Introduction

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Yamaha PLG100-VH Vocal Harmony Plug-in Board!

The PLG100-VH is designed for use with the MU128 Tone Generator (as well as other MU-series

instruments and the SW1000XG PCI Audio/MIDI Card), providing automatic and authentic sounding

vocal harmony effects. It takes the sound of your voice (via a microphone and one of the A/D inputs)

and reproduces it as a harmony vocal — providing up to four-part harmonies, including your original

voice. The actual harmony notes can be controlled from a MIDI keyboard or sequencer, allowing you

to perfectly match the harmony to chord changes.

The settings and parameters of the PLG100-VH can also be conveniently edited with a Windows PC

computer by using the VH Effect Editor software module (included in the XGworks Music Sequencer

software).

About XG Plug-in System

With Yamaha XG Plug-in System you can expand your tone generation system by simply mounting

an optional board onto the “mother” tone generator/sound card. For example, you will be able to use

extra voices from a different sound synthesis such as Virtual Acoustic Synthesis, apply completely

new dimensional facet of effects to your music and/or add the latest technology to your music.

About VH-XG

This XG Plug-in Board produces automatic harmony effects for vocals (via a microphone and the A/

D inputs). It features four harmony effect types, and allows you to control the harmony notes by

playing notes or chords on a MIDI keyboard. It also allows you to control the harmony automati-

cally by note or chord data recorded to a sequencer. Other features include a gender changer for

changing the input voice between male and female, and detuning for a natural chorus effect.
