The Yamaha MU50 is a Yamaha XG and General MIDI sound module in the Yamaha MU series introduced by Yamaha in 1995.[2] According to Yamaha, this model is "regarded as the standard of XG tone generators";[2] it seems to set the baseline for XG support. It is a cost-reduced version of the Yamaha MU80 from the preceding year, with half as many parts and polyphony, no A/D parts (only unprocessed audio passthrough), no dedicated distortion effect unit, and less presets.

The Yamaha MU90 is the successor to the MU80 and the MU50.[3]
