Board Custom Voice Backup

Any editing you do to the Board Custom Voices (via computer connected to the 9000Pro) is lost when you turn off the power of the 9000Pro. If you want to keep your original voice data, you can use the Board Custom Voice Backup function to back up the edited Board Custom Voices to Flash ROM.

The illustration below applies to step #5 of the Basic Procedure on page 101.

• Some Plug-in Boards (e.g., the PLG100-DX and the PLG100- VL) do not support this func- tion, even though the Board Custom Voices are available.

Press this to execute the Backup operation.

Select the desired board.

Troubleshooting when using the Plug-in Boards

General information on how to use the Plug-in Voices is given on pages 42, 43, 64 - 69, and 100 - 108. This section explains some important details concerning the Plug-in Boards that are not covered in these pages.

■Using the VL Plug-in voices with Harmony function (page 164)

If you are using one of the VL Plug-in Boards (or a monophonic Plug-in voice), the Harmony effect cannot be used as normal. It is because this type of voice cannot be played polyphoni- cally.

For example, when the Plug-in voice using the PLG150-VL board is selected as the Right 1 voice and Harmony Assign is set to R1, the following problem happens.

Main note (you play)

 

 

This note does not sound.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Harmony note(s)

 

 

Only this note (or one of these notes)

 

 

 

 

 

sounds with the Right 1 voice.

 

 

 

An alternate solution for this is to assign a different voice to the Harmony part, as shown in the example settings below.

•Right 1 ................... Plug-in voice using the PLG150-VL board (e.g., Tenor Sax)

•Right 2 ................... 9000Pro preset voice (e.g., Miller Night)

•Part R1 and R2...... ON

•ASSIGN................. R2

This workaround lets you play the monophonic Plug-in voice for the melody, and use a different, yet complementary sound for the Harmony part.

Main note (you play)

 

 

The Right 1 voice sounds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Harmony note(s)

 

 

The Right 2 voice sounds.
