e Editor/Librarian communicates with the modwave using networking over USB, as opposed to MIDI. To
automatically identify and connect with the modwave over the network, the Editor/Librarian uses the mDNS standard.
On Windows, this requires Apple Inc.’s Bonjour, and so this is installed along with the Editor/Librarian application.
