Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha mLAN16E.
The mLAN16E is an expansion board that features an mLAN interface. mLAN is a digital
network designed for music and is based on the IEEE1394 high performance serial bus
and data communication protocol. mLAN makes it easy to construct sophisticated net-
works for IEEE1394 (FireWire/i.LINK) audio and MIDI signals without having to re-con-
figure the cabling, as was necessary in older, conventional systems.
The mLAN16E adds two mLAN connectors to an mLAN16E-compatible device, such as
the Yamaha MOTIF ES music production synthesizer.
In order to take full advantage of the mLAN16E’s functionality, please read this manual
carefully. After reading this manual, please keep it available for future reference.

Fundamentals of mLAN
mLAN is a digital network for music that was developed based on IEEE1394, an indus-
try-standard high-performance data communications protocol.
Digital music environments that do not feature mLAN require dozens of cables for vari-
ous devices and purposes, including MIDI cables and audio cables to route MIDI and
audio signals. If you wish to make changes to such systems, you must physically discon-
nect and re-connect these cables.
For example, adding another synthesizer to a system requires two MIDI cables and two
or more cables for audio (for stereo equipment). Making the appropriate connections
may require special knowledge of inputs, outputs, stereo settings, and perhaps connec-
tor impedance.
5
English
The larger the system, the more complicated and expensive these connections
become, increasing the likelihood of errors and difficulties. It takes time and effort to
investigate such errors and their underlying causes. You may have already experienced
the unpleasantness of tracking various cables through a spider’s web of connections.
mLAN simplifies cable connections by using only one type of IEEE1394 cable, thus
enabling you to configure extremely sophisticated systems. There is no need to re-
patch cables to change routings of MIDI and audio signals between mLAN devices.

English
The number of available input and output channels may vary depending on
the specific mLAN devices connected. For the best performance, it is
recomended that you connect up to four mLAN devices (including a computer)
in a network. If the network contains an mLAN device that is only compatible
with a low transfer rate (200 Mbps (S200)), the number of devices and chan-
nels available for connection will be reduced.
Wordclocks
In a system that features multiple digitally-connected devices, all digital devices
must be synchronized when digital audio signals are transferred from one device to
another.
Even if the devices use matching sampling frequencies, if their audio processing tim-
ing is not synchronized, they might not receive signals correctly, and audible noise,
glitches or clicks may occur. Synchronization is achieved using a wordclock
(a clock signal that synchronizes all digital audio signals in a system).
In a typical digital audio system, one device operates as the wordclock “master” and
transmits a wordclock signal. The other devices operate as wordclock “slaves,” syn-
chronizing to the wordclock master. To connect the mLAN16E to external devices
via mLAN, in mLAN Auto Connector or mLAN Graphic Patchbay, select a device to
be the master, then set the other devices as slaves. If the mLAN16E is used as a
wordclock slave, it can operate at a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz,
88.2 kHz or 96 kHz. If the mLAN16E is used as the wordclock master, it will operate
at the wordclock used by the mLAN16E-equipped device.
For information on setting the sampling frequency and wordclock, refer to the
Installation Guide, or to the mLAN Graphic Patchbay Online Manual, or the owner’s
manual for your device.

Making mLAN Connections
In an mLAN system, you can easily configure and maintain the system, connect or dis-
connect the mLAN connectors on the computer and each mLAN device (virtual audio /
MIDI input and output connectors), and make various mLAN connection settings (such
as synchronization) by using the mLAN Graphic Patchbay and mLAN Auto Connector
software applications. There is no need to re-patch audio and MIDI cables to accom-
modate various music production environments.
mLAN Auto Connectors
This software application enables you to
connect a computer to a single mLAN
device.
It enables you to easily select wordclock and
audio input and output channels.
For information on installing and using the
software, refer to the separate Installation
Guide.
You can also use mLAN Graphic
Patchbay to connect a computer
to a single mLAN device.
mLAN Graphic Patchbay
This graphic software application enables
you to manage mLAN connection settings
for the connected computer and multiple
mLAN devices. You can immediately grasp
connections in their entirety by viewing dis-
played mLAN system configuration graph-
ics. You can also intuitively modify
wordclock settings and audio and MIDI sig-
nal routing, much as if you were connecting
physical cables.
For information on installing and using the
software, refer to the separate Installation
Guide and the mLAN Graphic Patchbay
Online Manual.
Saving mLAN connection settings to the corresponding mLAN device
When you make mLAN connections on the computer, the connection settings will be automati-
cally saved in the corresponding mLAN devices. Therefore, if you used mLAN Graphic Patch-
bay to configure a network that excludes a computer, the next time you use the network, you
will be able to activate the network just by turning on the power to the network’s mLAN devices
(without starting the computer).

