Actually, since this is a Firewire connection, you'd use a Firewire hub. However, Yamaha does not suggest that you use a hub to connect an mLAN device. Many devices don't behave in a stable way if you use a hub. The Motif is obviously one of these.

First of all. That's a firewire connection you are talking about. You are think of ethernet. And to that, the answer is yes. How ever, I do believe that it requires sighted assistance.

Hi everyone Does anybody know, if you can connect the motif XS to your PC (Network IEEE-1394) using a switch? Or must it be connected directly to the computer? Kind regards Benjamin
