Welcome to the MU10
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MU10
Tone Generator!
The MU10 is a sophisticated, yet highly compact MIDI tone
generator, specially designed for use with computers and MIDI music
systems.
With the built-in host computer interface and MIDI terminals,
the MU10 is ideal for any computer music system — from connection
to a simple laptop to integration in a complete MIDI studio. The host
computer interface is especially convenient, allowing you to directly
connect it to your computer without the need for a special MIDI
interface.
Featuring Yamaha’s high quality AWM2 tone generation technol-
ogy, the MU10 has 676 Normal Voices and 21 Drum Voices (percus-
sion sets), with full General MIDI compatibility — including
Yamaha’s new XG-MIDI. It provides 16-Part multi-timbral capac-
ity and full 32-note polyphony for playback of even the most sophis-
ticated song data. Three independent digital effect sections — with
11 types of Reverb, 11 types of Chorus, and 43 different Variation
effects — can be used simultaneously and give you enormous versatility in “sweetening” the sound. Plus, the MU10 has two convenient A/
D INPUT jacks, allowing you to connect external audio sources
(such as a microphone, guitar, or CD player), and mix those sources
with the AWM2 Voices of the MU10.
Because of all the above, as well as its exceptionally portable size
and convenient battery/AC adaptor power supply, the MU10 is an
invaluable tool for all MIDI musicians and performers.

Precautions
Your MU10 will give you years of reliable service if you follow the simple rules given
below:
■ LOCATION
Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage.
• Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).
• High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, outside, or in a car during
the daytime).
• Excessive humidity.
• Excessive dust.
• Strong vibration.
■ POWER SUPPLY
Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument is not in use.
This instrument runs from either an optional AC adaptor or batteries:
(When using AC adaptor) Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3B, PA-1207 or equivalent AC Power Adaptor to power your instrument from the AC mains. The
use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor
and the instrument.
An AC adaptor should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the instrument is
not to be used for an extended period of time.
Unplug the AC adaptor during electric storms.
Avoid plugging the AC adaptor into the same AC outlet as appliances with
high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using
multi-plug adaptors since these can result in reduced sound quality, operation
errors, and possibly damage.
Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the AC
adaptor cable.
(When using batteries) When the batteries run down, replace them with a
complete set of new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries, and
different kind (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time.
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.

The MU10 — What It Is and What It Can Do
What It Is
The MU10 is a compact, highly portable MIDI tone generator, designed
especially for use with computers and MIDI music systems. Specifically, it
is a high-quality XG- and GM-compatible tone generator, with 676 Voices
and 21 drum Voices (percussion sets). The tone generator can be played
either from an external MIDI device (such as a keyboard or a sequencer) or a
computer. The MU10 also includes three independent digital effect sections
— with 11 types of Reverb, 11 types of Chorus, and 43 different Variation
effects — for enhancing the sound of the Voices.
The MU10 features a built-in host computer interface, allowing you to
directly connect it to your Macintosh or IBM PC/AT (and compatible)
computer—eliminating the need of installing a special MIDI interface to your
computer. With the proper sequencing software on the computer, the MU10
can be used for both recording and playing back of sequencer data. The
internal tone generator also allows for comprehensive control over all Voice
and effect parameters — via incoming system exclusive messages, transmitted from a sequencer or other MIDI device. (Refer to the MIDI Data Format
section on page 25 for details on controlling various MU10 parameters.)
The MU10 also features two convenient A/D INPUT jacks, allowing you to
connect external audio sources and mix those sources with the Voices.
Moreover, the built-in effects can be applied to the external sources as well
as the internal AWM2 Voices.
The MU10 is also the latest instrument in the Yamaha line to support the XG
format, a new addition to the General MIDI standard. In short, XG provides
for more instrument sounds and variations, and greater expressive control
over voices and effects.

10
What It Can Do
Here are a few application ideas on how you can use the MU10. 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.
■ Using in a MIDI Music System
Connect the MU10 to a computer with MIDI sequencing software, and
you’ve got comprehensive music making power—for recording, composing,
arranging, practicing, and editing. Combine it with a laptop computer, and
you’ve got a complete and portable music production system that’s ready to
go wherever you go. The built-in A/D Inputs let you connect an external
audio source (such as a microphone or guitar), allowing you to play along
with the MIDI tracks.
The MU10 is an ideal addition to larger MIDI studios as well, since it gives
you a high-quality 16-Part multi-timbral tone generator.
The MU10 — What It Is and What It Can Do
■ Multimedia
Since it’s portable and compatible with the XG and General MIDI formats,
the MU10 is a natural for multimedia applications. Because of its portability
and great sound, it’s the only tone generator you’ll need for recording,
editing and playing back MIDI data on your multimedia creations.
■ Using With a MIDI Keyboard in Live Performance
Simply connect the MU10 to a MIDI keyboard and play the dynamic Voices
in live performance situations. With the built-in A/D Inputs, you can even
use the MU10 as a simple 2-channel mixer. Bring a computer or MIDI data
player to your gig, and you can even mix another instrument (such as guitar
or bass) with the MIDI-driven Voices of the MU10.

Using the A/D INPUT Function
The MU10 also features an A/D INPUT function that allows you to connect two
external audio sources — such as a microphone, guitar, or CD player — and mix those
sources with the Voices of the MU10. For example, you could use this to sing or play
a guitar or keyboard over backing tracks played with the MU10 Voices from a MIDI
sequencer. With a MIDI keyboard connected to the MU10, you could plug in a CD
player and play keyboard parts along with your favorite CDs.
The built-in effects of the MU10 are also applied to the INPUT sources.
■
NOTE
●
When the A/D INPUT 1 jack (or both 1 and 2) is connected, the A/D INPUT
function is turned on and the maximum polyphony (simultaneous notes) of the
MU10 is reduced from 32 to 30.
●
Audio signals received via the A/D INPUT 1 and 2 jacks are mixed to one part,
then processed through the effect sections and mixed with the internal Voices of
the MU10.
●
When the power is turned on, the A/D Input parameters are reset to the follow-
ing values:
Input Gain — Mic
Bank Select — 0
Receive Channel — OFF
Volume — 100
Chorus Send — 0
Reverb Send — 40
Receive Program Change — OFF
