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
necessary with previous systems).
The MY8-mLAN adds two mLAN connectors to the Yamaha AW4416 or AW2816 professional
audio workstations, or to the Yamaha 01V digital mixing console etc. (Consult your Yamaha
dealer for details of other applicable Yamaha equipment.)

About the included CD-ROM
The included CD-ROM contains software that is useful when used in conjunction with the
MY8-mLAN. This software includes “mLAN Patchbay” which lets you make settings on
your computer to specify the routing of audio/MIDI signals between mLAN devices con-
nected to the MY8-mLAN. For details refer to the separate “mLAN Tools Installation
Guide.”
