Yamaha MU5 Connecting to Other MIDI Devices

NEC PC-9800 Series

The NEC PC-9800 Series computers are widely used in Japan.

For use with these computers, set the HOST SELECT switch on

the MU5 to PC-1. Operation is the same as for

the PC-2 setting explained above. The only

difference between PC-1 and PC-2 is the

communication baud rate. (See page 46.)

■ Connecting to Other MIDI Devices

The MU5 is equipped with MIDI IN and OUT terminals, allowing you to use it

in any MIDI system. Example uses for the built-in MIDI interface include:

•Connecting to a MIDI keyboard (for playing the sounds of the MU5

from that keyboard).

•Connecting to a MIDI tone generator (for playing the sounds of that

tone generator from the MU5).

•Connecting to a computer equipped with a MIDI interface (either

internal or external).

•Connecting to a hardware sequencer (such as the Yamaha QY20).

•Connecting to a MIDI data storage device (such as the Yamaha MDF2

MIDI Data Filer).
