Introduction

With Plug-in Board Editor, you can edit your PLG150-DR/PLG150-PC’s voices and effects via your

computer. Its graphical user interface provides for easy editing by presenting each synthesizer

parameter on screen as a slider, switch, and so on, which can be manipulated using your

computer’s mouse or keyboard. Finally, all the changes you have made to your voices can be

saved to your computer.

Starting Up

After installing the Plug-in Board Editor and making all necessary connections, start up the Editor

according to the following instructions.

• For the Plug-in Board Editor to work properly, you’ll need to make appropriate output settings for the

MIDI driver (Page 13).

• When using an Modular Synthesis Plug-in System (MSPS) compatible synthesizer (such as the

MOTIF or S80), make sure to switch from the Internal Voice bank to the Board Voice bank before

starting the Plug-in Board Editor.

●

Start the Plug-in Board Editor as a stand-alone application

Select the Plug-in Board Editor from the Start menu. (Programs

YAMAHA OPT Tools

Plug-in Board Editor for PLG150-DR/PLG150-PC

Plug-in Board Editor for PLG150-DR/

PLG150-PC)

The Plug-in Board Editor can also be started by double-clicking on any Library ﬁle made with the

Editor.

Click the [MIDI SETUP] button called up in step #1 above, then set the appropriate MIDI

port.

Select the part in the “Select Part” dialog and click “OK”.

●

Start the Plug-in Board Editor in the client application as a plug-in software

The Plug-in Board Editor can be used as a plug-in software in any client application compatible

with Open Plug-in Technology (OPT). Refer to the owner’s manual of the client application for

details on using plug-in software.

NOTE

About Open Plug-in Technology

Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a newly developed software format that allows control over MIDI

devices from a music software sequencer. For example, this allows you to start up and operate various

parts of your music system, such as plug-in board editors, and mixing control editors — directly from an

OPT-compatible sequencer, without having to use each separately. This also makes it unnecessary to

set MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music production system and making all

operations more convenient and seamless.

OPT Level Implementation for the Plug-in Board Editor

The client application and its compatibility with OPT can be divided into three levels, as shown

below. (For more information, refer to the documentation or help ﬁles included with the client

application.)

This chart shows the OPT-compatibility of the Plug-in Board Editor.

NOTE: Certain operations may not work as expected if there is no corresponding function in the client

application (sequencer, etc.). The highest level of implementation for the client application is

indicated in the OPT logo (which appears along with the version information in the application).

Assigning the PLG150-DR/PLG150-PC to a Par

In order to play and edit the PLG150-DR/PLG150-PC, the DR/PC voice must be assigned to a Part

on the tone generator/sound card.

If you need to select a Part after starting the Plug-in Board Editor, use the “Setup” dialog box.

Select Part

Select the part to which the PLG150-DR/PLG150-PC is assigned.

If the Plug-in Board has been installed to a Modular Synthesis Plug-in System compatible

synthesizer, select the Part according to the chart below. (Each Part in the relevant synthesizer

is ﬁxed. For more information, refer to the owner’s manual of the particular synthesizer.)

NOTE

Using the Plug-in Board Editor

— Example Operation

There is no single way in which to use the many components in Plug-in Board Editor.

Your particular editing needs may differ; however, the following steps provide an example of how to

use the Plug-in Board Editor.

Start the Plug-in Board Editor. If you use the Editor as a stand-alone application, click the

“MIDI SETUP” button and set the appropriate MIDI port. Assign the plug-in board to a part in

the “Select Part” dialog. Then click the “Editor Setup” button to open the “Setup” dialog. Select

the appropriate MIDI Out Port and Device No. settings (see the section “Setup” Dialog).

Editor Setup can be called up from the toolbar of the Library window.

Click “OK” in the “Select Part” dialog. The Edit window of the User Voice No. 001 and the

Library window will open.

In the Library window, you can open existing Library ﬁles containing the Voices you wish to edit,

and speciﬁc voices can be imported to the Library window.

Various units are arranged in the Edit window. First, let’s select the wave set to be used in the

ORIGINAL KIT. Then select the note to be edited in the KEY Unit. Adjust the tonal

characteristics of the voice using the ﬁlter and other settings. You can use the graph editors in

each dialog to visually edit the parameters.

By enabling the “Compare” button in the toolbar in the Edit window, you can make A/B

comparisons between the original voice and the edited voice.

Select the Insertion Effect Type in the EFFECT Unit and set the remaining parameters.

Select the Reverb Type in the EFFECT Unit and set the remaining parameters.

Click the “Store” button in the toolbar of the Edit window to open the “Store” dialog. This will

store the edits for the current voice in the Library ﬁle.

The edits for the voice are only stored in the Library ﬁle temporarily. Beware that if you proceed

further without saving the Library ﬁle itself, you will lose all your edits.

Switch back to the Library window and click the “Save” button in the toolbar to save (overwrite)

the Library ﬁle. The edits for your voice will be saved with the voice itself in the designated voice

list location.

• The Library ﬁle you have saved can be opened in the Library window at any time. Voices in the

Library window can be transmitted to your plug-in board.

• You can create a variety of different Library ﬁles, each tailored for live performances, recording,

etc. allowing you to modify voices to suit different situations and needs.

NOTE

Menu Bar

The Menu Bar contains various editing and setup functions/commands in its menus. Click each of

the menu names to open their pull-down menu, and choose the function/command you wish to

apply. Those functions/commands which are unavailable are grayed out.

The most commonly-used menus in the Menu Bar are available as buttons in the Plug-in Board

Editor’s toolbar.

“User” and “Preset” tabs, each representing the voice type. Each tab lists all the names and

numbers of voices in the selected voice type group. Double-clicking a ﬁle (Voice Name) from the

Library window automatically opens the Edit window for the selected voice.

You can save your settings as a Library ﬁle (*.DRK/*.PCK).

Toolbar

This area holds the buttons controlling Plug-in Board Editor (Page 10).

Tabs

Click one of these to view the voice list for that group.

Voice list

This area shows all the voices in the selected group as a scrollable list. The name and number

of each voice are shown. You can rearrange the voices by dragging-and-dropping their voice

numbers to a new location. You can rename a voice in Windows by selecting the voice name,

then clicking on it again to enter a new name.

• To select a continuous block of voices, click the number of the ﬁrst voice, hold down the [Shift]

key, then click the last number.

• Voice names can consist of up to 8 characters.

NOTE

Viewing Just the Voice Names

You can view just the names of all voices in the group without their “Number” information. To

do this, right-click on any part of the voice list and choose “List.” This may be useful when

choosing voices quickly, since you will have less scrolling to do.

To switch back to the full Voice Name/Number list, right-click on any part of the voice list and

choose “Details.”

• Are the MIDI Out port and Device Number set correctly in the Editor Setup? (Page 13)

Bulk data is not transmitted.

• Are the MIDI Out port and Device Number set correctly in the Editor Setup? (Page 13)

• Is the Dump Interval in the Editor Setup too short? Make sure the Dump Interval is at least 10

ms.

Sound is doubled when playing keyboard.

• On the “mother” device, switch Local to OFF.

No sound heard when clicking on-screen keyboard in Edit window.

• Is the MIDI Ch. set correctly in the Editor Setup? (Page 13)
