![]() ![]() While I was researching my book, I tried calling Yamaha, Korg, and Tascam, just to get them to name one product they make that uses mLAN. But good luck trying to dig up actual products on this already-modest list. Semi-impressive because some of them (eMagic) don’t even exist any more. ![]() There’s a semi-impressive list of partner companies supposedly working on mLAN on Yamaha’s partners page. Sounds great - except, years into the mLAN format, that hasn’t happened. But Yamaha has long claimed that mLAN would become a new industry standard format, embraced by other manufacturers. mLAN is a perfectly reasonable, FireWire-based technology for interconnecting audio devices, and it does work on a handful of Yamaha pieces. Uh, okay, here’s why I’m skeptical about this. “July 2006: This is the year when mLAN FireWire Music Networking breaks loose!” Yamaha proudly proclaims on the mLAN Central website! Woo-hoo! Break it loose! Shake it down! mLAN, baby!
