THE MU50 — WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT CAN DO

About the Modes of the MU50

The MU50 has two main operating modes: Multi and Performance. In
Multi mode, the MU50 is a 16-Part multi-timbral tone generator; in Per-
formance mode, the MU50 effectively functions as four tone generators
controlled over a single MIDI channel.
Which mode the MU50 is in depends on the selected Sound Module
mode. If XG, TG300B, C/M or DOC are selected, the MU50 automatically
sets itself to the Multi mode. When PERFORM is selected, the MU50 is in
the Performance mode.
The various modes and the software compatibility each provides are de-
scribed below:
XG: Provides compatibility with the XG format.
TG300B: Provides semi-compatibility with the GM Level 1 standard.
C/M: Provides semi-compatibility with computer music software.
DOC: Provides compatibility with DOC music software for the Yamaha
Clavinova.
PERFORMANCE: Allows playing of four separate Parts simultaneously
over a single MIDI channel.
