This software includes mLAN drivers and applications required to make mLAN connections between the mLAN devices and the computer. Install the software while the power to the mLAN devices is off (page

9). A single installation procedure installs all applications necessary for mLAN communications. Software to be installed includes mLAN Auto Connector and mLAN Graphic Patchbay, which are used to set up audio and MIDI connections for an mLAN network.

This software reproduces the EQ and Dynamics effects built into each channel of the YAMAHA Digital Mixing Studio 01X, and uses the processing power of the computer for the effects.

You can use the Dynamics and 4-band EQ functions (that can be also found on Yamaha Digital Mixing consoles) as effects software. You can also import the 01X settings, thus reproducing the songs created on the 01X.

This program is used to edit the pitch of recorded vocals. More than just a pitch processor, it can also be used to change the character of the vocals. Moreover, you can use MIDI data on the host application to control the Pitch Fix effect. For more information on setting up with the host application, refer to the Pitch Fix PDF owner’s manual.

This is a multi-effect program for processing vocals. The plug-in features various effects, including a high-pass ﬁlter, compressor and a 3-band equalizer.

This is a multi-effect program for mastering purposes. It features a compressor, limiter and soft-clip function, and allows you to split the signal into three bands for separate multi-band processing.

■ 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

OPT Level Implementation for the 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, 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 39.

Preparing to install

1 Disconnect all MIDI cables that connect MIDI

devices to MIDI IN/OUT connectors on the mLAN device.

2 Using an IEEE1394 (FireWire/iLink) cable,

connect the mLAN device directly to the computer (without using a hub), and disconnect all other IEEE 1394-connected devices from the computer.

3 Make sure that the power to the mLAN device

is turned off.

4 Start the computer and log in to the Adminis-

trator account.

• If you are using the S200 data transfer rate standard (check the rear panel of your particular device, or refer to the specifications in the owner’s manual), make sure to uninstall the old version of mLAN Tools beforehand. For more information on uninstalling the software, refer to the owner’s manual for the corresponding device.

q 1394 Adapter Card ID

t r

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 Latency

Determines the basic latency of the mLAN communications, or how quickly the data is processed after a command is issued. Choose an option appropriate to your environment.

About latency in an mLAN network

The particular configuration of your computer (processing speed, system memory size, etc.) may affect its 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 the problem by adjusting the latency (delay time).

•A small latency value results in a short delay time and gives optimum response for real-time recording/playback.

•A large latency value results in a long delay time, but allows for use of more audio channels and plug-in effects.

TOOLS for i88X/mLAN16E, Plug-in Effect Installation Guide

● Types of latency in an mLAN network

Audio latency (msec)

Audio latency is determined by the basic latency (selected in the mLAN Driver Setup window) and Preferred Buffer Size (specified in the ASIO mLAN Control Panel) (see below).

MIDI latency (msec)

The MIDI latency value varies with the mLAN driver version. For information on MIDI latency of your mLAN driver version, refer to the file called “MIDI_Latency.txt.” Windows: Select [Program files | mLAN Tools | YAMAHA | MIDI_Latency.txt]. Macintosh: Locate the installed “mLAN Tools” folder, then double-click the “YAMAHA,” “Manual,” then

● ASIO mLAN Control Panel

When you start the ASIO mLAN Control Panel, the system displays the following dialog box.

When using the mLAN ASIO Driver, open the ASIO Control Panel within the driver settings of the DAW software (the particular menu depends on the software you are using) and set the Preferred Buffer Size as needed.

• Also, when using the mLAN WDM driver, adjust as necessary the latency value of the WDM driver (which corre-

sponds to the latency of the ASIO driver in this chart) within the driver settings of the DAW software.

• The initial setting of the Preferred Buffer Size of the mLAN ASIO driver is the smallest value.

Connecting a Computer to an mLAN device via mLAN

This section describes the procedure for connecting a computer to a single mLAN device peer-to-peer in mLAN Auto Connector. In mLAN Auto Connector, you can easily connect an mLAN device by setting up the wordclock and the number of audio I/O channels. To connect multiple mLAN devices to a computer, use mLAN Graphic Patchbay. For more information on mLAN Graphic Patchbay, refer to the mLAN Graphic Patchbay Online Manual.

• Noise may be generated when you connect an mLAN device in mLAN Auto Connector. Before you make connections in mLAN Auto Connector, lower the volume level of the connected device.

Connecting the i88X

• If you use Auto Connector after you make connections in mLAN Graphic Patchbay, the connections made in mLAN Graphic Patchbay will be cancelled.

• You can also use mLAN Graphic Patchbay to connect a computer to a single mLAN device peer-to-peer.

• The mLAN Auto Connector windows may appear different when certain mLAN devices are connected.

1 Connect a computer to an mLAN device using

an IEEE1394 cable.

2 Right-click the YAMAHA mLAN Manager icon

in the Task bar, then select [Auto Connector].

3 Set up the wordclock and specify the number

of audio channels (see below), then click the [Connect] button. The computer and mLAN device are connected via mLAN.
