Playing Song Data

Once you set up your computer or sequencer with the MU15, you're ready to
play back song data using the Voices of the MU15. Although any GM-compat-
ible song data can be played, the MU15 will sound best when used with XG-
compatible song data.
By using Yamaha's XGworks Music Sequencer software, you can create your
own XG song data. Since XGworks also features a special XG Editor, you can
conveniently and easily edit any of the "hidden" parameters of the MU15.
This gives you comprehensive control over the Voices and effects. (For more
information on the "hidden" parameters, see the "MIDI Data Format" section,
page 91.)
When you do any editing to the MU15 for your own songs, you should save
your settings (as System Exclusive data) to the computer with the Dump Out
function (page 65). It's especially useful to record this data at the beginning of
a song, so that the MU15 will be set properly for the particular song. Make
sure to enter several measures of silence before the song starts to accommo-
date the System Exclusive data.
