PROG – This indicates PROGRAM CHANGE. As with all parameters in this section, pressing once more on
the DATA ENTRY knob when this is on screen brings you to the value (VAL) level indicated by the DOT
LED moving to be located underneath the VAL label. The value range for this option is 0-127. This is the
standard MIDI range for program change messages. This mode accesses the programs in specific banks as
defined by the factory voice lists found in the Yamaha PLG card manuals. You must ensure that you are in
the correct BANK (shown above) to call up an appropriate voice. Some program locations on certain PLG
cards may not exist (for example there may be no voice 34 in BANK MSB = 62, LSB = 81 for some cards). If
you find that you hear no sound from the PLG card, then it is probably because the sound for that program
location does not exist. If this is the case, please try another program number or different BANK to call up a
voice. The voice banks and program numbers, which are valid for each card, are detailed in the PLG card
manual, which accompanies your PLG100 or 150 series card. PLUGSTATION is intelligently set out so that
on a cold start, it will interrogate the 4 slots, and assign an appropriate program, which will make a sound for
each installed PLG synth board. This is a good way to check that each PLG card is working correctly.
If you have a specific voice in mind that you wish to call up, find the MSB, LSB and PROGRAM number for
it, and then recall it using the above method. Once you have set a value using the DATA ENTRY knob for a
program number you should be able to hear the correct sound corresponding to that BANK/PROGRAM
location.
NOTE: THE PLG100VH CARD DOESN’T USE PROGRAM MESSAGES IN THIS WAY, AS IT IS AN
EFFECT PROCESSING DEVICE RATHER THAN A TONE MODULE. THE PLG100VH CARD ONLY
WORKS IN SYSTEMS, WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE SW1000XG, AND EVEN IN THIS CASE
MUST BE CONTROLLED FROM APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE AND NOT FROM THE FRONT PANEL OF
PLUGSTATION. PLEASE REFER TO THE SW1000XG CHAPTER FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
RELATING TO THE VH CARD, AND ALSO TO YOUR APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE MANUAL (FOR
EXAMPLE THE XGWORKS VH EFFECT EDITOR GUIDE SECTION IN YOUR XGWORKS PDF USER
MANUAL) FOR FURTHER INFO ON THE PLG100VH CARD.
