Overview of the PLG150-VL
VL Voice Edit
Editing VL-XG Voices
If you want to edit the existing MIDI files or create a MIDI song using various VL-XG voices from
the PLG150-VL, you need to use a sequencing software which is capable of editing system exclusive
messages and transmit bank select/program change messages and/or parameter changes to the
PLG150-VL. See MIDI Data Format (p. 40) for more information on the system exclusive messages.
However, using the XG Editor Window of the music sequencing software, “XGworks lite” (an Win-
dows application, provided in the “mother” synthesizer/ tone generator) lets you visually and easily
enter the VL program change data and edit its data instead of inputting rather complicated system
exclusive messages.
Creating Your Own VL Voices
Even if you have no experience in voice creation, the “VL Visual Editor” (provided in the included
disk) lets you easily create VL voices (p. 7).
To use the “XGworks lite” and “VL Visual Editor” you need to connect the “mother” synthesizer/ tone
generator/ sound card to your PC, and properly set the “Driver” and “Input/ Output devices.” For the
details refer to the owner’s manual of the “XGworks lite.”
Installation
For the installation of the PLG150-VL see the manual of respectiv “mother” synthesizer/ tone genera-
tor/ sound card.
