Fundamentals of mLAN

mLAN is a digital network for music that was developed based on IEEE1394, an industry-standard

high-performance data communications protocol.

Digital music environments that do not feature mLAN require dozens of cables for various 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 disconnect 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 connector impedance.

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.

Operational Flow for Sound Output

or off (Standby).

Be sure to follow the procedures described in

“Turning the Power to the i88X and Connected

Devices On and Off” on page 12 when you

turn the power to the i88X on or off.

Even when the switch is in the STANDBY posi-

tion, a small amount of electricity is still ﬂowing

to the unit. When you do not plan to use the

i88X for an extended period of time, be sure to

unplug the AC power adapter from the AC out-

let.

■ About the OPTICAL SELECT Switch, MASTER CLOCK Indicators, and Wordclock

The function of the OPTICAL IN and OUT jacks (J) speciﬁed by the [OPTICAL SELECT] switch (7), and

which MASTER CLOCK indicator (B) will light up, varies depending on which mLAN device in the mLAN

network is being used as the wordclock master.

1. When the wordclock master in an mLAN

network is an mLAN device other than

the computer and i88X (that is, when the

i88X is using the incoming mLAN signal

as the master clock):

MASTER CLOCK indicators

The [mLAN] indicator lights up.

[OPTICAL SELECT] switch

DIGITAL:

The OPTICAL IN and OUT jacks function as a

digital stereo input and output.

ADAT NORMAL or ADAT DOUBLE:

The sampling frequency in the mLAN network

determines the operating mode (NORMAL or

DOUBLE). You can select either mode when

the OPTICAL IN and OUT jacks are used as the

ADAT input and output.

2. When the i88X is referencing the incom-

ing ADAT master clock signal and the

i88X has been speciﬁed as the clock mas-

ter in the mLAN network (that is, when

the i88X is using the signal from ADAT as

the master clock):

MASTER CLOCK indicators

The [ADAT] indicator lights up.

[OPTICAL SELECT] switch

DIGITAL:

The OPTICAL IN and OUT jacks function as a

digital stereo input and output, but the IN jack

is unable to receive the ADAT wordclock sig-

nal. Therefore, the i88X automatically switches

to its internal clock running at 44.1 kHz. (Refer

to Case 3.)

ADAT NORMAL:

The OPTICAL IN and OUT jacks function in

ADAT NORMAL mode.

ADAT DOUBLE:

The OPTICAL IN and OUT jacks function in

ADAT DOUBLE mode.

3. When the i88X is not receiving the cor-

rect wordclock:

MASTER CLOCK indicators

The [INT] indicator lights up, and the i88X ref-

erences its internal clock running at 44.1 kHz.

In Case 1, the [mLAN] indicator also lights up.

In Case 2, the [ADAT] indicator also lights up.

[OPTICAL SELECT] switch

DIGITAL:

The OPTICAL IN jack functions as the digital

stereo input. In this case, you can still monitor

analog inputs (from INPUTs 1-8) and digital

stereo input (from OPTICAL IN). Therefore,

you can monitor the sound from a musical

instrument or microphone connected to the

i88X without running the computer.

ADAT NORMAL or ADAT DOUBLE:

ADAT signals are unavailable, although you

can still monitor analog input (from INPUTs 1-

8).

sor to INPUT 1 & 2 (3) on the front panel.

INSERT I/O 1 corresponds to INPUT 1, and

INSERT I/O 2 to INPUT 2.

The pin configuration is shown below.

F INPUT 3-8 (TRS phone) jacks

These are TRS phone type 1/4" input jacks (bal-

anced). The nominal input level is –20 dBu

through +10 dBu. You can also connect devices

such as synthesizers or rhythm machines with

unbalanced outputs here.

G OUTPUT 1 & 2 / MASTER OUT L & R (TRS

phone) jacks

These TRS phone type 1/4" output jacks (bal-

anced) output an audio analog signal, which is

the combination of mLAN input channels 1 & 2,

and audio monitoring output selected via the

[SELECT] (7) switch on the front panel. The

nominal output level is +4 dBu (pages 16 and

17).

