Overview of the PLG150-DX

■

FM Synthesis

The PLG150-DX employs the same FM tone generation system — with 6 operators and 32 algo-

rithms — as made famous by the popular DX-series synthesizers.

■

912 Preset Voices

Built right into the PLG150-DX is a huge total of 912 DX voices. From conventional instrument

sounds such as electric piano and bass to wild and unusual sound effects, the PLG150-DX gives you

the full range of voices that made the DX-series instruments famous.

■

16-note Polyphony

The PLG150-DX features a maximum polyphony of 16 notes, the same as on the DX7 and DX7II.

However, unlike with those instruments, you can install multiple PLG150-DX boards (up to a maxi-

mum of eight) for a total polyphony of 128 notes. For example, when three PLG150-DX boards are

installed to a MU128 tone generator, the maximum polyphony becomes 48 voices.

■

Voice Data Transfer

Since the PLG150-DX is compatible with the DX-series instruments, voice data can be transferred

between the plug-in board and the DX7 or DX7II. This allows you to use those instruments (or com-

patible editing software) to edit and create voices, which can then be transferred to the PLG150-DX.

The PLG150-DX is also compatible with voice parameters for the DX1, DX7S, TF1 modules (such as

for the TX816), TX7, and the TX802.

Some voices on the compatible devices mentioned above may sound slightly different when played on

the PLG150-DX.

■

Built-in Filters and Equalizer

The PLG150-DX gives you additional sound-shaping power with built-in low pass and high pass ﬁl-

ters, plus a two-band equalizer. You can use these together with other FM voice parameters to create

your own original voices.
