Controls and Functions
Rear Panel
1 P (Power switch)
Press to turn power ON (O) or OFF (N).
2 AC IN socket
Connects to the included power cord.
Use only the AC power cord supplied with the S90 XS/S70 XS.
3 MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU terminals
MIDI IN is for receiving control or performance data from another
MIDI device, such as an external sequencer. Use this connector
to control the synthesizer from an external MIDI device. MIDI
OUT is for transmitting all control, performance and playback
data from the S90 XS/S70 XS to another MIDI device, such as an
external sequencer.
Likewise, you can use the S90 XS/S70 XS to control external
MIDI instruments. MIDI THRU is simply for redirecting any
received MIDI data (via MIDI IN) to connected devices, allowing
convenient chaining of additional MIDI instruments.
4 FOOT SWITCH jacks
For connection of an optional FC3/FC4/FC5 Footswitch to the
SUSTAIN jack and a FC4/FC5 Footswitch to the ASSIGNABLE
jack. When connected to the SUSTAIN jack, the Footswitch
controls sustain. When connected to ASSIGNABLE, it can
control one of various different assignable functions.
5 FOOT CONTROLLER 1 and 2 jacks
An optional foot controller (FC7, etc.) can be connected here.
Each jack lets you continuously control one of various different
assignable functions--such as volume, tone, pitch, or other
aspects of the sound.
6 LCD Contrast control
Use this control to set the LCD display for optimum legibility.
7 USB connectors
There are two different types of USB connectors, and the rear
panel of the instrument features both. The USB TO HOST
connector is used to connect this instrument to the computer via
the USB cable. The USB connection between the instrument and
the computer can only be used for transfer of MIDI data. Unlike
MIDI, USB can handle multiple ports via a single cable. The USB
connection between the instrument and the computer can only
be used for transfer of MIDI data. No audio data can be
transferred via USB.
The USB TO DEVICE connector is used to connect this
instrument to a USB storage device (hard disk drive, CD-ROM
drive, flash disk, etc.) via USB. This lets you save the data
created on this instrument to an external USB storage device as
well as load data from the device to the instrument. Save/Load
operations can be performed in the File mode.
8 ASSIGNABLE OUT L and R jacks
These outputs are independent of the main output (at the L/
MONO and R jacks below), and can be freely assigned to any of
the Drum Voice keys or the Parts. This lets you route specific
Voices or sounds for processing with a favorite outboard effect
unit.
The Parts which can be assigned to these jacks are as follows:
• Drum Voice key to which the drum/percussion instrument is
assigned
• Each part of the Performance*
• Each part of the Multi*
• Click (metronome)
*Includes the Audio Input Part (A/D IN Part)
9 OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks
Line level audio signals are output via these phone jacks. For
monophonic output, use just the L/MONO jack.
) PHONES jack
A pair of headphones can be plugged in here. (Standard stereo
phone jack)
! MIC INPUT jack
External audio signals can be input via this combo jack. A
microphone can be connected to the MIC INPUT jacks. This
audio can be used as input for the A/D Input Part in the
Performance/Multi mode. Use an XLR plug or 1/4" mono phone
plug.
