an address number. In this way, only the device with the ID
number that is specified in the data will actually read and respond to the data.
If two devices share the same ID number, the system will probably crash, so make sure that
each device has its own ID number. SCSI devices usually have a DIP switch or, like the
CBX-D5, a thumb wheel switch for ID setting. Refer to the instructions supplied with your
particular SCSI device.
The Apple Macintosh example above shows six devices connected in a SCSI daisy chain
(seven including the computer). Each device has its own ID number. Note that the last
device in the chain is terminated. On a Apple Macintosh computer, SCSI ID 7 is reserved
for use by the computer, and ID 0 for the internal hard disk. Do not use either of these
IDs for any other SCSI device.
In the Atari ST/STE system shown above, five SCSI devices are connected in a daisy
chain. Hard disks must be set with continuous SCSI IDs starting from 0 (0, 1, 2, 3…).
However, the CBX-D5 can be set to SCSI ID 5 or 6. Do not set any device to SCSI ID 7.
In the Atari TT system shown above, six SCSI devices are connected in a daisy chain. Hard
disks must be set with continuous SCSI IDs starting from 1 (1, 2, 3, 4…). However, the
CBX-D5 can be set to SCSI ID 5 or 6. Do not set any device to SCSI ID 7.

SCSI termination
Unlike audio signals, digital signals only have two values: high and low (+5V and 0V).
When no data is being transmitted, it is important that SCSI bus lines are kept in the high
state (+5V), so that when data is transmitted there is a clear distinction between high and
low pulses and the data is transferred without error. To achieve this, a device known as a
SCSI terminator is connected in the SCSI daisy chain. A terminator is usually fitted to the
last device in the chain.
Some SCSI devices have a terminator built-in. In this case that device should be connected
at the end of the daisy chain. Other devices, like the CBX-D5, are supplied with an in-line
type terminator and this can be connected as shown below.
NOTE:
If the SCSI daisy chain is not terminated correctly, numerous problems
including data corruption, system crashes, and intermittent glitches can
occur. If you have just set up your SCSI daisy chain or have added a new
SCSI device to it and it is not working as it should, check that the SCSI daisy
chain is terminated correctly. If the problem persists, try connecting the SCSI
devices in a different order.

6 Working with Hard Disks
After connecting your hard disk, setting the SCSI ID, and installing the SCSI terminator,
you will need to format the hard disk before it can be used. If you have already powered
up your system you will notice that there isn’t a disk icon representing the new disk drive
on the desktop. This is because your computer could not mount the hard disk during
boot-up, due to it not being formatted.
Formatting
Most SCSI hard disks are supplied with their own disk formatting software, so please refer
to the hard disk’s Manual, and format the disk as specified.
Before disk formatting begins you will probably be asked to supply the SCSI ID of the
hard disk and maybe the required interleave value. The SCSI ID will be the number that
you set on that hard disk using its SCSI ID DIP switch or thumb wheel switch. If you have
to specify an interleave value, check the hard disk’s Manual. Also see the “Adding SCSI
disk drives” section of your computer manual.
When the disk has been formatted correctly and any supplied hard disk driver software has
been installed, a disk icon should appear on your computer’s desktop.
Sound file management
By double clicking on the disk’s icon you will be able to access sound files stored on the
disk. Sound files can be copied, deleted, size checked, etc., using the same menu
commands that you would use for your other computer files.
Sound file backup
Because the CBX-D5’s sound files can be managed just like your other computer files,
sound files can be backed up in much the same way using data compression and backup
utilities. However, due to the relatively large size of sound files, floppy disks are not the
most effective backup media. Removable hard disks and magneto optical disks are well
suited to this task and commonly available sizes include 44MB, 88MB, 128MB, and
650MB.
Another backup option is to digitally transfer your sound files to a DAT recorder. Then, if
you want them again in the future, just record them back to the CBX-D5.
Computer utilities
There are many computer utilities and desk accessories available for managing files and
hard disks such as a “file squashers”, “auto savers”, “hard disk size doublers”, etc. If you
choose to use a utility to work along side the CBX-D5, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN
RISK and no responsibility can be claimed for lost data, system crashes, and hardware
damage.
