User manual YAMAHA MY8ADDA96

[. . . ] This software includes "mLAN Patchbay" which lets you make settings on your computer to specify the routing of audio/MIDI signals between mLAN devices connected to the MY8-mLAN. For details refer to the separate "mLAN Tools Installation Guide.

Keep hands clear of board components, board circuitry, and metallic leads while carrying out the installation. · Handle the plug-in boards with care. Dropping or subjecting the card to any kind of shock may cause damage or result in a malfunction. · Do not touch the exposed metal parts in the circuit board. Touching these parts may result in a faulty contact. · Take care to avoid dropping screws into the main unit. If a screw does fall in, be sure to remove it before you reassemble and power up the unit. Starting the unit with a loose screw inside may lead to improper operation or to equipment failure. (If you are unable to retrieve a dropped screw, consult your Yamaha dealer for advice. ) 5 English NOTE It is not possible to change the setting of the DIP switch (SW1) after the MY8-mLAN is installed. This will be reflected in the module name (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.

For example on a device such as the Yamaha DA-824 (D/A converter) which provides only the audio INPUT-Plugs described in , enabling the audio OUTPUT-Plugs described in will cause an invalid plug to be displayed when you make mLAN connection settings, even though audio is not actually being output to the mLAN bus. On systems that have plug information for numerous devices, this will complicate the situation. 8 DIP switch settings for typical applications s When the MY8-mLAN is installed in the Yamaha AD824 This device performs A/D conversion of analog audio input, and sends it to other devices on the mLAN bus. Thus for the MY8-mLAN installed in this device, only the audio output plugs are valid, and the audio input plugs and MIDI input/output plugs are invalid. Set the DIP switches as follows. 1-ON, 2-OFF, 3-OFF, 4­8 may be set as desired. (However, be sure not to turn all of them OFF. ) s When the MY8-mLAN is installed in the Yamaha DA824 This device performs D/A conversion of digital audio from another device on the mLAN bus, and outputs it as analog audio. Thus for the MY8-mLAN installed in this device, only the audio input plugs are valid, and the audio output plugs and MIDI input/output plugs are invalid. Set the DIP switches as follows. 1-OFF, 2-ON, 3-OFF, 4­8 may be set as desired. (However, be sure not to turn all of them OFF. ) s Yamaha AW4416 earlier than version 2. 0 (not including 2. 0) This version does not support the MY8-mLAN. [. . . ] · Use the "mLAN Patchbay" application program to make settings from a Windows computer that is equipped with a COM port or other serial port. (However, you will need another mLAN device that has a serial port. ) · Make settings from an mLAN-compatible device (such as the mLAN8P or a synthesizer in which the mLAN option 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. [. . . ]
