Playing The Master Demo (Selecting Masters) - Yamaha S90 Owner's Manual

Split
You can use the Zone settings to create a "Split" —
dividing the keyboard into two key ranges, at a specific
note (split point).
In the example below, the keyboard is split at C3, with
the lower range used to trigger Arpeggios, and the
upper range used conventionally to play a Voice.

Layer
You can also use the Zone settings to create a "Layer"
— in which the keyboard is used to play two separate
parts simultaneously, in unison with each other.
In the example below, the keyboard plays two Voices in
unison — one an internal Voice, and the other a Plug-
in Voice.

(Selecting Masters)
The S90 has so many powerful features, functions, and
modes, it may seem difficult to understand them all and
grasp how they work together. One good place to start
learning about the various pieces in the S90 puzzle is
the Master mode.
We've programmed a variety of Master programs to
show you how this powerful feature can be used. Try
some of these out now. (You'll be setting up your own
Master programs later in this Guide.)