The CBX-D5 is designed to work with the software described in the System Setup Guide,
why risk losing your valuable audio data by using a “super disk space doubler”, or
“real-time data compressor”?
Hard disk fragmentation 19Hard disk fragmentation 19Hard disk fragmentation 19
Hard disk fragmentation
Hard disks record data into pre-formatted concentric tracks on a number of magnetic disks
that are mounted around a common spindle. Tracks are further divided into sectors, and
each sector can store 512bytes of data. On a newly formatted disk, files are recorded into
a continuous series of sectors as shown below.
As files are deleted and new files saved, files may be split (fragmented) over different areas
of the disk, losing the continuity of sectors. In this case, reading one file may cause the disk
drive to read sectors from many different parts of the disk, thus slowing down the overall
data read rate and making the disk drive work harder.
Disk defragmentation is quite important for hard disk audio recording, as it is better to
record data into a continuous series of empty hard disk sectors. If recording starts in an
empty sector, but then subsequent sectors in the series are used by another file, because
there is so much data being recorded, the disk drive does not have time to find, then move
to another area on the disk, so recording may stop.
This is not a problem with a completely empty disk, but if a sound file is deleted, the next
recording might start in the deleted space, and recording might stop because there is not
enough continuous empty sectors available. This will be more noticeable on a smaller hard
disk where you have to keep deleting unwanted sound files to make way for new
recordings.
The answer is to use a good hard disk defragmentation utility when a sound file has been
deleted. By defragmenting the disk, all sound files will be moved up to the front end of the
disk, leaving the available disk space as a series of continuous sectors at the end of the disk.
Hard disk partitioning
Because the CBX-D5 can read and write to any hard disk drive connected in the SCSI
chain, it is able to use individual partitions of a hard disk drive that has been partitioned.
However, the CBX-D5 cannot record across hard disks or partitions, so the available
recording time will be limited to the size of the partition.
NOTE:
The time available for all recordings is not limited by the size of a hard disk
partition, it is the time available for one continuous recording, or one take
that is limited.

7 Recording
Sampling frequency (REC FREQ)
The CBX-D5 can record at any one of four sampling frequencies: 48kHz, 44.1kHz, 32kHz
(as specified by the AES), or 22.05kHz (analog input only). These sampling frequencies
are commonly used for digital audio, and each has its own specific applications.
The sampling frequency is set by the controlling software and the CBX-D5’s front panel
REC FREQ indicators show the selected frequency. The selected REC FREQ also
determines the clock rate for all internal processing, i.e., DSP, digital mixer, DEQ, etc.,
except for the output Fs converters, whose clock rate is determined by the PB FREQ.
48kHz
At 48kHz an audio bandwidth of about 22kHz is possible. Consumer DAT and DCC
recorders can record at 48kHz only. Professional equipment also supports this frequency.
44.1kHz
With this sampling frequency an audio bandwidth of about 20kHz is possible. This
frequency is used for all prerecorded CDs, DATs (if there are any), and DCC cassettes.
Although a higher audio bandwidth is possible using 48kHz, 44.1kHz is considered to be
good enough for most applications, and most professional digital audio engineers use this
sampling frequency.
32kHz
At this sampling frequency an audio bandwidth of about 15kHz is possible. This frequency
is widely used for broadcast applications where a 15kHz audio bandwidth, roughly that of
FM radio, is acceptable. Many DSB (Direct Satellite Broadcasting) transmissions use this
frequency, although, some may also use 48kHz.
22.05kHz
At this frequency an audio bandwidth of about 10kHz is available. This frequency is
widely used in multimedia applications. It might not seem very useful for your audio
applications, but if you are limited by hard disk space or the audio material you are
recording already has a limited bandwidth it may be useful.
Which sampling frequency?
Since the CBX-D5 contains a sampling frequency converter, digital audio can be output at
a different sampling frequency to that which was used during recording. However, playing
back a sound file at a higher sampling frequency will not improve the audio quality, as the
audio frequency bandwidth of a sound file is determined by the record sampling frequency,
not the playback frequency.
