Setting Up the MU100R 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 MDF2 MIDI Data Filer is used. To back up
data, connect the MIDI IN of the MDF2 to the MIDI OUT of the MU100R.
To restore the data to the MU100R, connect the MIDI OUT of the MDF2 to
the MIDI IN of the MU100R. Refer to the owner's manual of the MDF2 (or
your particular data storage device) for specific operating instructions in
receiving or sending data.

With the MDF2, you can also play compatible song data on the MU100R
directly from the MDF2 itself, without the need of a sequencer. In this case,
the MIDI OUT of the MDF2 should be connected to the MIDI IN of the
MU100R.
• Computer equipped with a MIDI interface
In this setup, you can control the MU100R 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.
