About the PLG100-DX
Features of the PLG100-DX
• Features the same FM tone generator that has won acclaim in the DX
series synthesizers.
The PLG100-DX employs an FM tone generator system, with six operators and 32
algorithms, that has been a favorite of musicians in DX series synthesizers like the
DX7 and the DX7II.
• Maximum 16 voice simultaneous polyphony
Ensures maximum 16 voice simultaneous polyphony equal to the DX7 and DX7II.
Furthermore, by installing multiple PLG100-DX boards, the maximum polyphony can
be increased to 128 voices (when eight boards are installed). By installing, for ex-
ample, three PLG100-DX boards in the MU128 tone generator, maximum polyphony
will be 48 voices.
• 912 preset voices
The PLG100-DX already has 912 preset voices built right in. From electric piano to
bass, and reaching all the way to effect sounds, the preset voices have been selected for
usability centering on the sounds that made the DX series famous.
• Voice data can be exchanged in bulk between the DX7 and the DX7II
Because the PLG100-DX is compatible with the DX series, it can be used for bulk
transfer of voice parameters between the DX7 and the DX7II. The DX7 and DX7II can
be used as editors for the PLG100-DX. By using the edit software for the DX7 and the
DX7II, editing can be done for the PLG100-DX. Voice parameters for the DX1, DX7S,
TF1 (such as the TX816) TX7 and the TX802 are also supported.
• Some voices may sound slightly different than the voices of the devices mentioned above.
• Comes equipped with a low pass filter, a high pass filter and a two-band
equalizer.
A low pass filter, a high pass filter and a two-band equalizer have been installed in the
PLG100-DX. These features can be used together with the voice editing parameters for
the FM tone generator to create new voices. Even if you install the PLG100-DX in a
platform that doesn’t have these functions, the filters and EQ built into the PLG100-
DX will work.
• Compatible with the XG Plug-In system
Because the PLG100-DX is an XG plug-in board, it can be installed in any XG plug-in
tone generator, like the MU128.
Installing the PLG100-DX
To install your PLG100-DX board, see the manual that came with the “mother” tone gen-
erator (such as the MU128 or SW1000XG) or synthesizer.
