This allowed for the synthesizers's preset count to be expanded by plugging in an expansion board. In total, [https://soundprogramming.net/synthesizers/yamaha/yamaha-plg-expansion-boards/ 12] of these boards were produced. A few of them contain just basic sets of waveforms, while others are fully-fledged synthesizers. The "PLG150-AN" for example is technically an {{w|analog synthesizer}}; when it is plugged into a compatible synthesizer, the new set of playable presets added will uniquely generate their sound with the board's analog synthesis. | ||
Along with his Yamaha S90, Kazumi Totaka uses the PLG-150DX and PLG-150VL expansion boards for some songs for ''Pikmin 2''. The boards use {{w|FM synthesis}} and {{w|physical modelling synthesis}} respectively. | Along with his Yamaha S90, Kazumi Totaka uses the PLG-150DX and PLG-150VL expansion boards for some songs for ''Pikmin 2''.
