What It Can Do; Using With Midi Keyboard; Using With A Computer Or Sequencer - Yamaha MU80 Owner's Manual

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
register. Or you can create sophisticated velocity splits, in which 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.
