'mLAN is the integration of audio and MIDI bi-directional transfer over a single FireWire (IEEE 1394) cable. Up to 63 mLAN compatible products may be connected together in any order, and as mLAN ports are hot-pluggable, there is no need to power-down or reset any devices. MLAN is extremely useful in computer-based music production, although compatible products may be connected together without a computer - ideal for live performance situations. The format is supported by Windows XP and Mac OSs 9, and at OS level for Mac OSX platforms. Although mLAN has been developed by Yamaha, over 40 other manufacturers have signed on as licensees, many with products already in the market'Unfortunately it's no possible to connect two computers alone with firewire cable.But there is rumour that this had been achieved in OS 9 with mLAN ASIO drivers, has anyone else know more about this? All I can say about MLan is that the 'Firestation' uses it as a protocol and does NOT use the 1394 as a standard FW port.Many studios gave up and returned them back in the day, they were an absolute nightmare under OS 9 and never worked correctly.
I had 3 pages of notes that I used to use when I had to get them up and running.Just to emphasize this, I have seen them sell for less than $80 on ebay since they are such a nightmare. As far as other Mlan devices, I am not sure how well they operate, but I HATE the firestation and that was my first Mlan experience. QuoteThe FIREstation uses Yamaha's protocol for FireWire recording called mLAN.
- The Yamaha 01V is a digital mixing console that can do a lot for you right at your finger tips. Even though its no longer produced and has been replaced with the 01V96i version from Yamaha. There are still some in the used sections at music stores which could be a big break for you because the price will be way cheaper then what it was when it first came out.
- MLAN Driver/mLAN Tools V1.5.5 for Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Windows XP 64bit mLAN Tools/mLAN Applications for YAMAHA is software that lets you use the following devices with your computer.
Converters, 01X is a fantastic stand-alone digital mixer for small-scale live and studio applications. For larger events, 01X is expandable to 24 inputs via mLAN. 01X will also function independently as an AD converter, effects processor and multi-port MIDI interface. And combined with Yamaha’s Studio Manager software, it is the perfect.

The difference between mLAN and other FireWire recording systems is that mLAN is an 'open' platform allowing compatibility with other manufacturer's hardware including Apogee™, Korg™ and Yamaha™ with many more to come. MLAN stands for 'Music Local Area Network' and works just like a computer network. Multiple mLAN devices can be chained together so that digital audio, MIDI and Word Clock information can be sent to and from each device. Now, audio interfaces, digital mixers and keyboards can all communicate using mLAN.
I never runned MLan under OS9. But I'm very much tented to know at least how my i88x Yamaha interfaces would work with.At least they are,after a long battle driverwise, rock solid under Mac OS X Snow Leo. I even run them on Mountain Lion (MLPostfactor - thing )which installs a 32bit System-Kernel instead of the 64 bit. The latter would not run with the latest mLan driver. There was a MLan - Forum in the newer days.
But some month ago it disappeared from one day to another:. I don't know what happened but probably there's someone in here who knows?I never heard about connecting two Macs with a mLAN ASIO driver.
What would it be for? Seeing as how mlan was deemed such a 'flop'im wondering - is this mostly due to incompatibilities with osx?and people not understanding the technology? Perhaps it was too complicated?theres tons of reports + warnings to stay 'far away' from mlan.but. If u were to fully understand how to make it work. It might make for some of the best deals going because of that stigma. That the equipment is buggy as hell. Etc etc if they are able to work fine with mac os 9 & windows xp.anyone care to comment?
(anything other then the pre-existing stereotypical comments ie: mlan sucks, mlan is buggy, mlan is dead)i was trying to discuss this with diehard but he hasnt been aroundmy idea being,if u could pick up a yamaha 01x, a yamaha i88x + a presonus firestationfor cheap. And get it all to work with eachother. That might be a pretty impressive set up.
Yes it would be limited to using it with older os'. But for some of us thats thats ok. Those were the days. Did not do a whole lot of music but did have a lot of fun anyway.I was a heavy mLAN user back in the day, starting with the 01x mixer/audio interface/controller combo and then the i88X and the 01v96 with the mLAN card.The flexibility afforded by an expanded mLAN setup in terms of the freedom of routing all your IO from all the devices, choosing a clocking scheme, etc. Was very ambitious and, once the software settled, it did work very well.At the same time, it was not a system that was easy to grasp for the novice and I recall a few of us spending long hours on 01xray.com and Mlancentral.com literally what was a lifetime helping other budding users sort out their PC and Mac setups and DAWs with mLAN.The big mistake for Yamaha and mLAN was the tactical decision to use the Apple Firewire OS X audio streaming driver - as did Apogee and a few others with variable success. Apogee Duet 1 and Ensemble users were similarly irked by the driver issues but eventually did manage to churn out their own beta ahead of the others.
