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.
Select the desired board.
Press this to execute the Backup
operation.
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.
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.
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.

Only this note (or one of these notes)
sounds with the Right 1 voice.
