About The Included Cd-Rom; For Windows Users - Yamaha PLG150-DR Owner's Manual

About the Included CD-ROM

This CD-ROM includes two types of data: application software and sampled audio data.
Please refer to page 19 (Windows) and 24 (Macintosh) for software instllation instructions.
You can play back the audio data from an audio CD player (or any CD playing/ripping function on
your computer.)
Never attempt to play back track 1 (containing the application software) on an audio CD player.
Doing so may damage to your hearing as well as to your CD player/audio speakers.
CAUTION
Track 1 : Application software; do NOT attempt to play back this track.
Track 2 : Demonstration song recorded on the PLG150-DR.
Track 3 : Demonstration song recorded on the PLG150-PC.

For Windows Users

The included CD-ROM contain editing software to make user voices for the PLG150-DR/PLG150-
PC as well as demonstration songs and Voice data for the "mother" device.
You can start the editing software as either a stand-alone software or a plug-in application in the Open
Plug-in Technology compatible application (SQ01, etc.) You can save the user voice edited on this
software as SMF format file. The SMF format file is used for any sequencers.
For playing back the demonstration songs, you can use any compatible sequence software or hard-
ware sequencer capable of sending bulk data.
About Open Plug-in Technology
Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a newly developed software format that allows control over MIDI
devices from a music software sequencer. For example, this allows you to start up and operate various
parts of your music system, such as plug-in board editors, and mixing control editors — directly from an
OPT-compatible sequencer, without having to use each separately. This also makes it unnecessary to set
MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music production system and making all operations
more convenient and seamless.
OPT Level Implementation for the Plug-in Board Editor
The client application and its compatibility with OPT can be divided into three levels, as shown below.
(For more information, refer to the documentation or help files included with the client application.)
This chart shows the OPT-compatibility of the Plug-in Board Editor.
