System Examples

This section introduces typical system examples that feature the mLAN16E. Refer to
these examples for information on connecting external devices, such as microphones,
musical instruments, and computers.
NOTE
Connecting a MOTIF ES to a computer
Use an IEEE1394 cable to connect the IEEE1394 connector on an IEEE1394-compatible
computer to the mLAN connector on an mLAN16E-equipped MOTIF ES. Use the mLAN
Auto Connector or mLAN Graphic Patchbay (See page 12) software application on the
computer to patch the audio and MIDI signals and to set up the wordclock. Connect-
ing the MOTIF ES to the computer via mLAN enables you to do the following:
• Transfer data of multiple audio channels between the MOTIF ES and the computer
• Simultaneously record in the sequence software (a) your performance on the MOTIF
ES and (b) the performance of the computer sequence software that uses the MOTIF
ES as a MIDI tone generator
• Monitor via the MOTIF ES the audio output from the computer and the audio out-
put from the MOTIF ES

For information on installing the mLAN16E, refer to the section in the
owner's manual for your mLAN16E-compatible device on "Installing
Optional Hardware."
The number of audio channels and MIDI connectors used for data transfer
varies depending on the mLAN16E-compatible device. MOTIF ES can provide
up to 4 Stereo In/16 Mono (8 Stereo) Out audio channels and 4 In/4 Out MIDI
connectors.
If you select "Normal Voice" or "Plug-in Voice" in Voice mode on the MOTIF
ES, audio signals are output only from OUTPUT L/R.
For more information on the MOTIF ES inputs and outputs and corresponding
mLAN IN/OUT, refer to the "Connections," "Quick Guide–Computer applica-
tions" and "Audio Input Part (AUDIO IN)" sections of the MOTIF ES Owner's
Manual.
Use Auto Connector or Graphic Patchbay to change the number of audio
channels that communicate with the computer. To minimize the load on the
computer, do not make mLAN connections in Auto Connector or Graphic
Patchbay using any unused channels.
