Overview

Yamaha

Designed by Rain and Waves. Design engineers from Rain and Waves worked together to create a an integrated, audio processing solution for the Waves SoundGrid system.

Yamaha live sound. ORIGIN SG1 is engineered for the ultimate power and stability with Yamaha digital sound technology. Add a WSG Y16 card to your Yamaha digital console and you're ready to experience ORIGIN.

Four cores and more. At the heart of ORIGIN is a high performance, quad-core processor by Intel. Its all the power you need for high performance and low latency as you add more and more effects.

Industrial strength Quiet Cool. Intelligent cooling and a balanced component architecture combine to reduce data bottlenecks, keep the heat and noise to a minimum and ensure reliable performance.

High speed data transfer. ORIGIN communicates with the rest of your SoundGrid system through gigabit ethernet. High bandwidth data streaming means glitch-free distributive processing you can rely on.

Waves SoundGrid

About The Wave SoundGrid System

SoundGrid is an Audio-over-Ethernet networking and processing technology developed by Waves. SoundGrid provides extremely low latency, high channel- count Waves audio processing using high performance processors and gigabit Ethernet networks for live sound and other real-time professional audio applications. Real- time audio processing is performed on the Rain ORIGIN Processor Engine, running a Waves-customized real-time version of Linux.

Taking advantage of today's extraordinary CPU power and the memory capabilities of Native processing, SoundGrid runs on high performance CPUs under a custom optimized Linux OS, resulting in predictability, stability, and low latency that was previously exclusive to dedicated DSP-based systems. Consequently, SoundGrid can run large numbers of Waves plug-ins, as well as extremely CPU-intensive plug-ins that are beyond the capabilities of DSP-based systems.

SoundGrid Key Benefits:

  • Provides low latency platform for running Waves plug-ins
  • Uses standard, off-the-shelf components: computers, switches, servers, Ethernet cables, etc.
  • Integration with analog and digital mixing consoles
  • Provides a complete Redundancy & Recovery system
  • Upcoming SoundGrid versions will implement recording capabilities

SoundGrid Applications:

  • Live sound and touring
  • Centralized processing hub for mixing, post production and broadcast facilities
  • Networked audio for sound installations

Designed for Waves SoundGrid

Rain and Waves have teamed up to design ORIGIN, a high performance processor engine for the Waves SoundGrid System. ORIGIN gives you the power to run multiple instances of your plug-ins with extremely low latency. Quiet Cool Design means intelligent cooling and a balanced component architecture for low heat, low noise operation free from glitches and dropouts. Combine ORIGIN with a Rain LiveBook running Waves MultiRack software for a complete live sound solution you can rely on for incredible sound and awesome performance.

Mission Critical Performance

When there are thousands of people in the house and the band is rockin', you can't afford to have your system go down. That's why Rain has engineered ORIGIN for high reliability as well as high performance. Tireless testing and certification makes ORIGIN a tightly integrated part of the SoundGrid system. And you can add additional ORIGIN Processor Engines for additional processing and redundant backup systems.
