KENTON PLUGSTATION USERS MANUAL

In other respects the control is similar to the stand-alone mode control in option 1 (apart from the individual

outputs on the PLUGSTATION). In this case, the SW1000XG audio outputs are also (as they would if just

one PLG card was fitted) outputting the PLG cards mixed by PLUGSTATION. The only other point of note is

that control of the PLG cards (in terms of MIDI program changes and parameter changes) can be done

either via the D-SUB connector or from the MIDI IN port.

NOTE: OPERATING SYSTEM UPDATES TO PLUGSTATION, WHICH ARE IN THE FORM OF A MIDI

FILE, SHOULD ONLY BE SENT TO THE MIDI IN ON PLUGSTATION NOT FROM THE D-SUB

CONNECTOR. YOUR SOFTWARE SHOULD BE SET TO TRANSMIT THE OS MIDI FILE OVER THE

SW1000 MIDI OUT (OR ANY OTHER MIDI OUT INTERFACE PORT ON YOUR COMPUTER) AND THE

PORT CONNECTED TO THE MIDI IN ON PLUGSTATION. PLEASE SEE THE SECTION ON OS

UPDATING IN THE TROUBLESHOOTING PART OF THIS MANUAL.

Here we can see the SW1000XG audio outputs (SPDIF and/or analogue) being fed to a suitable mixer or

power amplifier. The SW1000XG is fitted with the KENTON X-BOARD, which is in turn connected via the D-

SUB output to PLUGSTATION, and feeding data in both directions. MIDI information being passed to the

PLG cards fitted in PLUGSTATION, and audio information coming back from the cards through the D-SUB

connector, through the PLG connector on SW1000XG, via the onboard DSP of SW1000XG, and then on to

the analogue or digital out on the SW1000XG.

In the case of fitting the PLG100VH card to slot 1 of the PLUGSTATION, then treat this in exactly the same

way, but also include audio data being sent from the PLG socket on the SW1000XG (as an insert effect

path) to the VH card fitted to PLUGSTATION, and then back to the SW1000XG. It should be noted that the

VH card unless correctly initialised can sometimes stop any cards in slots 2,3 and 4 from sending audio data

over the D-SUB connector, so make sure that the PLUGSTATION is setup and powered on correctly. This is

more critical for PLG100VH than any other card.

Option 3:

Connected to SW1000XG with X-BOARD (and Y BOARD but no Z Board)

A far more flexible system in that you now get the individual outputs as well as the SW1000XG return

channels (the feed back over the D-SUB connector back to the SW1000XG is known as the SW1000XG

return channel). This means that any board can be routed back through the SW1000XG should you wish to

use the SW1000XG effects (this can be more than one board, but as we have previously discussed, this will

result in the same effects being applied to each board). The bonus here is that you can route either way.

The SW1000XG return path via the D-SUB connector is still an option for any or all boards, but you can also
