What is the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor?

What is the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor?

S90 XS/S70 XS Editor is a convenient tool which lets you edit and save the various parameters of your S90

S90 XS/S70 XS Music Synthesizer. These include Voice and Mixing parameters (edited in the Voice or Multi mode of the S90 XS/S70 XS) such as Volume, Pan, EG, and Cutoff and other settings. Thanks to its easy-tounderstand graphical interface, you can edit various parameters of the S90 XS/S70 XS right from your computer—using the mouse to adjust the virtual knobs, sliders, and buttons and entering values from the computer keyboard. Finally, all the changes you have made can be saved to your computer or transmitted to the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument.

You can use this S90 XS/S70 XS Editor as a plug-in for the software below

• Studio Manager

• DAW application software compatible with Studio Connections

Studio Manager

Studio Manager V2 is a cross-platform application that enables you to start multiple Editors for controlling

Yamaha hardware products remotely, and to save multiple Editor settings. You can run Studio Manager as a stand-alone application, or as a plug-in within DAW applications compatible with Studio Connections such as Cubase 4 or Cubase AI 4.

For more information, refer to the Studio Manager PDF manual.

Studio Connections

Studio Connections is a joint project begun by Steinberg and Yamaha. Music production systems now increasingly rely on both software and hardware, and there is a pressing need for closer integration between the two. Studio Connections provides a comprehensive and seamless music production environment—making the use of hardware and software both easier and much more efficient. The following functions are available in Studio Connections.

Recall

With the Recall function, all settings in each Editor can be saved within Studio Manager, and then called up again when needed. This enables you to recall all the settings of multiple devices from Studio Manager and control the entire system easily, instantly and automatically.

When executing the Recall function in the Studio Manager, the parameter settings of either device (S90 XS/S70 XS or DAW software on a computer) are synchronized with the other. You can determine which device (S90 XS/S70 XS or DAW software) is regarded as the master of the parameter settings by setting the Auto Sync Setting (

page 40 ).

Recall is especially convenient when used with a DAW application compatible with Studio Connections. This lets you save the Editor data directly to the project file of the DAW letting you recall all necessary hardware settings automatically by simply opening the project file.

S90 XS/S70 XS Editor Owner’s Manual 2

About Open Plug-in Technology

Audio Integration

Plug-in software such as software synthesizers and software samplers are exceptionally convenient in that they let you easily change the various settings and parameters within the host application. However, control over hardware is not so easy—with the need for various setups such as audio connections, driver settings and MIDI port connections.

By using a Studio Connections-compatible DAW software, you can control the external hardware synthesizer within the application, without the need to set up complex connections within a DAW software application— just as easily and conveniently as you would with plug-in software. The Audio Integration function makes all this possible. For details about Recall and Audio Integration, visit our web site at: http://www.studioconnections.org/

About Open Plug-in Technology

Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a software format that enables you to control MIDI devices from a music

DAW application software. For example, this allows you to start up and operate various parts of your music system, such as voice editors of the synthesizer and mixing control editors—directly from an OPT-compatible software, without having to use each separately. OPT also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music production system and making all operations more convenient and seamless.

In addition to the original OPT, Open Plug-in Technology Version 2 (OPT 2), designed for Studio Connections, is also available. The host application Studio Manager supports OPT 2.

About the OPT 2 Overview

OPT 2 is a plug-in format that enhances OPT Level 1 (Panels) and adds some convenient functions for Studio Connections.

Data Structure of the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor

Data Structure of the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor

The S90 XS/S70 XS Editor lets you create the following data and save them as a single file (extension: .X2E).

• Global data (latest status of edited global parameters)

• Current data in the Voice mode (latest status of edited Voice)

• Current data in the Multi mode (consisting of Mixing setup, latest status of edited Voice and 16 Mixing Voices)

• User Voice data (consisting of four Normal Voice Banks and one Drum Voice Bank)

Current settings include the latest settings of the Common and Element parameters for the Voice last assigned to each of Parts 1 – 16, as well as Mixing parameter settings such as Voice assignment, pan, volume and effect for each Part. Among the Voice Banks, only the Mixing Voice Bank data belongs to the Current settings. The S90 XS/

S70 XS Editor lets you edit parameters (including Element parameters) of the Voice assigned to each Part and save the latest edit status as a file without storing it as a User Voice or a Mixing Voice. This means that you can easily recall the latest status of the previous edit simply by opening the file.

n

The S90 XS/S70 XS Editor VST handles the Global data which includes some of the parameters shown on the “G” row in the Mixer section and all the parameters in the Global Settings of the Parameter Categor y section (pages

21 and

24 ).

The diagram illustrated below indicates the structure of the data created via the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor, the structure of the data stored in the internal memory of the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument and the relationship between those two types of data.

*3 The Store Global operation and Store Mixing operation will store the data only to the memory of the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument.

As illustrated S90 XS/S70 XS Editor lets you save the current settings of all the parameters as well as the User

Voice data and Mixing Voice data consisting of the same Voice Banks as those of the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument to a single file. Because the current settings of all the parameters are saved to the file even if they were not stored as a User Voice or Mixing Voice, you can recall the last editing status simply by starting the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor.

An Example of S90 XS/S70 XS Editor in Use

An Example of S90 XS/S70 XS Editor in Use

There is no single way to use the many components in the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor. Your editing needs and preferences may differ; however, the following example gives you a simple step-by-step guide in how to use the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor. As an example, this section explains how to edit a Voice in the Voice mode, edit a

Mixing program in the Multi mode, then store the edited data to the memory of the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument and save the final results of your editing to a file. n

If the [Multi] indication (at the top left of the display) is on, perform the instructions below from step 1. If the [Voice] indication is on, perform the instructions below from step 2.

1.

Change the mode to the Voice mode by clicking the [Voice] indication (at the top left of the display).

If the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE] indication is set to [ONLINE] before changing the mode, the Auto Sync window will be called up automatically when this step is executed. As step 2 is thus unnecessary, you should proceed to step 3.

2.

Basic Operations

Basic Operations

This section covers basic operations of the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor.

Naming a Voice

You can assign an original name of your choice to the edited Voice on the VOICE LIBRARY window,

GENERAL window in the Part Common General, and the Store window.

From the VOICE LIBRARY window ( page 14 ), select a User Voice or Mixing Voice then click the selected

Voice so that you can edit the name. After editing the Voice name, pressing the <Enter> key or locating the cursor to another parameter finalizes the edited name while pressing the <Esc> key aborts it.

From the GENERAL window (below) and Store window (

page 47 ), locate the cursor in the text box of “Voice

Name” at the top of this window, then edit the name in the text box as desired. After editing, pressing the

<Enter> key or locating the cursor to another parameter finalizes the edited name.

Searching for a Voice/Arpeggio Type

You can search for the desired Voice, Multi and Arpeggio Type on the VOICE LIBRARY window (

page 14

),

MULTI LIBRARY window (

page 18

) and ARP LIBRARY window just by inputting a keyword in the text box at the bottom of these windows respectively. Likewise, the Search function is available on the Import window

( page 37 ).

Inputting a numerical value

When double clicking a value box such as that shown above, the value box can be edited and you can input a numerical value directly by using numeric keys. After editing, pressing the <Enter> key or locating the cursor to another parameter finalizes the value while pressing the <Esc> key aborts it. You can edit the value also by using the Cursor key or <Page Up>/<Page Down> key after clicking this box.

5 Auto Sync Setting

This section lets you set how the data synchronization between the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor and the S90

XS/S70 XS instrument is executed when “OFFLINE” is changed to “ONLINE.” Actual data

synchronization is executed from the Auto Sync window ( page 51 ) called up automatically under certain

circumstances such as clicking the [OFFLINE] button, starting the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor and opening a new file on the Editor.

Global

Determines whether or not the Global data (see

page 4 ) is synchronized and which data (S90 XS/S70 XS

Editor or S90 XS/S70 XS itself) is synchronized with the other.

Current

Determines whether or not the Current data (see

page 4 ) is synchronized and which data (S90 XS/S70

XS Editor or S90 XS/S70 XS itself) is synchronized with the other.

Voice

Determines whether or not the Voice data (see

page 4 ) is synchronized and which data (S90 XS/S70 XS

Editor or S90 XS/S70 XS itself) is synchronized with the other.

Auto Start

When this is set to “On” and one of the following operations is executed, data synchronization will be started automatically as soon as the Auto Sync window is opened.

• When clicking “OFFLINE” after setting the MIDI IN/OUT parameter correctly in the Utility mode on the S90 XS/S70 XS, setting the MIDI Ports correctly on the computer, and making a proper connection.

• When the connection between the S90 XS/S70 XS and a computer are corrected after appropriately correcting the setup of the S90 XS/S70 XS and the computer.

• When the settings on the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument and the computer are corrected after appropriately reconnecting the devices. n
