Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha i88X Audio/MIDI Interface.
Connecting the i88X to a computer expands music production environments that utilize an audio
sequencer on the computer.
The i88X supports mLAN, a digital music network based on the IEEE1394 high performance serial
bus and data protocol. The i88X makes it easy to construct sophisticated networks for IEEE1394
audio and MIDI signals without having to re-configure complicated cabling, as was necessary on
earlier conventional systems.
In order to take full advantage of the i88X’s functionality, please read this manual carefully. After
reading this manual, please keep it available for future reference.
