  • Page 3: Introduction

    Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MY8-mLAN. The MY8-mLAN is an interface card that provides mLAN interfacing. mLAN is a digital network designed for music and based on the IEEE 1394 high performance serial bus. mLAN makes it easy to construct sophisticated networks for audio and MIDI signals that can be re-configured without changing the physical cabling (as was...

    (e.g., “MYmLAN31”) used when you make mLAN connection settings. When you are using multiple MY8-mLAN units, there will be no problems with operation even if each unit is set to the same number. However if you assign a different number to each unit, you will be able to distinguish between units by the different module name that is displayed for each unit when controlling them from software such as “mLAN Patchbay.”...
  • Page 8 Same as numbers 1–13 By setting these settings appropriately for the device in which the MY8-mLAN is installed, you can construct an uncluttered and stable system. For example on a device such as the Yamaha DA-824 (D/A converter) which provides only the...
  • Page 9 • When installed in slot 2 Slot 2 transmits/receives audio and MIDI data to/from other devices on the mLAN bus. Thus for the MY8-mLAN installed in slot 2, the audio output and input plugs as well as the MIDI input/output plugs are valid.
  • Page 10: Connections

    Connecting an mLAN (IEEE1394) device Use an IEEE 1394 standard cable (6 pin) to connect the mLAN (IEEE 1394) jack of the MY8-mLAN to the mLAN (IEEE 1394) connector of the other mLAN (IEEE 1394) device. When doing so, it is not necessary to turn off the power of the mLAN (IEEE 1394) device or the host device in which the MY8-mLAN is installed.

    The type of system in which the MY8-mLAN is being used will determine which of the above three methods you use to make settings. For each MY8-mLAN unit, eight channels of audio and one set of MIDI signals can be input and output. When making mLAN connection settings, these audio and MIDI inputs and outputs are handled as “plugs”...
