About the name of mLAN plugs:
Some mLAN plug names start with an asterisk (*). This means that they are directly connected to the
rear panel connectors of the mLAN8P. For example, “*IN (MIDI IN)” plug outputs signals input at the
MIDI IN terminal (on the rear panel of the mLAN8P) to the mLAN bus. This plug is regarded as an
mLAN output plug, but the name includes “*IN” since it outputs signals input at the MIDI IN terminal.
In the same way, “*OUT-A (*MIDI OUT-A)” plug is an mLAN input plug, but the name includes “*OUT-
A” since it inputs signals output at MIDI OUT-A on the rear panel.

Internal Configuration of the mLAN8P
The diagram on the left illustrates the entire signal flow.
You can set the input source and output destination for audio and MIDI signals of the various devices
after they are connected to the mLAN8P. The mLAN8P, especially with its 12-channel digital mixer
function, supports a broad range of applications, serving as the core of a music production studio.
You can set the input source and output destination for various signals and use the mixer function
not only from the mLAN8P of the mLAN8P, but also from a computer by using the included
mLAN Tools.
The mLAN8P mixer section features Direct mode and Mixer mode. When the mLAN Mixer is
not being used, the unit is in Direct mode, in which signals are input and output directly. When
the mLAN Mixer is being used, the unit enters Mixer mode. The default setting (when you turn
on the power to the unit) is Direct mode.
*1 Built-in effect processor. (Use the included application software “mLAN Mixer” to set the effect parame-
ters.) For more information on the effect processor, refer to the Data List in the mLAN Mixer Instruction
Manual (PDF file). For more information on the structure of the digital mixer section, refer to the Block
Diagram in the mLAN Mixer Owner’s Manual.
*2 Specify which digital jack is used, COAXIAL IN or OPTICAL IN. (page 33.)
*3 For mLAN audio inputs, you can select from any 8 channels on the bus (system).
