Product Description
What is the Modular Synthesis Plug-in System? Powerful Expansion Boards That:
• Expand your sound generation capabilities
• Increase your available polyphony
• Give you more multitimbral parts and effects
• Can be controlled from the host keyboard
• Come bundled with PC software for detailed voice editing. (Software not included but available for download on the Yamaha website)
Yamaha's Modular Synthesis Plug-in System is a revolutionary expansion system that adds a COMPLETE SYNTHESIZER or SOUND PROCESSING ENGINE to any Modular-Synthesis-Plug-incompatible synthesizer. YamahaÕs amazing plug-in board lineup, which includes the PLG150 Professional Series and the PLG100 Standard Series, not only gives you new sounds, but also new synthesis architecture, new effects processors, extra polyphony and more. ItÕs like placing an additional synthesizer or digital effects processor inside your existing keyboardÑbut at a fraction of the cost! Once a plug-in board is installed, you can directly access any of its voices and edit them from the front panel of the host synthesizer. You can also use a PC-based software editor (bundled with each plug-in board) to edit any of the voices in detail. Many voice parameters can be controlled by a MIDI sequencer, which enables you to record realtime edits, such as filter cutoff frequency and effect levels, for automated voice transformation during playback. With the Modular Synthesis Plug-in System, you can customize your Yamaha synthesizer with the exact synthesis or processing power you need...whenever you need it.
PLG150-AN Analog Physical Modeling Plug-in Board
Reproduce the fat and resonant sounds of vintage analog synthesizers. This board gives you a synth engine similar to the one featured in Yamaha’s amazing AN1x analog physical modeling synthesizer. It provides a full array of classic synthesizer components, including fat resonant filters, LFOs, oscillator sync and FM, as well as distortion, 3-band EQ, arpeggiator and step sequencer. For even more expressive synthesis control, it features a powerful “morphing” function and programmable envelope generator with which you can freely draw your own custom envelopes for various parameters. With the PLG150-AN, creating the classic analog strings, brass and bass sounds of the ’70s and ’80s is incredibly easy, making it the ideal plug-in board for producers of contemporary pop/rock music or modern electronic dance music.
