Yamaha MU100 Owner's Manual page 5

Welcome to the MU100
Welcome to the MU100
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MU100 Tone
Generator!
The MU100 is an advanced tone generator providing an amazing total of
1313 high-quality Voices, full General MIDI compatibility — including
Yamaha's XG — plus flexible computer interfacing in a compact, easy-
to-use half-rack unit.
With the convenient built-in host computer interface and MIDI termi-
nals, the MU100 is ideal for any computer music system — from connec-
tion to a simple laptop to integration in a complete MIDI studio. With its
large LCD and the intuitive graphic controls on the display, the MU100 is
remarkably easy to use.
The MU100 also features completely independent dual MIDI inputs, 32
Part multi-timbral capacity and full 64-note polyphony for playback of
even the most sophisticated song data. A special Performance mode
gives you flexible four-Voice operation, for live performance applications.
Also built into the system are six digital multi-effects and two EQ sec-
tions (one per-part, and one overall), which give you enormous versatility
in "sweetening" the sound. What's more, the MU100 provides a host of
comprehensive, yet easy-to-use editing tools for getting just the sound you
need.
The MU100 has a convenient A/D input that allows you to connect a mi-
crophone, electric guitar or other instrument, and mix those signals with
the MU100's Voices. A plug-in connector is also built into the MU100 for
easy integration with the XG Plug-in System.
