PLG150-AN

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.

Powerful Expansion Boards That:

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.

Note: Bundled editors are software plug-ins developed for XGworks sequencing software (Windows 95/98.

Offering new synthesis possibilities ranging from physical modeling to FM synthesis, these high-quality plug-in boards cater to specific synthesizer needs of professional users. Each plug-in board within the PLG150 Series comes bundled with special "Plug-in Voice" data that makes full use of the exclusive features found on the S80, S30, CS6x and CS6R synthesizers.

Note: PLG150 Series plug-in boards and the PLG100-VH and PLG100-XG plug-in boards can be installed together in any combination in the S80 or CS6x/6R. Using previously released plug-in boards (PLG100-VL and PLG-DX), however, may result in 1) loss of edited voice data when the power is off, or 2) no sound output; therefore it is recommended to install the tuned-up versions (PLG150-VL and PLG150-DX) in these synthesizers.
