Precautions
Your MU5 will give you years of reliable service if you follow the simple precautions below:
LOCATION
Keep the instrument away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to high temperatures (such as direct sunlight) or humid­ity. Also avoid locations which are subject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which could cause mechanical damage.
USE THE CORRECT POWER ADAPTOR
Use only the recommended PA-3, PA-4 or PA-40 Power Adaptor for supplying power to the instrument. Use of another adaptor may cause serious damage to the instrument or the adaptor itself. (Never use the PA-3B.)
MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF WHEN MAKING OR REMOVING CONNECTIONS
To prevent damage to the instrument and other connected equip­ment, always turn off the power prior to connecting or discon­necting cables. Also, turn the power off when the instrument is not in use, and disconnect the power adaptor during electric storms.
HANDLE THE INSTRUMENT WITH CARE
Although the instrument has been constructed to withstand the rigors of normal use for optimum sturdiness and reliability, avoid subjecting it to strong physical shocks (such as dropping or hitting it). Since the MU5 is a precision-made electronic device, also avoid applying excessive force to the various controls. When moving the instrument, first unplug the power adaptor and all other cables to prevent damage to cords and jacks. Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the cable.

Page 11
Precautions
CLEAN WITH A SOFT, DRY CLOTH
Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the instru­ment, since these will damage the cabinet finish or dull the keys. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a soft, clean, slightly moistened cloth making sure to wipe the case off again with a dry cloth.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
Avoid using the unit near televisions, radios or other equipment generating electromagnetic fields. Proximity to such equipment may cause the unit to malfunction, and may generate interference noise in the other appliance as well.
DO NOT OPEN THE CASE OR TRY REPAIRING THE INSTRUMENT YOURSELF
The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Never open the case or tamper with the internal circuitry in any way, since doing so may result in damage to the instrument. Refer all servicing to qualified Yamaha service personnel.
MIDI CABLES
When connecting the instrument to other MIDI equipment, be sure to use only high-quality cables made especially for MIDI data transmission. Also, avoid using cables longer than 15 meters, since long cables can result in data errors.
Yamaha is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.

The MU5 — What It Is and What It Can Do
The MU5 — What It Is and What It Can Do
What It Is...
The MU5 is a compact, highly portable and easy-to-use tone generator. It features full General MIDI Level 1 compatibility with 128 General MIDI Voices and 8 drum kits. The MU5 has 28-Voice polyphony and is 16-Part multi-timbral. In other words, the MU5 has 16 different Parts, each with its own Voice, so that up to 16 different Voices can be sounded simultaneously.
With the built-in two-octave keyboard, you can play any of the Voices directly from the MU5 itself. Or you can play them from a connected MIDI keyboard. In addition, the MU5 also has a TO HOST terminal for easy interfacing with a computer, allowing you to play the Voices using your favorite music software. This is where the advanced multi-timbral capabilities come in, letting you play up to 16 different Voices at the same time.
About General MIDI
General MIDI is a new addition to the worldwide MIDI standard. MIDI, as you know, stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and makes it possible for various electronic musical instruments and other devices to communicate with each other. For example, by connecting a sequencer to the MU5’s MIDI IN terminal, you could play back a song on the sequencer using the Voices of the MU5.
So, where does General MIDI fit in all of this? One of the most important features of General MIDI is in the standardization of Voices. This means that a song recorded in the General MIDI format can be played back on any Gen­eral MIDI compatible tone generator and sound just as the composer intended. For example, if there is an alto sax solo in the song, it will be played by an alto sax Voice on the General MIDI tone generator (and not by a tuba or harpsi­chord!). Since the MU5 is fully compatible with General MIDI, you can take advantage of the vast wealth of musical material recorded in that format.