This leaves you with two deciding factors for choosing a sampling frequency. Firstly, what
audio bandwidth (audio quality) do you want to use, and secondly, how much free disk
space is available? See “Hard disk size” on page 13 for a listing of recording times that are
available at each sampling frequency for a given size of hard disk (free disk space).
Varispeed
With some tape based digital recorders it is possible to vary the speed of playback and
recording. When varispeed is used the sampling frequency of the digital audio is changed.
Since the CBX-D5 can playback digital audio at a sampling frequency different to that
used for recording, varispeed digital audio can be recorded.
NOTE:
When using the digital inputs, you should set the CBX-D5’s REC FREQ to
match the digital input signal’s sampling frequency. It is not essential, but we
recommend it.
Digital input levels 21Digital input levels 21Digital input levels 21
Digital input levels
Digital input signals entering the CBX-D5 cannot be level adjusted. This is the same for
most digital audio equipment, the idea being that once the level has been set during the
original A/D conversion it should not need readjustment. It also simplifies the interfacing
of digital audio signals between equipment.
The level of the audio signal output via the CBX-D5’s digital outputs, however, can be
level adjusted, and this is set by the controlling software.
Setting the analog input level
The recording level for analog input signals can be set using the CBX-D5’s ANALOG IN
LEVEL controls. These controls allows independent level setting for channels 1 and 2 and
they can also be used to balance the left and right channels of a stereo source connected to
the analog inputs. The maximum analog input level is +22dBm.
These controls should be used in conjunction with the input level meters, which are
described below.
Input level meters
Unlike analog tape recorders, digital audio recorders are very unforgiving when it comes
to excessive signal levels. Digital audio signal clipping normally produces unpleasant
distortion, pops, and clicks, and unless you have some very sophisticated editing
equipment it is impossible to remove it after the event. So great care must be taken when
setting the recording level.
With a digital audio recorder such as the CBX-D5, noise and hiss produced by setting the
recording level too low is not a problem. However, setting the recording level too low will
reduce the effective dynamic range of the recording and with a dynamic range of 96dB
*
available it makes sense to use as much of it as possible.
Basically, the recording level should set so that the loudest signals light the –3, –6, –9
LEDs, but never light the CLIP LEDs. When recording with microphones, where sudden
signal increases are possible, it may be worth having a “dry run” before you hit the record
button. A compressor is a useful tool when recording vocals and acoustic instruments.
Headphone monitoring
During recording and playback, the four audio channels can be monitored using a pair of
stereo headphones. Headphones should be connected to the PHONES jack on the front
panel. The volume can be adjusted using the PHONES VOLUME control.
As you can see from the diagram below, channels 1 and 3 appear in the left speaker and
channels 2 and 4 in the right speaker.
* 96dB is the dynamic range available with a 16-bit digital system (6dB per bit).

Digital audio data containing SCMS
SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) is a protection system designed to stop illegal
digital copying of audio material. When a SCMS DAT recorder (most consumer DAT
recorders) receives a digital input signal with the copy protect flag set to “protect”, it
cannot enter record mode, making digital tape duplication impossible.
If a digital signal that contains SCMS is input to the CBX-D5 it will not prevent the
CBX-D5 from recording. The digital audio will be recorded in a sound file without SCMS.
When digital audio data containing SCMS is input into the CBX-D5, and the output format
(set from the host computer) is set to Professional, output from the digital output jacks may
be muted. When the output format is set to Consumer however, the digital and analog
outputs will be unaffected.
It is possible to record a copyrighted musical composition, edit it and replay it with the
CBX-D5. However, the user will be held responsible for its use.
Digital audio data with emphasis
For some recordings, emphasis is applied to a digital audio signal. During playback, this
emphasis is automatically detected by the replay device and de-emphasis applied. You
may have seen the word EMPHASIS appear on a CD player or DAT recorder when a
prerecorded disc or tape with emphasis was played back.
