User manual YAMAHA MU80

[. . . ] WELCOME TO THE MU80 Welcome to the MU80 Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MU80 Tone Generator!The MU80 is an advanced tone generator providing 729 high-quality Voices, full General MIDI compatibility -- including Yamaha's new XGMIDI (Extended General MIDI) -- plus flexible computer interfacing in a highly compact and portable package. With the convenient built-in host computer interface and MIDI terminals, the MU80 is ideal for any computer music system -- from connection to a simple laptop to integration in a complete MIDI studio. With its large LCD and the intuitive graphic controls on the display, the MU80 is remarkably easy to use. [. . . ] (See page 58. ) Velocity Limit Low (VelLimitLo) Same as the corresponding parameter in the Multi Edit mode. (See page 59. ) Velocity Limit High (VelLimitHi) Same as the corresponding parameter in the Multi Edit mode. (See page 59. ) Dry Level Same as the corresponding parameter in the Multi Edit mode. (See page 60. ) This parameter is only available when the Variation Connection parameter is set to SYS. (See page 91. ) Modulation Wheel -- LFO Pitch Modulation Depth (MWLFO PMod) Same as the corresponding parameter in the Multi Edit mode. (See page 60. ) Modulation Wheel -- LFO Filter Modulation Depth (MWLFO FMod) Graphically shows LFO Filter Modulation Depth setting for each Part. Range: ­0 . . . 127 This determines how widely the filter is modulated by the LFO (low frequency oscillator). This is generally controlled from a modulation wheel on a MIDI keyboard and, depending on the character of the sound, produces a "swoosh" filter sweep effect. The higher the value, the deeper the filter modulation, and hence, the more pronounced the filter sweep effect. Pitch Bend Control (PitBndCtrl) Same as the corresponding parameter in the Multi Edit mode. (See page 60. ) 81 PERFORMANCE MODE Assignable Control 1 Filter Control (AC1FilCtrl) Graphically shows AC1 Filter Control setting for each Part. Range: ­64 . . . +63 This determines the degree to which Assignable Controller 1 affects the Filter. A setting of 0 results in no control over the Filter. Negative settings affect the Filter negatively; in other words, when the controller is at the minimum position, control over the filter is greatest. In the illustration below, a foot controller is used as Assignable Controller 1. For positive values: For negative values: Minimum effect Maximum effect Maximum effect Minimum effect Assignable Control 1 Amplitude Control (AC1AmpCtrl) Graphically shows AC1 Amplitude Control setting for each Part. Range: ­64 . . . +63 This determines the degree to which Assignable Controller 1 affects the Amplitude (level or volume). A setting of 0 results in no control over the Amplitude. Negative settings affect the Amplitude negatively; in other words, when the controller is at the minimum position, control over the Amplitude is greatest. 82 PERFORMANCE MODE Copy and Store Operations The Copy and Store operations allow you to save and organize the Performances you've created. Copy The Copy operation allows you to copy the settings of one Performance program (Preset or Internal) to another Performance number (Internal only). Operation 1 From the Performance Edit menu, use the SELECT w buttons to select "COPY. " Then, press the ENTER button to call up the Copy operation. 2 Use the SELECT w buttons to select the desired parameter: memory location, source number or destination number. (The selected parameter flashes. ) Then use the VALUE q buttons to change the value. 83 PERFORMANCE MODE Memory location (P = Preset, I = Internal) Source Performance number Use these to select desired parameter. Destination Performance number Use these to change value. 3 Press the ENTER button to actually execute the Copy operation. An "Executing. . . " message flashes in the display during the operation. When the data has been copied, the MU80 returns to the Performance Edit menu. To cancel the operation without copying, press the EXIT button (before pressing ENTER). Soe tr Once you've edited or created a Performance, you can save that new Performance for future recall by using the Store operation. Performances can be saved to any one of the 128 Internal memory locations.
