Overview of the PLG150-PF
The PLG150-PF is a sophisticated tone generator board that provides realistic piano and other key-
board sounds. Utilizing Yamaha’s state-of-the-art AWM2 tone generation system along with true
stereo sampling, the PLG150-PF features exceptionally rich, natural and authentic instrument
voices, to augment the sound palette on the “mother” device.

Easy Installation
Once it is connected, the PLG150-PF automatically becomes another sound source in the tone gener-
ator/sound card, and can be used as one of the instrument Parts. You can create your own original PF
voices and combine PF voices with the other voices in the “mother” device.

136 Voices and 64-note Polyphony
The PLG150-PF is packed with a total of 132 rich and authentic keyboard voices. Many of the acous-
tic grand piano sounds have been recorded in stereo for enhanced realism and luxurious tone. The
PLG150-PF also has a huge variety of realistic electric piano voices, covering a broad stylistic range
— from the classic keyboards of the ‘60s and ‘70s, to the crisp and bright digital sounds of recent
years. In addition to the electric grand, harpsichord and clav voices, a variety of combination voices
are also included, letting you play sustained pad and choir sounds, layered with piano. A maximum
64-note polyphony lets you play complex sustained chords and passages, without worrying about
notes being cut off. (For certain stereo and combination voices, the polyphony may be 32 notes or
less.)

Built-in Effects
The PLG150-PF also has its own dedicated effects processing. This means that you can apply EQ,
Reverb, Chorus, and even a Insertion effect to the voice, letting you use all of the effects on the
“mother” device for the other Parts.ong.
