About Cable Messages
The MU80 can receive Cable messages (F5) when the TO HOST terminal
is connected to the serial terminal of a computer. On the MU80, MIDI
receive channels A1…A16 are controlled from Port 1, and channels
B1…B16 are controlled from Port 2. If the software you are using can
address separate MIDI ports, data can be received over 32 channels simul-
taneously, allowing 32 parts to be played with only one serial cable. By
connecting another multi-timbral tone generator to the MIDI OUT terminal
of the MU80 and setting the Thru Port function (page 102) to a value other
than 1 or 2, you can play back data over a total of 48 MIDI channels — 32
on the MU80 and another 16 on the connected tone generator.
