209 Question: Where will I be able to buy the PLG100 boards?
Answer: Most Yamaha dealers worldwide should have them available. Check out the Where
to go page at http://www.yamaha.co.uk/ for more info.
210 Question: Can I make up my own cable to run several PLG100 series daughterboards
directly off the SW1000XG?
Answer: Not as yet. As the current draw for each board is quite high, tagging multiple boards
may produce problematic results.
211 Question: Will adding a PLG100 board to the SW1000XG have any effect on the
functionality of the SW1000XG?
Answer: Yes, it will improve it! Apart from that, no it doesn’t affect any of the functions of the
SW1000XG. They also consume virtually none of the host card CPU power, as they all have on
board processing of their own.
212 Question: Do I lose polyphony by using the audio channels on playback or record?
Answer: No, you get 64 note poly (or 80 with the PLG100DX) no matter how much DSP
processing you are using. (Try doing that on your 600 dollar ISA card (no names mentioned!).
213 Question: Can I modulate the effects send levels on the analog inputs whilst I am recording
audio?
Answer: Yes.
214 Question: If I plug a mic or any audio source in to the analog input on the card, will the audio
come out of the digital out. (Therefore making it not only a fully functional multi effects buss
card, but also a 20-bit analog to digital converter?
Answer: Yes.
215 Question: Does the DS2416 have a physical or virtual MIDI port on it?
Answer: No, there is no MIDI port on the DS2416.
216 Question: Can I plug two microphones into the SW1000XG?
Answer: The input is stereo, so if you have the right cables, then yes. AD1 and AD2 part
inputs are treated as independent ports if required.
217 Question: The SW1000XG has a MIDI port connector. Can I use my existing joystick style
cable with it?
Answer: No, the adapter is custom made and requires none of the extra cost or circuitry of the
joystick style cables. The correct cable is supplied with the SW1000XG in the package.
218 Question: What motherboards have the SW1000XG and the DS2416 been tested on?
Answer: Here is a list of motherboards that have been tested in house at Yamaha UK and
shown to work well:;Intel 430HX/VX/BX/TX/LX/FX (check on TX with your board supplier);SIS
5571;SIS 5591;ETEQ EQ82c662x;Acer Aladdin4;Asus HX/VX/BX;Any board that complies with
the PCI2.1 spec and features a 5V buss master capable PCI slot should work fine. Please see
notes on BIOS settings and IRQ steering further in this FAQ.
219 Question: Should the SW1000XG be attached with screws to the PC?
Answer: The Backplate is also the analog ground, so please tighten up the screws, and use
the screws provided with your PC to attach the SW1000XG. If you do not, you may find you get
ground noise.
