KENTON PLUGSTATION USERS MANUAL

DATA FILER or computer to record the SYSEX data being sent out). This option is in a different level and

will be covered later in this section.

The STATUS level as we say, quickly allows you to see some other main parameters for PLUGSTATION,

For example, to view the performance memory location (one of 64 memory locations where you can store

your PLG card offset parameters, routing and output levels),just use the DATA ENTRY knob clockwise to

scroll to the next page from MIDI STATUS menu. This will show a performance number as shown in the

following diagram.

The numeric value may differ, but it will be in the range 1-64. To change performance just press the knob

once (short press) and continue to scroll the DATA entry knob. This will then scroll through each of the 64

performance locations, and load them as each number comes up by pressing down on the DATA ENTRY

knob for recall. The screen will briefly flash, and return to the Performance selection option. (Please allow up

to a second for each performance to load). When selecting a performance in this way the LED DOT will

move to the VALUE (VAL) section showing that you are entering a value.

Once you have entered the performance you wish to recall, you can scroll back anti-clockwise to MIDI

STATUS view.

Once back in the MIDI STATUS view, you can drop to the main editing modes. If you wish (and you have set

up the PLUGSTATION MASTER MIDI CHANNEL correctly (see later in this chapter), you can also use MIDI

program changes to call up Performance memory locations. (This only works from the MIDI IN PORT, not

from the SW1000XG D-SUB connector, as it seemed more sensible to isolate Performance changes from

the main bulk of data and program changes being sent from the SW1000XG D-SUB port).

NOTE: SENDING A PERFORMANCE CHANGE OVER MIDI WILL CAUSE THE SCREEN TO FLASH UP

THE PERFORMANCE YOU HAVE SELECTED BRIEFLY THEN RETURN YOU TO THE EDITING

LOCATION YOU WERE IN.

These Performance changes are standard program messages, which require no BANK SELECT MSB or

LSB data, just a simple program number. The performance changes will occur from MIDI program changes

sent on the MASTER MIDI control channel, which is covered later in this section.

NOTE: PERFORMANCE CHANGES WILL NOT WORK FROM THE SW1000XG 44 WAY D-SUB

CONNECTOR, YOU NEED TO CONNECT THE SW1000XG MIDI OUT TO THE PLUGSTATION MIDI IN

FOR THIS TO WORK. THIS IS TO AVOID PROBLEMS WITH PARTS BEING SENT FROM SW1000XG

EDITING SOFTWARE SUCH AS XGEDIT OR XGWORKS, WHICH MAY REFRESH ALL CHANNELS ON

STARTUP, SENDING A PROGRAM CHANGE TO THE PERFORMANCE CHANNEL, WHICH MAY NOT

BE DESIRED. IF YOU WISH TO RECALL PERFORMANCES STORED ON PLUGSTATION FROM THE

SW1000XG, YOUR SOFTWARE NEEDS TO HAVE THE PLUGSTATION RECOGNISED ON THE

SW1000 MIDI OUT PORT. XGPAD FROM MICHAEL BRAY IS THE APPLICATION RECOMMENDED

FOR USE WITH THE PLUGSTATION.

So for example, if you have the MASTER MIDI channel on PLUGSTATION set to 16, then your MIDI

keyboard or SW1000XG MIDI OUT port needs to send an appropriate program change on CHANNEL 16 to

select a new performance.
