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.

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.)
