MU128 Guided Tour

6 Play the Voice.
Play this new Voice from the connected MIDI keyboard. (Make
sure that the keyboard is transmitting on channel 1.) If you’ve
carefully followed all instructions up to now, the “level meter”
of the Part should move — and you should be able to hear the
sound of the MU128 as you play. Try selecting other Voice banks
and Voices and play them as well. Each Voice bank contains
some different Voices, some of which are variations, some
unique.
Details
• The MU128’s Voices and program numbers follow the GM (General MIDI) for-
mat. This means that you can select a Voice type by its number, then select
Voice variations by bank. For example, all the nylon guitar Voices are at pro-
gram number 25.
• In the XG mode, the Voices are conveniently organized in the banks according
to their type. For example, Voices having stereo variations or brighter variations
are found in the “Stereo” and “Bright” banks, respectively. (See the “Sound List
& MIDI Data” booklet.)
• Though the MU128 skips over bank numbers with identical Voices (see step #3
above), it can be set to not skip bank numbers, if desired. (See page 161: Utility
mode/System/Display Bank Select.)
Refer to page 49 for more details about the MU128 voice organization.