Page 16
What It Can Do...
Here are a few ideas on how you can use the MU5. 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 With MIDI Keyboard
Use the MU5 as supplementary tone generator with your MIDI keyboard and play the Voices of both instruments in a layer together. Or, if your keyboard has the capability, program a split so that the notes you play on the right side of the keyboard play only the Voices of the MU5.
Using With Other MIDI Controllers
Even if youre not a keyboard player, you can still play the MU5 with other types of MIDI controllers. For example, you can use a MIDI percussion controller to play the drum and percussion sounds of the MU5.
When Connected to a Computer or Sequencer
Home Studio Setup
The MU5 integrates easily into any existing setup. If you have a MIDI keyboard, computer and sequencing software, the MU5 with its high-quality Voices and multi-timbral capabilities can expand your home studio system.
Carry It With You
If you have a laptop computer (and sequencing software), simply connect the MU5, plug in some headphones and youve got a complete music making system thats ready to go wherever you go. Use it for composing, arranging, practicing or making/ playing demos for your band.

The MU5 — What It Is and What It Can Do
Perform With It
Bring it with you to a gig as long as theres a MIDI keyboard on stage, you can use the high-quality sounds of MU5 in your performance.
Multimedia
Since its portable and compatible with General MIDI, the MU5 is a natural for multimedia applications. Bring it with you to a presentation since the computer interface is built-in to the MU5, it hooks up instantly and easily to the computers serial port or printer port, without the need for any other equipment.
About the Modes of the MU5
The MU5 has three operating modes: Play, Utility and Part Edit. (Utility and Part Edit are the two edit-related modes of the MU5.)
Play Mode
This is the normal mode of the MU5, the one in which you normally play and select the internal Voices (either from the built-in keyboard or a connected MIDI device), select Parts, and use the Mute and Solo functions.
Utility Mode
The Utility mode lets you set functions related to the overall operation of the MU5, such as Master Tune, Transpose and Velocity settings. Included also are utility operations, such as sending bulk data to a data storage device, and initializing of the MU5 settings.
Part Edit Mode
The Part Edit mode allows you to change certain settings for each individual Part, such as the Volume, Pan and individual tuning settings for each Part. The internal Voices can be sounded during editing, allowing you to hear the effects of your edits.

Setting Up the MU5 in Your Music System
As you learned in the section The MU5 — What It Is and What It Can Do on page 11, the MU5 can be integrated into a variety of setups. It would be impossible to cover all connection possibilities in a short manual as this; however, the section below will help in quickly setting up the MU5 and using it in your system.
Connecting With a Computer
The MU5 features a built-in host computer interface, allowing you to directly connect it to your computer eliminating the need of installing a special MIDI interface to your computer. The MU5 can be used with the following computers: Apple Macintosh, IBM PC and the NEC PC-9800 Series.
If your computer has a MIDI interface you may want to connect the MU5 to it, rather than using the host computer interface on the MU5. (See the section Connecting to Other MIDI Devices on page 20.)
Depending on the computer or interface used, set the HOST SELECT switch to the appropriate setting: MIDI, PC-1 (NEC computers), PC-2 (IBM and clones), or MAC (Macintosh). For information on the types of cables that can be used for connection, see the section MIDI/Computer Connecting Cables” on page 22.

When you turn on the power of the MU5 or press the e button, the Play mode is automatically called up. In this mode, you can select any of the 16 Parts for playing, and select which Voice is played in each Part.
Playing the Keyboard
The built-in two-octave keyboard allows you to play the Voices directly from the MU5 itself, without having to use an external keyboard. Since what you play on the keyboard is also transmit­ted via MIDI (or the TO HOST terminals), you can also play an external tone generator or enter notes to a sequencer.

