Welcome to the MU15

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MU15 Tone Genera-

tor!

The MU15 an advanced, yet easy-to-use tone generator providing exceptionally

high-quality Voices, built-in effects, XG format and General MIDI (GM) compat-

ibility, plus direct connection to computer — all in a highly compact and

portable package.

With the built-in host computer interface and MIDI terminals, the MU15 is ideal

for any computer music system — from connection to a simple laptop to

integration in a complete MIDI studio. It even features a two-octave keyboard

(with adjustable ten-octave range), allowing you to play the internal Voices and

enter notes to a connected sequencer. Since it’s compatible with Yamaha’s

powerful XG format, it lets you faithfully and easily playback any XG or GM

song data.

The MU15 also features 16-Part multi-timbral capacity and full 32-note poly-

phony for playback of even very sophisticated, multi-part song data. Three

independent digital effect sections give you enormous versatility in “sweeten-

ing” the sound. What’s more, the MU15 provides a host of comprehensive

editing tools for getting just the sound you need.

English

GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is a standard specification that

defines the arrangement of voices in a tone generator

and its MIDI functionality, ensuring that data can be

played back with substantially the same sounds on any

GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of its manu-

facturer or model.

Tone generators and song data that meet the “GM

System Level 1” bear this GM logo.

“XG” is a tone generator format that expands the voice

arrangement of the “GM System Level 1” specification

to meet the ever-increasing demands of today’s com-

puter peripheral environment, providing richer expres-

sive power while maintaining upward compatibility of

data. “XG” greatly expands “GM System Level 1” by

defining the ways in which voices are expanded or

edited and the structure and type of effects.

When commercially available song data bearing the XG

logo is played back on a tone generator which bears the

XG logo, you will enjoy a full musical experience that

includes unlimited expansion voices and effect func-

tions.

Your MU15 package should include the items listed below. Make sure that you

have them all.

How to Use This Manual

You are probably eager to try out your new MU15 Tone Generator right away

and hear what it can do, rather than have to read through a lot of instructions

before you can even get a sound out of it. Since the MU15 is so easy to use,

you could play it right “out of the box” without even having to glance at the

manual. However, to get the most out of your MU15 and to avoid damaging it,

we strongly suggest that you take time to read the sections introduced below.

The structure of the manual is very straightforward. You can approach it in a

linear manner, reading through from beginning to end, or on an “on-demand”

How to Use This Manual

The MU15 — What It Is and What It Can Do

The MU15 — What It Is and

What It Can Do

What It Is...

The MU15 is a compact, highly portable and easy-to-use tone

generator. It features XG compatibility with a stunning variety of 480

XG Voices (including 128 GM Voices) and 11 Drum Voices (with

Drum and SFX kits).* The MU15 has 32-Voice polyphony and is 16-

Part multi-timbral. In other words, the MU15 has 16 different Parts,

each with its own Voice, so that up to 16 different Voices can be

sounded simultaneously.

With the built-in two-octave keyboard, you can play any of the Voices

directly from the MU15 itself. Or you can play them from a con-

nected MIDI keyboard. In addition, the MU15 also has a TO HOST

terminal for easy interfacing with a computer, allowing you to play

the Voices using your favorite music software. This is where the

advanced multi-timbral capabilities come in, letting you play up to 16

different Voices at the same time.

* The MU15 has a total of 676 different Voices. A separate

TG300B mode (page 43) features 579 Voices, some of which are

diiferent than the XG set.

What It Can Do...

Here are a few ideas on how you can use the MU15. The list below

is not comprehensive, but is meant to be a general guide to the

possibilities and provide a starting point or springboard for your own

creative ideas and explorations.

Carry It With You

If you have a laptop computer (and sequencing software), simply

connect the MU15, plug in some headphones and you’ve got a

complete music making system that’s ready to go wherever you go.

English

The MU15 — What It Is and What It Can Do

Use it for composing, arranging, practicing or making/playing demos

for your band.

Perform With It

Bring it with you to a gig — as long as there’s a MIDI keyboard on

stage, you can use the high-quality sounds of MU15 in your perfor-

mance.

Multimedia

Since it’s portable and compatible with General MIDI, the MU15 is a

natural for multimedia applications. Bring it with you to a presenta-

tion — since the computer interface is built-in to the MU15, it hooks

up instantly and easily to the computer’s serial port without the need

for any other equipment.

Using With MIDI Keyboard

Use the MU15 as supplementary tone generator with your MIDI

keyboard and play the Voices of both instruments in a layer together.

Or, if your keyboard has the capability, program a “split” so that the

notes you play on the right side of the keyboard play only the Voices

of the MU15.

Using With Other MIDI Controllers

Even if you’re not a keyboard player, you can still play the MU15 with

other types of MIDI controllers. For example, use a MIDI percussion

controller to play the drum and percussion sounds of the MU15.

Guitar controllers (such as the Yamaha G50) or wind controllers (such

as the Yamaha WX5) are also available for players of those instru-

ments.

Home Studio Setup

The MU15 integrates easily into any existing setup. If you have a

MIDI keyboard, computer and sequencing software, the MU15 with

its high-quality Voices and multi-timbral capabilities can expand your

home studio system.

About General MIDI (GM)

General MIDI (GM) is a new addition to the worldwide MIDI stan-

dard. MIDI, as you know, stands for Musical Instrument Digital

Interface, and makes it possible for various electronic musical

instruments and other devices to “communicate” with each other.

For example, by connecting a sequencer to the MU15’s MIDI IN

terminal, you could play back a song on the sequencer using the

Voices of the MU15.

