DIAGRAM 3: MIDI DATA ACTIVITY MONITOR
If you have MIDI devices connected to the PLUGSTATION or the SW1000XG card correctly connected and
are sending MIDI data, the MIDI RECEIVE segment should light up. If not please ensure your connections
are correct (outlined in the section relating to installation), and that your cables (MIDI or SW1000XG
connector) are firmly attached.
NOTE: BY DEFAULT THE 4 PLG SLOTS ARE ASSIGNED TO MIDI CHANNELS 1-4 (CORRESPONDING
TO THE SLOT NUMBER) RESPECTIVELY
Pressing the DATA ENTRY button for a SHORT PRESS will take you to the next level of editing.
Throughout this manual we will refer to “short press” and “long press” actions. The DATA ENTRY knob on
the front of PLUGSTATION is also a push button control. A short press is a brief push, lasting no longer than
1 second, a long press is a longer “push and hold” which is around 1-2 seconds. Once you have got used to
this, getting around the various Plugstation menus becomes very easy.
CARD – This section covers the card specific and GLOBAL editing menu options. As we have just
mentioned, if you press the DATA ENTRY button once for a short press, you will be taken to a top-level
menu option, which displays the card attached to slot 1 (this is covered in more detail in the front panel
editing section of this guide). If you have a PLG series card fitted in slot one (for this example a Yamaha
PLG150DX) the display will appear like diagram 4

You can at this stage use the rotary encoder to scroll through the 4 slots, and check that any installed cards
(PLG100 or 150 series) are being correctly identified. The display will read in segment one, the slot number,
and in segments 3 and 4 the name of the board (2 character version for example VL or An). If a slot has no
board attached then segments 3 and 4 will just show lines in the central portion, as in diagram 5.
