<hr />
<div>The '''Roland CM''' series is a line of sound modules intended to be used with computers. Each module in the series is essentially a variant of one or two other modules from a different Roland series, but in a uniform plain box design with no panel controls or display.<br />
<br />
== Roland CM-32L ==<br />
{{Photo wanted|right}}<br />
The '''Roland CM-32L''' is a variant of the [[Roland MT-32]] LA synthesis multitimbral sound module, adding sound effects (presumably for use in games).<br />
<br />
== Roland CM-32P ==<br />
{{Photo wanted|right}}<br />
The '''Roland CM-32P''' is a variant of the [[Roland U-110]] PCM synthesis sound module, marketed as a companion device for the MT-32 and CM-32L. The CM-32P includes stereo audio input jacks on the rear, intended to allow for the output of the two devices to be mixed. It is expandable with a PCM card slot, using the same 'SN-U' series ROM cards as the U-110.<br />
<br />
== Roland CM-64 ==<br />
{{Photo wanted|right}}<br />
The '''Roland CM-64''' combines a CM-32L and CM-32P into one box, on separate boards. The two synths are active simultaneously, listening on different MIDI channels.<br />
<br />
== Roland CM-300 ==<br />
{{Photo wanted|right}}<br />
The '''Roland CM-300''' is a variant of the original [[Roland SC-55]] GS sound module.<br />
<br />
== Roland CM-500 ==<br />
{{Photo wanted|right}}<br />
The '''Roland CM-500''' combines a GS sound source (presumably similar to the CM-300) and CM-32L into one box. It has a switch that allows switching between several modes, among others a GS-only mode and a CM-64 emulation mode (the GS sound source emulates the CM-32P).<ref>Roland CM-500 Owner's Manual, page 9.</ref> It does not have a PCM card slot. The GS sound source includes the CM-64 bank,<ref>Roland CM-500 Owner's Manual, pages 31 and 32.</ref> like the SC-55, even though the CM-500 also has a real LA sound source in it.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Alesis PCMCIA''' standard was used across the [[Alesis Quadrasynth series]] as a way to expand the number of editable on-board presets and mixes, or as a way to include new waveforms to be used with the QS composite synthesis engine. It supported up to 8 MB of any mixture of aforementioned extra content.<br />
<br />
Unlike other contemporaries, such as the [[Roland SR-JV80]] series, users were free and encouraged to create their own cards with their own samples, and additionally had support for SampleCell formatted files. A compact disc containing the necessary software for both Windows-based systems and Apple Macintosh computers was frequently included with most Alesis Quadrasynth purchases.<br />
<br />
== Official cards ==<br />
Alesis also provided a number of official card expansions, albeit their rarity makes any information very hard to come by in terms of exact preset/mix counts and waveform additions.<br />
(to do: make a table for this i think it'd be great but also add tables for "generic" cards to detail how many patches/mixes these could *store*)<br />
<br />
== Oddities ==<br />
Despite the standard being comparatively more permissive, in today's world it is very difficult to find compatible PCMCIA flash cards - it requires a specific type of Linear Flash cards, which were only produced by AMD and Intel. It was noted in a Sound on Sound article how difficult this was by the time the QSx.2 upgrades arrived on the market as early as 2003.<ref>[https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/alesis-qs62-qs82 Alesis QS6.2 & QS8.2], ''Sound on Sound'', June 2003, section "Back To The Time Machine...".</ref><br />

