Operational Flow - Yamaha mLAN Owner's Manual

Operational Flow

1. Connect the computer and mLAN devices using the IEEE1394 cables.
2. Start mLAN Graphic Patchbay (page 6).
3. Set up wordclock on the mLAN network (page 25).
4. Configure the routing of audio and MIDI signals on the mLAN network (page 25).
5. Specify the audio and MIDI inputs and outputs as per the owner's manual for your
DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), audio sequencer, and/or connected devices.
For subsequent steps, refer to the owner's manual for the software and connected devices.

• To set the number of audio channels for mLAN transmission
• To change the nickname for the mLAN devices (nodes) or connectors .......................See page 21.
• To set the mLAN Driver Setup parameters .....................................................................See page 20.
• To change the latency ..................................... See the section regarding connecting the computer
• If the computer and mLAN devices are unable to communicate .................................See page 41.
■ If multiple IEEE1394 interface cards have been installed on the computer:
mLAN Graphic Patchbay cannot simultaneously operate mLAN devices connected to multiple
IEEE1394 interface cards.
• Windows
Before you start mLAN Graphic Patchbay, select in the mLAN Driver Setup window the IEEE1394
interface card you wish to use (page 20).
• Macintosh
Connect an mLAN device to a single IEEE1394 interface card.
If multiple IEEE1394 cards have been installed in the computer, a computer node for each card will
be displayed in the Graphic Patchbay screen. However, you can make an mLAN connection (page 25)
only for the node representing the card that is connected to an mLAN device.
To find out which IEEE1394 card (connected to an mLAN device) corresponds to which node, check
the [Vendor] name displayed in [1394 Adapter Card ID] in "mLAN Driver Setup." (page 20)
If you cannot make an mLAN connection for some reason, make sure that the
NOTE
IEEE1394 card (connected to the mLAN device) has been selected in the OMS
Setup and ASIO mLAN Control Panel windows. (Refer to "Changing the
Settings after Installation" and "OMS Setup" in the Installation Guide.)
