Yamaha PLG150-AP Acoustic Piano Plug-In Expansion for Motif, S90, etc. 
With Yamaha's PLG150 Series plug-in expansion boards, customers have a simple way to add new sounds, processing engines and even complete synthesizers to any Modular Synthesis Plug-in compatible model. Yamaha Corporation of America expands the series with the Summer NAMM debut of the piano-packed PLG150-AP.
The PLG150-AP is a 64-note polyphony expander featuring a brand new three-layer sample set from the flagship Yamaha CFIIIS Concert Grand Piano. The newest piano library from Yamaha includes a softer warmer piano sound at low velocity which brightens nicely as notes are struck harder - The best of both worlds!
Compatible with Yamaha's Motif ES, Motif Rack, Motif, S Series, CS Series and PSR9000 Pro product lines, the PLG150-AP also brings new synthesis architecture, effects and polyphony expansion to the host system. As with other Yamaha PLG plug-ins, once the board is installed, users may access and edit any of the voices from the front panel of the host synthesizer.
This is the Plug-In Board that was continuously requested here on the forums at Motifator.com. Indeed, the PLG150-AP is living proof of People Power. Well done Mo.Bros and Mo'Sis's!
This is a 'Triple-Strike' piano board, in other words the acoustic grand piano on which this is based was sampled at three separate velocities. In order that all the nuances of your playing can be handled between the different velocity layers.
During our sneak preview of the AP Board, we learned that Yamaha had assembled the multi-samples using a wide velocity range in order that all the subtleties involved in playing PPP to FFF would faithfully be captured and reproduced within a single voice.
Yamaha conducted an entirely new sampling session for the PLG150-AP; the Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand piano tuned and voiced by a master concert technician and then digitally recorded using state of the art sampling technology.
Delivering some of the finest, and most expressive piano sounds ever available on a synthesizer, the PLG150-AP offers 64-voice polyphony, and comes with two sets of 32 programs, one bank equal tempered, one stretch-tuned.
In addition to the stunningly realistic acoustic piano voices (CF3 Grand 2 is particularly alluring for jazz, finds Yamaha's jazz-maestro Avery Burdette) the AP also contains some innovative, wacky voices that demonstrate some of the board's 4 separate FX blocks (Reverb, Chorus, Insertion, and 2-band EQ).
As with all PLG Boards, the PLG150-AP is compatible with Motif ES, Motif Rack, Motif, S Series, CS Series and PSR9000 Pro product lines, and SW1000XG boards, and will bring new synthesis architecture, effects and unprecedented polyphony expansion to the host system. Once the board is installed, users may access and edit any of the voices from the front panel of the host synthesizer.
This is the perfect expansion for a wide variety of Yamaha products, especially Motif where this brand new sample set beautifully contrasts with the internal Wave ROM, providing a level of choice that no other keyboard on the market even comes close to.
