plorations.
Using With MIDI Keyboard
Use the MU80 as supplementary tone generator with your MIDI keyboard
and play the Voices of both instruments in a layer together. Or, use the con-
venient Performance mode, and play four Voices on the MU80 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 keyboard. Or use
keyboard and velocity splits together for even greater flexibility.
