Maintaining Data - Yamaha S90 ES Owner's Manual

Maintaining data

Maintaining data
As you use the S90 ES, you'll create many different kinds of data, including Voices, Performances, and Multis. This section
describes how to maintain the various data.
Store
This is a process of transferring or saving the created data of this synthesizer to a dedicated location (User Memory) in the
internal memory. Each type of data can be stored with the following operations.
Voice
Performance
Multi
Master
System settings
* Please note that pressing the [STORE] button in the Utility mode immediately starts the Store operation for the System settings.
CAUTION
Never attempt to turn off the power while an "Executing..." or "Please keep power on" message is shown. Turning the power off in this state may cause
the system to freeze and prevent normal startup the next time the power is turned on, as well as resulting in the loss of all user data.
Save
[FILE] [F2] SAVE
This is a process of transferring or saving the created data of this synthesizer to a USB storage device. This process can be
done in the File mode. The Save operation can be done via various methods, such as saving all data as a single file or
saving a specified type of data (e.g., only Voices) as a single file. For details, refer to page 168.
The saved data as files can be recalled by loading them in the File mode.
Bulk Dump
This function lets you save the data in the S90 ES by transmitting it as Bulk data (system exclusive message) to an external
MIDI instrument or sequence software on a computer.
Sending the editing current program as Bulk Dump data
From each display, you can send the data of the program currently being edited on the S90 ES panel as Bulk Dump data.
Voice
Performance
Multi
Master
Sending other data as Bulk Dump data
The data of Voice, Performance, Multi, Master, and System settings can be transmitted to an external MIDI instrument or
computer upon reception of a bulk request message. For details about the bulk request message and bulk dump format,
see the separate Data List.
n
User Arpeggio data and some of the System settings are not handled as Bulk data.
Using the Voice Editor and Multi Part Editor
Voice and Plug-in Voice data can be transmitted to a computer for editing with the Voice Editor software (page 79). The
edited Voice on the instrument itself data can then be transmitted back to the instrument in banks as bulk data. Similarly,
Voice data created in the Voice Edit mode can be sent to the computer in banks as bulk data.
Multi data can also be transmitted to a computer for editing, using the Multi Part Editor software (page 79). The edited Multi
data can then be transmitted back to the instrument as bulk data. Multi data created in the Multi Edit mode on the instrument
itself can also be sent to the computer in banks as bulk data.
