Hi Wan

Read your posting through the list that you have a PLG150-AN hooked-up to
your Motif and wondered if I could ask a couple of questions?

I have a Motif8 with 3 x PLG150 cards fitted :-

SLOT 1 = PLG150-PF
SLOT 2 = PLG150-AN
SLOT 3 = PLG150-VL

I've been downloading Custom Plug-in voices for the three cards, including
the PLG150-AN but have noticed the Plug-in voice effects are not transmitted
with SYSEX dumps and therefore the effects are a little wanting in relation
the the actual preset voice effects..

When editing the 128 User bank on the PLG150-AN am I supposed to edited the
effects before I transfere these to the 64 Voice PLG Plug-In bank?

I did notice I could edit all voice effects, system and Insert from the
Motif Voice Editor/Librarian on my computer and then transmit this over
USB/MIDI but this seems like a lot of work just to get the PLG voices to
have similar effects as the preset voices and indeed the built-in Motif
voices.. Surley there's a more simpler solution to this?

I remember on my Korg Trinity (Which I sold over a year ago)I could copy
both voice and insert effects from voice to voice, combi to combi and indeed
insert this into a track in the sequencer but not on the motif sporting
these PLG cards - seems like a lot of work editing 3 x 64 voices to improve
on basic system reverb..

I'm experiencing difficulties knowing which effects to use to the "Best of
Yamaha" AN1X/PLG150-AN voices I've downloaded from the web, as well as my
other PLG cards so any pointers, and or help would indeed be appreciated..
Taking the PLG150-AN as a starting point and then I can use the information
and move to the other cards.. I have noticed that the PLG150-VL card does
retain the effects for custom Plug-In voices so this card's ok.. Just the
PLG150-PF and PLG150-AN cards seem to possess little or no effects when
dumping SYSEX voices to the cards..

Thanks..
