Welcome to the MU15

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MU15 Tone Genera-

tor!

The MU15 an advanced, yet easy-to-use tone generator providing exceptionally

high-quality Voices, built-in effects, XG format and General MIDI (GM) compat-

ibility, plus direct connection to computer — all in a highly compact and

portable package.

With the built-in host computer interface and MIDI terminals, the MU15 is ideal

for any computer music system — from connection to a simple laptop to

integration in a complete MIDI studio. It even features a two-octave keyboard

(with adjustable ten-octave range), allowing you to play the internal Voices and

enter notes to a connected sequencer. Since it’s compatible with Yamaha’s

powerful XG format, it lets you faithfully and easily playback any XG or GM

song data.

The MU15 also features 16-Part multi-timbral capacity and full 32-note poly-

phony for playback of even very sophisticated, multi-part song data. Three

independent digital effect sections give you enormous versatility in “sweeten-

ing” the sound. What’s more, the MU15 provides a host of comprehensive

editing tools for getting just the sound you need.

English

GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is a standard specification that

defines the arrangement of voices in a tone generator

and its MIDI functionality, ensuring that data can be

played back with substantially the same sounds on any

GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of its manu-

facturer or model.

Tone generators and song data that meet the “GM

System Level 1” bear this GM logo.

XG

“XG” is a tone generator format that expands the voice

arrangement of the “GM System Level 1” specification

to meet the ever-increasing demands of today’s com-

puter peripheral environment, providing richer expres-

sive power while maintaining upward compatibility of

data. “XG” greatly expands “GM System Level 1” by

defining the ways in which voices are expanded or

edited and the structure and type of effects.

When commercially available song data bearing the XG

logo is played back on a tone generator which bears the

XG logo, you will enjoy a full musical experience that

includes unlimited expansion voices and effect func-

tions.

Your MU15 package should include the items listed below. Make sure that you

have them all.

The MU15 — What It Is and What It Can Do

The MU15 — What It Is and

What It Can Do

What It Is...

The MU15 is a compact, highly portable and easy-to-use tone

generator. It features XG compatibility with a stunning variety of 480

XG Voices (including 128 GM Voices) and 11 Drum Voices (with

Drum and SFX kits).* The MU15 has 32-Voice polyphony and is 16-

Part multi-timbral. In other words, the MU15 has 16 different Parts,

each with its own Voice, so that up to 16 different Voices can be

sounded simultaneously.

With the built-in two-octave keyboard, you can play any of the Voices

directly from the MU15 itself. Or you can play them from a con-

nected MIDI keyboard. In addition, the MU15 also has a TO HOST

terminal for easy interfacing with a computer, allowing you to play

the Voices using your favorite music software. This is where the

advanced multi-timbral capabilities come in, letting you play up to 16

different Voices at the same time.

* The MU15 has a total of 676 different Voices. A separate

TG300B mode (page 43) features 579 Voices, some of which are

diiferent than the XG set.

What It Can Do...

Here are a few ideas on how you can use the MU15. 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.

Carry It With You

If you have a laptop computer (and sequencing software), simply

connect the MU15, plug in some headphones and you’ve got a

complete music making system that’s ready to go wherever you go.

11

English

The MU15 — What It Is and What It Can Do

Use it for composing, arranging, practicing or making/playing demos

for your band.

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 MU15 in your perfor-

mance.

Multimedia

Since it’s portable and compatible with General MIDI, the MU15 is a

natural for multimedia applications. Bring it with you to a presenta-

tion — since the computer interface is built-in to the MU15, it hooks

up instantly and easily to the computer’s serial port without the need

for any other equipment.

Using With MIDI Keyboard

Use the MU15 as supplementary tone generator with your MIDI

keyboard and play the Voices of both instruments in a layer together.

Or, if your keyboard has the capability, program a “split” so that the

notes you play on the right side of the keyboard play only the Voices

of the MU15.

Using With Other MIDI Controllers

Even if you’re not a keyboard player, you can still play the MU15 with

other types of MIDI controllers. For example, use a MIDI percussion

controller to play the drum and percussion sounds of the MU15.

Guitar controllers (such as the Yamaha G50) or wind controllers (such

as the Yamaha WX5) are also available for players of those instru-

ments.

Home Studio Setup

The MU15 integrates easily into any existing setup. If you have a

MIDI keyboard, computer and sequencing software, the MU15 with

its high-quality Voices and multi-timbral capabilities can expand your

home studio system.

