Using as a multi-timbral
tone generator (Multi mode)
The instructions below show how to use this instrument
as a MIDI tone generator. In this case, actual MIDI

on the computer, allowing you to avoid using software
synths and save processing power on your computer.
Setting up the S90 XS/S70 XS

the Multi mode.
2
Select a Multi to be edited.
3
Press the [MIXING] button to call up the
Mixing display.

Set up the Mixing for parts 1 – 16 as
necessary.
From the Mixing display, you can select the Voice and set
various parameters such as pan, volume, balance between
the chorus/reverb and dry sound, insertion effect on/off and
arpeggio on/off. For more detailed editing of the Voices, use
the Multi Part Edit display.
Setting up the DAW of the computer
1

playing via the tone generator of the S90 XS/
S70 XS) to USB Port 1.
When connecting via USB, enter the checkmark to "Yamaha
S90 XS (S70 XS)-1" or "Yamaha S90 XS (S70 XS) Port1."
2
Enter the MIDI data to each track of the DAW
on the computer.

Remote-controlling the
software (Remote mode)
The S90 XS/S70 XS features a highly convenient Remote
mode which lets you control the DAW software and
software synthesizer on your computer via the panel
operations of the S90 XS/S70 XS. For example, you can
start/stop playback of the DAW software on the computer
by using the Function buttons and control the song
position on the DAW software by using the data dial,
[INC] and [DEC] buttons instead of using the mouse or
keyboard of the computer.
The DAW applications Cubase, Logic Pro, SONAR and
Digital Performer can be controlled by the Remote
Control mode of the S90 XS/S70 XS. Up to 50 Control
Templates of the VST Instruments can be stored on the
internal memory of this instrument. Use the S90 XS/S70
XS Remote Editor for editing the Control Template.
NOTE
The S90 XS/S70 XS Remote Editor is installed by installing the
S90 XS/S70 XS Remote Tools. The S90 XS/S70 XS Remote Tools
consists of two components: S90 XS/S70 XS Remote Editor and
S90 XS/S70 XS Extension, which enables you to use the S90 XS/
S70 XS along with Cubase series 4.5 or later.