[[File:Modular Synthesis Plug-in System logo.png|400px|right|thumb|The Modular Synthesis Plug-in System logo.]]<br />
The '''XG Plug-in System''', is a system developed by Yamaha for expanding [[Yamaha XG]] tone generators.<ref name=mu100-om-plg>[https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/5/333985/MU100E1.pdf Yamaha MU100 Owner's Manual], pages 163 and 164.</ref> Yamaha produced a series of "plug-in boards" (expansion boards) for this system.<ref name=mu100-om-plg /> Unlike some other expansion board systems (e.g. the [[Roland SR-JV80 series]]), these boards do not just add new sounds, but contain an entire synthesis or effects engine on a board, thus potentially providing more polyphony or additional capabilities to their host device. Korg also produced a similar product in their EXB lineup with the [[EXB-MOSS]] board.<br />
<br />
These XG plug-in boards (PLG100-series) can be thought of as the first generation of Yamaha's '''Modular Synthesis Plug-in System''', a branding convention which was established later, with the PLG150-series boards. The two generations are mostly cross-compatible, and the differences between them are not precisely defined. The MU100 and MU128 manuals only refer to the XG Plug-in System, whereas the MU1000 manual mentions both. The PLG100 and PLG150 series boards were later referred to as the 'Standard Series' and 'Professional Series' respectively in Yamaha's product literature. <ref>[https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/brochure/4/324594/msps_en_02.pdf Yamaha Modular Synthesis Plug-in System brochure]</ref>.<br />
<br />
The most obvious, practical difference, is that the onboard non-volatile memory which was added to the specification for the PLG150-series boards, was not made directly accessible via the interface of XG devices. This addition was only available via more studio-oriented host devices, such as the S-series keyboards and MOTIF line, allowing for on-device storage of user patches and settings. There is no fundamental incompatibility with PLG150-series for XG devices other than this limitation, though early firmware revisions of the MU100 apparently have issues with certain boards, requiring the updated firmware 1.11 for full compatibility (originally available from Yamaha on a new ROM chip, part #XU507200).<br />
<br />
The PLG100-SG and PLG100-VL boards include unpopulated [[Waveblaster]] headers, with unused pads for the necessary supporting circuitry— this could suggest that the exact implementation of this system was not a certainty at first. Since these two boards were made available in a software form for Windows, it may have been determined that the inclusion of the waveblaster interface was not needed.<br />
<br />
The [[Yamaha MU100]] and MU100R are the first modules in the [[Yamaha MU series]] to support the system.<br />
<br />
== Boards ==<br />

[[File:XG Plug-in System logo.png|200px|right|thumb|The XG Plug-in System logo.]]<br />
The '''XG Plug-in System''' is a system developed by Yamaha for expanding [[Yamaha XG]] tone generators.<ref name=mu100-om-plg>[https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/5/333985/MU100E1.pdf Yamaha MU100 Owner's Manual], pages 163 and 164.</ref> Yamaha produced a series of "plug-in boards" (expansion boards) for this system.<ref name=mu100-om-plg /> Unlike some other expansion board systems (e.g. the [[Roland SR-JV80 series]]), these boards do not just add new sounds, but contain an entire synthesis or effects engine on a board, thus potentially providing more polyphony or additional capabilities to their host device. Korg also produced a similar product in their EXB lineup with the [[EXB-MOSS]] board.<br />
<br />
Some of the earlier PLG100 boards include unpopulated [[Waveblaster]] headers, with unused pads for the necessary output circuitry, suggesting that the exact implementation of this system was not a certainty at first.<br />
<br />
The PLG100 and PLG150 series board differ in one primary sense: the later 150 series typically include onboard writable memory for user-defined presets, while the earlier 100 series do not. This difference is only relevant for the more studio-oriented host devices, such as the S-series keyboards and MOTIF line, as the MU-series devices offer no facility to write to this memory.<br />
<br />
The [[Yamaha MU100]] and MU100R are the first modules in the [[Yamaha MU series]] to support the system.<br />
<br />
In total, 12 of the '''Yamaha PLG series''' plug-in boards were produced, these included:<br />
<br />
* [[Yamaha PLG100-DX]], is a 16 note polyphonic, six operator FM synthesizer, recreation of the Yamaha DX7. Includes Part EQ, low-pass/high-pass filter and 912 preset voices..<ref name=mu100-om-plg /><br />