H OUTPUT 3-8 (TRS phone) jacks

These TRS phone type 1/4" output jacks (bal-

anced) output audio analog signals from mLAN

input channels 3-8 respectively. The nominal

output level is +4 dBu.

I DIGITAL STEREO COAXIAL IN & OUT

jacks

These coaxial jacks (RCA pin connectors) input

and output IEC-60958 consumer format digital

audio signals. Connect these jacks to the stereo

input and output of a DAT recorder, MD

recorder, etc., using RCA pin cables for digital

audio.

J OPTICAL IN & OUT jacks

These optical jacks input and output digital ste-

reo or ADAT audio signals. Use the [OPTICAL

SELECT] (A) switch on the front panel to select

DIGITAL STEREO, ADAT NORMAL, or ADAT

DOUBLE mode.

The coaxial and optical digital stereo

input jacks feature a built-in sampling

rate converter (SRC), which enables

audio signals at different sampling fre-

quencies to be input from connected

devices.

K MIDI IN & OUT ports

Connect MIDI equipment here. These ports

enable you to transmit MIDI messages between

a computer or mLAN devices in an mLAN net-

work and a MIDI instrument connected to the

i88X.

L DC IN terminal

Connect the included AC adapter (PA-5D) here.

Be sure to use the included adapter. Using an

AC adapter other than the PA-5D may cause

damage to the i88X, and may even pose a seri-

ous electrical shock hazard. Connect the

adapter to an AC outlet of the speciﬁed volt-

age.

M mLAN 1 & 2 connectors

These 6-pin IEEE1394 connectors enable you to

connect the i88X to an mLAN device or

IEEE1394-compatible (FireWire/i.Link) device.

The operation is identical regardless of which

connector is used (mLAN 1 or mLAN 2). If the

target device has a 4-pin connector, use a com-

mercially available 4-pin to 6-pin IEEE1394

cable. Avoid creating a connection loop

(page 23) when connecting the devices.

Yamaha recommends that you use an

IEEE1394 cable with a length of 4.5

meters or less.

Turning the Power to the i88X and

Connected Devices On and Off

Before you connect the power adapter, make

sure that the i88X [STANDBY/ON] switch is set

to STANDBY (Off).

A Connect the plug of the power adapter

(PA-5D) to the DC IN terminal on the

rear panel of the i88X.

B Plug in the AC cable to an appropriate

AC outlet.

Follow this procedure in reverse order

to disconnect the power adapter.

• Be sure to use the included adapter. Using an

AC adapter other than the PA-5D may cause

damage to the i88X, and may even pose a

serious electrical shock hazard.

• Connect the adapter to an AC outlet of the

speciﬁed voltage.

Even when the [STANDBY/ON] switch is in the

STANDBY position, a small amount of electric-

ity is still ﬂowing to the unit. When you do not

plan to use the i88X for an extended period of

time, be sure to unplug the AC power adapter

from the AC outlet.

After you connect the i88X and external

devices (page 13), make sure that the volume

setting on the i88X and external audio equip-

ment is lowered to minimum, then turn on the

power to the devices in the following

sequence.

Install mLAN Driver (for Windows)

while the power to the i88X remains off.

(See the separate Installation Guide.)

After you turn on the power to the i88X

again, restart the DAW.

To turn off the power to the devices,

ﬁrst lower the volume of the audio

equipment, then turn off the power in

the reverse sequence.

To protect your speakers, before you turn the

power to the i88X on or off, lower the volume

setting on the i88X and connected audio

equipment.

A Press the i88X [STANDBY/

ON] switch to turn on the

power to the unit.

B Raise the volume of the ampliﬁer to an

Wordclocks

In a system that features multiple digitally-connected devices, all digital devices must be synchro-

nized when digital audio signals are transferred from one device to another.

Even if the devices use matching sampling frequencies, if their audio processing timing 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,” synchronizing to the word-

clock master.

