HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

How to Use This Manual

You are probably eager to try out your new MU80 Tone Generator right

away and hear what it can do, rather than have to read through a lot of in-

structions before you can even get a sound out of it.

However, to get the most out of your MU80, we strongly suggest that

you read the following sections in the order given:

1) Precautions

This gives you important information on how to care for your new

MU80, how to avoid damaging, and how to ensure long-term, reliable

operation.

2) The Controls of the MU80

This section introduces you to the panel controls and connectors.

3) The MU80 — What It Is and What It Can Do

This briefly provides an overview of the functions and features of the

MU80 and offers some important hints on how you can use it effectively.

4) Guided Tour

This very important section gets you started using your new MU80. It

helps you set up the instrument, play it, and use some of the more im-

portant functions and features. The hands-on experience you gain in

this section will help you navigate through the other sections of the

manual.

5) Setting Up the MU80 in Your Music System;

Using the MU80 with a Computer

These sections (within the Guided Tour) provide all you need to know

to effectively integrate the MU80 into your present computer music

system.

6) Reference

Once you’re familiar with everything above, lightly go over this com-

prehensive guide to all editing functions. You won’t need (or want) to

read everything at once, but it is there for you to refer to when you need

information about a certain feature or function.

7) Appendix

Finally, use the sections in the Appendix as necessary. For example, the

Index will come in handy when you need to quickly find information

on a specific topic. Other sections, such as the Glossary, Trouble-

shooting and Error Messages provide additional useful information.

PRECAUTIONS

vii

Precautions

Your MU80 will give you years of reliable service if you follow the simple

precautions below:

■ LOCATION

Keep the instrument away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to

high temperatures (such as direct sunlight) or humidity. Also avoid loca-

tions which are subject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which

could cause mechanical damage.

■ USE THE CORRECT POWER ADAPTOR

Use only the recommended PA-1207 Power Adaptor for supplying power

to the instrument. Use of another adaptor may cause serious damage to the

instrument or the adaptor itself.

■

MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF WHEN MAKING OR REMOVING

CONNECTIONS

To prevent damage to the instrument and other connected equipment, al-

ways turn off the power prior to connecting or disconnecting cables. Also,

turn the power off when the instrument is not in use, and disconnect the

power adaptor during electric storms.

■ HANDLE THE INSTRUMENT WITH CARE

Although the instrument has been constructed to withstand the rigors of

normal use for optimum sturdiness and reliability, avoid subjecting it to

strong physical shocks (such as dropping or hitting it). Since the MU80 is a

precision-made electronic device, also avoid applying excessive force to the

various controls. When moving the instrument, first unplug the power adap-

tor and all other cables to prevent damage to cords and jacks. Always un-

plug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the cable.

■ CLEAN WITH A SOFT, DRY CLOTH

Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the instrument, since

these will damage the cabinet finish or dull the keys. Wipe clean with a

soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a soft, clean, slightly moistened cloth —

making sure to wipe the case off again with a dry cloth.

viii

PRECAUTIONS

■ ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

Avoid using the unit near televisions, radios or other equipment generating

electromagnetic fields. Proximity to such equipment may cause the unit to

malfunction, and may generate interference noise in the other appliance as

well.

■ DO NOT OPEN THE CASE OR TRY REPAIRING THE INSTRUMENT

YOURSELF

The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Never open the case or

tamper with the internal circuitry in any way, since doing so may result in

damage to the instrument. Refer all servicing to qualified Yamaha service

personnel.

■ MIDI CABLES

When connecting the instrument to other MIDI equipment, be sure to use

only high-quality cables made especially for MIDI data transmission. Also,

avoid using cables longer than 15 meters, since long cables can result in

data errors.

Yamaha is not responsible for damage caused by improper han-

dling or operation.

THE MU80 — WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT CAN DO

The MU80 — What It Is and What It Can Do

What It Is…

The MU80 is a compact, highly portable and easy-to-use tone generator. It

features full General MIDI Level 1 compatibility with 128 General MIDI

Voices and 9 drum kits. It also provides new XG-MIDI (Extended General

MIDI) compatibility, with a total of 537 Voices and 11 drum kits. The

MU80 has 64-note polyphony and is 32-Part multi-timbral. In other words,

the MU80 has 32 different Parts, each with its own Voice, so that up to 32

different Voices can be sounded simultaneously. Since the MU80 features

dual MIDI input ports (A and B), 16 Parts can be played from one MIDI

port and the remaining 16 from the other port.

