Selecting Xg Voices (Modular Synthesis Plug-In System) - Yamaha PLG100-XG Owner's Manual

Selecting XG Voices
(Modular Synthesis Plug-in System)
When the PLG100-XG is installed to a MSPS-compatible instrument, the XG voices can be selected
in much the same way as the internal voices of the instrument. A different voice can be selected for
each of the sixteen Parts, corresponding to the sixteen MIDI channels.
The example displays used in the following explanations are all taken from the CS6x.
1
Press the PERFORM button.
2
Press the EDIT button.

Use knob A to select the desired Part (from 17 - 32), then select the desired
voice by using the BANK and PROGRAM buttons.
For a complete list of the available banks and their MSB/LSB values, refer to the "XG Voice List" on
page 14.
When using MU-series instruments (such as the MU100 or MU128), keep in mind that the PLG100-XG voices
can only be selected remotely from the connected computer, and not from the front panel of the instrument
itself.
When playing back song data (of any format) with the CS6X/CS6R/S80, you may find that even though the
voices change properly, the voice names shown in the LCD may not.
Also, after playing back song data of a format that is neither XG nor GM, you may find that the voices sound
correct but that the voice names shown in the LCD do not seem to match. In this case, you may want to reset
the instrument so that the voices display properly. To do this, send a XG System On or GM System On mes-
sage (play back an XG or GM song; the appropriate message is at the beginning of the song), or turn the
power of the instrument off and on again.

respective number by using the DEC/INC buttons.
