[1] Uninstall n Driver, AI Driver or mLAN Driver/mLAN Tools and Extensions for

Steinberg DAW (32-bit version only)

If these software are installed to your computer, follow the instructions below to uninstall them. If they are necessary for data com-

munication with the devices other than the n8/n12, you can maintain the mLAN Driver/mLAN Tools in your computer.

NOTE

Please note the following points if you maintain the mLAN Driver/mLAN Tools in the computer

• If you are using mLAN Driver/mLAN Tools V1.6.2, update them to V1.6.3 (or higher) before installing TOOLS for n Version2. This is neces-

sary because the Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver cannot work properly with the mLAN Driver/mLAN Tools V1.6.2 installed.

• When using Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver, make sure to disable the mLAN Driver. If this is enabled (on), Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver cannot

work because the mLAN Driver uses the IEEE1394 interface. When using the mLAN Driver, make sure to turn off any devices compatible with

Yamaha Steinberg FW Driver or disconnect them from the computer before enabling the mLAN driver. Note that you may not need to disable

the mLAN driver when the computer is equipped with multiple IEEE1394 interfaces and a device compatible with Yamaha Steinberg FW

driver is connected to the different IEEE1394 interface from the other used by the mLAN driver.
