Yamaha MU15 Demo Jam - (All sound is MU15, No Talking)

video upload by ChrisLody

"Recently a good friend and YouTuber ‪@clajmo‬ (Clarke Jaxton Motorbike) was nice enough to send me his Yamaha MU15 to play with. This jam is a result of playing around in Yamaha XGWorks to tweak the XG sound banks hidden parameters, then sequencing it all with the Sonicware Smpltrek.

I'll planning a nerdy deep dive on the MU15 because it very impressive for the era and it size. No external effects or even EQ were used on this video. All the sound is directly from the MU15 with only a little limiting used to get it up to sensible YouTube volume levels.

The MU15 is an 'XG' sound module which is an advanced extension of the 'GM' (general midi) standard. It has a huge amount of parameter inside to tweak, like per drum effects send, filter and envelope setting for example, so a lot can be achieved with it.

Btw I'm testing out some images in my jam video thumbnails to try to distinguish them from tutorials, still playing with the style etc at the mo."