So, where does GM fit in all of this? One of the most important

features of General MIDI is in the standardization of Voices. This

means that a song recorded in the GM standard can be played back

on any GM-compatible tone generator and sound just as the com-

poser intended. For example, if there is an alto sax solo in the song,

it will be played by an alto sax Voice on the General MIDI tone

generator (and not by a tuba or harpsichord!). Since the MU15 is

fully GM-compatible, you can take advantage of the vast wealth of

musical material recorded in that format.

About XG

The Yamaha XG format is an extension of General MIDI, and pro-

vides a number of significant improvements and enhancements. XG-

compatible song data takes advantage of the expanded Voice set,

extensive MIDI control and built-in effects of the MU15 (as well as

other MU-series instruments).

To get the most out of XG and your MU15, we recommend using

XG-compatible instruments and software. For example, the Yamaha

CBX-K2 keyboard lets you dynamically control a variety of param-

eters in real time while you play. The XGworks sequencer software

not only lets you playback GM- or XG-compatible song data, it lets

you record your own songs — and gives you enormously powerful

and easy-to-use editing tools for adjusting detailed settings of the

MU15 that are unavailable with the panel controls.

Guided Tour

When using your MU15 for the first time, read

through this short section of the manual. It guides you

step-by-step in using many of the basic operations: setting

the instrument up, connecting it properly to other equip-

ment, and — most importantly — playing it. It also intro-

duces you to most of the other, advanced features and

operations of the instrument — enabling you to quickly

and effectively get the most out of your new MU15.

Setting Up Your MU15

Since the MU15 has a built-in keyboard, you could use it with nothing more

than a set of batteries and a proper set of stereo headphones. It can also be

used effectively with a computer in a “desktop music” system.

In this section, however, you’ll learn how to connect the MU15 in a basic

system with a MIDI keyboard and an external amplifier/speaker system. (For

basic information on MIDI and its applications, see page 91.)

What You’ll Need

• The MU15 and a proper power supply (either an AC adaptor or

batteries).

• A MIDI keyboard, electronic piano, or any instrument that can

output MIDI data.

• An amplifier speaker system, preferably stereo. Alternately, you

can use a set of stereo headphones.

• Audio connecting cables.

• A MIDI cable.

Using a Power Adaptor

Connect one end of the power adaptor (Yamaha PA-3B) to the DC IN

jack on the rear panel, and the other end to a suitable electrical

outlet.

WARNING

• Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the PA-3B. The use of

an incompatible adaptor may result in irreparable damage to the MU15,

and even pose a serious shock hazard.

CAUTION

• When connecting the AC power adaptor, first make sure that the MU15

is turned off (set to STANDBY). Next, connect one end of the power

adaptor to the DC IN jack on the MU15, and connect the other end to

an appropriate AC outlet.

• The MU15 has a convenient data backup feature that maintains any

changes you’ve made to the settings, even when the power is turned

off. However, removing the batteries or disconnecting the AC adaptor

automatically clears the data and restores the factory defaults. To save

your important data, use the Dump Out function (page 65).

Power Supply

Although the MU15 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries,

Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. Moreover, an

AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not

deplete resources.

CAUTION

• Before making any connections, make sure that all equipment to be connected is

turned off.

Setting Up Your MU15

English

Using Batteries

To use the MU15 on battery power, insert six 1.5V AA size (SUM-3,

R-6 or equivalent) manganese or alkaline batteries in the battery

compartment. Make sure to follow the polarity indications on the

bottom case (and as shown below).

Securely replace the battery compartment cover when done install-

ing the batteries.

When to Replace the Batteries

When the battery power runs too low to operate the MU15, the

sound may become distorted and the following display will appear:

When this happens, replace all batteries with a complete set of six

new batteries of the same type.

CAUTION

• NEVER mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries! Also,

to prevent possible damage due to battery leakage, remove the

batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for an extended

period of time.

Selecting Voices

The MU15 has a total of 676 different instrument Voices. Here, we’ll select a

different Voice for playing.

Each Voice is numbered, and there are 128 Voices from which you can immedi-

ately select. (We’ll see how to select Voices outside of these 128 later.)

About Parts, Voices, and Banks

Before we go on to the next section, a little explanation about the organization

of the MU15 is needed. Here, you’ll learn about Parts, Voices, and Banks —

three important concepts around which the sounds of the MU15 are organized.

Operation

Use the VALUE buttons.

Pressing the VALUE /YES button steps up through Voice numbers

while pressing the VALUE /NO button steps down through the

numbers.

Hold either button down to move rapidly through the numbers in the

selected direction. To move even more quickly through the num-

bers, simultaneously hold down one button, and then press (or hold

down) the other. For example, to rapidly decrease the value, simulta-

neously hold down the /NO button and press the /YES button.

Voices

As mentioned in the section “The MU15 — What It Is and What It

Can Do,” the MU15 is capable of playing sixteen different instru-

ment sounds at the same time. Each instrument sound is called a

“Voice,” and the MU15 has 676 different Normal Voices, as well as

21 Drum Voices.

Let’s say, for example, you have a song in which you want to use the

following sixteen Voices:

Parts

For these Voices to be used simultaneously, they must be assigned

to different “Parts.” These correspond exactly to the parts of a song

or the elements of a band, such as bass, guitar, and drums.

Obviously, each Part can have its own Voice setting, but it can also

have independent settings for other aspects of the sound as well, as

we’ll see later.

NOTE

• Part 10 is normally reserved for Drum Voices, although this can be

changed. (Page 28.)

Banks

As you learned in “Selecting Voices” above, each Voice is numbered,

and there are 128 of them from which you can select. These 128

Voices make up a Voice “Bank.” The MU15 has many Banks, each

of which contain 128 Voices. By selecting a different Bank, you can

select different Voices — any of the 676 Voices available on the

MU15.

Now, let’s go on to the next sections and see how to select different

Parts, and how to select Voices on the other Banks.

