Necessary Items that Are Not Included
XG tone generator or synthesizer
To use your PLG100-DX, you will need an XG tone generator or synthesizer equipped
with an XG Plug-in platform function that is compatible with the XG Plug-in system,
such as the MU128 or SW1000XG.
The MU128 and SW1000XG are equipped with each of the XG Plug-in platform func-
tions, and can be used for installing the PLG100-DX.
The software programs explained below will put the functions of the PLG100-DX right
at your fingertips, helping you get the most enjoyment out of it.
XGworks(lite)
When you use Yamaha’s XGworks(lite) as your sequence software, you can take ad-
vantage of the two editing software programs explained below, the “DX Simulator”
and the “DX Easy Editor.” These programs make it really easy to edit the voices of
your PLG100-DX board.
DX Easy Editor
The DX Easy Editor lets you indirectly change the PLG100-DX voices by changing the
part parameters. It’s not for directly editing the voice parameters. Using this software,
you can edit both the XG part parameters (XG parameters) that are shared by all the
parts, and the native part parameters that are specially for the PLG100-DX (DX param-
eters). The changed parameters can be either inserted into the song as events, or saved
as a DX parameter file.
Because the DX Easy Editor is plug-in software for XGworks(lite), you must have
XGworks(lite) in order to use it.
The DX Easy Editor is included on the CD-ROM that was packaged with your PLG100-
DX board.