Using the MU5 with a Computer or Sequencer
By connecting the MU5 to a computer or sequencer, you have a powerful music system for playing back songs and even and creating your own songs, using the Voices of the MU5.
Make sure that the MU5 is properly connected to the computer or sequencer, and that your music software is ready to run. (Refer to pages 17 – 21 for connection examples and instructions.) If you are using the TO HOST terminal or if both MIDI terminals are properly connected, you should be able to play songs from your software and enter notes to the software from the MU5.
Using the MU5 with a MIDI Data Storage Device
You can also use the MU5 with a MIDI data storage device, such as the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer. This lets you save or back up whatever changes youve made in the settings of the Utility and Part Edit modes. Then, when you want to recall those settings, you can transfer the appropriate data from the storage device.
The MDF2 also allows you to play compatible song data on the MU5 directly from the MDF2 itself, without the need of a sequencer.
Make sure that the MU5 is properly connected to the data storage device (via MIDI). (Refer to page 20 for the connection example.) Use the Dump Out function (page 36) to send data to the device. Also refer to the owners manual of your data storage device for specific operating instructions in receiving or sending data.

Using the MU5 with a MIDI Data Storage Device / Muting and Soloing Parts
Muting and Soloing Parts
While a song is playing back on your computer or sequencer, you can selec­tively mute or solo any of the 16 Parts of the MU5. Mute lets you silence one Part to hear how all of the other Parts sound without it. Solo lets you isolate a single Part, to hear how that Part sounds by itself.
Mute and Solo are effective tools that help you as you edit the Parts, since they allow you to better hear how the changes you make affect specific Voices as well as the overall sound.
Operation
During playback, press the m button. Each press cycles through the three functions: Mute, Solo and Normal opera­tion.

Editing
The editing features of the MU5 provide various controls for changing the Parts and setting other important operating functions. Among other things, these let you set the Volume or pitch of each Part independently, change the Velocity of the built-in keyboard, and save all of your edits to a connected computer, sequencer or data storage device.
The MU5 has two edit modes: Utility and Part Edit. The Utility mode func­tions are related to the overall operation of the MU5, while the Part Edit mode provides independent controls for each Part. (See the Reference section of this manual for information about the specific editing functions.)

Reference
Utility Mode
The Utility mode lets you set functions related to the overall operation of the MU5, such as Master Tune, Transpose and Velocity settings. Included also are utility operations, such as sending bulk data to a data storage device, and initializing of the MU5 settings.
Master Tune

This determines the overall fine tuning of the MU5s Voices. It also affects the pitch of the individual drum/percussion sounds of the drum kits. Master Tune is especially useful for adjusting the pitch of the MU5 when playing with other instruments. (The actual pitch of each Voice depends also on the other pitch related parameters: Transpose, Note Shift and Part Tune.)

Transpose
Utility Mode
PART PGM VOICE NAME

0
This determines the overall key transposition of the MU5’s Voices, over a total range of four octaves in semitone steps. A Transpose setting of “0” results in normal pitch. Unlike Master Tune, it has no effect on the individual drum/percussion sounds of the drum kits.
Mute Lock

Off
This determines whether or not the Part Mute status of the MU5 is reset when receiving a GM Mode On message. Generally, this message is automatically transmitted to the MU5 as part of General MIDI song data. When Mute Lock is off, this resets the Mute status of the Parts on the MU5. If you want to keep the current Mute settings and disable this reset, set Mute Lock to On. (For more information on the Mute function, see page 29.)
33
Page 38
Velocity
Range
Default
PART PGM VOICE NAME
Not available Velocity setting
#
1 – 127
88
This determines the note on velocity of the built-in keyboard. All notes that you play from the MU5s keyboard will be at this fixed velocity, and sound at the same level. This velocity is also transmitted to connected devices via the MIDI or TO HOST terminals. However, this does not affect the incoming velocity of notes played from a connected sequencer or external keyboard.
NOTE
Keep in mind that when playing the MU5’s keyboard, the actual sound level of a Part also depends on the Volume setting in the Part Edit mode. If the Volume setting is at or near the minimum, the Part may be very low in level, no matter what the Velocity setting made here.
34
Page 39
Local Control
Utility Mode
Settings
Default
PART PGM VOICE NAME
Not available Local Control setting
#
Off, On (Use the -/= buttons to change this setting.)
On
This determines whether or not the internal tone generator responds to the notes you play on the MU5s keyboard. Setting this to Off effectively disconnects the MU5 keyboard from the internal tone generator. However, notes played on the keyboard are still transmitted via the TO HOST or MIDI OUT terminals.
HINT
One useful application of Local Control is when youve connected the MU5 to another tone genera­tor and want to play only that tone generator and leave the MU5 Voices silent.
A more common application would be when using the MU5 keyboard to input notes to a sequencer. If the sequencer is also set up to play back data using the Voices of the MU5, when you play the MU5, it will be sounding its own voices twice once from the keyboard, and after a very brief delay, again from the MIDI data coming from the sequencer. This not only decreases the available polyphony of the MU5 by half, but also creates an undesirable flanging sound. To remedy the problem, set Local Control to Off.

