You can store the settings in this display to Flash
ROM by using this button.
This parameter is available when the
same (or same type) of Plug-in
Boards (e.g., the PLG100-DX and
the PLG150-DX) are installed in the
two slots. When the appropriate
boards are installed and this is set to
on, the two boards effectively func-
tion as one, and are assigned to a
single part (R1, R2, R3, or L), effec-
tively doubling the total polyphony.
When this is set to ON, you can
select the Plug-in voice only via the
[SLOT1] button. Please note that the
[SLOT2] button cannot be used.
This function is for Multi Part Plug-in Boards (e.g.,
PLG150-XG), and lets you select the tone genera-
tor for XG disk song playback.
When "SLOT 1" or "SLOT 2" is selected, the
installed Plug-in Board is used as the tone gener-
ator for the XG disk song playback.
When "INTERNAL" is selected, the 9000Pro inter-
nal tone generator is used.
See the HINT below for information on how to use
this function effectively.
Using the SONG TG (Tone Generator) Function
• For example, when set to INTERNAL:
If you are playing back XG song data
with the 9000Pro, you can use an XG
Plug-in Board installed to Slot 1 as a
dedicated tone generator — freeing up
the polyphony of the internal tone gen-
erator to be used exclusively for your
keyboard performance. This is espe-
cially convenient when playing an
Organ Flutes voice, which requires
many notes of polyphony.
In this setup, you can play back up to 48 different parts from
sequencing software on a computer, using the three tone genera-
tors of the 9000Pro: the internal tone generator, and two installed
XG Plug-in Boards. To play back the song with the settings above,
make the appropriate Thru Port settings (page 173) to 1-8 or OFF,
so that the 9000Pro will properly recognize the MIDI Port data.
• 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 expe-
rience certain problems
when playing the voices.
