Using The Category Search Function - Yamaha S90 Owner's Manual

Using the Category Search function

The S90 features a powerful Category Search function that gives you quick access to the sounds you want,
irrespective of their bank locations. Simply select a voice category, such as A. PIANO or SYN LEAD, and you can
browse through all related voices one by one — and audition each of them, too. Plus, you can use the special
Favorites category to store the voices you use most.