Selecting Parts

In “Selecting Voices” above, you learned how to select a Voice. Here, you’ll

see how to select a different Part and select a different Voice for that Part.

Operation

ZSelect the desired Part by using the PART buttons.

Pressing the PART button steps up through the Part numbers

while pressing the PART button steps down through the num-

bers.

Hold either button down to move rapidly through the numbers in the

selected direction.

XSelect a Voice for the current Part.

Do this in the normal way, by using the VALUE buttons.

Playing the MU15

Selecting Banks

As you learned in “About Parts, Voices, and Banks” above, the MU15’s 676

Voices are organized into Banks of 128 Voices each. Here, we’ll see how to

select Voices of different Banks.

Operation

ZSelect the desired Part.

Do this in the normal way, by using the PART buttons.

XSelect the desired Voice.

Do this in the normal way, by using the VALUE buttons.

In general, the Voice Banks feature variations on the basic Voices —

for example, the “PercOrgn” Voice has several similar sounding

organ Voices at the same Voice number, but in different Banks.

That’s why it’s a good idea to decide which type of Voice you want,

and then call up different Banks to select a specific Voice variation.

CSimultaneously hold down the XG BANK button and

press one of the VALUE buttons.

Holding down the XG BANK button and pressing the VALUE /YES

button steps up through Bank numbers while doing the same with

the VALUE /NO button steps down through the numbers.

Notice that the Bank numbers jump to seemingly random values.

For example, if you’ve selected Voice number 005 “E.Piano1,”

holding down the XG BANK button and pressing the VALUE /YES

button will step through the following Banks:

GrndPnoK

Bank number. (This changes to the

Voice number as soon as the XG

BANK button is released.)

…and so on.

In this way, the MU15 skips over Banks that have the same Voices

as the basic Bank (Bank 000), and lets you automatically jump to

Banks that have unique Voices for the selected Voice number. In the

above example, Banks 002 - 017 all have the same Voice for number

005: “E.Piano1.” Bank 018 has a unique Voice, followed by another

unique Voice at Bank 032, and so on.

NOTE

• When the SFX kit (XG Bank #126) or Drum kit (XG Bank #127) is

selected , the Voice number is automatically set to 001.

Playing Drum Voices

The MU15 also features a wide selection of dynamic, realistic drum and

percussion sounds. These sounds are grouped together in Drum Voices and

each note on the keyboard plays a different drum or percussion sound.

NOTE

• For details on which drum sounds are assigned to which notes of the keyboard,

refer to the Drum Map charts on pages 80 - 83.

Operation

ZSelect Part 10.

Do this in the normal way, by using the PART buttons.

NOTE

• Part 10 is assigned to a Drum Voice by default. However, any Part can

be set to a Drum Voice by selecting Bank 126 or 127 for the Part.

CPlay the drum sounds.

Play the sounds from the MU15’s keyboard or from a connected

MIDI keyboard.

Since the various drum/percussion sounds are spread out over

several octaves, in order to play them from the MU15, you’ll need to

change the octave setting (see next section).

Changing the Octave Setting

Although the MU15’s built-in keyboard has a two-octave range, you can

actually play it over a range of ten octaves.

Operation

Use the OCT DOWN / OCT UP buttons.

Pressing the OCT DOWN button lowers the pitch by one octave, and

pressing the OCT UP button raises it by one octave. The current

octave setting is shown in the display. (No indication appears when

the octave setting is normal.)

NOTE

• For Normal Voices (such as Piano or Strings), this changes the pitch.

For Drum Voices, this changes the drum/percussion sounds playable

from the keyboard.

You can instantly restore the normal octave setting by pressing both

OCT DOWN / OCT UP buttons simultaneously.

Editing a Part

The editing features of the MU15 provide various controls for changing the

Parts and setting other important operating functions. Among other things,

these let you set the Volume or Pan setting of each Part independently, change

the Velocity of the built-in keyboard, and save your edits to a connected

computer, sequencer or data storage device.

NOTE

• The Velocity and Local Control settings cannot be saved.

Editing on the MU15 is basically divided into three types of controls: Part,

Effect, and Utility. In this section, you’ll learn how to change the Note Shift

setting and the Volume setting (both Part controls). However, the instructions

given here are fundamentally the same for all editing operations. (See the

Reference section of this manual for information about the specific editing

functions.)

Changing the Note Shift and Volume Settings

The Note Shift parameter lets you change the key (pitch) of the

selected Part. This only affects the Normal Voices, and does not

change the pitch of the Drum Voices.

The Volume parameter allows you to change the level of each Part’s

Voice, letting you set a custom balance or mix of all the Parts.

Operation

ZSelect the desired parameter.

For Note Shift, simultaneously hold down the PLAY/EDIT button and

press the NOTE SHFT button. Doing this enters the Edit mode and

calls up the Note Shift parameter.

the change in the sound of the Part.

You can continue to change the selected setting with the VALUE

buttons and play the keyboard to hear the results of the changes. If

you wish, you can also easily change the setting for different Parts

by using the PART buttons to select the desired Part. To switch

between the desired parameters, repeat step #1 above.

CTo return to the Play mode, press the PLAY/EDIT button

again.

Soloing and Muting Parts

The MU15 has convenient Solo and Mute functions for selectively soloing or

muting any of the sixteen Parts. These functions are especially useful when

playing back song data from a connected computer or sequencer, since they

let you isolate specific Parts in the mix and hear how they sound by them-

selves or how the rest of the song sounds without them.

For instructions on using Solo and Mute, see pages 48 and 49.

Using the Effects

The compact MU15 is packed with an enormous amount of sonic power and

flexibility. In addition to the huge amount of instrument Voices, the MU15

features a built-in multi-effect processor with three independent digital effects:

Reverb, Chorus, and Variation.

