Precautions ● Do not expose the plug-in board to direct sunlight, excessive humidity, high temperatures, excessive dust or strong vibrations. ● Before handling the plug-in board, be sure to touch a metal surface to discharge any static electricity which may be in your body. ● When holding the plug-in board, do not touch the inside area of the circuit board or apply excessive pressure to the board, and be sure to protect the board from contact with water or other liquids.
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha XG Plug-in Board PLG100-XG. The PLG100-XG is a full-featured XG/GM tone generator providing complete compatibility with commercially available XG/GM song data. The PLG100-XG is designed for use in MSPS (Modular Synthesis Plug-in System) compatible synthesizers and instruments, such as the CS6x and S80, that do not have built-in XG tone generation.

Overview of the PLG100-XG Main Features of the PLG100-XG ● Exceptionally high-quality AWM2 tone generation system, with 480 instrument voices and 12 special drum voices. As a full tone generator in a single board, the PLG100-XG features maximum 32-note polyphony and 16-Part multi-timbral operation.
Overview of the PLG100-XG Required and Recommended Items In addition to the included items listed above, you should also have the following: ■ Synthesizer or Tone Generator Compatible with the Modular Synthesis or XG Plug-in Systems In order to use the PLG100-XG, you’ll need a synthesizer or tone generator that is compatible with the Modular Synthesis Plug-in System (such as the CS6x) or the XG Plug-in System (such as the MU128).
Overview of the PLG100-XG ● XG Editor for Mac (ver. 2.1) This convenient software allows you to download voice data to your Macintosh computer and edit the main XG parameters. You can edit the various XG voice and effect parameters with the XG Editor, then and use them (in either SMF or XF format) with your favorite sequencer software to change the sounds automatically during song playback, or directly change the sounds on the XG tone generator.
Overview of the PLG100-XG Installing the Software ■ Installing XGworks lite 3.0 (for Windows 98/95 only) Insert the included CD-ROM and double-click the “Setup.exe” file in the “XGworks” folder on the CD-ROM. Follow the subsequent instructions on the screen to complete the installation. ■ Installing XG Editor for Mac 2.1 (for Macintosh only) Installing XG Editor for Mac 2.1 (for Macintosh only) Insert the included CD-ROM and double-click the “Install XG Editor 2.
Overview of the PLG100-XG 3 Set the specific port (and driver) to be used, depending on your particular application or instrument, as described below. ● When Playing XG Song Data from XGworks In the Track View window of XGworks, set each track’s Port to the appropriate number for use with the PLG100-XG. This will differ depending on your particular instrument. • For Modular Synthesis Plug-in System instruments (such as the CS6x, CS6R, S80, etc.), select the Port corresponding to “Yamaha CBX A Driver.
Overview of the PLG100-XG ● When Editing XG Voices Using the XG Editor in XGworks Start the XG Editor (select “XG Editor” in the Window menu). From the XG Editor, select “XG Editor Setup” in the Setup menu and set “Part 1 - 16” to the appropriate MIDI OUT Port for use with the PLG100-XG. This will differ depending on your particular instrument. • For Modular Synthesis Plug-in System instruments (such as the CS6x, CS6R, S80, etc.), select the Port corresponding to “Yamaha CBX A Driver.
Selecting XG Voices (Modular Synthesis Plug-in System) When the PLG100-XG is installed to a MSPS-compatible instrument, the XG voices can be selected in much the same way as the internal voices of the instrument. A different voice can be selected for each of the sixteen Parts, corresponding to the sixteen MIDI channels. The example displays used in the following explanations are all taken from the CS6x. 1 Press the PERFORM button. 2 Press the EDIT button.
Editing the XG Part Parameters (Modular Synthesis Plug-in System) Keep in mind that the XG Part parameter values and settings as edited in the manner below represent offsets of the actual voice settings. This means that adjustments made to the parameters may not result in much change to the actual sound, depending on the original settings of the voice. For parameter values, a setting of “0” results in no change, while positive and negative values increase and decrease the value respectively.
Parameters Performance Parameters Bank Select MSB/LSB 0...127 Determines the bank number (by MSB and LSB) of the Part's voice. Program Number 1...128 Determines the specific voice (by program number) of the Part. Receive Channel 1...16, off Determines the MIDI receive channel for the Performance. Velocity Limit Low 1...127 Determines the lowest velocity at which the Part's voice will play. Velocity Limit High 1...127 Determines the highest velocity at which the Part's voice will play.

MIDI Data Format 1. Channel messages 1.1 Note on/note off 1.2.5 Main Volume These messages convey keyboard performance data. Range of note numbers received = 0 (C-2)...60 (C3)...127 (G8) Velocity range = 1...127 (Velocity is received only for note-on) When the Multi Part parameter "Rcv NOTE MESSAGE" = OFF, that part will not receive these messages. For a drum part*, key-off is not received if the DrumSetup parameter Rcv NOTE OFF = OFF.
MIDI Data Format 1.2.20 Data Increment/Decrement (for RPN) 1.2.12 Harmonic Content This message increases or decreases the parameter value specified for RPN (see 1.2.22), by increments of 1. This message adjusts the resonance of the filter that is specified for the sound. Control# Parameter 71 Harmonic Content Data Range 0...64...127 (-64...0...+63) Control# Parameter 96 RPN Increment 97 RPN Decrement Since this is a relative change parameter, it specifies a boost or cut relative to 64.
MIDI Data Format 1.2.22 RPN (Registered parameter number) This message is used to specify part parameters such as Pitch Bend Sensitivity or Tuning etc. as an offset value. Use RPN MSB and RPN LSB to specify the parameter that you wish to modify, and then use Data Entry (see 1.2.4) to set the value of the specified parameter. Control# Parameter 100 RPN LSB 101 RPN MSB Data Range 0...127 0...127 If the Multi Part parameter Rcv RPN = OFF, that part will not receive this message.
MIDI Data Format 1.5 Pitch bend This message conveys movements of the pitch bender. This message is generally used to modify the pitch of a part, but the depth of the following seven effects can be controlled. The effect of this message can be modified by the following parameters. • Multi Part Parameter 1. BEND PITCH CONTROL 2. BEND FILTER CONTROL 3. BEND AMPLITUDE CONTROL 4. BEND LFO PMOD DEPTH 5.
