HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
vii
How to Use This Manual
You are probably eager to try out your new MU90R Tone Generator right
away and hear what it can do, rather than have to read through a lot of in-
structions before you can even get a sound out of it.
However, to get the most out of your MU90R, we strongly suggest that
you read the following sections in the order given:
1) Precautions
This gives you important information on how to care for your new
MU90R, how to avoid damaging, and how to ensure long-term, reli-
able operation.
2) The Controls of the MU90R
This section introduces you to the panel controls and connectors.
3) The MU90R What It Is and What It Can Do
This briefly provides an overview of the functions and features of the
MU90R and offers some important hints on how you can use it effec-
tively.
4) Guided Tour
This very important section gets you started using your new MU90R. It
helps you set up the instrument, play it, and use some of the more im-
portant functions and features. The hands-on experience you gain in
this section will help you navigate through the other sections of the
manual.
5) Setting Up the MU90R in Your Music System;
Using the MU90R with a Computer
These sections (within the Guided Tour) provide all you need to know
to effectively integrate the MU90R into your present computer music
system.
6) Reference
Once you’re familiar with everything above, lightly go over this com-
prehensive guide to all editing functions. You won’t need (or want) to
read everything at once, but it is there for you to refer to when you need
information about a certain feature or function.
7) Appendix
Finally, use the sections in the Appendix as necessary. For example, the
Index will come in handy when you need to quickly find information
on a specific topic. Other sections, such as the Glossary, Trouble-
shooting and Error Messages provide additional useful information.
viii
Use only the stand/rack specified for the instrument. When attaching the
stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or
uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss.
If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a
physician.
REPLACING THE BACKUP BATTERY
This instrument contains a non rechargeable internal backup battery which
permits internal data to remain stored even when the power is off. When
the backup battery needs replacing, the message Battery Low! will display
in the display. When this happens, immediately back up your data (using
an external device such as the floppy disk-based Yamaha MIDI Data Filer
MDF2), then have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup
battery.
•Do not attempt to replace the backup battery yourself, in order to prevent
the possible serious hazards. Always have qualified Yamaha service
personnel replace the backup battery.
Never place the backup battery in a location that a child can reach, since
a child might accidentally swallow the battery. If this should happen,
consult a physician immediately.
SAVING USER DATA
Save all data to an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer
MDF2, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a
malfunction or user operating error.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper
use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable
parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately
and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill
into any openings.
If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a
sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual
smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off
the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have
the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

THE MU90R — WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT CAN DO
The MU90R — What It Is and What It Can Do
What It Is…
The MU90R is a fulll-featured and easy-to-use tone generator. It features
full General MIDI Level 1 compatibility with 128 General MIDI Voices
and 9 drum kits. It also provides new XG-MIDI (Extended General MIDI)
compatibility, with a total of 586 Voices and 20 drum kits. The MU90R has
64-note polyphony and is 32-Part multi-timbral. In other words, the
MU90R has 32 different Parts, each with its own Voice, so that up to 32
different Voices can be sounded simultaneously. Since the MU90R features
dual MIDI input ports (A and B), 16 Parts can be played from one MIDI
port and the remaining 16 from the other port.
The MU90R also has a TO HOST terminal for easy interfacing with a
computer, allowing you to play the Voices using your favorite music soft-
ware. This is where the advanced multi-timbral capabilities come in, let-
ting you playing sophisticated arrangements using up to 32 different Voices
at the same time.
The MU90R also features a special Performance mode, in which four
Parts are played simultaneously over a single MIDI channel. Connected to a
MIDI keyboard, this effectively gives you four tone generators in one. The
MU90R gives you 100 factory-programmed Preset Performances plus 100
Internal Performance locations for your own original Performances.
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 MU90R’s MIDI IN terminal, you could play back a song on the
sequencer using the Voices of the MU90R.
So, where does General MIDI fit in all of this? One of the most impor-
tant 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 com-
poser 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 MU90R is fully compatible with
General MIDI, you can take advantage of the vast wealth of musical mate-
rial recorded in that format.
THE MU90R — WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT CAN DO
5
What It Can Do…
Here are a few ideas on how you can use the MU90R. 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 ex-
plorations.
Using With MIDI Keyboard
Use the MU90R as supplementary tone generator with your MIDI key-
board and play the Voices of both instruments in a layer together. Or, use
the convenient Performance mode, and play four Voices on the MU90R at
once. You can split the four Voices across the keyboard, playing each from
a different register. Or you can create sophisticated velocity splits, in which
a different Voice is heard depending on how strongly you play the key-
board. Or use keyboard and velocity splits together for even greater flex-
ibility.
Using With a Computer or Sequencer
Home Studio Setup
The MU90R integrates instantly and easily into any existing setup. If you
have a MIDI keyboard, computer and sequencing software, the MU90R
with its high-quality Voices and multi-timbral capabilities can expand your
home studio system.
Take It With You
If you have a laptop computer (and sequencing software), simply connect
the MU90R, plug in some headphones and you’ve got a complete, high-
powered music making system that’s exceptionally easy to use. Use it for
composing, arranging, practicing or making/playing demos for your band.
Multimedia
Since it’s compatible with General MIDI, the MU90R is a natural for multi-
media applications. Since the computer interface is built-in to the MU90R,
it hooks up instantly and easily to the computers serial port or printer port,
without the need for any other equipment.

THE MU90R — WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT CAN DO
About the Modes of the MU90R
The MU90R has two main operating modes: Multi and Performance. In
Multi mode, the MU90R is a 32-Part multi-timbral tone generator; in Per-
formance mode, the MU90R effectively functions as four tone generators
controlled over a single MIDI channel.
Which mode the MU90R is in depends on the selected Sound Module
mode. If XG, TG300B or C/M are selected, the MU90R automatically sets
itself to the Multi mode. When PFM is selected, the MU90R is in the Per-
formance mode.
The bottom right of the display indicates the currently selected Sound Mod-
ule mode.
Selected Sound Module mode.
Play Modes and the Part Controls
Once the operating mode of the MU90R is set (Multi or Performance),
there are two main ways you can use the MU90R: playing and editing. In
the Play modes, you play the Voices; in the various Edit modes, you change
their settings.
Within the Play modes are the Part controls. These let you make basic set-
tings for the Parts. The Single Part controls allow you to make independent
settings for each Part, while the All Part controls allow you to change the over-
all settings of all Parts. (See pages 41 and 46 for more information.)

spective sections in the Reference section.
Utility Mode
The Utility mode lets you set functions related to the overall operation of
the MU90R, such as Master Tune, display Contrast and reception of cer-
tain MIDI messages that affect the entire instrument. Included also are mis-
cellaneous operations, such as sending bulk data to a data storage device,
initializing of the MU90R settings, and playing the special Demo song.
Part Edit Mode
The Part Edit mode allows you to change certain settings for each indi-
vidual Part, such as those of the Filter, EG (Envelope Generator), and many
other settings. The internal Voices can be sounded during editing, allowing
you to hear the effects of your edits.
