Yamaha MU5 Using the MU5 The Play Mode

Using the MU5 — The Play Mode

Now that you’ve heard the sophisticated capabilities of the MU5, try playing

with some of them yourself in the Play mode.

When you turn on the power of the MU5 or press the e button, the Play

mode is automatically called up. In this mode, you can select any of the 16

Parts for playing, and select which Voice is played in each Part.

Playing the Keyboard

The built-in two-octave keyboard allows you to play the Voices

directly from the MU5 itself, without having to use an external

keyboard. Since what you play on the keyboard is also transmit-

ted via MIDI (or the TO HOST terminals), you can also play an

external tone generator or enter notes to a sequencer.

As you play the keyboard, notice the bars that appear in the

display at the current Part. These serve as a kind of “level

meter,” like those found on a mixing console or tape recorder,

indicating the level (or velocity) of the Voice at the correspond-

ing Part.
