Editing Plug-in Board Voices

Plug-in Voices are based on Board Voices. However, the Board Voices themselves can be edited via computer, using the included editor software. Different editors are available for different Plug-in Boards.

When using the editor while the synthesizer is in Voice Mode, set the “Part No.” in the editor to “1.” Also, make sure the synthesizer’s Basic Receive channel is the same as that set in the editor’s MIDI channel.

Your edits made to a Board Voice will be retained in the Custom Bank until you turn off the instrument. Note that the Custom Bank is a temporary memory so that edits in the Bank will be erased when you turn off the instrument. Therefore, it may be necessary to save Board Voice data using a computer.

(Editor)

Details about how to use the editor are given in the on-line help.

When bulk-dumping Board Voice data, the edited Board Voices is received in the Custom Bank according to the Bank Select Message (MSB/LSB) unique to each Plug-in Board. Therefore, to play back these Board Voices, you need to select the appropriate Banks in the synthesizer.

1In Voice Play Mode, select any Voice in a Plug-in Memory (PLG).

2The Board Voice you have edited can now be played back if a Custom Bank has been selected at this screen.

For details about Custom Banks, Bank Select Numbers (MSB/LSB) and Board Voices, refer to the Owner’s Manual or the on-line help that came with your Plug-in Board.

Once you have transmitted the edited Board Voice data to the synthesizer and saved it to Memory Card as a “plugin” file type, you can load the file without having to connect the computer.

If a Board Voice in the Custom Bank has been edited in Voice Edit Mode, you can store it as a Plug-in Voice in Memory Bank A to D of PLG. Up to 64 can be stored in PLG MEMORY.

However, only the Voice Edit parameters can be stored. The edited Board Voice parameters cannot be stored. Therefore, you will lose all Board Voice edits when you switch your synthesizer off.

99

To avoid this situation, you should save your Board Voice edits to Memory Card and then load the data as a Plug-in Voice.

After loading Board Voice data, if you select Plug-in Voice Memory (PLG) A to D, the stored sound (the edited Plug-in Voice based on the Board Voice) is loaded.

The “all” setting is not available when saving Board Voice data; it is saved as a “plugin” file type. If the file name is set such that the file loads automatically (Page 136), the Board Voice data can also be loaded up when the synthesizer is switched on.

It may take a while to save or load the Board Voice data using Memory Card.

Details about saving/loading data to/from Memory Card are given on Page 137.

The editor for the Plug-in Board is a plug-in program for XGworks(lite). You will need to be running Windows and XGworks(lite) in order to use it. XGworks lite is included on the CD-ROM included with this synthesizer.
