KENTON PLUGSTATION USERS MANUAL

layered a PLG150AN, and PLG150PF card both on channel 1, and you adjust controller 74 for either board,

you will find that the controller value will adjust the brightness of both cards at the same time. If you wish to

avoid this, then the way to layer sounds will depend on your controller keyboard. Most controller keyboards

allow zoning and layering of multiple parts. What you would have to do is set up your controller keyboard to

transmit the same keyboard region to 2 different MIDI channels at the same time, and create a layer in this

way. That way you will still retain individual control over 2 boards, as controller data will be sent to discrete

MIDI channels. Furthermore, layering sounds on the same MIDI channel from PLUGSTATION can lead to

other problems such as incorrect bank select or program change messages which may work for one board

being sent to both boards, and one board automatically cutting out. It is best to leave the boards on their

default MIDI channels, or on discrete MIDI channels from each other, to avoid this happening. Using optional

editing software this problem is avoided, as the program change messages for each board can be sent via

SYSEX, thus avoiding a conflict of bank messages being received.

IMPORTANT NOTE 1: IN STAND-ALONE MODE, YOU CANNOT USE THE PLG100VH CARD. THIS IS

DUE TO PLUGSTATION NOT HAVING AN ANALOGUE INPUT. THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT THE

PLG100VH CARD REQUIRES A SPECIFIC WORD CLOCK AND DIGITAL INPUT SIGNAL (NORMALLY

FROM A PLG HOSTING DEVICE SUCH AS THE SW1000XG OR MU128 FOR EXAMPLE). IF THIS

WORDCLOCK AND DIGITAL INPUT ARE NOT PRESENT, THEN THE BOARD WILL NOT FUNCTION,

AND TO AVOID PROBLEMS WITH MULTIPLE WORDCLOCK SOURCES CONFLICTING BETWEEN

THE AD INPUT SIGNAL FEEDING FROM THE SW1000XG, AND ALSO FROM A POSSIBLE AD INPUT

ON PLUGSTATION IT WAS DEEMED THAT NO AD INPUT WOULD BY PRESENT ON PLUGSTATION,

AND THUS THE PLG100VH WILL NOT WORK IN STAND ALONE MODE.

IMPORTANT NOTE 2: THE YAMAHA PLG150XG CARD IS CURRENTLY THE ONLY MULTI-TIMBRAL

PLG CARD FROM YAMAHA. THIS CARD IF INSERTED INTO PLUGSTATION WILL IN EFFECT TURN

PLUGSTATION INTO A YAMAHA XG COMPATIBLE TONE MODULE. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE

LIMITATIONS OF THE FRONT PANEL CONTROL, EDITING OF THIS PLG CARD WILL BE

IMPOSSIBLE FOR ALL 16 CHANNELS, AS PLUGSTATION SUPPORTS ONLY 1 CHANNEL PER SLOT.

TO EDIT THE PLG150XG CARD INSIDE PLUGSTATION, PLEASE USE APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE

SUCH AS XGPAD OR XGWORKS. PLEASE ALSO BEAR IN MIND THAT THE PLG150XG CARD

UNLESS TOLD NOT TO, WILL RESPOND ON ALL 16 CHANNELS. THIS MAY AFFECT CARDS IN

OTHER SLOTS FROM SOUNDING WITHOUT HEARING THE PLG150XG CARD AT THE SAME TIME.

TO DISABLE A SPECIFIC PLG150XG CHANNEL, PLEASE REFER TO THE SYSEX COMMAND

(FOUND IN THE MIDI DATA LIST OF THE PLG150XG MANUAL) APPROPRIATE TO THE CHANNEL

OR CHANNELS THAT YOU WISH TO DISABLE EON THIS CARD TO ENABLE PLAYBACK ON THAT

CHANNEL OF OTHER PLG CARDS INSTALLED IN THE PLUGSTATION. THIS IS THE CASE WITH

MANY YAMAHA PLG HOSTING DEVICES, AND IS SPECIFICALLY NOT A LIMITATION OF

PLUGSTATION

Once you have the voices setup for the individual PLG cards you have fitted to PLUGSTATION, you should

now be able to hear them play on their respective MIDI channels and outputs. As PLUGSTATION has no

headphone socket, you will require a mixer and amplifier to be able to hear the output. Please ensure that

your mixer inputs are correctly connected to the analogue outputs (or if you have an ADAT compatible

mixer, to the appropriate ADAT port) on PLUGSTATION, as shown in the diagram below.
