Notice that the Bank is called P1-B. The P1
is the slot, PLUG-IN slot 1. The “B” denotes
Board Voice. When you press EDIT, like
most edit areas of Motif, there are
two
levels the COMMON level (reached via the
dedicated button) and the Element level
(reached via the Track 1 button).

This is the screen where the Motif Voice
targets the PLG-PF Board Voice waveform.
The PLG150-PF sound is recalled here but
you cannot “get at” the individual
elements. In the above screen shot, the
Piano+Choir sound (which is listed as a 3-
element sound) is recalled here as a
combined waveform. You
cannot
get at
the individual Elements (piano and 2 choir)
to select new ones – the way you would
with an internal AWM2 Voice. You will be
able to adjust the relative volumes of the 3
elements through OFFSET parameters that
are provided. Additionally, you can go to
the COMMON level and add Motif controller
sets and Effects. When you are ready to
store your work it will be saved to one of
64 PLG_USR bank locations. The Motif
reserves 64 USER locations for each
PLG150 series board.
The PLG_USR bank (PLG1USR in our
example slot 1) will allow you to create and
store 64 sounds based on the data on the
PLG150-PF board. This Voice data will
remain in memory after power down. And
will be available as long as the PLG150-PF
board has been detected and is in the slot.
What is a Plug-in Voice and what
is a Board Voice?
The PLG_USR bank is initially a blank Motif
bank. It awaits your variations (64) of the
PLG150-PF data. The voice data on the
PLG-PF board are called the
Board Voices
(032/000)
. Instead of using ROM
samples from the host, the PLG-PF Voices
point to sample data that is resident on the
PLG-PF board. The Voice data contained on
the PLG150-PF is based on specially
sampled data – same AWM2 technology as
the internal voices.
Plug-In Voices are Board Voices that have
been integrated with Motif parameters,
controllers and effects. (64 PLG PRE and
64 PLG USR)
The PF board has several banks of sounds
as follows: The numbers represent
MSB/LSB for bank select – (MSB and LSB
Bank Select numbers are used to facilitate
remote changes from a device like a
sequencer and are used in the Motif’s Song
and Pattern MIXING setup. More on that
later).
PLG_USR
= 64 blank locations (Saved in
ALL, ALL VOICE and VOICE EDITOR type
Files). When used in a MIX look for the
MSB/LSB numbers, and Pu1, Pu2, or Pu3
according to which slot, as follows:
If PLG150-PF is in slot 1: 63/24 Pu1
If PLG150-PF is in slot 2: 63/25 Pu2
If PLG150-PF is in slot 3: 63/26 Pu3
What this means is: if your PLG150-PF
board is in slot number 1, then the
PLG1USR bank will be addressed by bank
numbers 63/24. PLG1USR = the 64 empty
locations reserved for the PLG150-PF
detected in slot 1. PLG1USR is Pu1. If your