To connect the i88X 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. The i88X can

operate at a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz as either the wordclock

master or slave.

Using the i88X as the wordclock master in an mLAN network

(Using an ADAT-compatible device as the wordclock master in an mLAN network)

1. On the ADAT-compatible device connected to the i88X, specify the ADAT-compatible

device as the wordclock master.

2. Set the [OPTICAL SELECT] switch on the front panel to ADAT DOUBLE or ADAT NORMAL

(page 10).

3. In mLAN Auto Connector or mLAN Graphic Patchbay, assign the i88X as the wordclock

master in the mLAN network.

Using the i88X as the wordclock slave in an mLAN network

In mLAN Auto Connector or mLAN Graphic Patchbay, assign an mLAN device other than the

computer or i88X as the wordclock master.

Use an ADAT-compatible device or digital device (if it is connected to the i88X) to assign

the device as a wordclock slave.

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 ADAT-compat-

ible device.

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 Patchbay

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 (with-

out starting the computer).

About connections with external devices when using the i88X with a computer

When using audio devices, musical instruments and computers at the same time, there is bound to

be some noise in the system, the amount of which depends on the connections. Knowing how to

minimize noise is extremely important when designing and setting up a studio.

As advanced as the i88X is, it too is susceptible to noise. Various types of noise may be generated

and recorded to your audio sequencer, depending on the power sources/grounding scheme and

how the various devices are connected.

There is no ideal way to completely eliminate such noise. However, one can decrease noise by iso-

lating the cause and applying a suitable remedy. Below are a couple of examples that may apply.

• High-pitched buzzing or whirring operation noise in the computer

This is caused by operation noise of the computer leaking to other devices through the mLAN

cable or audio cable, and may be caused by improper grounding of the power source.

• Low humming noise

Noise of this type is generally due to improper grounding of the power source.

The noise may differ depending on the circumstances (speciﬁcations of each device and loca-

tions of use).

If problems like these happen, try the following measures to minimize the noise.

If the noise disappears when turning down the volume of the i88X and/or if the noise persists

even when disconnecting the mLAN cable or turning off the computer, other reasons for the

noise are likely. Refer to the Troubleshooting section in the Owner’s Manual.

1. Use balanced cable connections when connecting analog audio.

By using proper balanced connections, you can minimize the noise.

This may have no effect depending on the speciﬁcations of the connected device.

■ Recommended Cables

i88X Inputs

i88X Outputs

2. Insert a conventional direct box (passive, with transformer and ground lift switch) for con-

necting the audio (analog) cable.

You may want to use several direct boxes when connecting multiple devices.

Example:

OUTPUT 1/2 of i88X – [direct box] – powered speaker

Synthesizer – [direct box] – i88X

3. Changing the power source for each device.

Attempting this remedy is extremely dangerous and may result in electric shock. It should be done only by

qualiﬁed, experienced personnel. Contact your nearest Yamaha representative or an authorized distribu-

tor (see the last page of the Owner’s Manual).

Connecting Musical Instruments and

Microphones and Adjusting the Input Level

Signals input at INPUT 1-8 jacks are routed to mLAN output channels 1-8 respectively. If you have

selected any pair from channels 1/2 through 7/8 for monitor output, you can monitor the corre-

sponding input signals from MASTER L & R and MASTER PHONES (page 17).

This section describes connecting musical instruments and microphones to the INPUT 1-8 jacks and

adjusting the level of input signals.

1. Turn the [MASTER VOLUME] control and the [MONITOR VOLUME] control all the way to

the minimum (rotate the controls counter-clockwise until the knob will not turn further).

To connect devices to INPUT 1 & 2, set the [(HI-Z)/LINE/MIC] switch to a setting that is appro-

priate for the connected devices (page 8).

You can insert an effects processor via the INSERT I/O jacks into analog input channels 1 and

2 (INPUT 1 & 2).

2. Connect the musical instruments and microphones to the INPUT 1-8 jacks.

3. Adjust the [GAIN] control for the INPUT jacks to which you connected the musical instru-

ments and microphones.

4. Adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] control and the [MONITOR VOLUME] control.

INPUT 1 & 2 jacks:

In order to record at the optimal level, adjust the [GAIN] controls so that the [PEAK] indicator for

each input ﬂickers brieﬂy when you play at your loudest level.

INPUT 3 - 8 jacks

Observe the input level meters of your DAW or audio sequencer while adjusting the [GAIN] controls

to raise the level to a point just before the signal starts clipping.

Direct Monitoring

Through the MASTER L & R jacks and the MASTER PHONES jack, you can directly monitor signals

input at INPUT 1-8 jacks or COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL STEREO INPUT jacks.

When an audio input signal, such as a guitar or vocal signal, is output through the computer,

latency (delay) may occur. However, this Direct Monitoring function enables you to monitor a sig-

nal before it is output to the connected computer, and thus avoids latency in the monitoring signal.

If you wish to record to the DAW your vocal or musical instrument performance accompanying

the DAW’s background tracks, while listening to the sound through the i88X, turn off the mon-

itoring function on the DAW. Otherwise, you will have to listen to a delayed sound (from the

DAW) and to a non-delayed sound (monitoring sound from the i88X) at the same time, result-

ing in a garbled sound.

1. Follow Steps 1 and 2 in “Connecting Musical Instruments and Microphones and Adjusting

the Input Level” on page 16 to connect the musical instruments and microphones to the

INPUT 1-8 jacks or COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL SETEREO INPUT jacks.

2. Press the [SELECT] button on the front panel (page 9) repeatedly to select a an input chan-

nel for direct monitoring through the MASTER OUT L & R jacks on the rear panel.

Press the switch brieﬂy (less than one second) repeatedly to select monitoring channels in the

following sequence:

Off → CH1/2 → CH3/4 → CH5/6 → CH7/8 → DIGITAL STEREO -> Off

The MONITOR indicator (page 9) for the selected channels lights up red.

3. Adjust the [GAIN] controls for the INPUT channels (to which the musical instruments and

microphones are connected) and the [MASTER VOLUME] control.

4. Adjust the [MONITOR VOLUME] control.

Monitoring signals are output from the MASTER L & R jacks and the MASTER PHONES jack.

The [MONITOR VOLUME] control enables you to adjust the volume of the monitoring signals

without changing the recording level (input gain).

2. Using multiple mLAN devices

Connect the mLAN (IEEE1394) connector on the IEEE1394-compatible computer and the mLAN

(IEEE1394) connector on the 01X Digital Mixing Studio and on the i88X using IEEE1394 cables.

In mLAN Graphic Patchbay (refer to the mLAN Graphic Patchbay Online Manual), route the

audio and MIDI signals between the computer and the i88X and set up the wordclock.

This system enables you to make best use of the 01X Digital Mixing function (up to 28-channel

digital mixing). Using eight A/D inputs on the 01X and eight A/D inputs on the i88X enables you

to transfer 16-channel analog audio data to the 01X. Eight D/A outputs on the i88X are avail-

able, as well as MONITOR OUT (stereo) and STEREO/AUX OUT (stereo) on the 01X. These ana-

log interface and the i88X COAXIAL and OPTICAL DIGITAL STEREO jacks expand analog and

digital input and output on the 01X.

The number of available input and output channels may vary depending on the speciﬁc mLAN

devices connected. For the best performance, it is recommended 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

channels available for connection will be reduced.

Making mLAN Connections

In an mLAN system, you can easily conﬁgure and maintain the system, connect or disconnect 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 accommodate various music production environments.

mLAN Auto Connector

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 con-

nected computer and multiple mLAN devices. You can immediately grasp connections in their

entirety by viewing displayed mLAN system conﬁguration graphics. You can also intuitively mod-

ify wordclock settings and audio and MIDI signal routing, much as if you were connecting phys-

ical cables.

For information on installing and using the software, refer to the separate Installation Guide and

the mLAN Graphic Patchbay Online Manual.
