PLG150-PF Professional Piano Board
The PLG150-PF is a single part plug-in
board. It contains 136 preset Voices and is a part
of the Modular Synthesis Plug-in System. The
board has 16 megabytes of new sampled data
and offers the highest quality Voices available.
The samples here were specifically selected and
painstakingly matched to work in these Voices.
(Please make sure you have loaded the special
Voice data into memory when you are
auditioning this board).
PLG150 series boards can be used in Modular
Synthesis Plug-in System products like the
S30/S80 and CS6 synthesizers and can also be
used in certain XG system products like the
SW1000XG/p and the MU128 and above series of
tone modules. When referring to the manual
always look for the type of product being
described. If you have an S30/S80/CS6 only
refer to sections on the Modular Synthesis
system.
Included with your S/CS synthesizer was a CD-
ROM with XGworks Lite v3.0 Music Sequencing
Software. A special software plug-in module for
XGworks, called “PF EASY EDITOR”, is included
on the diskette that comes with the PLG150-PF.
It can be used to customize some of the PF
settings (actually offsets to the stored data).
Edits made with the PF Easy Editor can be stored
separately or inserted into song data to automate
sound changes.
Checking Installation
Check to make sure your board or boards are
properly installed. Here’s how:
• On the host: Press [UTILITY]
• Use the MENU feature ([SHIFT]+PAGE) or
the PAGE knob to navigate to the PLG Status
screen:
vPLG Status> PLG1:PLG150-AN Expand
Plugin PLG2:PLG150-PF 4----
Figure 1: Your screen may differ according to what
boards you have plugged into which slots. The
“Expand” parameter will be active only when you have
2 boards of the same type installed and polyphony
expansion is possible. A second PLG150-PF will give
you a maximum of 128 notes of PF polyphony in
Expand poly mode. Because the System is modular,
this polyphony does not take away from the 64-note
polyphony of the mothership host (S30 / S80 / CS6x /
CS6R).
Banks of sounds
Each PLG150 series board comes with special
“Plug-In Voice” data – these files are typically
.mid files that bulk in 64 factory Voices. Load the
Plug-in Voices that come with the PLG150-PF. On
the diskette find the appropriate file:
“01PlgV1.mid” or “01PlgV2.mid” depending on
whether your board is in slot 1 or slot 2. Playing
this file to the S30/80-CS6 synth will bulk the
Plug-In Voice data to the 64 PLG locations
associated with the board. They are listed in the
PLG150-PF Owner’s Manual on page 29. You can
back up these files to a SmartMedia card once
you have loaded them. If you receive the TYPE
MISMATCH error message you have played the
wrong numbered file for this PLG. A type
mismatch means the Voice data did not find the
appropriate board in the slot. The PLG150-PF
must be in the unit to be addressed by the
voicing parameters. You cannot use the Voices
separate from the PLG board. The first sound
should be: (A01):001[StrchGndPf ] and
should have a Reverb Send on KN 1 (knob 1). If
you have another name or there is no Reverb
send on KN1, please load the proper file to your
synth.
What is a Plug-in Voice and what is a Board
Voice?
The Plug-in Voices are found from the front
panel of the host S/CS synth under the [PLG1]
and [PLG2] buttons, when you have a PLG board
properly installed. The host can store 64 Plug-in
Voices per board (A01-D16). The PLG150-PF
comes with a disk file that will load 64 Plug-In
Voices to your synth. They integrate the Voice
with the mothership’s controllers and effects but
call on sample data resident on the board, called
the Board Voices. Instead of using ROM
samples from the host, the PLG Voices point to
completed multi-element samples that are