In this section, you’ll learn how to apply the effects, change the effect type,

and set how much effect is applied for each Part. (See the Reference section

of this manual for information about specific effect parameters.)

Using Reverb and Chorus

Judicious use of Reverb creates a sense of space and enhances the

realism of the Voices. The Reverb Type that you select is applied to

all Parts; however, the amount of Reverb for each Part can be

adjusted. This lets you add special textures to the mix of a song,

such as “drenching” one Part in Reverb while another Part is kept

“dry.”

The Chorus effect section features a variety of pitch modulation

effects. These let you subtly enhance or “fatten” the sound, or

completely transform the sound in wild and unique ways. As with

Reverb, only one Chorus Type can be used for all Parts; however, the

amount of Chorus for each Part can be adjusted.

Since the methods of using Reverb and Chorus are identical, both

are covered here together.

Operation

ZSelect the desired Part.

Do this in the normal way, by using the PART buttons.

XSet the Send Level controls to appropriate values.

Before you actually change the Reverb or Chorus settings, you

should set the Send Level controls, in order to properly hear the

effect and the changes you make.

Using the MU15

with a Computer/Sequencer

By connecting the MU15 to a computer or sequencer, you have a powerful

music system for playing back songs and even creating your own songs, using

the Voices of the MU15.

First, you’ll have to make sure that the MU15 is properly connected to the

computer or sequencer, and that your music software is ready to run. (Refer to

page 37 for connection examples and instructions.) If you are using the TO

HOST terminal or if both MIDI terminals are properly connected, you should be

able to play songs from your software and enter notes to the software from

the MU15.

Using the MU15 with a MIDI Data Storage Device

You can also use the MU15 with a MIDI data storage device, such as

the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI Data Filer. This lets you save or back up

changes you’ve made in the settings of the Edit mode. Then, when

you want to recall those settings, you can transfer the appropriate

data from the storage device.

The MDF3 also allows you to play compatible song data on the

MU15 directly from the MDF3 itself, without the need of a se-

quencer.

Make sure that the MU15 is properly connected to the data storage

device (via MIDI). (Refer to page 66 for the connection example.)

Use the Dump Out function (page 65) to send data to the device.

Also refer to the owner’s manual of your data storage device for

specific operating instructions in receiving or sending data.

Setting Up

The MU15 features a built-in host computer interface, allowing you to directly

connect it to your computer — eliminating the need for installing a special

MIDI interface to your computer. This also makes it easier to use the MU15

ers: Apple Macintosh and compatibles, or IBM PC/AT and compatibles.

If your computer already has a MIDI interface, you can connect the MU15 to it

by using MIDI cables instead.

Depending on the computer or interface used, you should set the HOST

SELECT switch to the appropriate setting: MIDI, PC-1, PC-2, or Mac. For

information on proper cables, see the section “MIDI/Computer Connecting

Cables” on page 41.

happens, turn on your computer again. If this still doesn’t resolve the

problem, turn all equipment off and then back on again.

• For Macintosh computers: You should set the MIDI interface clock

setting on the music software to 1 MHz.

• If you are using the MU15 to enter notes to the computer and wish to

hear what you are playing, you should set the music software to

“echo” the MIDI IN data to the MIDI OUT (on the computer). This is

usually done with a “MIDI Thru” or “MIDI Echo” option on the music

software.

Playing Song Data

Once you set up your computer or sequencer with the MU15, you’re ready to

play back song data using the Voices of the MU15. Although any GM-compat-

ible song data can be played, the MU15 will sound best when used with XG-

compatible song data.

By using Yamaha’s XGworks Music Sequencer software, you can create your

own XG song data. Since XGworks also features a special XG Editor, you can

conveniently and easily edit any of the “hidden” parameters of the MU15.

This gives you comprehensive control over the Voices and effects. (For more

information on the “hidden” parameters, see the “MIDI Data Format” section,

page 91.)

When you do any editing to the MU15 for your own songs, you should save

your settings (as System Exclusive data) to the computer with the Dump Out

function (page 65). It’s especially useful to record this data at the beginning of

a song, so that the MU15 will be set properly for the particular song. Make

sure to enter several measures of silence before the song starts to accommo-

date the System Exclusive data.

Play Mode

The Play mode is the default mode of the MU15 and is automatically set when

the power is turned on. The Play mode allows you to play the Voices, either

from the MU15’s keyboard or from a MIDI device. Depending on data received

via MIDI, the MU15 operates in one of two Sound Module modes: XG or

TG300B. (XG is the default.)

The Play mode also lets you select Voices, Banks, and Parts, and change the

octave setting of the keyboard. If the Edit mode is selected, you can return to

the Play mode by pressing the PLAY/EDIT button.

For general instructions and details on various Play mode operations, refer to

the Guided Tour section.

Sound Module Mode

The MU15 plays Voices in one of two Sound Module modes: XG or TG300B.

The Sound Module mode is one of the “hidden” parameters of the MU15 and

can be changed only by incoming MIDI data. Normally this data is recorded at

the start of commercially available sequenced songs. If the song data is XG-

compatible, the XG mode will be selected, letting you take advantage of the

MU15’s full performance power. If the song data is GM-compatible but

intended for another manufacturer’s tone generator, the TG300B mode will be

selected, enabling optimum playback of the song data.

You can change this setting yourself by the use of MIDI System Exclusive

messages (page 91), either as part of sequenced song data, or received from a

device that allows you to send user-specified System Exclusive data.

NOTE

• The last selected Sound Module mode is automatically enabled when the power is

turned on. However, if both the batteries and AC adaptor are removed (or if the

PLAY/EDIT button is pressed), the XG mode is automatically enabled.

