mLAN Graphic Patchbay software enables you to set up and manage connections between mLAN
devices using a graphic computer interface to connect and disconnect virtual audio/MIDI connectors
and to synchronize audio/MIDI signals between mLAN devices.
In this manual, setting up audio, MIDI, and wordclock routings is referred as to as making “mLAN
connections.”
You can immediately grasp the connections in their entirety by viewing displayed mLAN system
configuration graphics. You can also intuitively change audio and MIDI signal routing and wordclock
settings, much as if you were connecting physical cables.

Node
Computers and mLAN
devices in an mLAN network
are called “nodes.” These
graphics provide information
about connected nodes
(page 13).
Input and output connectors
These connectors represent virtual audio/
MIDI/wordclock inputs and outputs for
each node. You can route audio/MIDI/
wordclock signals on an mLAN network by
using the graphic user interface to connect
these connectors (page 25).