The CBX-D5 has no emphasis functions, so if a digital signal that has been emphasized
is input to the CBX-D5 it will not automatically be de-emphasized and the CBX-D5 will
record the signal with the emphasis. During playback, a slight boosting of frequencies
above 3.5kHz will be noticeable.
20-bit digital audio
Some CD players are now 20-bit and there is a small but growing selection of 20-bit CD
recordings available. Some 20-bit recorders are already being used for professional
applications including Yamaha’s DMR8 and DRU8 recorders, which have always offered
20-bit recording.
If a 20-bit digital signal is input to the CBX-D5, it will be converted to a 16-bit signal
before recording. For the technically minded, 4-bits, starting from the LSB (Least
Significant Bit) will be chopped off.
NOTE:
SCMS does not affect recordings made using analog connections, and it is only
second generation digital copying (copy of a copy) that is prohibited.
Playback 23Playback 23Playback 23

Playback frequency (PB FREQ)
During playback, sound files are read from disk, processed in the CBX-D5, then output.
The CBX-D5 can read sound files that were recorded at sampling frequencies between
11.025kHz and 48kHz. Once inside the CBX-D5, the data is processed at the currently set
REC FREQ. Then it is output to the digital outputs at a rate determined by the PB FREQ,
and to the analog outputs after analog to digital conversion.
The CBX-D5 can output digital audio at one of two sampling frequencies: 44.1kHz and
48kHz. The playback frequency is set by the controlling software and the CBX-D5’s PB
FREQ indicators show the selection.
The choice of playback frequency will usually be determined by the sampling frequency
of the device to which the digital audio is being sent, i.e., a DAT recorder, DCC recorder,
digital mixer, etc. There is nothing to be gained by playing a 44.1kHz recorded sound file
at 48kHz, and little to be lost by playing a 48kHz recorded sound file at 44.1kHz.
Output level meters
The four output level meters show the output level of each channel. The output level of
each channel can be controlled by the controlling software. The maximum output level is
+18dBm. So an analog output signal of about +18dBm will light the CLIP LED.
Sound file playback compatibility
As well as its own sound files, the CBX-D5 can also playback the following sound file
formats. These sound file formats are often used with the Apple Macintosh computer.
Sound Designer
Sound Designer II (mono and stereo)
Audio IFF (Interchange File Format)
The CBX-D5 can record and playback mono and stereo 2-channel interleave files.
4-channel interleave files can be played back only.
NOTE:
When the CBX-D5 is used with an external word clock, the digital outputs will
operate at the same frequency as the external word clock and that frequency
will not be indicated by the “PB FREQ” indicators.

9 Converting the Sampling Frequency & Digital
Audio Format in Real Time
When transferring digital audio data between equipment, it is sometimes necessary to
convert from one digital audio format to another, say from CD/DAT to AES/EBU, or Y2
to CD/DAT. The CBX-D5 allows you to convert the digital audio format between
CD/DAT, AES/EBU, and Y2 in real time.
Real time means that you don’t actually have to record the digital audio, you just input it
to the CBX-D5, the CBX-D5 converts it, then outputs it for record monitoring.
As well as the digital audio format, the CBX-D5 also allows you to convert from one
sampling frequency to another, say from 44.1kHz to 48kHz or vice versa. Sampling
frequency conversion is useful if you have some DAT tapes, maybe masters, recorded at
48kHz and you want to transfer them directly to a CD disc recorder that will only accept
digital audio data at 44.1kHz.
Digital input and output source, record and playback sampling frequency settings are all
made via the controlling software, so you will need to refer to your Software Manuals. The
diagram below shows the conversion possibilities.
In the system shown below, 48kHz data from DAT recorder No. 1 is fed to the CBX-D5
using the CD/DAT connections. The CBX-D5 converts the sampling frequency to
44.1kHz, then outputs the data to DAT recorder No. 2 via the AES/EBU connections.
NOTE:
In this configuration, SCMS and emphasis information will pass through the
CBX-D5 and will be output unchanged.

