Using Mlan - Yamaha S90 ES Owner's Manual

Using mLAN

Using mLAN
The mLAN interface is a powerful and flexible system that allows you to set up complex audio/MIDI routings through the use
of a standard IEEE 1394 connection—eliminating the need for dozens of audio and MIDI cables, as was necessary on
earlier conventional systems.
By installing the optional mLAN16E, you can directly connect the S90 ES to a computer or another mLAN device, and take
advantage of high-speed audio and MIDI data transfer between the devices with just a single IEEE 1394 cable. Special
software is also available, letting you easily change the audio and MIDI signal routing among several mLAN devices from
your computer.

of the S90 ES to the audio inputs of the
computer.
From the software patch bay, connect output channels 15
and 16 of the mLAN16E to any two channels of the
computer. For details, refer to the mLAN16E installation
guide and Graphic Patchbay PDF manual.

The audio signals from playing keyboard in the Voice mode are
sent from output channels 15 and 16 of the mLAN 16E. Refer to the
next section "mLAN Audio/MIDI" signal routing.
Enable the mLAN input channels in the audio
4
device settings in the sequencer.
Refer to the owner's manual of your sequencer for details.
Recording the audio
After completing the setup described above, try recording
your keyboard performance to the computer by using the
sequencer software. For specific information, refer to the
owner's manual of your particular sequencer.
You can also follow this procedure to record the MIDI
data. However, you must set the MIDI connections on
the mLAN Auto Conenctor or Graphic Patchbay, and
make the appropriate MIDI device settings on your
sequenecer.
