KENTON PLUGSTATION USERS MANUAL

Use with the SW1000XG

Using PLUGSTATION with the SW1000XG offers unprecedented possibilities and routing configurations,

and also offers unparalleled audio quality for the SW1000XG card when used with the Z board. This section

of the manual will cover some of the possibilities.

At the time of writing the first edition of the PLUGSTATION manual, specific software support for

PLUGSTATION (www.xgpad.com) was under development. Please check back to the KENTON website and

also the Yamaha XGFACTORY.COM website for news on the software support for PLUGSTATION.

PLUGSTATION offers a wide range of possibilities for use with SW1000XG, these can be summarised as

follows

It can be used with the SW1000XG without the optional X board just as a stand-alone tone module. For

this, the optional Y-BOARD must be fitted, and in this case just treat the PLUGSTATION with any PLG cards

as you would any other synthesiser tone module. In this case, no MIDI or audio parts from the SW1000XG

onboard synth or mixer can be passed to PLUGSTATION.

NOTE: IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE PLUGSTATION IN THIS WAY, AND THIS WAY ALONE, THEN

THERE IS NO REASON TO INSTALL THE OPTIONAL X-BOARD TO YOUR SW1000XG, AS IT WILL

NOT REALLY GIVE YOU ANY ADVANTAGES. THE X-BOARD IS BEST USED WHEN THE

PLUGSTATION IS ALSO FITTED WITH THE OPTIONAL Z-BOARD. IN THIS CASE, THE X BOARD CAN

PASS MULTICHANNEL AUDIO AND MIDI PARTS FROM THE SW1000XG TO THE PLUGSTATION

INDIVIDUAL OUTPUTS

With the optional Z & Y boards, PLUGSTATION becomes a multichannel 24-bit ADAT, and analogue

output expander for the SW1000XG audio and MIDI parts, alongside all of its existing functionality with

regards to PLG card hosting as a tone module device.

The fitting of the Z board, allows up to 8 discrete SW1000XG audio channels (which can be selected from

any of the SW1000XG’s 12 busses), to be passed via the serial output connector (usually connected to the

DS2416) out to the Y-BOARD optional outputs.

This also applies to SW1000XG synth MIDI data, which with the above combination of boards can also be

sent out to PLUGSTATION via the “thru” serial port on the KENTON X-CARD, and also in parallel be sent to

the DS2416 serial inputs (if a DS2416 card is fitted).

This means that if you have a multi-channel mixer (For example a Yamaha 01V fitted with the MY-ADAT

card), you could send 8 channels of audio to the ADAT port, the same 8 channels to the analogue inputs on

the desk, from the analogue outputs of PLUGSTATION, a 2 channel SPDIF output from the SW1000XG,

and also, any audio being sent to the DS2416 from any optional output expanders that are fitted to it (for

example the AX44)

All of this may be confusing, so we will try here to make it a bit clearer by splitting the PLUGSTATION into its

options when used with SW1000XG.

Option 1

: Just connected to the SW1000XG over MIDI. (No X BOARD and no Z board)

If you have purchased the PLUGSTATION as a stand-alone tone module host, with just the optional Y-

BOARD fitted, and a selection of PLG cards, then you can treat PLUGSTATION in the same way as the

following chapter (Using as a stand alone modular synth hosting system). The connection for this would be

that the MIDI in on the SW1000XG would be connected to your MIDI controller keyboard, and the MIDI OUT

of SW1000XG would be connected to your PLUGSTATION MIDI IN.
