Set the MIDI port of the installed Plug-in Board to

"2" or "3" in the [UTILITY]
MIDI display.

If the MIDI Port number here is set to "1" or "off," the Plug-in Voice may
sound simultaneously with the internal Voice, when playing back
Song/Pattern data. To keep this from happening, make sure the MIDI
Port number of the Plug-in Board is set to "2" or "3" — especially when
using the Song/Pattern mode. To prevent a similar problem when
using both a Single Part Plug-in Board and a Multi Part Plug-in Board
together, set each board to a different MIDI Port number.
Press the [VOICE] button to enter the Voice Play
5
mode and select a Plug-in Voice.
Selecting a Plug-in Voice is done in the same way as selecting a
Normal Voice (page 60) with the exception that you select one of the
PLG (Plug-in) Banks. Press the PLG button which corresponds to the
slot to which the Plug-in Board has been installed.

in Preset) bank, refer to the Plug-in Voice List. Regarding the Board

Playing Voices of the Plug-in User banks (PLG1USR, PLG2USR,
PLG3USR) will result in no sound, if the Plug-in Board has just been
installed. These banks become available only after you edit a Plug-in
Voice and store it as a User Plug-in Voice.