The MU80 also has a TO HOST terminal for easy interfacing with a

computer, allowing you to play the Voices using your favorite music soft-

ware. This is where the advanced multi-timbral capabilities come in, letting

you playing sophisticated arrangements using up to 32 different Voices at

the same time.

The MU80 also features a special Performance mode, in which four Parts

are played simultaneously over a single MIDI channel. Connected to a MIDI

keyboard, this effectively gives you four tone generators in one. The MU80

gives you two sets of 64 factory-programmed Preset Performances plus 128

Internal Performance locations for your own original Performances.

About General MIDI

General MIDI is a new addition to the worldwide MIDI standard. MIDI, as

you know, stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and makes it

possible for various electronic musical instruments and other devices to

“communicate” with each other. For example, by connecting a sequencer

to the MU80’s MIDI IN terminal, you could play back a song on the

sequencer using the Voices of the MU80.

So, where does General MIDI fit in all of this? One of the most impor-

tant features of General MIDI is in the standardization of Voices. This

means that a song recorded in the General MIDI format can be played back

on any General MIDI compatible tone generator and sound just as the com-

poser intended. For example, if there is an alto sax solo in the song, it will

be played by an alto sax Voice on the General MIDI tone generator (and

not by a tuba or harpsichord!). Since the MU80 is fully compatible with

General MIDI, you can take advantage of the vast wealth of musical mate-

rial recorded in that format.

THE MU80 — WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT CAN DO

What It Can Do…

Here are a few ideas on how you can use the MU80. The list below is not

comprehensive, but is meant to be a general guide to the possibilities and

provide a starting point or springboard for your own creative ideas and ex-

plorations.

Using With MIDI Keyboard

Use the MU80 as supplementary tone generator with your MIDI keyboard

and play the Voices of both instruments in a layer together. Or, use the con-

venient Performance mode, and play four Voices on the MU80 at once. You

can split the four Voices across the keyboard, playing each from a different

Voice is heard depending on how strongly you play the keyboard. Or use

keyboard and velocity splits together for even greater flexibility.

Using With a Computer or Sequencer

Home Studio Setup

The MU80 integrates instantly and easily into any existing setup. If you

have a MIDI keyboard, computer and sequencing software, the MU80 with

its high-quality Voices and multi-timbral capabilities can expand your home

studio system.

Carry It With You

If you have a laptop computer (and sequencing software), simply connect

the MU80, plug in some headphones and you’ve got a complete, high-pow-

ered music making system that’s ready to go wherever you go. Use it for

composing, arranging, practicing or making/playing demos for your band.

Multimedia

Since it’s portable and compatible with General MIDI, the MU80 is a natu-

ral for multimedia applications. Bring it with you to a presentation — since

the computer interface is built-in to the MU80, it hooks up instantly and

easily to the computer’s serial port or printer port, without the need for any

other equipment.

THE MU80 — WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT CAN DO

About the Modes of the MU80

The MU80 has two main operating modes: Multi and Performance. In

Multi mode, the MU80 is a 32-Part multi-timbral tone generator; in Per-

formance mode, the MU80 effectively functions as four tone generators

controlled over a single MIDI channel.

Which mode the MU80 is in depends on the selected Sound Module

mode. If XG, TG300B or C/M are selected, the MU80 automatically sets

itself to the Multi mode. When PFM is selected, the MU80 is in the Per-

formance mode.

The bottom right of the display indicates the currently selected Sound Mod-

ule mode.

Selected Sound Module mode.

Play Modes and the Part Controls

Once the operating mode of the MU80 is set (Multi or Performance), there

are two main ways you can use the MU80: playing and editing. In the Play

modes, you play the Voices; in the various Edit modes, you change their

settings.

Within the Play modes are the Part controls. These let you make basic

settings for the Parts. The Single Part controls allow you to make independ-

ent settings for each Part, while the All Part controls allow you to change

the overall settings of all Parts. (See page 36 for more information.)

laneous operations, such as sending bulk data to a data storage device, ini-

tializing of the MU80 settings, and playing the special Demo song.

Part Edit Mode

The Part Edit mode allows you to change certain settings for each indi-

vidual Part, such as those of the Filter, EG (Envelope Generator), and many

other settings. The internal Voices can be sounded during editing, allowing

you to hear the effects of your edits.
