Yamaha PLG100-VH Vocal Harmony Plug-in Board Owner's Manual
The Yamaha PLG100-VH is a vocal harmony plug-in board designed to expand tone generators and sound cards compatible with the XG Plug-in System. It processes voice input via a microphone or A/D inputs to produce authentic four-part harmonies, including the original voice.
Key features include control over harmony notes via MIDI keyboard or sequencer, automatic chord-based harmony changes, and effects such as gender changing (male/female), vibrato, volume, pan, and detuning. The board requires an XG-compatible host device like the MU128, MU100, or SW1000XG.
