KENTON PLUGSTATION USERS MANUAL

NOTE: SETTING UP PARAMETERS SUCH AS POLY OVERFLOW MODE FOR THE VL CARD CAN

ONLY BE DONE FROM SOFTWARE SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE COMMANDS. FUTURE SOFTWARE

EDITORS FOR PLUGSTATION AND PLG CARDS MAY SUPPORT THIS FEATURE. THE PLG150AN

CARD SUPPORTS A DIFFERENT METHOD OF VOICE MORPHING TO THE AN1X SYNTHESIZER, AND

AS SUCH TWO PLG150AN CARDS CANNOT BE SET UP TO MORPH BETWEEN EACH OTHER USING

PLUGSTATION OR INDEED ANY YAMAHA PLG HOSTING DEVICE.

P_ID – PLG CARD ID.

This parameter sets each board to a SYSEX (system exclusive data) slot number.

This feature is actually not possible with the PLG cards from Yamaha as such, and the way in which this is

implemented is unique to PLUGSTATION. If more than one board of the same type is inserted (for example

2 PLG150AN cards to create a bi-timbral setup), then (with appropriate software), the 2 cards can be

uniquely addressed. This is achieved by redirecting incoming sysex for the second card (which may be

identical in terms of byte type to the first) to the second slot only. This allows for complex editing of 2 boards

of the same type, which would otherwise be impossible for all except the PART specific parameters defined

in the PLG SYSEX spec. This parameter should only be adjusted from its default if you are trying to run

multiple instances of the same PLG card on the PLUGSTATION, and wish to send individual parameter data

to each board.

The data value range is 0-4

. The default values correspond to the default values of each

PLG card. As we mention, specific software, which understands this parameter, is required to make full use

of it.

CCNO – CONTROLLER NUMBER.

This parameter sends controller number assignment data to each of the

PLG cards allowing limited editing of various parameters such as filter cutoff, resonance and AMP EG levels

for each card without the need for computer software. This is most useful for simple and quick edits in a live

or stage environment if you are using PLUGSTATION as a modular synth hosting tone module. The default

value for this is 74, corresponding to controller 74, which in the case of Yamaha XG and PLG devices is the

filter cutoff parameter. Please refer to the appendix relating to USEFUL CONTROLLER NUMBERS, which

lists some of the more commonly used controllers with Yamaha devices. This parameter again may be

overridden by data sent from the MIDI in port on PLUGSTATION or from controlling software over the 44-

WAY D-SUB connector. To avoid confusion with the volume levels, controller 7 in this menu is disabled from

the front panel, thus you cannot adjust volume level using this controller number from the front panel menu,

1 2 ... 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 ... 87 88
