■ About Open Plug-in Technology
You can start mLAN Graphic Patchbay as either stand-alone software or as a plug-in for an Open Plugin Technology compatible application.
Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a new software format that enables you to control MIDI devices from a music software sequencer. For example, OPT enables you to start and operate various parts of your music system, such as Plug-in Board editors and mixing control editors, directly from an OPT-compatible sequencer. OPT also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music production system and making all operations more convenient and seamless.
About OPT Levels
The client application and its compatibility with OPT can be divided into three levels, as shown below.
Level 1 (OPT Panels) provides basic support for opening and displaying OPT control panels that can transmit data via a clients’ external MIDI connectors.
Typically, this enables basic hardware editor control panels to operate properly.
Level 2 (OPT Processors) provides support for real-time MIDI processors and panel automation. Typically, this enables both real-time and offline MIDI effects (e.g., arpeggiators, transposers, etc.) to operate properly and supply automation to OPT panels.
Level 3 (OPT Views) provides support for edit views and MIDI processors and panels that require direct access to client sequencer storage structures.
Typically, this enables support of sophisticated MIDI edit views (e.g., list editors, auto accompaniment, data checkers, etc.).
OPT Level Implementation for the mLAN Graphic Patchbay
This chart shows the OPT-compatibility of mLAN Graphic Patchbay.

mLAN Tools 2.0 and mLAN Applications for YAMAHA
mLAN Tools 2.0 software includes a driver that enables you to connect mLAN devices to a computer. mLAN Applications for YAMAHA enables audio and MIDI signals to be transferred between a computer and mLAN devices via mLAN cables.
This software enables you to connect the i88X, mLAN16E, MY16-mLAN, or 01X to a computer via mLAN. 01X users should uninstall the older version of the mLAN software before installing this software. (Refer to the 01X Installation Guide.)
Follow the steps below to install these software applications.
• For explanations on error messages, see page 43.
Preparing to install
1 Disconnect all MIDI cables that connect MIDI devices to MIDI IN/OUT connectors on the mLAN device.

q 1394 Adapter Card ID
This indicates the particular ID of the IEEE 1394 (FireWire/iLink) interface card installed to the computer. When several cards are installed, this is used to select the desired card. Cards not recognized by the mLAN driver are not displayed.
• The correct name of the manufacturer or vendor may not be displayed depending on the particular card you are using.
w Required CPU
Determines the computer’s required processing power (the amount of processing load applied to the computer by the mLAN driver).
You can also control the processing load by adjusting the latency in “ASIO mLAN Control Panel.” (see below)
Latency and Required CPU
A particular computer configuration (i.e., processing speed and system memory size) may affect the computer’s ability to properly record and play back audio data in your audio sequencer, resulting in noise or other audio problems.
In most cases, you can solve these problems by adjusting the latency (delay time). (See “Latency of mLAN” on page 16.)
