■Plug-in Setting

This lets you set other useful settings for the Plug-in Board.

The explanations here apply to step #4 on page 66.

You can store the settings in this display to Flash

ROM by using this button.

 

 

This function is for Multi Part Plug-in Boards (e.g.,

 

 

PLG150-XG), and lets you select the tone genera-

 

 

tor for XG disk song playback.

 

 

When "SLOT 1" or "SLOT 2" is selected, the

 

 

installed Plug-in Board is used as the tone gener-

 

 

ator for the XG disk song playback.

 

 

When "INTERNAL" is selected, the 9000Pro inter-

Set Auto Load to ON or

nal tone generator is used.

OFF.

This parameter is available when the same (or same type) of Plug-in Boards (e.g., the PLG100-DX and the PLG150-DX) are installed in the two slots. When the appropriate boards are installed and this is set to on, the two boards effectively function as one, and are assigned to a single part (R1, R2, R3, or L), effectively doubling the total polyphony. When this is set to ON, you can select the Plug-in voice only via the [SLOT1] button. Please note that the

[SLOT2] button cannot be used.

•If you have installed a PLG150 Board to SLOT 1 and a PLG100 Board to SLOT 2 (or, in other words, installed a higher level board of the same type to SLOT 1), and have set POLY EXPAN- SION to ON, you may expe- rience certain problems when playing the voices. See page 109.

Using the SONG TG (Tone Generator) Function

• For example, when set to SLOT 1:

 

 

If you are playing back XG song data

 

with the 9000Pro, you can use an XG

 

Plug-in Board installed to Slot 1 as a

 

dedicated tone generator — freeing up

 

the polyphony of the internal tone gen-

 

erator to be used exclusively for your

Slot 1

keyboard performance. This is espe-

cially convenient when playing an

 

Organ Flutes voice, which requires

Slot 2

many notes of polyphony.

 

• For example, when set to INTERNAL:

XG song playback

16 parts

Port 0

Port 1

16 parts

Slot 1

Port 2

Slot 2

16 parts

In this setup, you can play back up to 48 different parts from sequencing software on a computer, using the three tone generators of the 9000Pro: the internal tone generator, and two installed XG Plug-in Boards. To play back the song with the settings above, make the appropriate Thru Port settings (page 173) to 1-8 or OFF, so that the 9000Pro will properly recognize the MIDI Port data.
