THE MU90R — WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT CAN DO

About the Modes of the MU90R

The MU90R has two main operating modes: Multi and Performance. In
Multi mode, the MU90R is a 32-Part multi-timbral tone generator; in Per-
formance mode, the MU90R effectively functions as four tone generators
controlled over a single MIDI channel.
Which mode the MU90R is in depends on the selected Sound Module
mode. If XG, TG300B or C/M are selected, the MU90R automatically sets
itself to the Multi mode. When PFM is selected, the MU90R is in the Per-
formance mode.

Play Modes and the Part Controls

Once the operating mode of the MU90R is set (Multi or Performance),
there are two main ways you can use the MU90R: 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 set-
tings for the Parts. The Single Part controls allow you to make independent
settings for each Part, while the All Part controls allow you to change the over-
all settings of all Parts. (See pages 41 and 46 for more information.)
