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 that adds official Roland GS support, replacing the TG300B mode (which was Yamaha's unofficial GS support). (TODO: What else did this upgrade change? Does the GS rebrand change anything?)
The MU2000 is the most powerful model in the MU series. The subsequent MU500 has less features, but is more compact.
