About Plug-in System

Structure of the XG Plug-in System

The beauty and usefulness of the XG Plug-in System is in its com-
patibility. When an XG Plug-in board is installed to a compatible
XG tone generator, the board and tone generator function together
seamlessly, as if the board were actually installed as part of the tone
generator's circuitry at the factory! This is why the XG Plug-in Sys-
tem goes far beyond the simple expansion of Voices or effects.
When installing a tone generator type XG Plug-in board (such as the
PLG100-VL or PLG100-DX) to the MU128, one Part of the MU128
is assigned to the the board's tone generator, and the digital output of
the board is handled in exactly the same way as the other Parts. This
means you can apply effects (both system and insertion) and EQ to
the new Part. As soon as the board is installed, the appropriate menu
for the Plug-in board is automatically added to the MU128, letting
you make all settings and parameter changes for the board right from
the panel of the MU128 itself.
When installing an effect type XG Plug-in board (such as the PLG100-
VH) to the MU128, the board functions as an insertion effect of the
MU128. All effect settings and editing can be done right from the
panel of the MU128 itself.

Optional XG Plug-in Boards

Three different XG Plug-in boards are currently available commer-
cially: the PLG100-VL, the PLG100-VH, and the PLG100-DX.
PLG100-VL (Virtual Acoustic Plug-in Board)
This XG Plug-in board features a "Virtual Acoustic" monophonic syn-
thesizer that creates Voices with the powerful physical modeling tone
generation system. It provides 256 internal Voices, from exception-
ally realistic brass and strings Voices to wild and unique instrument
sounds. Featuring the same system as the Yamaha VL70-m, the
PLG100-VL gives you extraordinary expressive control over the Voices.
