Saving And Opening An Mlan Graphic Patchbay File Or Template File - Yamaha mLAN Owner's Manual

Saving and Opening an mLAN Graphic
Patchbay File or Template File
You can store mLAN connection settings in a file (extension: *ymp) or in a template file (extension:
*ymt), and retrieve them later. The difference between a file and template file is as follow:
■ File (*ymp)
An mLAN Graphic Patchbay file enables you to store and retrieve all mLAN Graphic Patchbay settings.
If your mLAN devices are fixed, as for example in a home recording environment, store the settings in a
file. Since the file stores an ID number for each device, you cannot use the stored mLAN connection
settings if you replace a unit, even with another unit of the same model.
■ Template File (*ymt)
An mLAN Graphic Patchbay template file enables you to store and retrieve all mLAN Graphic Patchbay
settings other than model nicknames and connector nicknames. If you replace a unit, as long as the new
unit is the same model as the previous unit, you will be able to use the stored mLAN connection
settings.
A template file is useful when you wish to recreate your home-recording mLAN connections on devices
in another studio. If you save your basic mLAN connections in a template file, you will not need to set
up the connections from scratch when you visit another studio. This will enable you to configure a
network quickly and efficiently.
File names and template file names on Macintosh computers do not include an
NOTE
extension.