There is a lot of speculation on how they managed to do this but that is probably not relevant to this thread at all.What it did mean for mLAN users was that we were stuck with a driver that had a variable recording offset for what felt like an age and that by the time it arrived most people had given up and sold their kit.Eventually, Yamaha bought Steinberg, folded mLAN and from then on just used a Yamaha Steinberg FW driver for the newer units (such as the FW interface for the newer Motifs, for example). The Firestation, as mentioned by Diehard, is an mLAN 1 device and, indeed, was a nightmare in its inception.01x, i88x, my16mlan card for the mixers and so on are mLAN 2.0 devices. Once the drivers became stable, you could use a Firestation as part of an mLAN network with mLAN 2 devices quite successfully as there was a firmware/driver upgrade for it.
Even so, the firewire bandwidth was only 200Mbits on the Firestation and latency was also worse than on the native 2.0 devices so the best mlAN setup was one that only had mLAN 2 devices onlyIf you go down this route, I still recall a lot about how it worked and how to best set it up with regards to Studio Manager and the mLAN patchbay app. So should be able to answer many questions.I used it all the way through my Powerbook G4 17, an Xserve dual G4 and then a PCI G5 at the time and only let go of it once I moved to a Mac Pro in 2009. Strangely enough, upgrades do not always result in productivity.As you suspect yourself it was incredibly flexible!You should be able to use the 01x as a control surface for Live with motorised faders - although I do not recall at what version Ableton Live implemented the Mackie Control protocol.Version 1.5.2 of the drivers is the one to get for OS 9. Not relevant to this forum obviously 1.2.0 is the stable version for OS X 10.4.x&10.5.x. I know something about these, but still looking for older mLAN devices to my setup.Older mLAN devices called 'mLAN a' or mLAN S200 only works in OS 9 Only exception is Presonus Firestation, because you can firmware upgrade it to 'mLAN b'.
Most of mLAN devices are mLAN S400 (mLAN b).I looking for also mLAN S200 (mLAN a) application package called mLAN Tools. I think version numbers 1.0.1-1.3 are for S200. Also there should be more interesting software called mLAN Mixer and it is for mLAN S200 devices that has serial port too. With that program you can setup levels for audio signals in mLAN 'lines'.So if somebody has files for older mLAN devices, please share them for historic reasons. Even if you have something for Presonus before firmware upgrade versions.
Id believe it. It would make sense to me that alot of the mlan bashing was coming from people who upgraded to osx at first chanceit was a turbulent time back then so to speak.lots of changes going on, with windows XP taking over the windows world. Aswell as the jump to osx.alot of hardware that was built with win9x/classic mac os was left in the dust mere months after it was madethis is why the audio industry is so fickle too, manufacturers have been burnt so many times, they are totally afraid to make any new interface in big quanities and to keep producing them, because they know that things change ta the drop of a hat and everyone upgrades os + buys a new computer with different ports/form factors etcwhats funny is all the people that upgrade literally look down on those that dont. Meanwhile they are the ones that always have the compatibility problems haha changing their rigs always + never getting anything done. It seems buying is so hard to my synth.
I have Yamaha CS6x and it fits with only with Yamaha mLAN 8E. That mLan 8E is oneof the first mLAN devices and Yamaha took some of them back it has one hard problem, it cannot play recorded audio back from computer,but I am still ready to buy it, if I see one sale somewhere. I have seen one for sale with Yamaha Motif6 in this year, but sellerdoesn't wanted send it. And in Motif6 the mLAN 8E is very useless, because it is better with AIEB2 digital I/O.If somebody has Motif ES for mLAN:If somebody has lot of money can test mLAN with this. Actually, the practical application was quite the opposite.
I can say, myself, my own experience, that the magical firmware update for that compatibility completely bricked my firestation, and I was far from the only one. Presonus at that point was so sick of supporting the device they basically completely signed off on it and refused to help me any further. This was because I had updated my device after their swap/upgrade window (that's how awful these things were. Presonus for a time was basically giving away Firepods to people who had firestations because they were such a flawed product).
Presonus swore up and down that the problem was Yamaha's buggy firmware.That was almost 15 years ago and I swore I would never buy a Presonus device again (or Yamaha for that matter). Its a damn shame too because, besides for mLAN, the firestation was an amazing interface.

The power transformer in them was one of the biggest ive ever seen in a 1U device, like the size of a hockey puck.
