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.
● Plug-in Effect (included only with i88X)
• This software can be used as plug-in software within a VST compatible program.
•To call up the PDF manual for each program, select [Start] ➝ [All programs] ➝ [YAMAHA VST

•For instructions on installing the Plug-in Effects, see page 26.
Folder Name Application Name Contents
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
checkers, etc.).
English
OPT Level Implementation for the mLAN Graphic Patchbay
This chart shows the OPT-compatibility of mLAN Graphic Patchbay.
OPT levels of the client application
VIEWS (Level 3) Yes None
PROCESSORS (Level 2) Yes None
PANELS (Level 1) Yes (with limitations) None
All mLAN Graphic Patchbay functions work under the client applications of any OPT level (Panels
(Level 1), Processors (Level 2), and Views (Level 3)).

• Certain operations may not work as expected if there is no corresponding function in the client application (sequencer,
etc.). The highest level of implementation for the client application is indicated in the OPT logo (which appears along with
the version information in the application).
