Guided Tour
Operation
1
Set the HOST SELECT switch to Mac.
2
Connect the MU100 to the host computer.
Refer to the illustration above. Use a standard Macintosh cable
(8-pin Mini DIN on both ends; see page 92).
3
Turn on the the host computer, then the MU100.
4
Start up your music software.
If necessary, set up the appropriate options on the software for
operation with the MU100. The relevant settings may be found
in menu(s) called “Studio Setup,” “System Setup,” or “MIDI
Setup.”
In this menu, you should be able to set separate MIDI outputs to access the
two MIDI ports on the MU100. For example, the device for MIDI OUT 1
should be set to “Yamaha MU100” (or “MU80,” if “MU100” is not avail-
able).
Other options you may have to set include:
MIDI Interface Type
g
Standard MIDI Interface
MIDI Time Piece
g
On (for controlling all 32 Parts of the MU100)
Clock
g
1 MHz
(The specific menu/parameter names may differ depending on your particu-
lar music software. For detailed instructions, refer to the owner’s manual or
on-line help of the software.)
Hint
If you have a second multi-timbral tone generator (such as the MU50), you can
connect it to the MIDI OUT terminal of the MU100 and have
three independent
MIDI ports (for 48-channel operation). The software settings above apply here as
well: Set the device for MIDI OUT 3 to “Yamaha MU50” (or similar). (For more
information, see page 146.)
