The Yamaha MU100 and Yamaha MU100R are Yamaha XG and General MIDI sound modules in the Yamaha MU series introduced by Yamaha in 1997.

The MU100 and MU100R improve upon the preceding MU90 and MU90R by almost doubling the number of preset normal XG instruments, and adding a further 16 drumkits, more effect types, and per-part EQ (complementing the existing global EQ). They also introduce the XG Plug-in System of optional expansion boards, which can add additional types of synthesis or effects to the synth.

As with their immediate predecessors, the MU100 is a half-width desktop module, whereas the MU100R is a full-width rack-mount version. There are three main additions in the MU100R versus the MU100:

  • The MU100R has additional audio outputs that parts can be individually routed to.
  • The MU100R has two plug-in board connectors (so two plug-in boards can be installed), whereas the MU100 only has one.
  • The MU100R in its factory configuration has the PLG100-VH (vocal harmony effect) and PLG100-VL (virtual analog synthesis) plug-in boards pre-installed, unlike the MU100. Although the manual documents these as if they are an integral part of the unit, these boards can be removed or replaced with other plug-ins,[7] so it is unfortunately not certain that a MU100R bought used will still have these.
