CME, in conjunction with Terratec, announces the mLAN-enabled UF400e FireWire audio expansion board for UF series MIDI/USB keyboard controllers.
With the UF400e, CME UF series become the world's first mLAN compatible MIDI/USB keyboard controllers. Through a single FireWire interface, these keyboard controllers can be connected with Yamaha digital mixers, synthesizers, audio work stations and all mLAN compatible devices by other manufacturers, and the MIDI and audio signal flow between these devices may be routed freely without reconfiguring cable connections. With mLAN-enabled UF400e, a UF series keyboard controller can bear the responsibility of being the master keyboard of a recording studio.
Specifications:
-2 High quality 24bit/192kHz line input
-2 High quality 24bit/192kHz line output
-1 Mic in with professional preamp
-1 guitar Hi-z input
-1 IEEE1394 FireWire interface
-1 S/PDIF digital I/O
-2 high quality headphone output
-1 MIDI OUT port
-1 MIDI IN port
-1 MIDI THRU port
-1 headphone volume control
*Specification are subject to change without notice
UF400e expansion board will be available June 15th at a price of $249.00.
About mLAN:
Developed by Yamaha and based on FireWire, mLAN is an open protocol for the transport of audio, MIDI and synchronization data. This digital network for music applications employs and extends IEEE 1394, the industry standard high-performance serial bus more commonly known as FireWire.
Many manufacturers have already joined the mLAN Alliance because mLAN was designed as an open rather than a proprietary solution. This organization's goal is to promote the development of mLAN-compatible devices that are easily integrated into the net and operated. A single driver and just one patch bay application support all mLAN-enabled devices within the network. In practice, this means that the given audio software (for example, Cubase or Logic) addresses all devices simultaneously via a single ASIO or CoreAudio driver, just as if the entire setup was a single device.
In addition, the MIDI and audio signal flow may be routed freely and data stored without reconfiguring cable connections. What's more, mLAN-compatible devices may be connected to each other without the benefit of a computer, for example, in order to extend the number and types of ports on a digital mixer. To date, mLAN support has been limited to devices equipped with Yamaha's FireWire Controller chips.
