Installing the Optional XG Plug-in System

XG Plug-in System Integration

The XG Plug-in System is not merely an add-on. It is a series of fully inte-
grated components that work seamlessly and naturally with your XG tone
generator. As a result, the functions of the plug-in system not only expand
the features of the XG tone generator but compliment them as well.
Through the system, a tone generating plug-in board is assigned its own part
when installed into the MU100. Since the digital signal of the plug-in board
is sent in the same way as a Part from the MU100, the entire range of the
main unit's features including system effects, insertion effects, system EQ,
etc. are available. As soon as you mount the plug-in board into the MU100,
you can edit parameters as well as make settings through the plug-in board's
menu that appears on the display.
XG insertion effects are supported by mounting an effect-type plug-in board
into the MU100. Effect settings for the plug-in board can be made directly
through the MU100.

The Boards of the XG Plug-in System

Currently, the XG Plug-in System consists of three optional plug-in boards:
the PLG100-DX, PLG100-VL and PLG100-VH.
PLG100-DX
This board supports the same powerful FM synthesis voices as
YAMAHA's legendary DX7. Plug this board into your MU100 for 912
unbelievable FM voices with up to16-note polyphony.
PLG100-VL
The Virtual Acoustic Plug-in Board provides the same "Virtual Acous-
tic", realistic sounds of the VL70-m by S/VA physical modeling. Addi-
tionally, this plug-in installs a preset bank of 256 voices that range from
traditional to uniquely inventive.
PLG100-VH
This plug-in board is optimal for installing enhanced vocal-harmony
features onto your MU100. The Vocal Harmony Plug-in Board includes
four different types of harmonic effects: "Vocoder", "Chordal",
"Detune" and "Chromatic". Use the board to apply one-, two- or three-
part harmonies to vocal signals that are input through the A/D inputs, or
to change the harmony interval of chords. This plug-in also includes a
unique voice changer that allows you to experiment with choral effects
as well as interchange male with female voice qualities.
