The bar graph scrolls when data is being transmitted, and it stops when no data is transmitted. E Audio Sequences This parameter enables you to specify the number of sequences of mLAN audio data transmitted from the computer. One sequence corresponds to one channel. The value is an even number ranging from 0 through 32. The specified number of monaural audio sequences is always output to FireWire, regardless of whether the current application uses mLAN. (If the application program does not use mLAN, mLAN audio data indicating "silence (flat waveform with a level of 0)" will be output. ) F MIDI Sequences This parameter enables you to specify the number of sequences of MIDI data transmitted from the computer via mLAN. One sequence corresponds to one MIDI cable. The specified number of MIDI sequences is always output to FireWire, regardless of whether the current application uses mLAN. (If the application program does not use mLAN, mLAN MIDI data indicating "No data" will be output. ) The higher the number of sequences, the greater the load applied to the computer. The actual number of sequences that can be correctly transmitted depends on the performance of your computer and the type of application program. G Select Destinations. . . Click here to open a dialog box that enables you to select an mLAN device to receive mLAN data from the computer. The dialog box (page 6) opens after the system scans and recognizes the connected mLAN devices. 5 "Select Destinations" dialog box This dialog box enables you to specify the mLAN devices and mLAN plugs that receive mLAN data from the computer. A B C 1 Device pop-up menus D E F G These pop-up menus enable you to select mLAN devices to which data is transmitted. If the computer receives IEEE1394 audio/MIDI data via a non-mLAN device such as another computer and if you know its Isochronous Channel number, the data can be received by specifying that number here. L Audio Sequences This parameter displays the number of mLAN audio sequences to be received. If this number does not match the actual number in the received data, a red warning message "Not Match" flashes on the right. To match the number to that of the data being received, click the [Fit Sequences] button. M MIDI Sequences This parameter displays the number of mLAN MIDI sequences to be received. If this number does not match the actual number in the received data, a red warning message "Not Match" flashes on the right. To match the number to that of the data being received, click the [Fit Sequences] button. N Select Source. . . Click here to open the dialog box to select an mLAN device that transmits mLAN data to the computer. The dialog box opens after the system scans and recognizes the connected mLAN devices. 8 "Select Source" dialog box This dialog box enables you to specify the mLAN device that transmits mLAN data to the computer. A 1 Device List/Output Plugs The Device List displays the list of connected mLAN devices. Select a device, and the Output Plugs column will show a list of mLAN plugs included in the selected device. When you select a transmitting device and click the [OK] button, the selected device starts transmitting mLAN data to the computer. B C D E F "Axx:" and "Mxx:" in the plug names mean "the xxth audio sequence" and "the xxth MIDI sequence" respectively. The sequences are received in the order shown in the Output Plugs list. 2 Disconnect Click this button to cancel the device selection. Click [OK] under this condition to disconnect all virtual transmission (mLAN connections) from the mLAN devices to the computer. 3 Update Click this button to initiate a system check and update of the condition of the connected mLAN devices. Use this button if the settings on the mLAN devices are changed after the mLAN Control Panel is started. 4 Revert Click to reset the dialog box to its original status when first opened. 5 OK Click to enable the dialog box settings and close the dialog box. 6 Cancel Click to close the dialog box without applying the changes you have made. [. . . ] Using the mLAN OMS Driver enables MIDI data transmission and reception via mLAN, using sequencer software that supports OMS. Installing the driver First, install mLAN driver and OMS. Drag and drop the "OMS mLAN" file into the "OMS" folder inside the "System" folder. When you start the OMS Setup application and select "MIDI Cards & Interfaces. . . " from the "Studio" menu, mLAN icons equivalent to the number of installed FireWire (IEEE1394) interface cards appear. Therefore, to transmit and receive MIDI data, select "Studio" "New device. . . " and create a number of devices to match the number of ports used by mLAN, and connect them under the mLAN device. [. . . ]
