Welcome to the MU100R

Welcome to the MU100R

Welcome to the MU100R

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MU100R Tone
Generator!

The MU100R is an advanced tone generator providing an amazing total of
1523 high-quality Voices, full General MIDI compatibility — including
Yamaha’s new XG-MIDI (Extended General MIDI) — plus flexible
computer interfacing in a compact, easy-to-use rack mount unit.

Included in the 1523 Voices are 256 extraordinarily realistic and expres-
sive VL Voices — provided by a separate, yet integrated Virtual Acoustic
Synthesis tone generator.

With the convenient built-in host computer interface and MIDI termi-
nals, the MU100R is ideal for any computer music system — from con-
nection to a simple laptop to integration in a complete MIDI studio.  With
its large LCD and the intuitive graphic controls on the display, the
MU100R is remarkably easy to use.

The MU100R also features completely independent dual MIDI inputs,
32 Part multi-timbral capacity and full 64-note polyphony for playback
of even the most sophisticated song data.  A special Performance mode
gives you flexible four-Voice operation, for live performance applications.
Also built into the system are six digital multi-effects and two EQ sec-
tions (one per-part, and one overall), which give you enormous versatility
in “sweetening” the sound.  What’s more, the MU100R provides a host of
comprehensive, yet easy-to-use editing tools for getting just the sound you
need.

The MU100R also has convenient A/D inputs that allow you to connect a
microphone, electric guitar or other instrument, and mix those signals with
the MU100R’s Voices.  A separate Hamony effect section lets you auto-
matically apply two-, three- or four-part harmonies to your A/D input vo-
cals, and have them change as you play different chords on a connected
MIDI keyboard.
