Subject: RE: [AN1x] Kenton Plugstations

From: "Giblet" <phw@...>

There's more to a plugstation than a cartoon-handful of PLG sockets and
wire...but much of what's in there is geared toward interfacing with the
SW1000XG cards (the Z card)

I got mine just before he stopped making them. I'm glad, too. The only card
that makes no sense in a plugstation is the VH card.

I run mine through an Audigy2ZX and can SEE the improvement in waveform
'quality' when recording in 24-bit. I guess the AN card has a real DAC on
it?

A fairly good alternative to the plugstation is the Yamaha MU128 tone
generator. Those aren't just a terrific XG synthesizer - they're also an
excellent PLG-card organizer... If you only want one or two PLGs, grab an
old MU-100R. You can get an MU128 on ebay for about what a plugstation used
to cost.

G'luck,

not good...
I wonder if they can be made easy or requires a special EPROM etc.
