Yup...this appears to be a small bug (or is it a feature?) in how the XG
devices handle the PLG boards.

Theoretically the PLG board should replace the voice generation of a single
XG part (although you can still use the XG sound shaping and effect
parameters on the output of the AN PLG).

However experimentation has shown that in certain circumstances the XG
devices become confused....and can actually sound both the PLG board and the
XG part they replace!

Since in XGedit you will normally not have set up an XG voice on the part
used by the PLG board....then the default voice will sound in these cases
(i.e. Grand Piano).

The correct solution is to Refresh the XG device from the XGedit
Util/Refresh menu (this will reconfigure all the XG parameters). Then to
refresh the PLG150AN from the An1xEdit Util/Refresh menu (this will
reconfigure the XG part for use by the AN board and re-send the edited voice
to the PLG board).