10 Inputs & Outputs Explained
ANALOG IN
A pair of female XLR 3-31 type connectors used for inputting analog audio signals. These
are balanced inputs with a nominal input level of +4dBm and a maximum input level of
+22dBm. These inputs are intended for use with balanced line level signals, i.e., from a
mixer, synthesizer, drum machine, etc. Microphones, guitars, and equipment with an
output level less than –20dBm must first be connected to a preamplifier, then to the
CBX-D5.
The illustration below shows how an XLR to XLR type cable is wired.
XLR to XLR cable
XLR to phone jack cable
Although balanced, these inputs can be used with unbalanced signals. The diagram below
shows how a balanced XLR to unbalanced phone jack connecting cable should be wired.
ANALOG OUT
Four male XLR 3-32 type connectors used for outputting channels 1 ~ 4 as analog audio.
These are balanced outputs with a nominal output level of 0dBm and a maximum output
level of +17dBm. These could be connected to the inputs of a mixer, amplifier, tape
recorder, DAT recorder, etc.
Cable wiring is the same as the “XLR to XLR cable” shown above. Connection to
unbalanced inputs is also possible by using an XLR to phone jack cable like the one shown
above. Note, however, that a 3-pin female XLR line socket would be used, not a 3-pin male
XLR plug as shown in the illustration.
NOTE:
You may buy your XLR connecting cables or you may decide to make your
own, either way always use good quality connectors and cable.

AES/EBU IN 1/2
A female XLR 3-31 type connector for inputting AES/EBU format digital audio. This is a
balanced type connection and two channels, 1 and 2, are carried in the same connection.
This connection could be used when recording digital audio data from another hard disk
recorder, a digital mixer, DAT recorder, or digital VTR. The AES/EBU format is used
mainly on professional digital audio equipment.
Although an XLR to XLR type connecting cable is required, the recommended cable
impedance is different to that of typical audio XLR type connecting cables. You may find
that typical audio XLR type cables work successfully, but to eliminate any risk of data
corruption it is best to use a cable that is specifically made for use with the AES/EBU
format. The recommended cable impedance for AES/EBU is 110.
AES/EBU OUT 1/2, 3/4
Two male XLR 3-32 type connectors for outputting AES/EBU format digital audio.
Channels 1 and 2 are output via OUT 1/2, and channels 3 and 4 through OUT 3/4. These
connections could be used to transfer digital audio data from the CBX-D5 to professional
digital audio equipment.
Here again, it is best to use a cable that is specifically made for use with the AES/EBU
format. Follow the same recommendations given above for the AES/EBU IN connection.
CD/DAT IN
A Phono/RCA jack for inputting CD/DAT format digital audio. Two channels, 1 and 2
(left, right), are carried in the same connection. This connection could be connected to the
digital output of a CD player or DAT recorder and allows digital audio recording without
multiple D/A, A/D audio data conversions. Some MIDI samplers are fitted with this type
of connection. In this case, sound samples could be transferred digitally between a sampler
and the CBX-D5. The CD/DAT format is found mainly on consumer type digital audio
equipment, although, most professional digital audio equipment supports it, too.
Phono/RCA type cables and connectors are commonly used for hi-fi equipment, however,
there are connecting cables designed specifically for use with the CD/DAT format and
wherever possible they should be used.
CD/DAT OUT
A Phono/RCA jack for outputting CD/DAT format digital audio. Two channels, 1 and 2
(left/right), are carried in the same connection. This could be connected to the digital input
of a DAT recorder or DCC recorder, and it allows digital audio recording without multiple
D/A, A/D audio data conversions.
Like the CD/DAT IN connection, it’s best to use cables specifically made for the job.
NOTE:
You might have heard or read that AES/EBU type connections can be
connected directly to CD/DAT connections and vice versa. In some cases this
may work, but it is not recommended. To ensure data integrity, connect
AES/EBU outputs to AES/EBU inputs, and CD/DAT inputs to CD/DAT
outputs.
