Using Zones - Creating A Layer/Split With An External Tone Generator; Master Play Mode - Yamaha S90 Owner's Manual

Using Zones —
Creating a Layer/
Split with an external
tone generator
In the example below, we'll set up three Zones as
shown below. We'll program a split at the note C3. In
the lower range (B2 and lower), a bass voice and
cymbal voice will sound. In the upper range (C3 and
above), we'll layer piano and vibraphone voices —
played from an external MIDI tone generator. Using
this sophisticated setup, you can easily sound like an
entire jazz group, with just your two hands.
In the example instructions here, we'll use the Voice
mode for the Master.