Troubleshooting
Even though the MU5 is exceptionally easy to use, it may occasionally not function as you expect it to. If that happens, check the possible problems and solutions below before assuming that the instrument is faulty.
Problem Possible Cause and Solution
No power.
No sound.
If you are using an AC adaptor, check that the adaptor is properly plugged into both the AC outlet and the MU5. (See page 14.)
If you are using batteries, check that a fresh set of batteries are properly installed in the battery compartment. (See page 15.)
Check that the side panel volume control is set to an appropriate level. (See page 10.)
Check that other volume-related parameters are set to appropriate levels. (See Velocity, page 34, and Volume, page 39.)
Check that the Parts being played are properly turned on. (See page 26.)
Check the Mute and Solo settings. (See page
29.) If a Part is being muted, or an empty Part is being soloed, you may not get any sound.
43
Page 48
Problem Possible Cause and Solution
No sound when playing the keyboard on the MU5.
No sound when playing the MU5 from a computer, sequencer or external keyboard.
Notes are cut off or omitted.
When using a sequencer or computer, an unusual flanging sound occurs and/or not all notes seem to sound.
Check that Local Control is set to on. (See page
35.) Also check the points for No Sound above.
Check all MIDI connections, making sure that the MIDI OUT of the external device is con­nected to the MIDI IN of the MU5, and that the MIDI IN of the external device is connected to the MIDI OUT of the MU5. (See page 20.) Or, if you are using the TO HOST terminal with a computer, make sure that the terminal is prop­erly connected to the computer and that the HOST SELECT switch is properly set for your particular computer. (See page 17.)
The maximum polyphony of the MU5 may be exceeded. The MU5 can play no more than 28 notes at once.
Check that Local Control is set to off. (See page 35.) Also check the settings on your sequencer or computer (such as MIDI Echo or Echo Back).
Even though Local control function is set to off, the MU5 continues to sound when playing the built-in keyboard.
44
This is nomal when routing the MU5 to a sequencer (or computer) and the sequencer’s MIDI Echo or Echo Back is set to on.

3.2.5.4 Omni Off
Omni Off is executed. (Rest is the same as in “All Notes Off” above.)
3.2.5.5 Omni On
Since the MU5 has no such function, Omni On is not executed. (Rest is the same as in “All Notes Off” above.)
3.2.5.6 Mono

The sending device must send a separate header (address setting) for each individual parameter. For example, System parameters and Multi Part parameters are not continuous, and so they must be separated, with each header added individually. The following parameters must be separated into individual packets:
• System
• Multi Part
• Reset All Parameters
After adding the Start Address, Data and Checksum, the checksum’s first 7 bit values will be 0.
If the received data is outside the “legal” range (i.e., higher or lower than the maximum and minimum set values at each address), the MU5 changes the value to the nearest maximum or minimum setting.
4.4.1 System Data Parameter Change
Refer to charts 1-1 and 1-2 on pages add-21 and add-22.
4.4.2 Multi Part Data Parameter Change
Refer to charts 1-1 and 1-3 on pages add-21 and add-22.
4.4.3 System Information
Upon reception of a Dump Request, the MU5 transmits the relevant data, but ignores all other incoming messages during transmission.
Refer to charts 1-1 and 1-4 on pages add-21 and add-23.