28 Chapter 10 : Inputs & Outputs Explained28 Chapter 10 : Inputs & Outputs Explained28 Chapter 10 : Inputs & Outputs Explained
Y2 IN
An 8-pin DIN socket for inputting Y2 Yamaha format digital audio. Two channels, 1 and
2 (left/right), are carried in the same connection. This could be connected to one of
Yamaha’s digital audio products including the DMR8 Digital Mixer/Recorder, DMC1000
Digital Mixing Console, DRU8 Digital Recorder, SPX1000 Effect Processor, and the
DMP series of Digital Mixers.
Special cables are available for use with this format. See your Yamaha dealer for details.
Y2 OUT
An 8-pin DIN socket for outputting Y2 Yamaha format digital audio. Two channels, 1 and
2 (left/right), are carried in the same connection. This could be used to transfer digital
audio data from the CBX-D5 to one of the Yamaha professional digital audio products
listed above.
Again, use the cables specifically recommended for use with the Y2 format.
WORD CLK IN/OUT
As we explained on page 4, when a number of digital audio devices are connected together
and data is digitally transferred between them, it is essential that the data processing
circuits of all devices are synchronized. To achieve this, one device operates as a word
clock master and all other devices operate as word clock slaves.
If you connect only two digital audio devices, say the CBX-D5 to a DAT recorder, word
clock setup is quite straight forward and no external word clock connections will be
required. This is because the AES/EBU, CD/DAT, and Y2 formats carry word clock
information within the digital audio data. However, when three or more devices are
connected in a digital system, word clock connections will be required.
The CBX-D5 can operate as either word clock master, using its own internal clock, or as
a slave sourcing its word clock from one of the digital inputs or from the WORD CLK IN
connection. This setting is made via the controlling software. The CBX-D5’s word clock
output signal is always at the same frequency as the digital outputs.
NOTE:
If all your audio connections are analog, no word clock connections are
required.
NOTE:
Although we have said that a word clock connection is not required when
only two devices are used, some devices may require a BNC word clock
connection as well as the digital audio connection. Making a separate
connection using the CBX-D5’s BNC connectors may also improve data
transfer and eliminate any chance of data errors.
NOTE:
Because the CBX-D5 can convert the sampling frequency of incoming
digital audio signals, the word clock output signal will not necessarily match
the recording sampling frequency.
WORD CLK IN/OUT 29WORD CLK IN/OUT 29WORD CLK IN/OUT 29
The following table shows how the WORD CLK IN/OUT connections work with each
word clock source. Word clock connections use coaxial BNC to BNC type cables.
If, for some reason the external word clock source should become disconnected or the
CBX-D5 cannot synchronize to it, the CBX-D5 will automatically switch to internal clock.
When the digital output signal is synced to an external word clock, the exact sampling
frequency cannot be guaranteed. So the sampling frequency specified in the digital
output’s channel status bits may be different to the actual output sampling frequency.
In the following example, data from the four CBX-D5 channels are being transferred to a
digital mixer, which is also connected to a Yamaha DRU8 8-Track Digital Recorder. The
DRU8 is word clock master supplying both the CBX-D5 and the DMC1000 Digital Mixer.
In this system, the external word clock connections are essential.
In this example, audio data from two DAT recorders is being mixed via a digital mixer.
DAT No. 1 does not have any word clock connections, so the digital audio is fed to the
CBX-D5 first, then to the digital mixer. The CBX-D5 generates a word clock signal based
on the data from DAT No. 1 and feeds this signal to DAT No. 2, which syncs to the external
wordclock. The digital mixer derives its word clock from the AES/EBU inputs.

11 TO HOST connection
As well as the standard MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU connections, the CBX-D5 also has a
“TO HOST” connection. This allows direct connection to computers that do not have a
built-in or external MIDI interface.
The CBX-D5 has four interface modes for connecting to a controlling computer: MIDI,
Mac, PC-1, and PC-2. These interface modes are explained below.
MIDI
This mode is for use with a computer that has a MIDI interface. That is, a computer with
a built-in MIDI interface, such as the Atari ST, STE, and TT range of computers, an Apple
Macintosh computer with an external MIDI interface unit, or a PC-9801 or IBM PC/AT
compatible type computer fitted with a MIDI interface. Most MIDI music software can be
used with this type of connection.
