11 The MU5 — What It Is and What It Can Do ■ What It Is... The MU5 is a compact, highly portable and easy-to-use tone generator. It features full General MIDI Level 1 compatibility with 128 General MIDI Voices and 8 drum kits. The MU5 has 28-Voice polyphony and is 16-Part multi-timbral.
12 ■ What It Can Do... Here are a few ideas on how you can use the MU5. The list below is not comprehensive, but is meant to be a general guide to the possibilities and provide a starting point or springboard for your own creative ideas and explo- rations.
13 ● Perform With It Bring it with you to a gig — as long as there ’ s a MIDI keyboard on stage, you can use the high-quality sounds of MU5 in your performance. ● Multimedia Since it ’ s portable and compatible with General MIDI, the MU5 is a natural for multimedia applications.
14 CAUTION! ■ Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the PA-3, PA-4 or PA-40. The use of an incompat- ible adaptor may result in irreparable damage to the MU5, and even pose a serious shock hazard. (Never use the PA-3B.) ■ Be sure to disconnect the power adaptor from the outlet when the MU5 is not in use.
15 ● Using Batteries To use the MU5 on battery power, insert six 1.5V AA size (SUM-3, R-6 or equivalent) manganese or alkaline batteries in the battery compartment. Make sure to follow the polarity indications on the bottom case (and as shown below).
16 ■ Audio Connections In order to hear your MU5, you ’ ll have to make certain audio connections. You can listen to the MU5 by using a set of stereo headphones or by connect- ing it to an amplifier/speaker system. ● Using Headphones Connect a set of stereo headphones (with a stereo miniature plug) to the LINE OUT/PHONES jack.
17 As you learned in the section The MU5 — What It Is and What It Can Do on page 11, the MU5 can be integrated into a variety of setups. It would be impossible to cover all connection possibilities in a short manual as this; however, the section below will help in quickly setting up the MU5 and using it in your system.
18 Macintosh Follow these instructions if you have an Apple Macintosh that is not equipped with an external MIDI interface. Connect the TO HOST terminal on the MU5 to the Modem or Printer port on the Macintosh. Operation 1 Set the HOST SELECT switch to MAC.
19 IBM PC and Clones Follow these instructions if you have an IBM PC/AT or compat- ible computer that is not equipped with an external MIDI inter- face. Connect the TO HOST terminal on the MU5 to one of the computer ’ s serial ports, COM 1 or COM 2.
20 NEC PC-9800 Series The NEC PC-9800 Series computers are widely used in Japan. For use with these computers, set the HOST SELECT switch on the MU5 to PC-1. Operation is the same as for the PC-2 setting explained above. The only difference between PC-1 and PC-2 is the communication baud rate.
21 Operation 1 Set the HOST SELECT switch to MIDI. 2 Connect the MU5 to the appropriate MIDI device, as shown in the illustrations above. Use a standard MIDI cable (see page 22).
22 ■ MIDI/Computer Connecting Cables ● MIDI Standard MIDI cable. Maximum length 15 meters. 4 4 2 (GND) 2 5 5 DIN 5-PIN DIN 5-PIN ● Macintosh Apple Macintosh Peripheral cable (M0197).
23 Playing the Demo Song Now that you ’ ve set everything up properly, try playing the built-in Demo Song. This showcases the high-quality Voices and the AWM tone generation system of the MU5. Operation 1 Simultaneously hold down the s buttons and press the E button.
24 Using the MU5 — The Play Mode Now that you ’ ve heard the sophisticated capabilities of the MU5, try playing with some of them yourself in the Play mode. When you turn on the power of the MU5 or press the e button, the Play mode is automatically called up.
25 Using the MU5 — The Play Mode The velocity of the keyboard is fixed; in other words, each note you play sounds at a predetermined volume. You can change this velocity setting from the Velocity parameter in the Utility mode.
26 Selecting a Part and Changing the V oice Now, let ’ s select a different Part and change its Voice. Operation 1 Use the < buttons to select Part 2. (If Part 1 is shown in the display, simply press the . button once.) A total of 16 Parts are available, and each is shown in the display.
27 Using the MU5 — The Play Mode ■ Using the Number Keys to Select a V oice In the Play mode, you can also use the number keys to select a Voice ’ s program number. To do this, simultaneously hold down the s buttons and press the number of the value you wish to set.
28 Using the MU5 with a Computer or Sequencer By connecting the MU5 to a computer or sequencer, you have a powerful music system for playing back songs and even and creating your own songs, using the Voices of the MU5. Make sure that the MU5 is properly connected to the computer or sequencer, and that your music software is ready to run.
29 Muting and Soloing Parts While a song is playing back on your computer or sequencer, you can selec- tively mute or solo any of the 16 Parts of the MU5. Mute lets you silence one Part to hear how all of the other Parts sound without it. Solo lets you isolate a single Part, to hear how that Part sounds by itself.
30 Editing The editing features of the MU5 provide various controls for changing the Parts and setting other important operating functions. Among other things, these let you set the Volume or pitch of.
31 ● Use the number keys on the keyboard. While holding down the s buttons, press the number of the value you wish to set. For example, to set a value of 47, simultaneously hold down the s buttons and press 4 , then 7 , and finally press the E button to actually enter the new value.
32 Reference Utility Mode The Utility mode lets you set functions related to the overall operation of the MU5, such as Master Tune, Transpose and Velocity settings. Included also are utility operations, such as sending bulk data to a data storage device, and initializing of the MU5 settings.
33 Utility Mode T ranspose Range +/- 24 semitones Default 0 This determines the overall key transposition of the MU5 ’ s Voices, over a total range of four octaves in semitone steps. A Transpose setting of “ 0 ” results in normal pitch. Unlike Master Tune, it has no effect on the individual drum/percussion sounds of the drum kits.
34 V elocity Range 1 – 127 Default 88 This determines the note on velocity of the built-in keyboard. All notes that you play from the MU5 ’ s keyboard will be at this fixed velocity, and sound at the same level. This velocity is also transmitted to connected devices via the MIDI or TO HOST terminals.
35 Utility Mode Local Control Settings Off, On (Use the - / = buttons to change this setting.) Default On This determines whether or not the internal tone generator responds to the notes you play on the MU5 ’ s keyboard. Setting this to Off effectively disconnects the MU5 keyboard from the internal tone generator.
36 Dump Out Settings 1 – 16, All Default All This function allows you to save the current parameter settings of the MU5 to a MIDI sequencer, computer or a MIDI data recorder (such as the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer). P ART PGM VOICE NAME # Not available Device number setting (see boxed section on page 37).
37 Utility Mode Operation 1 Make sure that the MU5 is properly connected to the device and that the HOST SELECT switch is properly set. When using the MIDI terminals, connect the MIDI OUT of the MU5 to the MIDI IN of the data recorder. (See the Saving & Restoring Data via MIDI illustration above.
38 Initialize All This operation allows you to restore the original factory settings of the MU5. CAUTION! ■ Using Initialize All will erase whatever settings you ’ ve made on the MU5. If you have important settings you wish to keep, store them to a MIDI data recorder with the Dump Out function.