About General MIDI (GM)

General MIDI (GM) is a new addition to the worldwide MIDI stan-

dard. MIDI, as you know, stands for Musical Instrument Digital

Interface, and makes it possible for various electronic musical

instruments and other devices to “communicate” with each other.

For example, by connecting a sequencer to the MU15’s MIDI IN

terminal, you could play back a song on the sequencer using the

Voices of the MU15.

So, where does GM fit in all of this? One of the most important

features of General MIDI is in the standardization of Voices. This

means that a song recorded in the GM standard can be played back

on any GM-compatible tone generator and sound just as the com-

poser intended. For example, if there is an alto sax solo in the song,

it will be played by an alto sax Voice on the General MIDI tone

generator (and not by a tuba or harpsichord!). Since the MU15 is

fully GM-compatible, you can take advantage of the vast wealth of

musical material recorded in that format.

About XG

The Yamaha XG format is an extension of General MIDI, and pro-

vides a number of significant improvements and enhancements. XG-

compatible song data takes advantage of the expanded Voice set,

extensive MIDI control and built-in effects of the MU15 (as well as

other MU-series instruments).

To get the most out of XG and your MU15, we recommend using

XG-compatible instruments and software. For example, the Yamaha

CBX-K2 keyboard lets you dynamically control a variety of param-

eters in real time while you play. The XGworks sequencer software

not only lets you playback GM- or XG-compatible song data, it lets

you record your own songs — and gives you enormously powerful

and easy-to-use editing tools for adjusting detailed settings of the

MU15 that are unavailable with the panel controls.

Guided Tour

When using your MU15 for the first time, read

through this short section of the manual. It guides you

step-by-step in using many of the basic operations: setting

the instrument up, connecting it properly to other equip-

ment, and — most importantly — playing it. It also intro-

duces you to most of the other, advanced features and

operations of the instrument — enabling you to quickly

and effectively get the most out of your new MU15.

Setting Up Your MU15

Since the MU15 has a built-in keyboard, you could use it with nothing more

than a set of batteries and a proper set of stereo headphones. It can also be

used effectively with a computer in a “desktop music” system.

In this section, however, you’ll learn how to connect the MU15 in a basic

system with a MIDI keyboard and an external amplifier/speaker system. (For

basic information on MIDI and its applications, see page 91.)

What You’ll Need

• The MU15 and a proper power supply (either an AC adaptor or

batteries).

• A MIDI keyboard, electronic piano, or any instrument that can

output MIDI data.

• An amplifier speaker system, preferably stereo. Alternately, you

can use a set of stereo headphones.

• Audio connecting cables.

• A MIDI cable.

18

Using a Power Adaptor

Connect one end of the power adaptor (Yamaha PA-3B) to the DC IN

jack on the rear panel, and the other end to a suitable electrical

outlet.

WARNING

• Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the PA-3B. The use of

an incompatible adaptor may result in irreparable damage to the MU15,

and even pose a serious shock hazard.

CAUTION

• When connecting the AC power adaptor, first make sure that the MU15

is turned off (set to STANDBY). Next, connect one end of the power

adaptor to the DC IN jack on the MU15, and connect the other end to

an appropriate AC outlet.

• The MU15 has a convenient data backup feature that maintains any

changes you’ve made to the settings, even when the power is turned

off. However, removing the batteries or disconnecting the AC adaptor

automatically clears the data and restores the factory defaults. To save

your important data, use the Dump Out function (page 65).

Power Supply

Although the MU15 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries,

Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. Moreover, an

AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not

deplete resources.

CAUTION

• Before making any connections, make sure that all equipment to be connected is

turned off.

Setting Up Your MU15

19

English

Using Batteries

To use the MU15 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).

Securely replace the battery compartment cover when done install-

ing the batteries.

When to Replace the Batteries

When the battery power runs too low to operate the MU15, the

sound may become distorted and the following display will appear:

When this happens, replace all batteries with a complete set of six

new batteries of the same type.

CAUTION

• NEVER mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries! Also,

to prevent possible damage due to battery leakage, remove the

batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for an extended

period of time.

Making the Connections

CAUTION

• Before making any connections, turn all related equipment off, and make sure the

MU15’s power adaptor is not connected to an electrical outlet.

Operation

Z Connect the MIDI cable.

Connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the MIDI keyboard to the MIDI IN

terminal of the MU15 (as shown in the illustration).

X Connect the audio cables.

If you are using an external sound system, connect the LINE OUT/

PHONES jack on the side of the MU15 to the appropriate inputs of

the sound system (as shown). Use a stereo mini-plug to dual RCA

pin “Y” cable (available at many audio and musical instrument
