Bkgrnd Color Enables you to change the background color of the nodes. OK Confirms the settings and closes the window. Cancel Cancels the settings and closes the window. Setup If the node represents a computer, clicking the [Setup] button displays the mLAN Driver Setup window (refer to "Changing settings after installation" in the Installation Guide). If the node represents an mLAN device, clicking the [Setup] button displays the mLAN Control Panel window (refer to "Connecting a Computer to an mLAN Device via mLAN" in the installation Guide). Node Information (MIDI) window 20 Vendor Indicates the manufacturer of the node device. Model Name Indicates the model of the node device. Model Nickname Indicates and enables you to change the node nickname. You cannot use two-byte characters (such as Japanese or Chinese characters). GUID Indicates a unique ID for mLAN device nodes. If two nodes are mLAN devices of the same model, the IDs are different for each device. If the node represents a computer, this field indicates the ID for the IEEE1394 card. Version If the node represents a computer, the field indicates the mLAN driver version. If the node represents an mLAN device, the field indicates the device firmware version. Maximum Number of Connected Nodes Windows: Display the maximm number of MIDI nodes that can be connected to the node MIDI input connectors. Macintosh: Displays the maximum number of audio nodes and MIDI nodes combined that can be connected to the nodes. For Windows Users If the node represents a computer, this field indicates the maximum number of nodes that can be connected to an S400-compatible device and an S200-compatible device separately. The following example indicates that up to two S400-compatible devices and one S200compatible device can be connected to the computer's MIDI inputs. Connector Name Enables you to select a MIDI input/output connector. The ID and nickname of the selected connector will be displayed in the [Connector ID] and [Connector Nickname] field. NOTE If the node is a computer, the audio or MIDI [Connector ID] will match the number of an audio channel or MIDI connector specified on the DAW (that is, the number of the mLAN driver). Number of Connectors Displays the maximum number of MIDI input and output connectors available to the node. Icon Enables you to change the node icon (page 13). 21 Bkgrnd Color Enables you to change the background color of the nodes. OK Confirms the settings and closes the window. Cancel Cancels the settings and closes the window. Setup If the node represents a computer, clicking the [Setup] button displays the mLAN Driver Setup window (see the Installation Guide). If the node represents an mLAN device, clicking the [Setup] button displays the mLAN Control Panel window (see the Installation Guide). If you cannot change the sampling frequency or the number of output channels: To change the computer's sampling frequency or the number of output channels, you must first shut down the DAW that is using the mLAN driver. 1. If you were using mLAN Graphic Patchbay as a plug-in for the host application, re-start mLAN Graphic Patchbay as a stand-alone application (page 6). In the Node Information window, edit the sampling frequency and/or the number of output channels as necessary (page 18). Restart the DAW or audio sequencer. 22 About the Maximum Number of Connected Nodes For Windows users: The Maximum Number of Connected Nodes field in the Node Information (Audio) window indicates the maximum number of audio nodes that can be connected to the audio input of the corresponding node. The Maximum Number of Connected Nodes field in the Node Information (MIDI) window indicates the maximum number of MIDI nodes that can be connected to the MIDI input of the corresponding node. For example, assume that the maximum numbers of connected nodes are as follows: · The maximum number of connected nodes indicated in the Node Information (Audio) window: four units · The maximum number of connected nodes indicated in the Node information (MIDI) window: two S400s and one S200 In this case, you can connect up to four S400s and S200s combined as Audio nodes to the computer node. You can connect up to two S400s and one S200 as MIDI nodes. NOTE On a Windows computer, you can connect only one S200 to a computer node. For Macintosh users: The Maximum Number of Connected Nodes in the Node Information (Audio) window and the Node Information (MIDI) window indicate the maximum number of audio and MIDI nodes combined that can be connected to the corresponding node. NOTE S400 and S200 units are counted differently as nodes. · If the node is an S400, it would be regarded as two nodes (one audio node and one MIDI node). · If the node is an S200, it would be regarded as one node (audio and MIDI combined). 23 Connector Information Window In Graphic view, clicking the connector number in the Input or Output window (page 9) displays the Input or Output Information window, in which you can view and change detailed information, including the connector nickname and connecting destination. The connector Information (Audio) window opens from the Audio or Wordclock Connection windows. The connector Information (MIDI) window opens from the MIDI Connection window. Vendor Indicates the manufacturer of the node device. Model Nickname Indicates the model of the node device. Connector Nickname Indicates and enables you to change the connector nickname. You cannot use two-byte characters (such as Japanese or Chinese characters). [. . . ] · Turn off all devices on the mLAN network (except the computer) and re-connect each device one-by-one until the device causing the problem is found. · (For Windows) (When removing the mLAN bus from the [Safely Remove Hardware] setting of the task bar. ) Restart the computer when using mLAN again. · With Macintosh notebook computers such as the iBook and PowerBook, always first connect the mLAN device and mLAN cable then turn on the power of the mLAN device, before starting up the computer. · Make sure that you set up the wordclock correctly.