When the TG300B mode is selected, the following display appears:

Play Mode

TG300B

The XG mode features 480 Normal Voices (including 42 SFX Voices) and 11

Drum Voices (including 2 SFX drum kits). The TG300B mode features 579

Normal Voices and 10 Drum Voices.

NOTE

• In the TG300B mode, the Voices can only be selected by MIDI; they cannot be

selected from the panel of the MU15.

Edit Mode

The Edit mode allows you to change various settings and parameters of the

MU15. These controls are divided into three basic types: Part (page 45), Effect

(page 56), and Utility (page 63).

The basic method of editing is fundamentally the same for all of the param-

eters. Many of the parameters can be set independently for each Part, and as

such allow you to select the Part to be edited.

NOTE

• Keep in mind that the settings you make may automatically change when playing

back song data on a connected sequencer. If you want to save your original

settings, use the Dump Out function (page 65) before playing the song.

Generator) and Vibrato. All of these parameters can be set indepen-

dently for each Part, giving you enormous and flexible control over

the sound. Also included in the Part controls are the convenient Solo

and Mute functions. The Effect Send Level parameters (pages 57,

59, 61) can also be adjusted for each Part.

Range: 0 - 127

Default: 100

This determines the Volume of the selected Part. The Volume

setting is graphically represented by bars in the display.

NOTE

• Keep in mind that when playing the MU15’s keyboard, the actual sound

level of a selected Part also depends on the Velocity parameter in the

Utility controls (page 64). If the Velocity setting is at or near the

minimum, the Part may be very low in level, no matter what the

Volume setting made here.

Pan

Range: Rnd, L 63 - C 00 - R 63

Default: C 00

This determines the stereo position of the selected Part. The Pan

position is graphically represented by bars in the display. The “Rnd”

(Random) setting randomly assigns the Voice to a pan position. This

is useful when you want to have different Voices sound from

different random positions of the stereo image.

A double bar in the middle represents the center position (C 00),

while right pan positions are indicated by bars stretching up from the

middle, and left pan positions are indicated by bars stretching down.

Note Shift

Range: -24 - +24 semitones

Default: 0

This determines the key transposition of the selected Part, over a

total range of four octaves in semitone steps. A Note Shift setting of

“0” results in normal pitch. This parameter has no effect on the

individual drum/percussion sounds of the Drum Voices.

Solo

While a song is playing back on your computer or sequencer, you can

selectively solo any of the 16 Parts of the MU15. Solo lets you

isolate a single Part, to hear how that Part sounds by itself.

Along with Mute (page 49), Solo is an effective tool that helps you as

you edit the Parts, since it allows you to better hear how the

changes you make affect specific Voices as well as the overall

sound.

Operation

silence one Part to hear how all of the other Parts sound without it.

Along with Solo (page 48), Mute is a convenient tool, since it allows

you to hear how the presence or absence of specific Parts affects

the overall sound.

Filter Parameters — Cutoff Frequency

and Resonance

The MU15 features digital filters for each Part that allow you to change the

timbre or tone of the Voices. The filters are affected (together with the level)

by the EG (Envelope Generator) parameters, which allow you to change the

timbre over time as well. (Page 52.)

Cutoff Frequency

Range: -64 - +63

Default: 0

This determines the cutoff frequency of the filter. The filter effec-

tively takes out frequencies higher than the cutoff point and

“passes” the lower frequencies. Lower cutoff values create a

deeper, more rounded tone, while higher values create a brighter

tone.

EG (Envelope Generator) Parameters —

Attack Time and Release Time

The EG parameters allow you to shape the sound of a Part’s Voice — or, in

other words, set how the level and timbre of the Voice changes over time.

The relationship of the two EG parameters — Attack Time and Release Time —

are shown in the illustrations below. These parameters affect both the volume

of the Voice and its timbre (with the Filter parameters; page 50).

Even though the key is held for the same length of time in both

examples, the sound of the second example takes a much longer

time to reach full volume and sustains longer after the key is re-

leased.

English

Attack Time

Range: -64 - +63

Default: 0

This determines the Attack Time of the EG, or how long it takes for

the sound to reach full volume when a note is played. Higher

positive values result in a longer, slower attack. For the Filter, this

determines how long it takes for the sound to be affected by the

Filter values.

Release Time

Range: -64 - +63

Default: 0

This determines the Release Time of the EG, or how long the sound

sustains after a note is released. Higher positive values result in a

longer, slower sustain. For the Filter, this determines how long the

Filter effect continues after a note is released.

• Short percussive Voices (such as Marimba) whose sound decays very

quickly may not be affected by the Release Time parameter, depending

on how long the key is held. For example, if the key is held until the

sound completely dies out, there will be no sound to slowly sustain, no

matter what the Release Time setting is.

Vibrato Parameters — Rate, Depth, and Delay

Vibrato produces a quavering, vibrating sound in the Part’s Voice, by regularly

modulating the pitch. You can control the speed and depth of the Vibrato, as

well as the time it takes before the Vibrato effect is applied.

Vibrato Rate

Range: -64 - +63

Default: 0

This determines the speed of the Vibrato effect. Negative values

produce a very slow Vibrato, while higher values result in a faster

Vibrato sound.

Vibrato Depth

Range: -64 - +63

Default: 0

This determines the depth of the Vibrato effect. Higher values result

in a stronger, more pronounced Vibrato sound.

Vibrato Delay

Range: -64 - +63

Default: 0

This determines the delay in the start of the Vibrato effect. Delay is

effective especially for producing a natural sound on stringed

instrument Voices. For example, violin players often use delayed

Vibrato, especially while playing long notes. The Delay parameter is

useful in recreating this effect, producing a richer, more lifelike

sound. Higher values result in a longer Delay time.

