■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.

●Using With MIDI Keyboard

Use the MU5 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 MU5.

●Using With Other MIDI Controllers

Even if you’re not a keyboard player, you can still play the MU5

with other types of MIDI controllers. For example, you can use a

MIDI percussion controller to play the drum and percussion

sounds of the MU5.

■When Connected to a Computer or

Sequencer

●Home Studio Setup

The MU5 integrates easily into any existing setup. If you have a

MIDI keyboard, computer and sequencing software, the MU5

with its high-quality Voices and multi-timbral capabilities can

expand your home studio system.

●Carry It With You

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

connect the MU5, plug in some headphones and you’ve got a

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

go. Use it for composing, arranging, practicing or making/

playing demos for your band.