The '''Yamaha MU1000''' and '''Yamaha MU2000''' are [[Yamaha XG]] and [[General MIDI]] sound modules in the [[Yamaha MU series]] introduced by Yamaha in 1999. Unlike previous modules in the series, these were released only in Japan, so there is no official English documentation.<br />
<br />
The MU1000 and MU2000 improve upon the [[Yamaha MU128|MU128]] by adding USB, optical digital audio output,<ref name=innovation-road-mu1000 /> more presets (especially drumkits), doubling the number of insert effect units, and greatly increasing the number of effect types. The MU2000 also adds a SmartMedia card slot and sampling functions, which are not present in the MU1000.<ref name=innovation-road-mu1000 /><ref name=innovation-road-mu2000 /><br />
<br />
A software upgrade was released which give the devices 'EX' or expanded status, as reflected on the LCD when the device starts up. Maybe most significantly, official [[Roland GS]] support was added, replacing the [[TG300B mode]] (which was Yamaha's unofficial GS support) it also adds 19 new insert effects and new A/D input presets. Additionally, more digital audio output controls were introduced, allowing for the A/D input to pass directly to the optical output, with a mix mode for the digital output. A three-stage gain setting was added for the digital output (0, +6, +12) and received MIDI parameters were added and modified to allow for control of the expanded digital mixing options. <br />
<br />
Later models which released with the upgrade have GS branding printed in the previously empty space below 'Plug for XG'.'GS' also supplanted the TG300B text at the bottom right of the display, below 'XG'.<br />
(TODO: Does the GS rebrand change anything? It has been said online that the difference was dramatic, with samples being changed to achieve this, need to confirm that.)<br />
<br />
The MU2000 is the most powerful model in the MU series. The subsequent [[Yamaha MU500|MU500]] has less features, but is more compact.<br />

<br />
A software upgrade was released which give the devices 'EX' or expanded status, as reflected on the LCD when the device starts up. Maybe most significantly, official [[Roland GS]] support was added, replacing the [[TG300B mode]] (which was Yamaha's unofficial GS support) it also adds 19 new insert effects. Additionally, more digital audio output controls were introduced, allowing for the A/D input to pass directly to the optical output, with a mix mode for the digital output. A three-stage gain setting was added for the digital output (0, +6, +12) and received MIDI parameters were added and modified to allow for control of the expanded digital mixing options. <br />
<br />
Later models which released with the upgrade have GS branding printed in the previously empty space below 'Plug for XG'.'GS' also supplanted the TG300B text at the bottom right of the display, below 'XG'.<br />
(TODO: Does the GS rebrand change anything? It has been said online that the difference was dramatic, with samples being changed to achieve this, need to confirm that.)<br />
<br />
The MU2000 is the most powerful model in the MU series. The subsequent [[Yamaha MU500|MU500]] has less features, but is more compact.<br />

Later models which released with the upgrade have GS branding printed in the previously empty space below 'Plug for XG' and 'GS' has supplanted the TG300B text at the bottom right of the display, below 'XG'.<br />
(TODO: Does the GS rebrand change anything?)<br />
<br />
The MU2000 is the most powerful model in the MU series. The subsequent [[Yamaha MU500|MU500]] has less features, but is more compact.<br />

The '''Yamaha MU1000''' and '''Yamaha MU2000''' are [[Yamaha XG]] and [[General MIDI]] sound modules in the [[Yamaha MU series]] introduced by Yamaha in 1999. Unlike previous modules in the series, these were released only in Japan, so there is no official English documentation.<br />
<br />
The MU1000 and MU2000 improve upon the [[Yamaha MU128|MU128]] by adding USB, optical digital audio output,<ref name=innovation-road-mu1000 /> more presets (especially drumkits), doubling the number of insert effect units, and greatly increasing the number of effect types. The MU2000 also adds a SmartMedia card slot and sampling functions, which are not present in the MU1000.<ref name=innovation-road-mu1000 /><ref name=innovation-road-mu2000 /><br />
<br />
A software upgrade was released which give the devices 'EX' or expanded status, as reflected on the LCD when the device starts up. Maybe most significantly, the upgrade adds 19 new insert effects, as well as official [[Roland GS]] support, replacing the [[TG300B mode]] (which was Yamaha's unofficial GS support). Additionally, some digital audio output functions were introduced, allowing for the A/D input to pass directly to the optical output, a mix mode was added for the digital output, a three-stage gain setting was added for the digital output (0, +6, +12) and received MIDI parameters were added and modified to allow for control of the expended digital mixing options. <br />
(TODO: Does the GS rebrand change anything?)<br />
Later models which released with the upgrade have GS branding printed in the previously empty space below 'Plug for XG' and 'GS' has supplanted the TG300B text at the bottom right of the display, below 'XG'.<br />
<br />
