Computer Control - Yamaha S70 XS Brochure & Specs

Recording Direct to USB Memory
If you've got a USB memory stick or thumb drive, you can plug it into the S70 XS/S90 XS
and record your performance as audio data. This remarkable feature lets you instantly
capture what you play on the keyboard—including arpeggio playback—to your USB device.
If you've connected a microphone or guitar, you can even record your singing or playing
as well. You can also record audio directly to the internal flash memory (192 MB) built
into the instrument, without the need of a memory stick.
And keep in mind that anything you've recorded to the memory stick, even audio files created
on your computer, can be played back on the S70 XS/S90 XS—which means you can create
your own custom audio backing tracks and perform along with them on the S70 XS/S90
XS. For example, you can create a basic song track beforehand, then sing and solo over it
during your performance. Or add guitar parts and vocal harmonies to be played back
with your live performance. There's also a useful Song Chain function that lets you
string together separate recordings and create a convenient
backing track "set list" for your gigs.

Computer Control

The S70 XS/S90 XS is a perfect companion for your computer music production system,
too, serving both as a master keyboard and a full-function, multi-timbral tone generator.
With the DAW Remote function and its 50 different control templates, you get amazingly
easy, intuitive control over your main DAW software and VST instruments—directly from
the panel controls! Special Remote Editor software lets you change and organize these
templates.
Cubase AI---a powerful and versatile audio/MIDI sequencer---is included with the
instrument, giving you complete music production capabilities right out of the box.
And for editing the S70 XS/S90 XS from your computer, there's the S90 XS Voice Editor.
This provides convenient, comprehensive control over absolutely all the sounds,
settings and functions of the S70 XS/S90 XS.
