HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
How to Use This Manual
You are probably eager to try out your new MU50 Tone Generator right
away and hear what it can do, rather than have to read through a lot of in-
structions before you can even get a sound out of it.
However, to get the most out of your MU50, we strongly suggest that
you read the following sections in the order given:
1) Precautions
This gives you important information on how to care for your new
MU50, how to avoid damaging, and how to ensure long-term, reliable
operation.
2) The Controls of the MU50
This section introduces you to the panel controls and connectors.
3) The MU50 — What It Is and What It Can Do
This briefly provides an overview of the functions and features of the
MU50 and offers some important hints on how you can use it effectively.
4) Guided Tour
This very important section gets you started using your new MU50. It
helps you set up the instrument, play it, and use some of the more im-
portant functions and features. The hands-on experience you gain in
this section will help you navigate through the other sections of the
manual.
5) Setting Up the MU50 in Your Music System;
Using the MU50 with a Computer
These sections (within the Guided Tour) provide all you need to know
to effectively integrate the MU50 into your present computer music
system.
6) Reference
Once you’re familiar with everything above, lightly go over this com-
prehensive guide to all editing functions. You won’t need (or want) to
read everything at once, but it is there for you to refer to when you need
information about a certain feature or function.
7) Appendix
Finally, use the sections in the Appendix as necessary. For example, the
Index will come in handy when you need to quickly find information
on a specific topic. Other sections, such as the Glossary, Trouble-
shooting and Error Messages provide additional useful information.
