As we said, scrolling the DATA ENTRY knob anti-clockwise from the performance data entry LED menu, will
take us back to the MIDI STATUS screen.
However, if we now scroll clockwise past the PERFORMANCE DATA ENTRY menu, we can then see the
WORDCLOCK source menu. If the optional X-BOARD is fitted to the SW1000XG, and the SW1000XG is
working properly, then the wordclock master source will read EXT (External Wordclock). This means that the
SW1000XG is providing the master clock for the system, and any SW1000XG related functions for
PLUGSTATION should work okay. If the wordclock is reading INT (Internal), then the PLUGSTATION is
running either in stand-alone mode, or the SW1000XG wordclock is not being received correctly. If it is the
latter, please shut down your PC, turn off the power on PLUGSTATION, re-power your PC, and then a few
seconds after re-powering your PC (around 2 seconds), re power PLUGSTATION. This will allow
PLUGSTATION to be interrogated by the SW1000XG on startup, and correctly configure the clock settings.
THE ABOVE DIAGRAM SHOWS EXTERNAL WORDCLOCK IS THE MASTER CLOCK FOR THE SYSTEM
NOTE: PLUGSTATION ON POWER UP WILL WAIT FOR A WORDCLOCK SIGNAL FROM THE
SW1000XG INPUT BY DEFAULT. THIS CAN BE TURNED OFF IN THE GLOBAL MENU OPTION
(SHLD). THIS IS TO ENSURE THAT THE MASTER WORDCLOCK FOR THE SYSTEM IS CORRECTLY
IDENTIFIED. IT IS ADVISABLE TO TURN THE “SHLD” FUNCTION TO OFF IF YOU PLAN TO USE
PLUGSTATION IN STAND ALONE MODE EXCLUSIVELY (OR WILL NOT HAVE IT CONNECTED TO
SW1000XG VIA THE D-SUB CONNECTOR). IF YOU FIND THAT PLUGSTATION IS STILL MAKING
PERIOD “CLICKING” NOISES EVEN WHEN THE WORDCLOCK IS DETECTED FROM THE SW1000XG,
THEN PLEASE SAVE ALL DATA ON YOUR COMPUTER, SHUT IT DOWN, POWER IT DOWN, POWER
DOWN PLUGSTATION, THEN RESTART, WITH THE PC TURNED ON FIRST, AND 2 SECONDS LATER
SWITCH ON PLUGSTATION.
Scrolling back anti-clockwise or clockwise will take us back to the MIDI STATUS screen.
Now once back in the MIDI STATUS screen (diagram 3), if we press the DATA ENTRY knob once quickly,
we enter the main editing modes. These are the CARD and PARA levels
Once in editing mode, the screen should switch to a display, which indicates which card slot, you are
currently looking at. For example if you have a Yamaha PLG100 or 150DX card in slot 1, you will see the
following display.
