■ Differences between the PLG150 and PLG100 series
(Single Part Plug-in Boards)
If you intend to use Single Part Plug-in Boards, Yamaha recommends that you use the PLG150
series boards exclusively. For this reason, the included floppy disk features voice data for
PLG150 series Plug-in Boards. However, you can use the PLG100 series if you keep in mind
the following points and anomalies.
● Poly Expansion (page 69)
If you have installed a PLG150 Board to SLOT 1 and a PLG100 Board to SLOT 2 (or, in other
words, installed a higher level board of the same type to SLOT 1), and have set POLY EXPAN-
SION to ON, you may experience certain problems when playing the voices.
When you have installed a PLG150-DX to SLOT 1 and a PLG100-DX to SLOT 2:
No problem should result when using the installed voices in both boards; however, if you try
to play voices that do not exist on the PLG100-DX (SLOT2), the sound may drop out period-
ically. Make sure to use only those voices that are common to the two boards.
When you have installed a PLG150-VL to SLOT 1 and a PLG100-VL to SLOT 2:
If the Breath Mode of the PLG150-VL Native Part parameters (a parameter that does not
exist on the PLG100-VL) is set to a value other than "System,” the volume and timbre of the
played voice changes every other note. Make sure to set the Breath Mode to "System" in
this case.
● Data compatibility
The Board Custom Voices are not available in PLG100 series boards. As a result, data related
problems will occur when loading the voice data from disk to Flash ROM with the Plug-in Man-
ager function.
When you install the PLG100 series voice data with a PLG150 Board installed:
The Plug-in Voice using the Board Custom Voice may not sound appropriately, if the Board
Custom Voice has been edited and Board Custom Backup has been executed.
This is because the PLG100 series voice data does not contain the Board Custom Voice
data.
When you install the PLG150 series voice data with a PLG100 Board installed:
• The Board Custom Voice data loaded from disk is not used. Therefore, voices using this
data may sound different than expected or than originally programmed.
• If a PLG100-DX board is installed and you select a voice based on a voice that does not
exist on the PLG100-DX board, no sound results.
• The Breath Mode setting of the PLG150-VL Native Part parameters is ignored, and the
Breath Mode setting of the PLG100-VL Native System parameters is available.
■ Setting the Unison Switch of the PLG150-AN board to on
Plug-in Voices of the PLG150-AN for which Unison Switch (of the Native System parameters)
has been set to on, cannot be played polyphonically — even if the 9000Pro’s POLY/MONO but-
ton is set to POLY. Note that many of the Plug-in Custom Voices in the included disk are delib-
erately set to Unison On, to effectively recreate popular monophonic synthesizer sounds.
