PLG150-AN Technical Specifications

PLG150-AN Technical Specifications

Type of Unit

PLG 150 Series Daughterboard

Tone Generator

Analog Physical Modeling Synth (VOP3 Processor); 2xVC0 (Sync and FM), Ring Modulation, Noise, 2xLFO, PEG, VCF, FEG, VCA, AEG

Polyphony

5 notes (PER PLG Board)
Note: Using this on the SW1000XG using its loopback function renders this figure redundant, as once you have recorded 1 part, you can simply choose another voice and record another 5 notes on a second track, thus making the polyphony limitless

Multi Timbres

(Internal only) 1 Part

Voice

256 ROM memory locations, unlimited User voices using SysEx dump

Pattern Generator

Arpeggiator, Loop sequencer (via software front end)

Free EG

4 tracks per voice, max 16 seconds per track

Effects

6 buss/24 bits/170+ effect types via SW1000XG DSP processing (Extra effects buss from guitar amp simulator built onto PLG board coupled with multiband EQ)

Terminals

PLG150-CN connector adapter, PLGCN connector for future expansion.

Compatible With

SW1000XG, MU100, MU100R, MU128, CS6X, CS6R, S80

Host Computer CPU Use

0%

Output

Multiple digital interface connectors (to SW1000 and future expansion boards). Can also be streamed via digital out of SW or via multiple internal digital outs to DS2416 (1 part)

PLG150-AN Feature Summary

Significant new features (as documented on the Yamaha PLG150-AN page) are as follows:

MULTISAW with detune & mix on just 1 oscillator, making for some FAT patches. It can also be combined with VCO 2 for some truly huge sounds. Not found on the original AN1x, this expressive new multisaw waveform adds a whole new set of sound capabilities and life to the PLG150-AN board. And makes it very easy to copy the sounds of other JAYPEE type instruments!

Unison Mode for even bigger sounds using the new MULTISAW.

Some other new waveforms (triangle anyone?)

New modulation routings and options.

3 Band parametric EQ independent of the EQ on the SW1000XG, and also an independent programmable AMP simulator to add some grunge to your synth voice.

Oscillator sync from oscillator 2 to 1, 1 to 2, again something not on the original.

PEG envelope now includes attack as well as release.
