6mLAN (IEEE1394) connector 1, 2 (only MOTIF
XS8) (page 44)
The MOTIF XS is equipped with two mLAN connectors to
which a IEEE1394 (6-pin) cable can be plugged in. These
connectors enable you to connect the MOTIF XS to
IEEE1394-compatible (FireWire/i.LINK) computers. If the
connecting device features a 6-pin IEEE1394 jack, use a
standard 6-pin to 6-pin IEEE1394 cable. If it features a 4-
pin IEEE1394 jack, use a standard 6-pin to 4-pin IEEE1394
cable.
7mLAN expansion board (mLAN16E2) cover
(MOTIF XS6, MOTIF XS7) (page 294)
The optional mLAN16E2 can be installed by removing this
cover of the MOTIF XS6/MOTIF XS7. By installing an
mLAN16E2 board, you can upgrade your MOTIF XS6 or
MOTIF XS7 for convenient and easy connection to an
IEEE1394-compatible computer.
nYamaha recommends that you use an IEEE1394 cable with a
length of 4.5 meters or less.
nThe digital audio output via the mLAN connector is fixed to a
resolution of 24 bit/44.1 kHz.

About mLAN
“mLAN” is a digital network
designed for musical applications.
It uses and extends the industry standard IEEE1394 high
performance serial bus. By connecting an mLAN-
equipped MOTIF XS (a MOTIF XS6/7 to which the
optional mLAN16E2 is installed or a MOTIF XS8) to a
computer in a peer-to-peer connection via an IEEE1394
cable, you can transfer audio data for all channels and
MIDI data for all ports simultaneously between the MOTIF
XS and the computer. This kind of connection, its
capabilities and uses are referred to as “mLAN” in this
Owner’s Manual and the MOTIF XS instrument.
