1523 high-quality Voices
, full
General MIDI compatibility

XG-MIDI (Extended General MIDI)
— plus flexible
computer interfacing
in a compact, easy-to-use rack mount unit.
Included in the 1523 Voices are 256 extraordinarily realistic and expres-
sive VL Voices — provided by a separate, yet integrated Virtual Acoustic
Synthesis tone generator.
With the convenient built-in
host computer interface
and
MIDI termi-
nals

nection to a simple laptop to integration in a complete MIDI studio.
With
its large LCD and the intuitive graphic controls on the display, the
MU100R is remarkably easy to use.
The MU100R also features
completely independent dual MIDI inputs,
32 Part multi-timbral capacity
and full
64-note polyphony
for playback
of even the most sophisticated song data.
A special
Performance mode

tions (one per-part, and one overall), which give you enormous versatility
in “sweetening” the sound.
What’s more, the MU100R provides a host of
comprehensive, yet easy-to-use
editing tools
for getting just the sound you
need.
The MU100R also has convenient

microphone, electric guitar or other instrument, and mix those signals with
the MU100R’s Voices.
A separate Hamony effect section lets you auto-
matically apply two-, three- or four-part harmonies to your A/D input vo-
cals, and have them change as you play different chords on a connected
MIDI keyboard.