This is used to reset all System parameters to their factory-set initial values. Since one of these messages takes about 120 msec to process, allow a sufficient amount of time before transmitting the next message.
4.5 TG100 Native Parameter Change
The MU5 receives and responds to the following TG100 parameter changes:
• System parameters MASTER TUNE TRANSPOSE DEVICE NUMBER MASTER VOLUME
• Multi Part parameters VOICE BANK PC VALUE RX.CHANNEL MONO/POLY MODE DETUNE NOTE SHIFT VOLUME VELOCITY SENSE PANPOT (Not received for Voice #8) NOTE LIMIT LOW NOTE LIMIT HIGH LFO SPEED LFO DEPTH LFO DELAY (Negative values are ignored.) EG. ATTACK RATE EG. RELEASE RATE PITCH BEND RANGE MOD LFO PITCH DEPTH CHANNEL AFTER TOUCH PITCH CONTROL
If only Master Tune is received, the MU5 does not confirm with checksum. The MU5 does not respond to the following parameters:
• System parameters EXCLUSIVE RECEIVE SWITCH PROGRAM CHANGE RECEIVE SWITCH CONTROL CHANGE, VOLUME, EXPRESSION SOUND MODULE MODE

4.6 Dump request
The MU5 responds to dump requests for the following types of data:
• MU5 Native data
1) System data
2) Multi Part data
3) System Information
• TG100 Native data
1) System data
2) Multi Part data
3) Multi Common Parameter
4) Drum Setup Parameter
5) Voice Memory
6) Program Change Table
7) System Information
The MU5 cannot transmit a dump request. Dump requests to the MU5 should follow format given below.
11110000 F0 = Exclusive status 01000011 43 = YAMAHA ID 0011nnnn 3n = Device number 00101011 44 = MU5 Model ID 0aaaaaaa aaaaaaa = Start address 1st byte 0aaaaaaa aaaaaaa = Start address 2nd byte 0aaaaaaa aaaaaaa = Start address 3rd byte 0sssssss sssssss = Byte count bit 20 – bit 14 0sssssss sssssss = Byte count bit 13 – bit 7 0sssssss sssssss = Byte count bit 6 – bit 0 0ccccccc ccccccc = Checksum 11110111 F7 = End of exclusive
When the receive address of the dump request corresponds to the start address and the received dump request byte count is correct, the data is transmitted. (Refer to the tables at the end of this section for more information about the start address and byte count.)
The MU5 cannot send amounts of data greater than 513 bytes at a time. If a dump request exceeding 513 bytes is received, the MU5 breaks up the data into packets of 512 bytes or less and pauses for 120 msec or more before transmitting each packet.
After adding the Start Address, Byte Count and Checksum, the checksum’s first 7 bit values will be 0.

The device making the dump request must include the corresponding parameter header for each data type (listed below). For example, if only one dump request header is used to request both System and Multi Part data, the MU5 will transmit only the System data.
• System
• Multi Part
• Reset All Parameters
• System Information
4.6.1 System Data Parameter Change
Refer to charts 1-1 and 1-2 on pages add-21 and add-22.
4.6.2 Multi Part Data Parameter Change
Refer to charts 1-1 and 1-3 on pages add-21 and add-22.
4.6.3 System Information Parameter Change
When a dump request is received, data can be transmitted but not received. Refer to charts 1-1 and 1-4 on pages add-21 and add-23.
4.7 Yamaha TG100 Dump Request
The MU5 responds to portions of a dump request from the TG100. If the parameter ranges of both devices are the same, the data transmitted and received remains in its original state. If both devices have the same function yet their parameter ranges are different, the MU5 reformats the data before transmitting it.
