This is the GLOBAL parameter menu. Pressing the data entry knob for a short press on this item will take
you to the main GLOBAL parameters for PLUGSTATION.
SVOL – THIS IS THE GLOBAL SW1000XG RETURN PATH VOLUME. Here we can control the master
return level volume for the SW1000XG connector (this only applies if you are using the PLUGSTATION in
conjunction with the SW1000XG and X-BOARD). This setting will override all individual board settings, as it
controls the master PLUGSTATION DSP feed send back to the SW1000XG. The value range for this
parameter is 0-127, where 0 is off (so try to avoid this setting if you want to avoid hearing nothing back
through the SW1000XG ports, mainly if you don’t have the Y-BOARD fitted), and 127 is maximum volume.
This is useful in that it stops the audio for PLG cards being fed back to the SW1000XG at all, which is good
if you wish to just hear the individual PLG cards from the Y-BOARD individual outputs (if fitted). This
parameter is useful for doing global mix downs where a volume fade of all 4 boards may be required (say at
the end of a song). It is especially useful if you don’t have the Y-BOARD fitted in this case.
D_NO – DEVICE NUMBER. This sets the GLOBAL DEVICE NUMBER for the PLUGSTATION itself. This is
useful for instances where multiple PLUGSTATION units are in use, and you wish to send control command
parameters via SYSEX to only 1 device. It has a value range of 0-16
MCH – MASTER MIDI CHANNEL. This is used to determine the MASTER MIDI channel for PLUGSTATION
itself. If you wish to send PERFORMANCE changes to PLUGSTATION over MIDI to call up the 64
performance memory locations, or adjust master parameters, then this CHANNEL is the controlling channel
for the unit. It will default to 16, to avoid conflicting with any of the installed PLG cards, which by default will
be assigned to channels 1-4 for all PLG cards barring the PLG150XG card (which is the only multitimbral
Yamaha PLG series card). It is advisable not to set the MASTER channel for PLUGSTATION to any channel
that may be in use by PLG series cards that you have installed if possible. The range of values for this is
1-16 and OFF (OFF will disable performance selection over MIDI)
