MU128 Guided Tour
Setting Up Your MU128
In this section, you’ll learn how to:
ᮣ Connect the MU128 in the most basic setup — with a MIDI keyboard and
an external amplifier/speaker system.
Other setup examples are covered in later sections; for example, setting up
for use with a computer is on page 35. Once you’ve set up the MU128, we
urge you to play the Demo song (page 30) and hear what the instrument is
capable of.
What You’ll Need
☛ The MU128 and the included PA-6 power adaptor.
☛ 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.
Making the Connections
1
CAUTION
Before making any connections, turn all related equipment off, and make sure the
MU128 power adaptor is not connected to an electrical outlet.
Operation
1 Connect the MIDI cable.
Connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the MIDI keyboard to the
MIDI IN-A of the MU128 (as shown in the illustration).
NOTE
The MU128 features both rear and front panel MIDI IN-A terminals. Since both
cannot be used simultaneously, you must determine which of them you will use.
At the factory, the MIDI IN-A is set for rear panel operation. This can be changed
to front panel operation in the Utility mode’s System parameters (page 157).
2 Connect the audio cables.
Connect the R and L OUTPUT jacks of the MU128 to the
appropriate inputs on the amplifier speaker system (as shown in
the illustration).
