What is mLAN Driver / mLAN Tools? The mLAN Driver / mLAN Tools enable you to use various mLAN devices such as 01X, i88X, mLAN16E and MY16-mLAN connected to your computer via an IEEE1394 cable. The following items are included in the mLAN Driver / mLAN Tools. • mLAN Driver mLAN Driver enables you to transfer the audio/MIDI signals between the computer and mLAN device. • mLAN Auto Connector This software application enables you to make or change connections between a Macintosh computer and an mLAN device.
PAGE 4
System Requirements The system requirements below are necessary for using mLAN Driver/mLAN Tools. • The system requirements below may differ slightly depending on the particular operating system. • For details on system requirements for other DAW software, refer to the respective owner’s manual. • For information about the system requirements and latest information of mLAN Driver/mLAN Tools, check the web site below. http://www.yamahasynth.com/ OS: Mac OS X 10.

Installation of mLAN Driver / mLAN Tools Follow the steps below to connect the mLAN device to the computer. 1 Updating the firmware of the mLAN device, if required. 2 Preparing to install 3 Starting up the Installer Updating the firmware of the mLAN device Please check with the hardware manufacturer as to whether or not: 1) your mLAN device supports Mac OS X 10.4 or later (10.4.4 or later on an Intel-based Mac), 2) it can be used with mLAN Driver / mLAN Tools, and 3) its firmware must be updated.
PAGE 6
Starting up the Installer 6 After the downloaded compressed file is properly extracted, double-click the “mLAN Tools.mpkg” file. • If the computer OS does not satisfy the system requirements, the dialog box appears indicating that this software cannot be installed on your computer. 7 8 If a dialog box appears asking if you want to install the software, click [Continue]. The “Welcome…” window appears. Click [Continue]. The “Select a Destination” window appears.
PAGE 7
Using the mLAN Auto Connector The mLAN Auto Connector enables you to make or change connections between a Macintosh computer and an mLAN device just simply by selecting a desired device from the Devices menu then executing the Connect to Mac command. If you wish to use two or more mLAN devices simultaneously and connect their audio/MIDI channels one by one, use mLAN Graphic Patchbay instead of mLAN Auto Connector. For more information on mLAN Graphic Patchbay, see page 12.
PAGE 8
Preferences Menu 3 Select “Preferences” from the mLAN Auto Connector menu, then set the Sample Rate of the mLAN Driver. You can select the desired Sample Rate from the pop-up menu as illustrated below. • For information about the available Sample Rate, please refer to the manual for your mLAN device. • When connecting the multiple mLAN devices, only the Sample Rates supported by all the mLAN devices can be selected.
PAGE 9
Devices Menu 4 After selecting [Device] menu, select the desired mLAN device then [Properties]. The following dialog appears, letting you set the amount of audio channels for the mLAN device. Depending on your mLAN device, the special menu (like “Enable Monitoring Channels” below) may be indicated in the dialog.
PAGE 10
Saving/Recalling the setup with the mLAN Auto Connector The connection setup in the mLAN Auto Connector will be saved automatically without any specific operation. When using the next time, you can recall the connection setup just only by starting the mLAN Auto Connector (without the specific operation like “Connect to Mac”). • The connection setup in the mLAN Auto Connector will be saved (or overwritten) automatically as the two files listed below.
PAGE 11
Device Identification The Properties dialog of each mLAN device features the [Identify] button that enables you to identify the device. Click and hold [Identify] to flash the mLAN LED on the device so that you can identify the device. This can be useful in studio situations in which you have more than one instance of a similar device.
PAGE 12
Using the mLAN Graphic Patchbay Graphic Patchbay enables you to use a graphic user interface (GUI) to establish mLAN channel connections between a Macintosh and multiple mLAN devices. For details on instructions about setup, refer to the manual of mLAN Graphic Patchbay you can call up from “Help: Manual” menu. • Do not use mLAN Auto Connector and mLAN Graphic Patchbay at the same time. If you attempt to do so, the later booting application will be unable to recognize any mLAN devices.

Setting the driver I/O buffer size (latency) Audio signals may not be played back or recorded properly (for example, noise may be produced) while using the DAW software. Such a problem may be solved by adjusting the audio buffer size which can be adjusted on the Audio Driver window of the DAW. The higher buffer size reduces the load of the computer CPU but produces latency (time lag) during recording/playback. The smaller buffer size may result in noise or the sound cutting off.
PAGE 17
Uninstalling the Software To uninstall mLAN Driver / mLAN Tools, you must remove the following folders and files from the boot disk (usually Macintosh HD). /Application /mLAN Tools/ /System/Library/Extensions/Yamaha1394AudioDriver.kext /System/Library/Frameworks/mLANEnablerFramework.framework /System/Library/Frameworks/mLANQtFramework.framework /Library/Application Support/mLAN/ /Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers/Yamaha1394MIDI.plugin /Library/Receipts/1394AudioDriver.pkg /Library/Receipts/1394MIDIPlugIn.

Troubleshooting No sound is heard, or the sound is too faint. Settings on the computer • The volume settings within your application must be set to appropriate levels. • Make sure that the mLAN Auto Connector or mLAN Graphic Patchbay is active. (See pages 7 and 12.) • Make sure that other settings of the mLAN Driver are appropriate. (See “Unable to transfer/receive audio data or MIDI data.
PAGE 19
Unable to transfer/receive audio data or MIDI data. Settings on the computer • The mLAN Driver may not have been installed or set up correctly. • Make sure that the mLAN Auto Connector or mLAN Graphic Patchbay is active. (See pages 7 and 12.) • When transferring/receiving audio data, make sure to set the bi-directional connection (mLAN device ↔ computer). Only one direction (only mLAN device → computer or only computer → mLAN device) may result in improper playback.
