    Why are notes cut off on my Yamaha Recording Equipment MU100R?
    • L
      lsimmonsJul 29, 2025
      If you are experiencing cut off or omitted notes while playing your Yamaha Recording Equipment MU100R, it might be because the maximum polyphony is exceeded. The MU100R can only play a maximum of 64 notes simultaneously. If you are playing a connected keyboard along with densely arranged song data, you might exceed this limit.

    What to do if there is no sound when playing Yamaha Recording Equipment MU100R from a computer?
    • A
      Alyssa WeeksAug 2, 2025
      If you are not getting any sound when playing the Yamaha Recording Equipment MU100R from a computer, sequencer, or external keyboard, verify all MIDI connections. Ensure that the MIDI OUT of the external device is connected to the MIDI IN of the MU100R, and vice versa. If using the TO HOST terminal with a computer, ensure it's properly connected and the HOST SELECT switch is correctly set for your computer. Also, ensure that you turn on the connected MIDI instrument or computer before turning on the MU100R. If you haven’t, simply turning the MU100R off and back on again may solve the problem.

      If you're not hearing the A/D input sound (mic, guitar, etc.) on your Yamaha Recording Equipment MU100R, ensure the appropriate A/D Part (A1 or A2) is turned on and the A/D INPUT control is set to an appropriate level. For best results, set the A/D input type (Mic, Guitar, Keyboard, Audio) to match the input you are using.

      Roger AcevedoAug 15, 2025
      If you are not hearing Reverb, Chorus, and/or Variation effects on your Yamaha Recording Equipment MU100R, check all Reverb-, Chorus- and Variation-related controls, including Reverb Send, Chorus Send, and Variation Send in Single Part controls, and Reverb Return, Chorus Return, and Variation Return (when Variation Connection is set to SYS) in All Part controls. Also, check the individual effect settings; if no Type has been selected, or if the parameter settings are too low, there may be no effect sound.

      Check the following points: * The VL Voices and Harmony effect can only be used in the XG or Performance modes. * The VL Voice must be assigned to a Part in the Part Assign parameter, and the Harmony effect must be assigned to a Part in the Insert Part parameter. * The VL Voices can only be used with Parts 1 – 16. * When using MIDI, the VL Voices and Harmony effect can only be controlled via the MIDI-A terminal. When using TO HOST, they can only be controlled via MIDI port 1. * The VL Voices and Harmony effect can be used in the Performance mode; however, the Store operation saves only edits made from the panel controls, and not any of the “hidden” parameters accessible via MIDI. * When controlling certain VL Voice and Harmony effect parameters via MIDI, the value or setting d...
