Fundamentals of mLAN
mLAN is a digital network for music that was developed based on IEEE1394, an indus-
try-standard high-performance data communications protocol.
Digital music environments that do not feature mLAN require dozens of cables for vari-
ous devices and purposes, including MIDI cables and audio cables to route MIDI and
audio signals. If you wish to make changes to such systems, you must physically discon-
nect and re-connect these cables.
For example, adding another synthesizer to a system requires two MIDI cables and two
or more cables for audio (for stereo equipment). Making the appropriate connections
may require special knowledge of inputs, outputs, stereo settings, and perhaps connec-
tor impedance.
