HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

The MU90 Tone Generator is almost identical in function to its partner, the
MU90R. For this reason, the owner’s documentation for the MU90R has
been coupled with this manual to help you to use the MU90 to its maxi­mum potential. When combined with the relevant sections of the MU90R
Owner’s Manual, the following sections will provide you with the easiest
and fastest way to become familiar with the MU90. We strongly suggest
that you read all of these materials thoroughly.

Differences between the MU90R and your MU90

Two of the Output Select parameters of the Multi Edit Mode (“Others”
and “Drum Setup Controls”) as well as the Output Select Lock parameter
of the Utility Mode (System Functions) are exclusive to the MU90R and
are not supported by your MU90. Explanations for these parameters are
found on the following pages of the MU90R OWNER’S MANUAL as
well as the SOUND LIST & MIDI DATA.
