KENTON PLUGSTATION USERS MANUAL

expander when used with the SW1000XG. If PLG cards are found, the display will then attempt to auto
detect any optional boards that may be fitted, such as the Y-BOARD, or Z-BOARD. The letters
corresponding to each board that is fitted or connected will flash on screen whilst this process is taking
place. Once the boot sequence is complete then you can begin to start to use PLUGSTATION.
To explain what is happening during the boot sequence, we will now take you through the procedure on start
up. PLUGSTATION is in effect “an empty box” until you add either Yamaha PLG cards, or any of the
optional boards. When you have done this, it needs to know what it has inside, so it runs a check routine to
find out what you have fitted to it. Part of this routine is to detect the wordclock source for the system (see
notes later on wordclock, and why it is important).
If PLUGSTATION boots up, and is running stand-alone then the word clock will be INTERNAL. The first
letter that will flash will be I (if the clock is external, i.e. it is connected to the SW1000XG, the first letter will
be E). Once it has established this, it will then scan for any fitted boards. Then if you have the Y board fitted,
character 3 in the LED display, will show a Y, and if the Z-Board is fitted a Z (looks like a 2) will flash up. If
neither board is fitted or is fitted incorrectly, then nothing will show up in LED segments 3 and 4 on start.
NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE KENTON X-BOARD INSIDE PLUGSTATION...OBVIOUSLY
NOW LETS TAKE A TOUR OF THE DISPLAY.
The main
LABELS
at the top of the 4-segment LED indicate which level of editing you are working with,
these are as follows.
STATUS
: This is the MIDI data monitoring section and main status area for Plugstation. If the small LED
DOT (this dot indicates which level of editing you are at) in the LED display is underneath this menu, then
you are in the STATUS indicator section. The STATUS indicator section will display which card slots
currently have PLG cards inserted in them (shown by lines highlighted at the bottom of each of the 4
segments parallel to where the text says
CARD ACTIVE
).
A line in segment one indicates that a card is
present in slot one, likewise for slots 2,3 and 4. If no line indication is present, then either no card is
installed, or the cards you have installed may not be fitted correctly. Please refer to the installation section of
this guide for how to install PLG cards correctly.
A correct display for cards in slots 1,3 and 4 for example would appear as in diagram 2.
DIAGRAM 2: CARD SLOT ACTIVITY MONITOR
The MIDI receive text line indicates whether or not a specific PLG card assigned to a specific MIDI channel
is receiving MIDI data of any form. If the PLUGSTATION is receiving data over MIDI either from the
SW1000XG D-SUB connector
or from the
MIDI IN
port located on the rear of the PLUGSTATION, then the
display will light up the central segment of the appropriate board. For example, if a PLG card in slot 1 were
receiving MIDI data on the MIDI channel to which it is assigned (by default this will be channel 1), the display
would appear as in diagram 3.
