Note that the small DOT LED is now underneath the CARD label. If we now go into the editing for this card
by using a short press on the DATA ENTRY knob, the DOT LED will move to the PARA label, indicating that
we are now at PARAMETER level. The editing commands for each PLG card at PARA level are as follows.
NOTE: REPEATED PRESSES (SHORT PRESS) ON THE DATA ENTRY KNOB WILL TAKE YOU
THROUGH THE VARIOUS PARAMETER OPTIONS, ALTERNATING BETWEEN THE PARAMETER AND
THE VALUE IN STEP SEQUENCE ORDER. TO RETURN AT ANY POINT TO THE TOP-LEVEL MENU,
JUST PRESS DOWN THE DATA ENTRY KNOB FOR 2 SECONDS. THIS WILL TAKE YOU BACK TO
THE TOP LEVEL FOR THE MENU YOU ARE IN. HOLDING DOWN THE DATA ENTRY KNOB TO
LONGER WILL TAKE YOU TO THE VERY TOP MENU (STATUS LABEL)
BANK MSB – This is the BANK SELECT “MOST SIGNIFICANT BYTE” parameter (appears as seen in the
diagram below bntH). Program change messages only go up to a value of 127 in standard MIDI devices, so
a method of adding many hundreds of banks was required. This is the Bank select method. Here 2 data
bytes (an MSB or MOST significant byte, and an LSB or LEAST significant byte) are used to select the many
banks available. The wide range of banks, which each PLG card supports, can be found in the appropriate
PLG card reference manual. The VAL range for this parameter is 0-127. To correctly call up a sound from a
Yamaha PLG card requires both the MSB and LSB messages to be sent followed by a program change
message.
BANK LSB – This is the BANK SELECT LEAST SIGNIFICANT BYTE parameter (appears as seen in the
diagram below bntL). Again the banks, which each PLG card supports, can be found in the appropriate PLG
card reference manual. The VAL range for this parameter is 0-127
