Cs1X Main Operating Modes - Yamaha CS1X Owner's Manual

The CS1x has two main operating modes: Performance mode and Multi
Play mode. The chief distinction between each mode is as follows:
• Performance mode is primarily for realtime performance of Layers . It
has six menus of Edit parameters.
• Multi Play mode is primarily for multitimbral playback of up to 16
Parts when external MIDI devices are connected. It has one menu of
Edit parameters. You can also use the CS1x as a MIDI data input
device for an external sequencer.
Utility mode lets you modify System and MIDI parameters which affect
both Performance and Multi Play mode. (For more information about
Utility mode, see page 40.)
Store mode lets you store your own User Performances and Scenes. (For
more information about Store mode, see page 44.)
Performance
Mode
If you're in a different mode, press the PERFORMANCE button to enter
Performance mode.
In Performance Play mode you can select a Performance from 128 Preset
Performances and 128 User Performances and begin playing.
A Performance is comprised of up to four "Layers", or AWM2 voices
sounding at once—either playing simultaneously across the length of the
keyboard, or playing independently according to specified key and
velocity ranges.
There are many Performance parameters which you can edit by offsetting
parameter values—i.e., adding to or subtracting from the values which
are preset for each voice. There are basically two ways to go about offsetting
the parameters—by turning the Sound Control Knobs, or using the Edit
Parameter Rotary Switch and Parameter Value UP/DOWN buttons.
Changing any parameter will automatically engage Performance Edit
mode. (You can easily switch back Performance Play mode by pressing
the PERFORMANCE button or PROGRAM [–]/[+] button.)

Turning the Sound Control Knobs will give you direct access to the AMP
EG and FILTER parameters, thus providing analog-style realtime control
over key characteristics of the sound. You can also save up to two
"snapshots" of knob positions in Scenes, which can be instantly recalled
at the touch of a SCENE button.
Another way to edit a Performance is with the Edit Parameter Rotary
Switch and Parameter Value UP/DOWN buttons. These give you control
over both "Common" parameters which affect all Layer voices equally,
and "Layer" parameters which affect individual Layers, or AWM2 voices.

Parameter Value UP/DOWN Buttons
In Performance mode there are six Edit menus of Common and Layer
parameters which can be accessed via the Edit Parameter Rotary Switch
and modified with the Parameter Value UP/DOWN buttons.
Try changing the voice assignments to each Layer. This is a quick and
effective way to create an entirely new Performance, which you can
easily store as a User Performance.
Assigning voices to the Layers is simple. Choose the Layer (1~4) with the
PART/LAYER [–]/[+] buttons, and select from a variety of AWM2
instrument voices and drum voices using the Bank and Program
Parameters (Layer Edit 4, sixth row from the top).
