I'm thinking of putting a PLG-150 PF in a Yamaha MU-128. Main purpose for a general MIDI unit for practice and possibly as a backup for the Kronos, primarily piano.

It's older technology these days and I never played one. Anyone here familiar with it and how it might compare to today's pianos. I've played the Kontact pianos from a couple years ago and the Kronos. I know it won't be the same but is it useable?

Well, it has 29 MB of samples in ROM at three velocity layers. At that size, they're obviously going to be looped samples..

I would imagine it would be quite serviceable in live use, and probably equivalent to most stage and digital pianos from around 5 years ago. Most current products will trump it though, however there's not much choice in sound modules.

IMHO it's way too expansive for what it is. Those pianos were released prior to the Motif Classic. Those are OLD sounds. The Motif ES, for example, has far better APs and EPs stock on board.

OK. Thanks guys. I'll take another path.

I bough the card for my S90 ES a few years ago and was disappointed with the pianos. I thought the PLG 150-DX was great however as I had a number of DX sounds I wanted to use and came with a bunch of good patches loaded