The MU15 features a built-in multi-effect processor with three

independent digital effects: Reverb, Chorus, and Variation.

Reverb Parameters

Reverb recreates the sounds of various performance environments by adding

an ambient wash of delays or reflections. Several different types of Reverb

effects are available to simulate the ambience of different sized rooms.

For general information on using the Reverb effect, see page 32.

This determines the Type of Reverb effect, or the performance

environment that is simulated. When “NoEffect” is selected, the

Reverb effect is turned off.

Reverb Send Level

Range: 0 - 127

Default: 40

This determines the level of the selected Part’s Voice that is sent to

the Reverb effect. Each Part can be set independently for different

amounts of Reverb on each Voice. A value of “0” results in a

completely “dry” Voice sound.

NOTE

• Keep in mind that Reverb Type (above) must be set to something other

than “NoEffect” for this parameter to work as intended.

Chorus Parameters

Chorus uses pitch modulation to create a variety of rich, spacious-sounding

effects, including Chorus, Celeste, and Flanger.

For general information on using the Chorus effect, see page 32.

Chorus Type

Settings: NoEffect, Chorus1 - 4, Celeste1 - 4, Flanger1 - 3

Default: Chorus1

This determines the Type of Chorus effect. When “NoEffect” is

selected, the Chorus effect is turned off.

Chorus and Celeste are used to subtly enhance the sound, and

generally make it richer, fatter, and warmer. Flanger uses modulation

to create an animated, swirling motion effect, and produces a

characteristic metallic sound.

Variation Parameters

The Variation effects provide a wealth of additional tools for processing the

Voices of the MU15. It features most of the same effects found in the Reverb

and Chorus effects. This is not mere redundancy; it allows you to use two

types of Reverb or Chorus simultaneously on different Voices. For example,

you may want to have a Chorus effect on Voice and apply Flanger to another.

Variation also gives you many special effects not found in the other sections,

such as Delay, Gate Reverb, Rotary Speaker, and Wah.

Variation effects can be applied either to a single selected Part or to all Parts,

depending on the Variation Connection setting (page 60): Insertion or System.

For general information on using the Variation effect, see page 33.

Edit Mode

Variation Connection

Settings: INS (Insertion), SYS (System)

Default: INS

This determines how the Variation effect is connected in the effect

chain of the MU15. When set to “SYS” (System), Variation is

applied to all Parts, according to the amount of Variation Send Level

(page 61) set for each Part. When set to “INS” (Insertion), Variation

is applied to only the selected Part, also set in the Variation Send

Level parameter.

About “NoEffect” and “Thru”

When Variation Connection is set to “INS” and “NoEffect” is

selected, the sound for the Part is turned off (there is no “dry”

sound). When “Thru” is selected, you can hear the dry, unproc-

essed sound.

NOTE

• The 3BandEQ and 2BandEQ Types have little effect on the sound

unless the “hidden” parameters are changed via MIDI. (Page 91.)

Variation Send Level

Settings: off, on (when Variation Connection is set to “INS”)

0 - 127 (when Variation Connection is set to “SYS”)

Default: off (for “INS”)

0 (for “SYS”)

When the Variation Connection parameter (page 60) is set to “INS,”

this determines whether the Variation effect is applied to the se-

lected Part or not. Also, since the Variation effect cannot be used

simultaneously on several Parts (for “INS”), only the last Part for

which this parameter has been set to “on” will have the Variation

effect. A setting of “off” results in no Variation effect being applied.

VarSend

Edit Mode

When the Variation Connection parameter (page 60) is set to “SYS,”

this determines the level of the selected Part’s Voice that is sent to

the Variation effect. In this case, each Part can be set independently

for different amounts of Variation on each Voice. A value of “0”

results in a completely “dry” Voice sound (no Variation effect).

NOTE

• Keep in mind that Variation Type (page 60) must be set to something

other than “NoEffect” or “Thru” for this parameter to work as

intended.

• If the Variation Type is set to “NoEffect” and Variation Connection is set

to “INS,” there will be no sound for the Part. To remedy this, set the

Type to “Thru” or to one of the other effect Types. (Page 60.)

Dry Level

Range: 0 - 127

Default: 127

This determines the level or volume of the selected Part’s “dry”

sound — the sound of the Voice without the effects. Dry Level gives

you additional fine control over the effect balance. Setting this to a

low value turns down the level of the “dry” sound and emphasizes

the effect sound.

NOTE

• When Variation Connection is set to “INS,” the Dry Level parameter is

automatically set to “off” and cannot be changed.

Utility Controls

Master Tune

Range: +/- 999 (in 0.1 cent steps)

Default: 0

This determines the overall fine tuning of the MU15’s Voices. It

does not affect the pitch of the individual drum/percussion sounds of

the Drum Voices. Master Tune is especially useful for adjusting the

pitch of the MU15 when playing with other instruments. (The actual

pitch of each Part depends also on the Note Shift parameter on page

47.)

Master Tune ................ 63

Velocity ................ 64

Local Control ................ 64

Dump Out ................ 65

Initialize All ................ 68

Velocity

Range: 1 - 127

Default: 88

This determines the note on velocity of the MU15’s built-in keyboard.

All notes that you play from the panel keyboard will be at this fixed

velocity, and sound at the same level. This velocity is also transmit-

ted to connected devices via the MIDI OUT or TO HOST terminals.

However, it does not affect the incoming velocity of notes played

from a connected sequencer or external keyboard.

NOTE

• Settings of 20 or less may result in little or no sound. For normal

applications, make sure this is set to around 88 (default).

• Keep in mind that when playing the MU15’s keyboard, the actual sound

level of a selected Part also depends on the Volume parameter in the

Part controls (page 46). If the Volume setting is at or near the mini-

mum, the Part may be very low in level, no matter what the Velocity

setting made here.

