Welcome

A message from the S90 XS/S70 XS Development Team
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha S90 XS/S70 XS Music Synthesizer.
We're extremely proud to introduce the new S90 XS/S70 XS as the successor to the original S90 ES. Equipped with
exceptionally high-quality musical instrument sounds and a real piano-feel response, this is truly the instrument of choice
for musicians and players worldwide, whatever the genre. Drawing on our long experience cultivated through years of
synthesizer development, we designed this model not only for top professional musicians, but also for casual players
and hobby musicians who want to have a greater level of high-quality sound, playability and advanced features—
especially in live performance applications. To complete this lineup, we've added the S70 XS, a 76-key model which
maintains the same keyboard touch as the 88-key model, yet provides the added value of portability.
The advanced and convenient features of the S90 XS/S70 XS do not stop there. The Remote Control functions and the
Master Keyboard features have been enhanced and made more powerful to meet the demands of professional music
production. We are proud and confident that the S90 XS/S70 XS can aid in your music making, and we're sure that it will
be your first 'go-to' instrument in music situation, live performance, recording and so on.
In order to take full advantage of the S90 XS/S70 XS's functionality, please read this manual carefully. We also
recommend that you keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference.
We really hope that the S90 XS/S70 XS will help your creativity and musical work grow by leaps and bounds.
Enjoy!
