Important Notices

The AN Expert Editor provides an easy, intuitive way to edit and create your own original

AN voices for the PLG150-AN Plug-in Board.

Do not use any of the panel controls on an external synthesizer while editing the AN

voices with the AN Expert Editor, since this may inadvertently change the settings of the

PLG150-AN.

About the AN Expert Editor

The AN Expert Editor is providing an exceptionally simple, convenient and intuitive way

to edit and control all of the AN parameters on the PLG150-AN Plug-in Board. Virtual

“knobs,” “buttons” and a special “LCD display” let you change parameters just as if you

were operating an actual synthesizer control panel!

The AN Expert Editor lets you save your edits as an original User voice and store up to

128 User voices and User Step Sequencer patterns. Naturally, you can save the data

to ﬂoppy disks or your hard disk drive as AN Expert Files. The AN Expert Editor also

features a convenient, easy-to-use AN Librarian that lets you organize your User voices.

Editing on the AN Expert Editor is done from the Main Window.

For general instructions and explanations on how to use the AN Expert Editor, see Set-

ting and Changing Parameter Values and Toolbar. For information on speciﬁc, com-

monly used operations, see Operations.

Operations

• The following information pertains only to the Plug-in Editor.

In order to play and edit the PLG150-AN, the AN voice must be assigned to a Part on

the tone generator/sound card. This can be done from two separate menus on the AN

Expert Editor: the initial Select AN Part Pop-up Menu (which appears automatically

whenever you start the AN Expert Editor) and AN Expert Editor Setup.

■

Select AN Part Pop-up Menu.......................................

• [Cancel] button may not be available depending on the editor you use.

Select the desired Part.

The Select AN Part pop-up menu appears when you ﬁrst call up the AN Expert Edi-

tor. Select the desired Part from the Part combo box.

• When using a Modular Synthesis Plug-in System “mother” device, the Part assignment

depends on which mode is used — Voice or Performance — and also on whether the PLG150-

AN board is installed/assigned to PLG1 or PLG2, as described below.

When using the Voice mode:

Set the Part to “1” (no matter what the PLG1 or PLG2 assignment is).

When using the Performance (Multi) mode:

If the PLG150-AN board is assigned to PLG1, set the Part to “16.”

If the PLG150-AN board is assigned to PLG2, set the Part to “15.”

Click “OK.”

• Click “Details” to call up the AN Expert Editor Setup menu for making more detailed settings.

■

Using the AN Expert Editor Setup..............................

Even after you’ve set the AN Part from the pop-up menu, you can change the setting

during an editing session from the AN Expert Editor Setup dialog box.

Select “AN Expert Editor Setup.”

While the AN Expert Editor is active and selected, click “Setup” on the menu bar,

then select “AN Expert Editor Setup.” (Keyboard shortcut: [Alt], [U], [U], then

[ENTER].)

• “AN Expert Editor Setup” can also be selected from the toolbar.

Select the desired Part.

Do this from the Part No. combo box in the MIDI tab. Make other settings if neces-

sary. (See AN Expert Editor Setup.)

Click “OK.”

Operations /

Selecting an AN Voice

Selecting an AN voice is the important ﬁrst step in editing. You can select a voice from

Preset 1, Preset 2, or User banks (each of which contains 128 voices). Once you’ve

edited a voice you can store it to the User bank as your original voice and save it to a

ﬂoppy disk/hard disk drive with other voices as an AN Expert File.

AN voices can be selected from either the Edit Panel window or the main control panel

window.

• Make sure to store your edits to a voice before selecting another voice. If you’ve edited the

AN Expert Editor parameters and then select a different voice, all your edited parameters will

be initialized to the default values of the newly selected voice.

Select “AN Voice List.”

Click the VOICE button at the bottom right of the main control panel.

You can also quickly call up this dialog box by right-clicking any inactive part of the

window (on the Macintosh, click while holding the CONTROL key) and clicking “AN

Voice List” in the pop-up menu. Or, you can click “Edit” on the menu bar, then

select “AN Voice List.” (Keyboard shortcut: [Alt], [E], [V].)

Select the desired voice.

Click on the desired voice, then close the dialog box (click the close button) to

return to the main control panel window. (You can also do this by clicking anywhere

on the main control panel.)

Selecting an AN Voice

Operations /

Editing an AN Voice

Select the desired voice.

Refer to Selecting an AN Voice.

Edit the voice parameters as desired from the main control

panel.

The main window of the AN Expert Editor provides a “virtual” control panel with

knobs and buttons, and lets you edit the voices much as you would if you were

operating an actual hardware synthesizer.

Store the edited settings as a User voice, then save it with other

edited voices as an AN Expert File.

Use the Store operation to store your newly edited voice. Then use the Save oper-

ation to save that edited voice with other User voices to an AN Expert File.

Both the Store and Save operations are necessary to ensure that your voice is

saved properly. Failing to do so would be roughly similar to writing a letter but not

putting it in an envelope and sending it. Make sure to execute both operations

when you wish to keep a voice you’ve edited.

Editing an AN Voice

Operations /

Initializing an AN Voice to the Default Settings

This function allows you to reset all the parameters of the selected voice to the factory

“initial voice” default values. This gives you a “blank slate” from which you can create

your own voice.

Keep in mind that this operation automatically erases all the settings of the selected

voice. If you wish to save the voice for future recall, use the Store and Save functions.

Select “AN Voice List.”

Click the VOICE button at the bottom right of the main control panel.

You can also quickly call up this dialog box by right-clicking any inactive part of the

window (on the Macintosh, click while holding the CONTROL key) and clicking “AN

Voice List” in the pop-up menu. Or, you can click “Edit” on the menu bar, then

select “AN Voice List.” (Keyboard shortcut: [Alt], [E], [V].)

