Tone Generator Owner's Manual

MU128 Guided Tour 33
English
• Hardware sequencer
In this setup, a hardware sequencer (such as the Yamaha QY700) is used.
The main advantage of such a setup is its portability.
• MIDI data storage device
This setup is used for backing up your important data — including original
Performances you’ve created, as well as settings you’ve changed in the Part
Edit, Effect, EQ, or Utility modes.
In this example, a Yamaha MDF3 MIDI Data Filer is used. To back up
data, connect the MIDI IN of the MDF3 to the MIDI OUT of the MU128. To
restore the data to the MU128, connect the MIDI OUT of the MDF3 to the
MIDI IN-A of the MU128. Refer to the owner’s manual of the MDF3 (or
your particular data storage device) for specific operating instructions in
receiving or sending data.
With the MDF3, you can also play compatible song data on the MU128
directly from the MDF3 itself, without the need of a sequencer. In this case,
the MIDI OUT of the MDF3 should be connected to the MIDI IN-A of the
MU128.
