The Y96K is a high performance DSP card that adds Waves' world renowned signal processors to compatible Yamaha digital consoles and workstations. Waves is the quality standard for thousands of top industry professionals and the Y96K makes this technology available to Yamaha users by combining the best of hardware and software technologies. With the Y96K there is no longer any reason for hardware users to be envious of computer based plug-in effects. The interface design uses the same innovative user interface concepts familiar to Waves users.

Slide the Y96K card into a mini-YGDAI slot found on the Yamaha host model, and a whole new world of signal processing becomes available either for music production or live mixing. The Y96K processor package contains many of WAVES' "greatest hits", including Waves Renaissance Compressor and EQ, TrueVerb reverb, L1 Ultramaximizer, SuperTap delay, and DeEsser. These processors are all available in addition to your on-board effects. What's more, the following additional processors are scheduled to be released for Y96K in 4Q 2004; L2- Ultramazimizer, Renaissance Vox, Renaissance Bass, with more to follow later. Y96K users can purchase these new plug-in effects from Waves site by download.
