Overview The Yamaha Music Laboratory Controller is a music education system that combines Yamaha know-how in music education and electronics technology. This system is built to support communication between students and instructors and to provide more fluid guidance on individual and group performances. Instructors use the ML Touch application on an iPad to operate the entire system, such as checking students' performances, responding to questions and sending performance data.

Up to 24 subordinate units for students can be connected to one MRX7-D. At maximum, a system can be built to connect 96 subordinate units with four MRX7-Ds.
