Multi Mode; Multi Play; Selecting A Program - Yamaha S70XS Reference Manual

Multi Mode

The Multi mode lets you set up the S90 XS/S70 XS as a multi-timbral tone generator for use with computer-based music
software or external sequencers. If each track in a song file uses a different MIDI channel, you can independently
assign each of the Parts in a Multi to those MIDI channels. In this way, you can play back the song data on a sequencer
with each track playing a different Voice. You can create a Multi containing up to 16 Parts using the internal tone
generator (page 6). Since there is only one bank for the Multis, you need not select a Multi Bank.
NOTE:
About the User Bank of Multis
When shipped from the factory, this tone generator contains a full set of specially programmed 128 User Multis in the User Bank.
If a Multi in a User Bank is overwritten, the User Multi will be lost. When you store the edited Multi, be careful not to overwrite any
important User Multis.

Multi Play

In the Multi Play mode, you can select and play any of the Multis.
Operation
Press the [MULTI/SEQ PLAY] button.

Selecting a Program

The S90 XS/S70 XS features 128 specially programmed Multis, stored to internal User Memory. The Bank consists of
eight Groups (A to H), each of which contains 16 Multi programs. Selecting Multis is done in basically the same way as
selecting Voices. To call up the desired Multi program, select the appropriate Group and Number via the [A] – [H]
buttons and the Number [1] – [16] buttons.
