with a Computer/Sequencer
By connecting the MU15 to a computer or sequencer, you have a powerful
music system for playing back songs and even creating your own songs, using
the Voices of the MU15.
First, you'll have to make sure that the MU15 is properly connected to the
computer or sequencer, and that your music software is ready to run. (Refer to
page 37 for connection examples and instructions.) If you are using the TO
HOST terminal or if both MIDI terminals are properly connected, you should be
able to play songs from your software and enter notes to the software from
the MU15.
Using the MU15 with a MIDI Data Storage Device
You can also use the MU15 with a MIDI data storage device, such as
the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI Data Filer. This lets you save or back up
changes you've made in the settings of the Edit mode. Then, when
you want to recall those settings, you can transfer the appropriate
data from the storage device.
The MDF3 also allows you to play compatible song data on the
MU15 directly from the MDF3 itself, without the need of a se-
quencer.
Make sure that the MU15 is properly connected to the data storage
device (via MIDI). (Refer to page 66 for the connection example.)
Use the Dump Out function (page 65) to send data to the device.
Also refer to the owner's manual of your data storage device for
specific operating instructions in receiving or sending data.
The MU15 features a built-in host computer interface, allowing you to directly
connect it to your computer — eliminating the need for installing a special
MIDI interface to your computer. This also makes it easier to use the MU15
