You can store the settings in this display to Flash
ROM by using this button.
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 func-
tion as one, and are assigned to a
single part (R1, R2, R3, or L), effec-
tively 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.
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-
nal tone generator is used.
See the HINT below for information on how to use
this function effectively.
Using the SONG TG (Tone Generator) Function
For example, when set to INTERNAL:
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
keyboard performance. This is espe-
cially convenient when playing an
Organ Flutes voice, which requires
many notes of polyphony.
In this setup, you can play back up to 48 different parts from
sequencing software on a computer, using the three tone genera-
tors 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.
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.
