Creating Voices; Voice Organization - Yamaha PLG100-VL Bedienungsanleitung

Creating Voices

You can create VL voices using the VL Visual Editor, which is one of the plug-in applications
for the "XGworks" and provided in the included CD-ROM.
For the detailed information about the VL Visual Editor see the on-line manual of the VL Visual
Editor.
The VL voices created by the VL Visual Editor can be loaded to the Custom Voice Bank (p.11)
of the PLG100-VL and played back. However, the loaded data will be lost once you turn off the
"mother" tone generator/sound card. You need to load the data again if you want to use the
voices. You can save the VL voice data in a file as a part of the "XGworks" song data or in an
external MIDI data storage device such as MDF3 as a part of bulk data (voice file).

Voice Organization

The VL voices have each program number and are organized into 12 banks. For the voice list see
page 30.
• Banks 112 through 119: VL-XG Banks
These banks are used when the PLG100-VL functions as the VL-XG tone generator.
The voices from the PRESET 1 and PRESET 2 banks are assigned to MIDI banks and
program change numbers conforming to the Yamaha XG format.
• Bank 000: PRESET 1 (Pr1)
The PRESET 1 bank contains 128 preset voices which have been created primarily to be
played via a keyboard.

About XGworks Plug-in System
The software with this logo attached implies that it is one of the plug-in applications for
the sophisticated music sequencing software "XGworks" and "XGworks lite." The
XGworks Plug-in System expands and enhances the power of the "XGworks" and
"XGworks lite."
• Since the PLG100-VL does not have a full set of XG-compatible voices, some voice numbers will be skipped
(e.g. 22, 23, 25, 27, etc.). If the truncated number is designated, the XG voice having the same program
number in the bank 1 will sound, instead.
