MULTI MODE Multi Mode
In the Multi mode, the MU80 performs as a multi-timbral tone generator capa-
ble of playing up to 32 Parts simultaneously, over 32 MIDI channels. Normally,
the MU80 should be set to Multi mode when using it with a sequencer and
General MIDI song data. There are three Multi modes: XG, TG300B and C/M.
Each mode provides compatibility with different music software and hardware.
XG: This stands for Extended General MIDI and provides the full poten-
tial of the MU80, giving you access to all 537 Voices.
TG300B: This mode provides compatibility with the GM-B mode of the TG300
Tone Generator.
C/M: This mode provides compatibility with most computer music soft-
ware not supported by the other two Multi modes.
NOTE
When set to the TG300B mode, the MU80 may not be able to play TG300-specific song data with complete
accuracy. However, MIDI data designed for other computer music tone generators is compatible with the MU80.
