Troubleshooting
Cannot start the Arpeggio
Check whether the [ARP ON/OFF] button is turned on or off.
Is the MIDI Sync parameter set to auto or internal (using internal clock)?
Have you selected a User Arpeggio type (with no User Data)?
To use the User Arpeggios, the User Arpeggio data created in the MOTIF XS must be loaded to the S90 XS/S70 XS.
Are the Arpeggio related parameters such as Note Limit and Velocity Limit set appropriately?
When this situation occurs in the Performance/Multi mode, check the Arpeggio Switch parameter.
Cannot stop the Arpeggio
When Arpeggio playback does not stop even when you release the key, set the Arpeggio Hold parameter to
“off” via the [ARP HOLD] 1 – 4 buttons.
The Voice assigned to the Performance produces a different sound from the one in the
Voice mode
This is normal because the Voice sound is determined by the parameter settings in the Performance mode. For
the Performance Parts, you will need to apply basically the same parameter settings as those used in the Voice
mode. Regarding the Effect settings except for the send level, you can copy the settings in the Voice mode to
the Performance part in the following display. By executing this Job, you can ensure that the Voice will sound
the same in the Performance mode as it does in the Voice mode.
Data communication between the computer and the S90 XS/S70 XS does not work
properly
Check whether the Port setting on the computer is appropriate or not.
Check whether the MIDI In/Out settings of the instrument are appropriate or not.
The S90 XS/S70 XS does not sound properly even when playing back the song data
on the computer or the MIDI instrument connected to the S90 XS/S70 XS
Is the S90 XS/S70 XS set to the Multi mode?
Select the Multi mode to play multiple channels simultaneously.