dem IEEE-1394-Datenkommunikationsprotokoll. Mit mLAN können Sie sehr einfach
anspruchsvolle Netzwerke für Audio-und MIDI-Signale aufbauen und verwalten, ohne wie
bei alten, herkömmlichen Systemen immer wieder einzelne Kabelverbindungen herstellen
oder lösen zu müssen.
Durch die mLAN16E erhält ein mLAN16E-kompatibles Gerät wie z.B. der
Musikproduktions-Synthesizer MOTIF ES von Yamaha zwei zusätzliche Anschlussbuchsen.
Um alle Vorteile der Funktionen der mLAN16E nutzen zu können, lesen Sie diese Anleitung
bitte genau durch. Bewahren Sie die Anleitung zum späteren Nachschlagen bitte gut auf.

Leistungsmerkmale
Schnelle Datenübertragung über mLAN
mLAN ist ein digitales, für Musik konzipiertes Netzwerk. Es verwendet den seriellen
IEEE-1394-Hochleistungsbus und ermöglicht den Aufbau von Systemen, die noch
komplexer und dabei einfacher zu handhaben sind als je zuvor. Die mLAN16E kann mit
einer Geschwindigkeit von bis zu 400Mbps (S400) Daten übertragen.
Intuitiver Aufbau und intuitive Verwaltung von mLAN-
Verbindungen über GUI (englisch: Graphic User Interface –
grafische Benutzeroberfläche)
Mithilfe der Software mLAN Graphic Patchbay können Sie über die grafische
Benutzeroberfläche eines Computers Verbindungen zwischen mLAN-Geräten
herstellen. Auch die Signalführung und Synchronisation von Audio-/MIDI-Signalen
zwischen den mLAN-Geräten wird vereinfacht.
Bis zu 16 Audio-Eingangs- und Audio-Ausgangskanäle sowie
sechs MIDI-Eingangs- und MIDI-Ausgangsbuchsen
Der Anschluss von Geräten mit mLAN16E-Erweiterungskarte ermöglicht die
Datenübertragung von bis zu 16 Audio-Ein- und Ausgangskanälen sowie 8 MIDI-Ein-
und Ausgangsbuchsen.
Wie viele Audio- und MIDI-Buchsen für die Datenübertragung verwendet
werden, variiert je nach mLAN16E-Gerät. Der MOTIF ES bietet bis zu 4
Stereo-Eingangskanäle / 16 Mono-Ausgangskanäle (8 Stereo-
Ausgangskanäle) für Audiodaten sowie jeweils 4 Buchsen für die Ein- und
Ausgabe von MIDI-Daten.
Zusätzliche Optionen für die Wordclock-Einstellung
Sie können die Frequenz für den Sampling-Betrieb eines mLAN16E-kompatiblen Geräts
mit begrenzter Anzahl von Sampling-Frequenzen zum Wordclock-Master (Haupt-
Taktgeber) machen. Alternativ können Sie sie zum untergeordneten „Wordclock-Slave“
machen, der mit 44,1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88,2 kHz oder 96 kHz läuft.
Yamaha kann nicht für solche Schäden verantwortlich gemacht werden, die
durch falsche Verwendung des Geräts oder durch Veränderungen am Gerät
hervorgerufen wurden, oder wenn Daten verloren gehen oder zerstört werden.

Grundmerkmale von mLAN
mLAN ist ein digitales Netzwerk für Musik, die auf der Basis von IEEE 1394 aufgebaut
wurde, einem Industriestandard-Protokoll für Hochgeschwindigkeits-
Datenübertragung.
Digital-Music-Umgebungen ohne mLAN erfordern Dutzende von Kabeln für
verschiedene Geräte und Zwecke, einschließlich MIDI-Kabeln und Audio-Kabeln für das
Routing von MIDI- und Audiosignalen. Wenn Sie in solchen Systemen etwas ändern
möchten, müssen Sie diese Kabel physisch herausziehen und anders anschließen.
Zum Beispiel erfordert die Erweiterung eines Systems um einen Synthesizer zwei MIDI-
Kabel und zwei oder mehr Kabel für die Audiosignale (für Stereogeräte). Das Herstellen
der richtigen Verbindungen erfordert möglicherweise Spezialkenntnisse bezüglich der
Eingänge, Ausgänge, Stereoeinstellungen sowie u.U. der Anschlusswiderstände.
