Play Mode

The Play mode is the default mode of the MU15 and is automatically set when
the power is turned on.  The Play mode allows you to play the Voices, either
from the MU15’s keyboard or from a MIDI device.  Depending on data received
via MIDI, the MU15 operates in one of two Sound Module modes: XG or
TG300B.  (XG is the default.)

The Play mode also lets you select Voices, Banks, and Parts, and change the
octave setting of the keyboard.  If the Edit mode is selected, you can return to
the Play mode by pressing the PLAY/EDIT button.

For general instructions and details on various Play mode operations, refer to
the Guided Tour section.

Sound Module Mode

The MU15 plays Voices in one of two Sound Module modes: XG or TG300B.

The Sound Module mode is one of the “hidden” parameters of the MU15 and
can be changed only by incoming MIDI data.  Normally this data is recorded at
the start of commercially available sequenced songs.  If the song data is XG-
compatible, the XG mode will be selected, letting you take advantage of the
MU15’s full performance power.  If the song data is GM-compatible but
intended for another manufacturer’s tone generator, the TG300B mode will be
selected, enabling optimum playback of the song data.

You can change this setting yourself by the use of MIDI System Exclusive
messages (page 91), either as part of sequenced song data, or received from a
device that allows you to send user-specified System Exclusive data.

NOTE
•

The last selected Sound Module mode is automatically enabled when the power is
turned on.  However, if both the batteries and AC adaptor are removed (or if the
PLAY/EDIT button is pressed), the XG mode is automatically enabled.

When the TG300B mode is selected, the following display appears:
