Basics Section Overview of the S90 The S90 has a wide variety of advanced and convenient features. This section gives you an overview of these features. The following diagram shows the various component sections or “blocks” of the S90.
Plug-in Boards (optional) Internal AWM2 Tone Generator ● AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory2) & Waveform AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) is a synthesis system based on sampled waves (sound material), and is used in many Yamaha synthesizers. For extra realism, each AWM2 Voice uses multiple samples of a real instrument’s waveform. Furthermore, a wide variety of envelope generator, filter, modulation, and other parameters can be applied to the basic waveform.
Basics Section ● Effect Plug-in Board • Vocal Harmony Plug-in Board (PLG100-VH) With this board installed, you can add harmonies to selected parts using four types of effects. Backing chorus parts for your vocals can be created automatically from chords that have been prepared and stored as MIDI data. You can also use the S90 like a vocoder by connecting and using a microphone while playing the keyboard.
● Voice mode Controller block Basics Section Part Structure – Voice/Performance/Sequence Play Modes Tone Generator block (Internal / Plug-in) Part for Voice mode Quick Guide Controllers Keyboard The sequencer block is not available in the Voice mode. Port 2 Port 3 part 1 part 17 part 33 part 2 part 18 part 34 part 30 part 46 part 31 part 47 part 32 part 48 Reference Parts 1-48 are not used.
● Sequence Play mode Basics Section Controller block External sequencer Controllers Keyboard MIDI cables by themselves cannot handle data from multiple ports. If a MIDI cable is used to transmit data from an external sequencer, only the Port 1 parts are used. To take advantage of the multiple ports of the S90, use a USB cable. Quick Guide In the Sequence Play Mixing mode, the only parts that sound are the currently selected (edited) part, and parts having the same receive channel as the selected one.
Basics Section Voices & Performance Bank (Memory) Structure Voices Performance Preset Voice (384 Normal Voices + 48 Drum Voices) User (128) Quick Guide A Voice is a single instrument sound, created by using the Elements and setting various parameters. In the Voice Play mode (page 36), you can select and play any of these Voices. Performances, on the other hand, combine Voices in various ways. In the Performance Play mode (page 41), you can select and play any of these Performances.
Basics Section Overview of Voice/Element/Performance Each Voice can consist of up to four Elements. Each Element itself is a high-quality waveform or instrument sound. Voice & Element Quick Guide Each Voice can consist of up to four Elements. Elements are made from waveforms, and the quality of the Elements is high enough that each can be used on its own as a voice. Since you can combine up to four Elements together in a voice, highly expressive and richly textured sounds are possible.
Internally, there are two Voice Types: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. Normal Voices are mainly pitched musical instrument-type sounds that can be played over the range of the keyboard. Drum Voices are mainly percussion/drum sounds that are assigned to individual notes on the keyboard. A collection of assigned percussion/drum wave or Normal Voice is known as a Drum Kit.
Internal Memory Basics Section ● ROM and RAM ROM (Read Only Memory) is memory designed specifically for reading out of data, and as such data cannot be written to it. This is the location where preset data for the instrument is permanently stored. On the other hand, RAM (Random Access Memory) allows both reading and writing of data. This is the location for the edit buffer data.
Basics Section Basic Operations In this section, you’ll learn about the structure of the modes of the S90, its panel display indications and its fundamental operations. Quick Guide Modes The S90 is organized into various modes, each covering a different set of operations and functions.
