Answer: No, they are distinct and separate tone units. However, you can play a MIDI part

using voices (such as drums) from the TG300B side of the card, record them using the

loopback feature , and then combine them with the XG voices in MIDI.

263 Question: Can the PLG100Vl board save custom voices (full VL edits) and also user voices

(as the VL70m can)?

Answer: Yes, but save the edits as sysex set-ups, as the PLG100DX has no on board non-

volatile RAM to save voices. The Yamaha VVE visual editor is one of the best apps for this.

264 Question: Can the PLG100DX save voices in original DX7 format, and if I have a DX7, can I

then send these voices out over MIDI in to it?

Answer: The parameters are identical, but the sysex has some changes, so check first with

your DX7 software.

265 Question: Can I connect the digital out of the SW1000XG up to the digital input of my A3000

or Akai sampler and sample the sounds from it?

Answer: Yes, again no problem at all. Remember that XG is far more than just a set of

sounds, hence Yamaha tend to laugh out loud when people talk about producing ‘XG sample

sets’ for cards like the AWE32. It just doesn’t have the power, or the filters or the ............

266 Question: Does the audio from the PLG100 series daughter cards come out of the digital or

analog ports?

Answer: Both.

267 Question: The PLG100DX, is it really a full DX7 on a board?

Answer: Yes, down to the nitty gritty details, but it has a much cleaner output. You can also

mix and match the voices from the DX alongside the AWM2 voices to produce an almost SY99

like device.

268 Question: If there is any more info on the card not featured on the Yamaha web site, who

should I contact?

Answer: We aim to get as much data on this card up as possible, but if there is more you

need to know, please contact your local Yamaha dealer. The telephone numbers for them are

on the Where to go section on the Yamaha UK website.

269 Question: Can I record audio to my removable drive with the SW1000XG?

Answer: The speed of your drive won’t get any better just because you have fitted a fast

powerful card such as the SW1000XG into your machine. To get the best performance from

your drives, keep them as clean as possible. Defragment them regularly, and try just to use one

of your drives for audio (i.e. don’t go throwing a load of Word processors and other junk all over

your audio drive).

270 Question: How can I synchronize SW1000XG with other digital equipment?

Answer: SW1000XG is capable of generating digital clock via the S/PDIF port. In certain

applications, such as mastering to DAT, this capability is all that is required to insure that

SW1000XG’s digital clock is synchronized with that of the DAT. In other applications, such as

synchronizing to a digital console, it is desirable and necessary to synchronize to word clock,

which is sent out on SW1000XG. For users that need more advanced synchronization

capabilities, DSP Factory is the preferred choice.

271 Question: Can I store voices actually on the card?

Answer: The card has no user battery-backed RAM as such for this (as is the case with

nearly every card in the world), so no, just save voices out as MIDI files or sysex dumps.

272 Question: Can I load Soundfonts into the SW1000XG?
