Introduction
The XI-WSG is an expansion interface that adds SoundGrid input/output to the Roland M-5000 and M-5000C mixing consoles. Installing the XI-WSG
makes it possible to use Waves plug-in eects that utilize the Waves SoundGrid system.
About This Document
This guide describes the basic operations for using Waves MultiRack SoundGrid to congure a Waves SoundGrid system that utilizes the
M-5000/M-5000C.
About the Operation of Waves Products
For detailed information on how to operate MultiRack SoundGrid, refer to the "WAVES MultiRack USER GUIDE" (PDF) available from Waves.
Also, the procedures for creating a Waves account, registering and using Waves applications, and other operations described in this guide are
those in eect when this guide was published. For the latest information, check the Waves website (http://www.waves.com/).

Preparing the Necessary Equipment and Waves Applications
This section describes how to prepare the required equipment and Waves applications for conguring a Waves SoundGrid system.
Hardware
5 Mixing console: Roland M-5000/M-5000C
5 XI-WSG: This is installed on the M-5000/M-5000C to add SoundGrid input/output. This makes it possible to use Waves
plug-in eects that utilize the Waves SoundGrid system.
5 Waves SoundGrid DSP server: This is the computer used to operate the Waves SoundGrid plug-ins. When conguring a redundant system,
have two servers on hand.
5 Computer (host): This is the computer for running MultiRack SoundGrid and other Waves applications.
* To check the operating environment for the computer, see the Waves website (http://www.waves.com/).
5 Ethernet cable: This is used to connect SoundGrid-compatible devices to one another. Use an Ethernet cable rated at Cat5e
(Category 5e) or higher.
5 USB ash drive:

* Have this on hand as required.
Software/Waves Applications
5 Waves Central: This is an application for installing and activating Waves products, and for managing their licenses (p. 6).
5 MultiRack SoundGrid V9: This is a host application for controlling SoundGrid-compatible plug-ins (p. 5, 7).
5 V9 plug-in: This is a plug-in compatible with MultiRack SoundGrid V9.
* The V9 plug-in does not come with the XI-WSG, and must be purchased separately.
5 XI-WSG driver: This is an audio driver that is required for operating the XI-WSG (p. 5, 7).
5 SoundGrid driver: This is an audio driver that is compatible with ASIO and Core Audio. It is required for accomplishing recording
