• Screen displays in this owner’s manual are intended for instructional purposes only and may

appear different than screens displayed on your computer.

•Explanations of operations in this manual are primarily based on screens that are displayed on

Windows computer systems. However, the explanations also apply to Macintosh computers.

• Company and product names in this owner’s manual are the trademarks or registered trade-

marks of their respective companies.

This owner’s manual assumes that you are already familiar with basic Windows or Macintosh

operations. If you are not, please refer to the owner’s manual that came with your Windows or

Mac OS software before using mLAN Graphic Patchbay.

For information on hardware requirements, device interconnections and the installation of the

mLAN Graphic Patchbay software, refer to the separate “Installation Guide” as well as to the

owner’s manual for the respective MIDI device.

mLAN Graphic Patchbay software enables you to set up and manage connections between mLAN

devices using a graphic computer interface to connect and disconnect virtual audio/MIDI connectors

and to synchronize audio/MIDI signals between mLAN devices.

In this manual, setting up audio, MIDI, and wordclock routings is referred as to as making “mLAN

connections.”

You can immediately grasp the connections in their entirety by viewing displayed mLAN system

conﬁguration graphics. You can also intuitively change audio and MIDI signal routing and wordclock

settings, much as if you were connecting physical cables.

Graphic View

Introduction to mLAN Graphic Patchbay

Menu and Tool bars

These bars enable you to use various functions by selecting

menu options or clicking Tool bar buttons. (pages 7 and 11)

Node

Computers and mLAN

devices in an mLAN network

are called “nodes.” These

graphics provide information

about connected nodes

(page 13).

Input and output connectors

These connectors represent virtual audio/

MIDI/wordclock inputs and outputs for

each node. You can route audio/MIDI/

wordclock signals on an mLAN network by

using the graphic user interface to connect

these connectors (page 25).

Cable

This virtual cable indicates

connected nodes in an

mLAN network.

You can also view a list that shows the status of connections in an mLAN network. The list indicates the

status of audio and MIDI connections and enables you to modify these connections. For more

information, see page 34.

List View

Audio Out and MIDI Out sections

Provide information on audio and

MIDI output connectors on all nodes

in an mLAN network.

Destination Connector List

Indicates connections between connectors

in the Audio Out and MIDI Out sections and

input connectors.

Audio In and MIDI In sections

Provide information on audio and MIDI input

connectors on all nodes in an mLAN network.

You can start mLAN Graphic Patchbay as either stand-alone software or as a plug-in for an Open Plug-

in 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.

■

OPT Level Implementation for mLAN Graphic Patchbay

This chart shows OPT-compatibility of mLAN Graphic Patchbay.

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).

Using mLAN Graphic Patchbay as a

Plug-In

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 levels of client application

Operation support Operation limits

Views (Level 3) Yes None

Processors (Level 2) Yes None

Panels (Level 1) Yes None

NOTE

1. Connect the computer and mLAN devices using the IEEE1394 cables.

2. Start mLAN Graphic Patchbay (page 6).

3. Set up wordclock on the mLAN network (page 25).

4. Conﬁgure the routing of audio and MIDI signals on the mLAN network (page 25).

5. Specify the audio and MIDI inputs and outputs as per the owner’s manual for your

DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), audio sequencer, and/or connected devices.

For subsequent steps, refer to the owner’s manual for the software and connected devices.

Operational Flow

■

If multiple IEEE1394 interface cards have been installed on the computer:

mLAN Graphic Patchbay cannot simultaneously operate mLAN devices connected to multiple

IEEE1394 interface cards.

• Windows

Before you start mLAN Graphic Patchbay, select in the mLAN Driver Setup window the IEEE1394

interface card you wish to use (page 20).

• Macintosh

Connect an mLAN device to a single IEEE1394 interface card.

If multiple IEEE1394 cards have been installed in the computer, a computer node for each card will

be displayed in the Graphic Patchbay screen. However, you can make an mLAN connection (page 25)

only for the node representing the card that is connected to an mLAN device.

To ﬁnd out which IEEE1394 card (connected to an mLAN device) corresponds to which node, check

the [Vendor] name displayed in [1394 Adapter Card ID] in “mLAN Driver Setup.” (page 20)

If you cannot make an mLAN connection for some reason, make sure that the

IEEE1394 card (connected to the mLAN device) has been selected in the OMS

Setup and ASIO mLAN Control Panel windows. (Refer to “Changing the

Settings after Installation” and “OMS Setup” in the Installation Guide.)

NOTE

After you successfully install mLAN Graphic Patchbay, follow the steps below to start the application.

• For Windows Users

1. Right click the YAMAHA mLAN Manager icon ( ) in the Task bar to display a pop-

up menu, then select [ON] in the menu.

2. Select [Graphic Patchbay] in the same menu.

If the YAMAHA mLAN Manager icon does not appear in the Task bar, click the

[Start] button, then select [Programs | mLAN Tools | mLAN Manager]. The Task

bar now indicates the YAMAHA mLAN Manager icon.

Refer to the owner’s manual for the client application for details on starting the mLAN Graphic

Patchbay when using it as a plug-in(page 4).

• For Macintosh Users

Open the “mLAN Tools” folder, then click the “mLANGraphicPatchbay” icon.

mLAN Graphic Patchbay will start.

Starting mLAN Graphic Patchbay

NOTE

The Menu bar contains various editing and setup function commands. Click the desired menu name to

display the appropriate pull-down menu, then choose the command you wish to apply. Unavailable

commands are grayed-out.

File Menu

This menu enables you to store the current mLAN Graphic Patchbay settings in a ﬁle or template ﬁle

and retrieve the stored settings. For more information on ﬁles and template ﬁles, refer to page 33.

File names and template ﬁle names on Macintosh computers do not include an

extension.

information to ensure that there is sufﬁcient bandwidth for additional audio connections.

An error due to lack of bandwidth may occur even after you disconnect some

mLAN routings. Always update the resource information before checking the

available bandwidth.

NOTE
