How to Use This Manual
You are probably eager to try out your new MU128 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.
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” basis, going
directly to the information you need as you need it.
However, to get the most out of your MU128, we strongly suggest that you read the
following sections in the order given:
1) Precautions
This gives you important information on how to care for your new MU128,
how to avoid damaging it, and how to ensure long-term, reliable operation.
2) The MU128 — What It Is and What It Can Do
This briefly provides an overview of the functions and features of the MU128
and offers some important hints on how you can use it effectively. It also
provides convenient page references so that you can easily find out about
features and functions of interest.
3) The Controls of the MU128
This section introduces you to the panel controls and connectors.
4) Guided Tour
This is perhaps the most important and valuable section of the manual. It gets
you started using your new MU128, helping you set up the instrument and
play it — and it introduces you to virtually all of the important functions and
features. The hands-on experience you gain in this section will help you
quickly master the instrument and aid you in navigating the more detailed
sections of the manual.
5) Setting Up the MU128 in Your Music System
This section (within the Guided Tour) provides all you need to know to effec-
tively integrate the MU128 into your present computer music system.
6) Reference
Once you’re familiar with everything above, lightly go over this comprehen-
sive guide to all editing functions. You won’t need (or want) to read
everything at once, but it is there for you to refer to when you need
information about a certain feature or function.
7) Appendix
Use the sections in the Appendix as necessary. For example, the Index will
come in handy when you need to quickly find information on a specific topic.
Other sections, such as the Glossary, Troubleshooting and Error Messages
provide additional useful information.
8) Sound List & MIDI Data booklet
This separate booklet features lists of the Performances, Voices, drum sounds,
effect types and parameters, as well as details on all relevant MIDI messages
and data.