The “HOST SELECT” switch should be set to MIDI.
The connecting MIDI cable should be of the type described in the “TO HOST computer
connecting cables” on page 33.
The table below explains how the MIDI signals are handled in MIDI mode.

that greatly improves a digital audio system’s performance
by using a very high sampling frequency and a 1-bit
resolution.
DEQ: (Digital Equalizer) An IC (Integrated Circuit)
designed specifically for equalizing digital audio data. The
CBX-D5’s DEQ IC is made by Yamaha.
Destructive editing: Editing an original recording that
cannot be recovered if you make a bad edit. For example,
razor blade editing a tape.
Digital Performer: An integrated MIDI sequencer, digital
audio recording and editing program that can be used to
control the CBX-D5 via an Apple Macintosh computer.
DMA: (Direct Memory Access) The ability to transfer data
to and from a system’s RAM without involving the CPU.
The Atari ST/STE computer has a DMA port.
DMA to SCSI Controller II: A hardware device made
by Steinberg that allows the connection of SCSI devices to
the DMA port of an Atari ST or STE.
DSP: (Digital Signal Processor) An IC (Integrated Circuit)
designed specifically for digital audio data processing. The
CBX-D5 uses the same Yamaha DSP IC as those used in
the SPX900 Multi-effect Processor and the DMR8 Digital
Mixer/Recorder.
Emphasis: Before A/D conversion a 6dB/octave boost
starting at 3.5kHz is applied to the audio signal. During D/A
conversion the emphasis is automatically detected by the
replay device and de-emphasis is applied.
Fragmentation: When a file is split into sections and
stored in different areas of a hard disk, i.e., in an
uncontinuous series of sectors.
Host connection: Used to connect the CBX-D5 to a
computer that does not have a MIDI interface. Connection
is made directly to one of the computer’s serial ports.
Mark of the Unicorn Digital Performer: A program
that integrates MIDI sequencing, digital audio recording and
editing and can be used to control the CBX-D5 via an Apple
Macintosh computer.
MIDI: (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) MIDI
allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with
each other.
MTC: (MIDI Timecode) The transmission of SMPTE
timecode via MIDI.
Nondestructive editing: As opposed to editing analog
tape, which is a once only – get it right first time or else
procedure, hard disk recording allows nondestructive
editing. This means when you edit, you don’t actually edit
the sound file, you edit information that tells the CBX-D5
how to play the sound file. So if you make an accidental cut
or split, all is not lost because you still have the original
sound file.
Nyquist frequency: The audio frequency at which very
sharp low pass filtering is applied to an analog signal before
A/D conversion. The nyquist theorem states that the
sampling frequency of a digital audio system must be at least
twice that of the highest audio frequency, otherwise severe
distortion called aliasing will occur.
Oversampling: A technique used to improve the noise and
distortion performance of a digital audio system by
increasing the effective sampling frequency so that the
nyquist frequency is set much higher than the highest audio
frequency.
PCM: (Pulse code modulation) The type of coding used to
represent analog audio as a series of pulses. The amplitude
of each pulse is stored as a binary word. The CBX-D5 uses
16-bit binary words.
Region: A section of a sound file that can be handled as an
independent piece of sound data, but is in fact identified
using start and end pointers to a region of a sound file
RS-232C: A serial communication protocol used on PC
compatible and Atari ST/STE computers, usually a 9- or
25-pin D-SUB type connector.
Glossary 35Glossary 35Glossary 35
RS-422: A balanced serial communication protocol used on
Macintosh computers, usually an 8-pin mini DIN connector.
Sampling frequency: The number of times per second
that sample measurements of an analog audio signal are
taken during A/D conversion. Typical sampling frequencies
are 32kHz, 44.1kHz, and 48kHz.
SCMS: (Serial Copy Management System) A protection
code designed to stop illegal digital copying of audio
material. When a consumer type DAT recorder receives a
digital input signal that contains SCMS, it cannot enter
record mode, so digital copying is impossible.
Serial port: A computer connection that can receive and
transmit computer data serially (RS-232C or RS-422).
