S90 XS/S70 XS Main Features

 Huge amount of waveforms and vast sound selection, including top-quality piano sounds
The S90 XS/S70 XS features a whopping 142 MB of exceptionally high-quality piano waveforms, including many
newly sampled sounds, and a vast variety of Voices directly derived from the flagship MOTIF XS Music Production
Synthesizer-giving you a total of 456 MB of available waveforms.
 Balanced Hammer Keyboard—with both 88 and 76 keys—provides natural touch and
response
The S90 XS/S70 XS features a sophisticated Balanced Hammer Keyboard (with Initial Touch/Aftertouch) which utilizes
Yamaha's long-standing know-how cultivated in its acoustic piano and synthesizer development. The 88-key model
gives you full-scale piano performance, while the smaller 76-key model offers greater portability and ease in
transporting.
 Performance Creator
The S90 XS/S70 XS features a Performance Creator function which provides quick and easy Layer/Split /Drum Assign
assignments of your original Performances based on your favorite Voices. You can utilize the current effects and
settings of the Voices, allowing you to come up with your own original Voices very quickly.
 Intuitive Panel Composition
The buttons, Knobs and Sliders are well designed and logically placed for optimum, intuitive operation, especially in
live performance. For example, you can quickly select a Part, use the Part switch to turn it on/off, set the Arpeggio
switch on/off, switch Arpeggio Hold on/off—all with the top panel controls—and edit important parameters via the
Knobs and Sliders. A convenient Panel Lock function, which prevents unintended changes during performance, and
a Tap Tempo function for the Arpeggio are also available on the top panel.
 Audio Rec/Play Function
You can record your performance to a USB storage device or internal flash memory as a wave file, or you can play
back audio files which have been created on DAW software. You can also play the keyboard along with audio file
playback via the Audio Rec/Play function.
 DAW Remote Function
The S90 XS/S70 XS features a DAW Remote function for music production convenience. This allows you to store 50
different control templates and have easy, intuitive control over your main DAW software and VST instruments directly
from the panel controls of the S90 XS/S70 XS.
 Voice Editor and Remote Editor for Detailed Editing
When using Cubase series software compatible with VST3 technology, the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor VST can be
conveniently used in the same manner as software VST instruments for editing the detailed parameters. When using
in stand-alone mode, the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor for Studio Manager V2 is also available to edit the detailed
parameters. For setting of the Remote Control function and the Remote Template, the S90 XS/S70 XS Remote Editor
allows you to manage them. You can download them on our web site.
