KENTON PLUGSTATION USERS MANUAL
16
the only PLG hosting device that supports up to 8 discrete digital audio channels over the industry standard
ADAT format. Fitting PLG cards is a relatively easy operation, which we will discuss now.
To begin fitting a PLG series card to the PLUGSTATION, first we recommend that you turn off the power to
PLUGSTATION and remove all connecting plugs (such as ADAT, audio and power cable). Using a
screwdriver, remove the backplate found on the rear of the PLUGSTATION undoing the two screws, which
hold it in place. Please DO NOT attempt or undo any of the other screws on the PLUGSTATION unless you
are also fitting the optional Y or Z boards. The four internal connecting cables each have a Yamaha PLG
series connector socket attached to the end of the cable runs, and you will find are numbered 1-4. The
cables should not be pulled or tugged at excessively. As with fitting a PLG card to the SW1000XG or any
other PLG compatible device, care should be taken to avoid static electricity build up, and you should make
sure that you are suitably earthed before proceeding. Now, connect the PLG card or cards to each of the 4
labelled connector plugs (in numerical order is the most sensible approach, so your first card will attach to
the cable marked ONE, second card to cable marked TWO etc. (see note on specific PLG cards ordering)),
and slide them in to the brackets, which hold them in place. (See Diagram 10 for connector information).
Make sure to insert each card slowly and gently, keeping the edges of the board inside the proper guide
rails. With the board in place, plug in one of the four cable connectors to the connector on the Plug-in board.
Any one of the cable connectors can be used, however we recommend the logical board assignment for
PLUGSTATION (slots 1 - 4) is in the following order
NOTE: IF YOU HAVE A PLG100VH CARD THEN SLOT 1 SHOULD HAVE THIS CARD INSERTED IN IT,
AND SLOT 2-4 ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
PLG100/150 – VL, AN, PF, DX, XG (SEE NOTE ON XG CARD LATER IN THIS GUIDE), IF YOU HAVE
NO VH CARD, THEN ANY SLOT IS FINE FOR ANY SYNTH BASED YAMAHA CARD ALTHOUGH WE
DO RECOMMEND PUTTING THEM IN FROM SLOT 1 ONWARDS. A TYPICAL EXAMPLE WOULD BE
SLOT 1 – PLG150DX
SLOT 2 – PLG150VL
SLOT 3 – PLG150PF
SLOT 4 – PLG150AN

Certain anomalies do exist with the PLG100VH card in that the SW1000XG will set up an INSERT effect
channel if it detects this board, which may affect the operation of other PLG cards if it is not detected on
startup or not fitted to slot 1. PLUGSTATION is optimized to be used as a synthesizer-hosting device for the
Yamaha PLG synth type cards (VL, AN, DX, PF etc). If you find you are experiencing problems with the VH
card, please ensure that it is in slot 1 and that the PLUGSTATION is powered up soon after the computer is
turned on. This will allow the SW1000XG to correctly identify and set up the PLG100VH. This condition does
not apply to other Yamaha PLG cards.
