Setting Up the MU100 in Your Music System
• MIDI data storage device
This setup is used for backing up your important data — including original
Performances you've created, as well as settings you've changed in the Part
Edit, Effect, EQ, or Utility modes.
In this example, a Yamaha MDF3 MIDI Data Filer is used. To back up
data, connect the MIDI IN of the MDF3 to the MIDI OUT of the MU100. To
restore the data to the MU100, connect the MIDI OUT of the MDF3 to the
MIDI IN of the MU100. Refer to the owner's manual of the MDF3 (or your
particular data storage device) for specific operating instructions in receiv-
ing or sending data.

With the MDF3, you can also play compatible song data on the MU100
directly from the MDF3 itself, without the need of a sequencer. In this case,
the MIDI OUT of the MDF3 should be connected to the MIDI IN of the
MU100.
• Computer equipped with a MIDI interface
In this setup, you can control the MU100 from a computer (using sequenc-
ing or other song playback software). In a variation on this, you can connect
the computer to MIDI-A and a keyboard to MIDI-B. This allows you to play
parts live over sequencer playback — even if the sequencer uses all 16 MIDI
channels.
