The Yamaha MU1000 and Yamaha MU2000 are Yamaha XG and General MIDI sound modules in the Yamaha MU series introduced by Yamaha in 1999. Unlike previous modules in the series, these were released only in Japan, so there is no official English documentation.
The MU1000 and MU2000 improve upon the MU128 by adding USB, optical digital audio output,[3] more presets (especially drumkits), doubling the number of insert effect units, and greatly increasing the number of effect types. The MU2000 also adds a SmartMedia card slot and sampling functions, which are not present in the MU1000.[3][4]
A software upgrade was released which give the devices 'EX' or expanded status, as reflected on the LCD when the device starts up. Maybe most significantly, official Roland GS support was added, replacing the TG300B mode (which was Yamaha's unofficial GS support) it also adds 19 new insert effects and new A/D input presets. Additionally, more digital audio output controls were introduced, allowing for the A/D input to pass directly to the optical output, with a mix mode for the digital output. A three-stage gain setting was added for the digital output (0, +6, +12) and received MIDI parameters were added and modified to allow for control of the expanded digital mixing options.
Later models which released with the upgrade have GS branding printed in the previously empty space below 'Plug for XG'.'GS' also supplanted the TG300B text at the bottom right of the display, below 'XG'. (TODO: Does the GS rebrand change anything? It has been said online that the difference was dramatic, with samples being changed to achieve this, need to confirm that.)
The MU2000 is the most powerful model in the MU series. The subsequent MU500 has less features, but is more compact.