Local Control

Edit Mode

Velocity

Velocity setting

LoclCtrl

Local Control

setting

English

Range: off, on

Default: on

This determines whether or not the internal tone generator responds

to the notes you play on the MU15’s keyboard. Normally, this should

be on. Setting this to “off” effectively disconnects the panel

keyboard from the internal tone generator. Even when this is set to

“off,” notes played on the keyboard are still transmitted via the TO

HOST or MIDI OUT terminals.

HINT

• A common application of Local Control is when using the MU15 to

input notes into a sequencer. If the sequencer is also set up to play

back data using the Voices of the MU15, when you play the MU15, it

will be sounding its own Voices twice — once from the keyboard, and

after a very brief delay, again from the MIDI data coming from the

sequencer. This not only decreases the available polyphony of the

MU15 by half, it also creates an undesirable flanging sound. To remedy

this, set Local Control to “off.”

• Another useful application of the “off” setting of this parameter is

when you’ve connected the MU15 to another tone generator and want

to play only that tone generator and leave the MU15 Voices silent.

Dump Out

This function allows you to save the current parameter settings of

the MU15 to a MIDI sequencer, computer or a MIDI data recorder

(such as the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI Data Filer).

Appendix

Troubleshooting

Even though the MU15 is exceptionally easy to use, it may occasionally not

function as you expect it to. If that happens, check the possible problems and

solutions below before assuming that the instrument is faulty.

Possible Cause and Solution

• If you are using an AC adaptor, check that

the adaptor properly plugged into both the

AC outlet and the MU15 (Page 18.)

• If you are using batteries, check that a

fresh set of batteries properly installed in

the battery compartment. (Page 19.)

• Check that the side panel volume control

is set to an appropriate level. (Pages 16,

21.)

• Check that other volume-related param-

eters are set to appropriate levels. (See

Velocity, page 64, and Volume, page 46.)

• Check the Mute and Solo settings.

(Pages 48, 49.) If a Part is being muted,

or an empty Part is being soloed, you may

not get any sound.

• Check that Local Control is set to on.

(Page 64.) Also check the points for “No

Sound” above.

Problem

No power.

No sound.

No sound when playing the

keyboard on the MU15.

No sound when playing the

MU15 from a computer,

sequencer or external

keyboard.

• Check all MIDI connections, making sure

that the MIDI OUT of the external device

is connected to the MIDI IN of the MU15,

and that the MIDI IN of the external

device is connected to the MIDI OUT of

the MU15. (Page 39.) Or, if you are using

the TO HOST terminal with a computer,

make sure that the terminal is properly

connected to the computer and that the

HOST SELECT switch is properly set for

your particular computer. (Page 37.)

• Check the settings of the connected MIDI

device. If Expression and Master Volume

are set to low values, the MU15 may put

out little or no sound.

• Check the Mute setting. (Page 49.) If a

Part is being muted, it will not sound.

• Check the Variation effect settings. If

Variation Connection (page 60) is set to

“INS” and Variation Type is set to

“NoEffect,” the selected Part may not

sound. Also, if Variation Type is set to

“NoEffect” or “Thru” and Dry Level is set

near or at the minimum value, the

selected Part may not sound.

• The maximum polyphony of the MU15

may be exceeded. The MU15 can play no

more than 32 notes at once.

• Check that Local Control is set to “off.”

(Page 64.) Also, check the settings on

your sequencer or computer (such as

“MIDI Thru” or “MIDI Echo”).

• This is normal, if you’ve routed the MU15

to a sequencer or computer and that

device’s “MIDI Thru” or “MIDI Echo”

option is turned on.

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

No sound of a specific Part.

Notes are cut off or omitted.

When using a sequencer or

computer, an unusual “flang-

ing” sound occurs and/or not

all notes seem to sound.

Even though Local Control is

set to “off,” the MU15

continues to sound when

playing the built-in keyboard.

Troubleshooting

English

Error Messages

Errors may occur from time to time, and when they do the MU15 will display a

message to indicate the type of problem so that you can rectify it and return to

normal operation.

“Battery”

The battery voltage is too low for proper operation. Replace the old batteries

with a set of new ones. (Page 19.)

“CheckSum” (Checksum Error)

The checksum of the received System Exclusive message is incorrect. Check

the checksum of the message and try transmitting again. (The checksum

which is calculated for the received data will be displayed.)

“IlglData” (Illegal Data)

A data error resulted during reception of MIDI messages. Try transmitting the

data again, or turn the MU15 off and back on again.

Or the MU15 is connected to a computer via the TO HOST terminal and the

power of the computer is turned off. Turn on your computer again. If this still

doesn’t resolve the problem, turn all equipment off and then back on again.

“BuffFull” (MIDI Buffer Full)

Too much MIDI data is being received by the MU15 at one time. Reduce the

amount of data being sent to the MU15.

“MIDIAdrs” (System Exclusive Address Error)

The data of the received System Exclusive message is incorrect. Check the

address of the message and try transmitting again.

“MIDIData” (System Exclusive Data Error)

An error has been detected in the MIDI System Exclusive data received by the

MU15. Check the data of the message (as to whether it requires an MSB or

LSB header) and try transmitting again.

MIDI Data Format

■ What is MIDI?

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital

Interface, a sophisticated system that allows

various electronic musical instruments and other

devices to “communicate” with each other. This

is done by sending and receiving MIDI

messages over a MIDI cable.

Since MIDI has such as a broad scope and so

many different uses, it would be impossible to

explain everything here. However, if you’re a

MIDI “novice,” the brief explanations below

will give you a good start in understanding this

powerful and flexible technology.

