The MU10 — What It Is and What It Can Do
What It Can Do
Here are a few application ideas on how you can use the MU10. 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 explorations.
■
Using in a MIDI Music System
Connect the MU10 to a computer with MIDI sequencing software, and
you’ve got comprehensive music making power—for recording, composing,
arranging, practicing, and editing. Combine it with a laptop computer, and
you’ve got a complete and portable music production system that’s ready to
go wherever you go. The built-in A/D Inputs let you connect an external
audio source (such as a microphone or guitar), allowing you to play along
with the MIDI tracks.
The MU10 is an ideal addition to larger MIDI studios as well, since it gives
you a high-quality 16-Part multi-timbral tone generator.
■
Multimedia
Since it’s portable and compatible with the XG and General MIDI formats,
the MU10 is a natural for multimedia applications. Because of its portability
and great sound, it’s the only tone generator you’ll need for recording,
editing and playing back MIDI data on your multimedia creations.

Using With a MIDI Keyboard in Live Performance
Simply connect the MU10 to a MIDI keyboard and play the dynamic Voices
in live performance situations. With the built-in A/D Inputs, you can even
use the MU10 as a simple 2-channel mixer. Bring a computer or MIDI data
player to your gig, and you can even mix another instrument (such as guitar
or bass) with the MIDI-driven Voices of the MU10.