Select the User bank and the desired voice to be initialized.

Click on the User bank button, then click on the desired voice.

Initialize the voice.

Click the “Voice Init” button in the dialog box. The speciﬁed voice is initialized and

automatically selected for editing.

To return to the main control panel window, close the dialog box (click the close but-

ton). (You can also do this by clicking anywhere on the main control panel.)

• If you want to initialize all User voices, then click on the “INIT ALL” button in the AN Librarian

window.

Initializing an AN Voice to the Default Settings

Operations /

Storing an AN Voice

This operation lets you store your voice edits as a User voice.

• To ensure that your new voice is available for future recall, make sure to also save the voice

(with other voices) to an AN Expert File.

Select “AN Store.”

Click the red STORE button at the bottom right of the main control panel.

You can also quickly call up this dialog box by right-clicking any inactive part of the

window (on the Macintosh, click while holding the CONTROL key) and clicking “AN

Store” in the pop-up menu. Or, click “Edit” on the menu bar, then select “AN Store.”

(Keyboard shortcut: [Alt], [E], [S].)

Select the destination voice.

Click on the desired voice in the dialog box. Keep in mind that this voice will be

erased and replaced with the newly edited voice.

Store the voice.

Click the “Store” button in the dialog box. The newly edited voice is stored to the

selected location.

• This operation deletes the original voice data at the destination.

• Keep in mind that this operation stores your voice data only into the User voice memory of

the AN Expert Editor and sends the current voice’s bulk data to the PLG150-AN. The current

voice bulk data will be lost if you select another voice on the panel of the plug-in “mother”

device. If you want to select a voice on the panel of the “mother” device, you should ﬁrst

transmit the User Voice. (Refer to Transmit AN Bulk Dump Data in the AN Expert Editor Setup,

Insert & Transmit tab.) There is no need to transmit AN Bulk Dump Data if you select a voice

in the Voice List of the AN Expert Editor, since the current voice bulk data is sent with that

operation.

• The User voice data of the PLG150-AN is lost when the “mother” device is turned off. In order

to store User voices on a Modular Synthesis Plug-in System compatible instrument that have

been edited/created with the computer-based AN Expert Editor (or with the compatible instru-

ment itself), you’ll need to use an external memory device, such as a memory card. For

details on storing voices, refer to the owner’s manual of your Modular Synthesis Plug-in Sys-

tem compatible instrument.

Storing an AN Voice

Operations /

Saving data to an AN Expert File

Calling Up data from an AN Expert File (Open)

Once you’ve edited an AN voice and pattern to your satisfaction you can save it to an

AN Expert File. Each AN Expert File can contain up to 128 voices and 128 Step

Sequencer patterns, and these can be called up at any time with the Open function.

(Also see Calling Up data from an AN Expert File.)

Additional AN Expert ﬁles (each with 128 User voices and 128 User Step Sequencer

patterns) can be saved to ﬂoppy disks or your hard disk drive --- giving you unlimited

storage for your original voices. For organizing the voices in the AN Expert Files, use

the convenient AN Librarian function.

Select “Save AN Expert File.”

Click “File” on the menu bar, then select “Save AN Expert File.” (Keyboard shortcut:

[Alt], [F], [W].)

• “Save AN Expert File” can also be selected from the toolbar.

Select the desired folder, type in the ﬁle name, and click “Save.”

Once you’ve saved a set of User voices and User Step Sequencer patterns to one or

more AN Expert Files (see Saving Voices), you can instantly call up the desired voices

with this command.

To create a new AN Expert File, use the New AN Expert File command.

Select “Open AN Expert File.”

Click “File” on the menu bar, then select “Open AN Expert File.” (Keyboard short-

cut: [Alt], [F], [R].) Open AN Expert File is also available on the toolbar.

Select the desired folder and ﬁle name, then click “Open.”

• Keep in mind that this operation loads the User voice and Step Sequencer pattern data only

into the User voice memory of the AN Expert Editor. After opening a ﬁle, if you want to play

with these Voices or Step Sequencer patterns separate from the AN Expert Editor, you should

transmit the User voice or Step Sequencer pattern data. (Refer to Transmit AN Bulk Dump

Data in the AN Expert Editor Setup, Insert & Transmit tab.) There is no need to transmit AN

Bulk Dump Data if you select a voice in the Voice List of the AN Expert Editor, since the cur-

rent voice bulk data is sent with that operation.

Operations /

Inserting Edited Voice Data to a Track

• The following information pertains only to the Plug-in Editor.

User voice (or User Step Sequencer pattern) data can be inserted to a host applica-

tion's track (using Insert AN Bulk Dump Data). By inserting appropriate data at appro-

priate points in the song, you can have the AN voices change automatically as needed.

Select “AN Expert Editor Setup.”

Click “Setup” on the menu bar, then select “AN Expert Editor Setup.” (Keyboard

shortcut: [Alt], [U], [U], [ENTER].)

• “AN Expert Editor Setup” can also be selected from the toolbar.

Select the “Insert & Transmit” tab.

Click on the desired settings.

Click “OK.”

Select “Insert AN Bulk Dump Data” from the Setup menu (key-

board shortcut: [Alt], [U], [I]), or from the toolbar.

Set the location (Track, Measure, Beat, and Clock).

Click “OK.”

By using the Insert and Extract functions together, you can record and recall your edits as

needed — giving you an unlimited amount of “undos.” For each major edit, use Insert to save

the edited condition to a section of a track (inserting each edit to subsequent sections of the

same track). Then, to recall any given edit, use the Extract function and select the appropriate

range of measures.