■ MIDI Messages

The MU15 is controlled by various types of

MIDI messages. Using them in song data on a

sequencer or from a MIDI keyboard, you can:

• Determine the Sound Module mode

• Select MIDI channels, Voices and effects

• Play the Voices

• Edit the Parts and change parameter values

• Edit the effects

● Note On/Off (Key On/Off)

These tell the MU15 which notes to play and

how long they are to be played. Velocity values

let you change the dynamics or level of the

sound, depending on how strongly you play the

keys.

● Program Change

These messages determine which Voice is

selected for each Part, and they can be inserted

at any desired location in the song. Used with

Bank Select messages, they let you access any

of the 676 Voices of the MU15.

● Control Change

These messages provide powerful, real-time

control over various aspects of the sound —

including volume, pan position, sustain,

modulation, brightness, portamento time, effect

depth, and many others. Depending on the

controllers available on your particular MIDI

instrument and their Control Change number

assignments, you can use key velocity,

aftertouch (see below) foot controllers, pedals,

sliders, performance wheels, and joysticks to

control these aspects of the sound.

● Pitch Bend

These messages let you continuously raise or

lower the pitch of the Voices as you play. They

are usually controlled with a pitch bend wheel

on a MIDI keyboard.

● Aftertouch

This is a pressure sensing function that lets you

control an assigned aspect of the sound by the

strength with which you press the keys. The

MU15 responds to both Channel (global) and

Polyphonic (individual keys) Aftertouch.

● System Exclusive

These messages let you delve even deeper into

the inner workings of the MU15, letting you

control the master volume and tuning, Sound

Module mode (XG or TG300B), Part param-

eters, effect types and parameters, and various

other settings.

One of the best and easiest ways to use System

Exclusive messages is with Yamaha’s XGworks

software. The included XG Editor window lets

you view and edit all of the MU15 parameters

from your computer. Special “Detail” buttons

on the main window give you comprehensive

control over the Parts, Drum Setups, and effects.

The changes you make are instantaneous, and

you can save all your custom settings for future

recall as System Exclusive data, either directly

to the current song or as a special XG Parameter

file.

NOTE

The XG Editor in XGworks has additional parameters (for other

XG instruments) that are not available on the MU15.

MIDI Data Format

1. Channel messages

This device transmits only NOTE ON and NOTE OFF.

1.1 Note on/note off

These messages convey keyboard performance data. Note-on

is transmitted when a note is pressed, and note-off is

transmitted when a note is released. These messages contain a

note number which indicates the key that was played, and a

“velocity” which indicates how strongly it was played. When a

note-on of velocity “0” is received, it has the same effect as a

note-off.”

Range of note numbers received = C-2...G8

Velocity range = 1...127 (Velocity is received only for note-on)

When the Multi Part parameter “Rcv NOTE MESSAGE” = OFF,

that part will not receive these messages.

For a drum part*, key-off is not received if the DrumSetup

parameter Rcv NOTE OFF = OFF.

For a drum part, key-on is not received if the DrumSetup

parameter Rcv NOTE ON = OFF.

* Drum Part indicates that the Multi Part parameter PART MODE

is “set to DRUM or DRUMS1,2.”

1.2 Control changes

These messages control volume or pan etc.

Their functions are differentiated by the control number (Ctrl#).

If the Multi Part parameter Rcv CONTROL CHANGE = OFF,

that part will not receive control changes.

1.2.1 Bank Select

This message selects the voice bank.

The voice bank is selected by the combination of two control

change messages: MSB and LSB.

Control# Parameter Data Range

0 Bank Select MSB 0, 64, 126, 127

(Normal voice,SFX voice,

SFX kit, Drum kit)

32 Bank Select LSB 0...127

In the XG mode, MSB numbers select Voice type (Normal Voice

or Drum Voice), and LSB numbers select Voice banks.

In the TG300B mode, LSB is fixed, and MSB numbers select

Voice banks.

The Bank Select data will be processed only after a Program

Change is received, and then voice bank will change at that

time. If you wish to change the voice bank as well as the voice,

you must transmit Bank Select and Program Change messages

as a set, in the order of Bank Select MSB, LSB, and Program

Change.

1.2.2 Modulation

The notes that are sounding while the pedal is pressed will be

sustained.

Control# Parameter Data Range

64 Hold1 0...63,64...127

(OFF , ON)

For data of 0...63 the sustain pedal will be OFF (released), and

for data of 64...127 it will be on (pressed).

When this is ON, currently-sounding notes will continue to

sound even if note-off messages are received.

If the Multi Part parameter Rcv HOLD1 = OFF, that part will not

receive Hold1.

1.2.9 Portamento

This message controls portamento pedal on/off.

When the pedal is pressed, a portamento effect will be applied.

Control# Parameter Data Range

65 Portamento 0...63,64...127

(OFF , ON)

For data of 0...63 the portamento pedal will be OFF (released),

and for 64...127 it will be ON (pressed).

When this is ON, the pitch will change smoothly between notes.

The time over which the pitch changes is adjusted by

Portamento Time (see 1.2.3).

Also, when the Multi Part parameter MONO/POLY MODE =

MONO, the tone will also change smoothly (legato) if

Portamento = ON.

If any of the following Multi Part parameter settings apply, that

part will not receive Portamento.

•Rcv PORTAMENTO = OFF

•PART MODE=DRUM, DRUMS1,2

1.2.10 Sostenuto

2. System exclusive messages

These MIDI messages are not directly “performance data,” but

are used to make settings related to the system of the MIDI

device.

For example, these messages can be used to save data

specific to this device on a MIDI data filer such as the MDF3.

By using these messages, it is possible to edit almost all

settings of the MU15 from an external MIDI device.

The device number of the MU15 is fixed to “All”. And when

sending these messages, it is fixed to “0”.
