The Yamaha MU15 is a portable Yamaha XG and General MIDI sound module introduced by Yamaha in 1998,[2] and the last portable module in the Yamaha MU series. Like its predecessor the Yamaha MU5,[2] the MU15 features a similar form-factor and micro-keys (for note input) to the Yamaha QY series, but without any sequencing functions. It was designed with computer use in mind, and has a TO HOST port for connecting to a computer via serial, like the rest of the MU series.
The tone generator feature set is very similar to the Yamaha MU50 (32 polyphony, 480 XG voices, 11 XG drumkits, 3 effect units). However, the MU15 manual makes no mention of a C/M mode or Disk Orchestra Collection mode, so it presumably lacks these features.