SCSI: (Small Computer Systems Interface) Pronounced
Scuzzy, it is a connection format used for connecting
peripheral devices such as hard disks, printers, scanners, etc.,
to a computer. Up to eight SCSI devices can be connected
together in a daisy chain, with the controlling computer
connected at the end of the chain. See “SCSI” on page 3.
SCSI ID: The identifying address number allocated to each
device in a SCSI daisy chain. IDs from 0 to 7 are available.
See “SCSI ID setting” on page 16.
SCSI terminator: A device connected at the end of a
SCSI daisy chain to stabilize the SCSI bus. See “SCSI
termination” on page 17.
SMPTE timecode: A bi-phase code used to synchronize
audio and video equipment by communicating hours,
minutes, seconds, and frame information.
Sound file: A type of computer file that contains digital
audio data.
Soundbite: A term used by Mark of the Unicorn’s Digital
Performer software to describe a section of a sound file that
can be handled as an independent piece of sound data, but is
in fact identified using start and end pointers to a region of a
sound file.
Sound Designer files: A type of sound file that is used by
various Apple Macintosh and Digi Design digital audio
devices. There are two types of file: I & II.
S/PDIF: (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format) A digital
interface format established by Sony and Philips that is used
to transfer digital audio data between consumer type digital
audio equipment such as CD players, consumer DAT
recorders, and the new DCC recorders. Two channels of
digital audio (left & right) are carried in one connection,
usually a phono/RCA jack type connection. On the CBX-D5
this format is referred to as CD/DAT.
Steinberg Cubase Audio: A program that integrates
MIDI sequencing, digital audio recording, and editing and
can be used to control the CBX-D5 via an Atari ST/STE or
TT type computer.
Time slip: The ability to move individual segments of
audio data relative to time.
Transfer rate: Usually measured in Megabits per second
(Mbit/s), this shows how fast data can be written to and read
from a hard disk.
Word clock: A clock signal that is used to synchronize the
data processing circuits of all devices connected in a digital
audio system. See “Word clock” on page 4.
Y2: A digital interface format developed by Yamaha that is
used to transfer digital audio data between Yamaha’s
professional digital audio equipment. Two channels of
digital audio (left & right) are carried in one connection,
usually an 8-pin DIN type connection. See “Y2 format” on
page 3.

MIDI Data Format
1. Block Diagram of MIDI Reception/Transmission
<MIDI Reception Conditions>
*
If the Host Selector switch is set to anything other than “MIDI”, the MIDI data are echoed back to HOST IN
MIDI OUT and MIDI IN HOST OUT, respectively.
<MIDI Transmission Conditions>
*
If the Host Selector switch is set to anything other than “MIDI”, the MIDI data are echoed back to HOST IN
MIDI OUT and MIDI IN HOST OUT, respectively.
2. Channel Messages
Channel messages are not transmitted or received.
If the Host Selector switch is set to anything other than “MIDI”, the MIDI data are echoed back to HOST
IN MIDI OUT and MIDI IN HOST OUT, respectively.
3. System Messages
The CBX-D5 handles System Exclusive messages like those below.
Digital Track Message (Note 1)
(Note 1) The Digital Track Message (hereafter referred to as DT) is comprised of the Yamaha System Exclu-
sive ID and a Digital Track Command, and is a System Exclusive message.
The Digital Track Messages used with this equipment are formatted as shown below.

*1 <ab>
(See Table 1 for DT command formats.)
*2 data bytes
The format and length vary depending on the DT status byte.
The first byte of the DT message is the channel number (It is usually from 0 to 3).
Several DT commands may be contained in one DT message.
The EOX (F7) command is used at the end of the DT message.
From a standpoint of error correction, we recommend inserting breaks in DT messages at 100 ms intervals.

2.1 parameter dump
CAUTION: When recording to a hard disk, one unit is used for multi-channel recording/
playback. For this reason, parameters are separated into Common and
Channel parameters. The parameter addresses used are as follows:
Channel parameter base address = h'0
Common parameter base address = h'2000
DT status (MS 3 bits) Sub status (LS 4 bits)
