The XG Plug-in System is a system developed by Yamaha for expanding Yamaha XG tone generators.[1] Yamaha produced a series of "plug-in boards" (expansion boards) for this system.[1] 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 the synths they are installed in.
The Yamaha MU100 and MU100R are the first modules in the Yamaha MU series to support the system.
Plug-in boards for the system included:
- PLG100-DX, an FM synthesis board with 912 presets and 16-note polyphony.[1]
- PLG100-VL, a Virtual Acoustic physical modelling synthesis board with 256 presets.[1]
- PLG100-VH, a vocal harmony effects board.[1]
(TODO: expand list with more boards)
