Master Effects; Master Eq - Yamaha S90XS Manual

The XS Editor allows you to drop into full Voice
Edit for any Voice while still in the MULTI mode.
Simply select the PART by number and click on
the EDIT overlay to view and edit all components
of the VOICE.
This allows you to edit a Voice and its two
Insertion Effects (provided the INSERT SWITCH is
active for the PART) while you are using the
sequencer so that edits can be done in the context
of the music sequence. When you STORE this
edited Voice it will automatically replace the Voice
in your MULTI in a special "MIX VOICE" bank
location.
What this means
automatically be restored when you load the file
or recall the stored Multi. The Mix Voice bank is
like having an additional storage location for your
customized sounds – allowing you to edit a sound
for a particular composition without having to
overwrite a regular USER Voice location. Each
Multi Mix has 16 Mix Voice locations. Due to
complexity, Drum Voices cannot be stored in Mix
Voice location. And a maximum of 256 Mix Voices
can be stored in the S90XS/S70XS. You will
probably not need to edit every Voice, so having
an additional 256 locations to store customized
sounds is welcome.
In Voice Edit you have 6 Control Sets that allow
you to customize how
parameters are controlled. Choose your assigned
MIDI controls wisely, they will be available when
the VOICE is used

Master Effects

The Master Effects are "post" everything but the
Master EQ. So they are applied to the overall
System signal (stereo).

single sound, you can create a Voice and find the
same algorithm among the list of Dual Insertion

The MASTER EFFECTS are:
• DELAY L,R STEREO
• COMP DISTORTION DELAY
• VCM COMPRESSOR 376
• MULTI BAND COMP
• LO-FI
• RING MODULATOR
• DYNAMIC FILTER
• ISOLATOR
• SLICE
These are sometimes called "DJ"-type effects, for
lack of a better term, because like a DJ would,
they are applied to the entire recording. DJ's are
either playing back a record or CD that is a
finished mix. So the effects that they add are
always post, they cannot put a Dynamic Filter on
just the snare drum, if you get my meaning, so
"DJ-style effects". These Effects are applied to the
entire SYSTEM signal. Don't be afraid to use your
imagination with these Master Effects – some of
them are quite radical. Things like putting a Delay
on the final hit of the song so that it repeats and
fades ...or using a frequency Isolator to roll out all
the bass for a section of a song, then bringing it
back in for dynamic impact ...or wacky panning
effects with the Slice algorithm where you can pan
signal left and right in tempo with the groove.
Also on the more normal side, you are given a
powerful Multi-band Compressor for pumping up
will
the frequency bands of the final mix. Awesome
tools... experiment!!!

Master EQ

Although not technically an effect (EQ is an
essential utility for any mixer), the Master EQ is
the last process the signal goes through prior to
the main outputs.
In Voice mode, the Master EQ is setup and is
global for the mode (applies to all Voices). While
in Voice mode:
• Press [UTILITY]
• Select "VOICE" > press [ENTER]
• Select "MASTER EQ" > press [ENTER]
Here you find the full 5-band parametric EQ.
Parametric means you can select the Frequency,
the Gain (increase/decrease) and the Q (or width
a
of the bands). For each VOICE you will find a
three band (adjustable Mid-Frequency) Equalizer
available via the KNOB CONTROL FUNCTIONS for
quick tweaks.
In PERFORMANCE mode or in MULTI mode you
can setup the Master EQ on a per program basis
