PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock,
short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack,
use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal
components or result in the instrument falling over.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable
volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any
hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
■REPLACING THE BACKUP BATTERY
• This instrument contains a non rechargeable internal backup battery which permits
internal data to remain stored even when the power is off. When the backup battery
needs replacing, the message "Change internal battery." will display in the LCD.
When this happens, immediately back up your data, then have qualified Yamaha
service personnel replace the backup battery.
• Do not attempt to replace the backup battery yourself, in order to prevent the possible
serious hazards. Always have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup
battery.
• Never place the backup battery in a location that a child can reach, since a child
might accidentally swallow the battery. If this should happen, consult a physician
immediately.
■SAVING USER DATA
• Always save data to a Memory Card (SmartMedia) frequently, in order to help
prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications
to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
• This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to disassemble
or modify the internal components in any way.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions,
or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss
of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should
appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the
electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha
service personnel.
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is
printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Always connect the three-pin attachment plug to a properly grounded power source.
(For more information about the main power supply, see page 12.)
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the
instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do
not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or
place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the
plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector.
Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the
outlet.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for
extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power
for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all
volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at
their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the
instrument to set the desired listening level.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or
heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent
the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios,
or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation
of the other products.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall
over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not
place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor
the panel or keyboard.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not
use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha S80 Music Synthesizer.
Your new S80 synthesizer incorporates the highly-acclaimed AWM2 synthesis engine, allowing the
creation of super-realistic sounds. You can play these sounds over the 88-note fully-weighted
keyboard. It also supports optional Plug-in Boards that provide other synthesis engines of your choice,
enabling the production of cutting edge synthesizer sounds.
You can play all these sounds using the synthesizer’s automatic playback facilities such as the built-in
Arpeggiator and Sequencer. The Quick Access feature lets you access various genres of sounds
quickly and directly via the front panel.
Other features include Effects and Control Sets (for controlling various sound parameters in real time
using different controllers.) These features make this synthesizer ideal for every kind of live
performance or studio work.
When editing a sound, you can use the [PAGE] knob to switch between screens and five other knobs
plus the [DATA] knob for changing parameter values. This makes the process of editing sounds much
easier and smoother. To make the most use of your synthesizer, you are encouraged to read through
this manual. After reading the manual, please keep it in a convenient and safe place for future
reference.

Before Use
This section explains how to connect to an AC power source, audio and MIDI devices, and a computer
system. Only switch the synthesizer on after you have made all the necessary connections.
It is recommended that you read this section before using the synthesizer.
Power Supply
1Make sure that the instrument’s POWER switch is at the OFF position.
2Connect the supplied power cord to the AC INLET terminal on the instrument’s rear panel.
3Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC outlet. Make sure the synthesizer meets the
voltage requirement for the country or region in which it is being used.
Make sure your S80 is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (as listed on the rear
panel). Connecting the unit to the wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may
even pose a shock hazard!
Use only the AC power cord supplied with the S80. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be
replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard!
The type of AC power cord provided with the S80 may be different depending on the country in which it is
purchased (a third prong may be provided for grounding purposes). Improper connection of the grounding
conductor can create the risk of electrical shock. Do NOT modify the plug provided with the S80. If the plug will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use a plug adapter which defeats
the grounding conductor.

Connections
Connecting to External Audio Equipment
Since the synthesizer has no built-in speakers, you need to monitor its sound output via external
audio equipment. Alternatively, you could use a pair of headphones.
There are several methods of connecting to external audio equipment, as described in the following
illustrations.
Connecting Stereo Powered Speakers
A pair of powered speakers can accurately produce the instrument’s rich sounds with their own pan
and effect settings. Connect your powered speakers to the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks on the
rear panel.
When using just one powered speaker, connect it to the OUTPUT L/MONO jack on the rear panel.
Connecting to a Mixer
There are extra audio outputs in addition to the OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks. These four
outputs can connect to a mixer for separately controlling the outputs of up to four Parts in
Performance Mode (Page 107). You can specify the output routing of each Part in Performance Edit
Mode (Page 111).

Basics
Section
Connecting a pair of headphones does not affect audio output from the OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks.
You can monitor the same sounds via headphones and at the OUTPUT jacks. However, you cannot monitor the
sounds from INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT 1 and 2 with headphones.
Connecting a Microphone or Other Audio Equipment
When an A/D Input Part is used in a Performance, signals from devices connected to either of these
jacks can be input in mono.
After the above connections are complete, you are ready to set up for recording. When starting a recording, you
may need to adjust the input gain of the audio source using the GAIN knob. Details about A/D Input, including
how to adjust the input gain, are given on Pages 63, 119.
If you choose the wrong type of input source (Pages 119, 120), you may possibly damage your hearing and/or any
connected audio equipment. Make sure you set this parameter correctly.
Before connecting a device to the A/D INPUT jack, always turn the GAIN knob all the way down.
You can connect an external audio source to the A/D Input Part and use it as a Part in a Performance. Details are
given on Pages 63, 119.

Connecting External MIDI Equipment
You can connect an external MIDI device using a MIDI cable (available separately) and control it from
this synthesizer. You can also use an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer to control the
synthesizer’s internal sounds. This section introduces several different applications of MIDI.
The HOST SELECT switch on the rear panel should be set to “MIDI.” Otherwise, MIDI information will not be
transmitted from the synthesizer’s MIDI OUT connector.

Controlling Another MIDI Device via MIDI THRU
With the above MIDI connections, you can send MIDI data from the MIDI OUT connector while
MIDI data from the external sequencer can be sent to an external MIDI synthesizer via the MIDI
THRU jack.
The MIDI cable should be no greater than 15 meters in length, and there should be no more than three devices in
a MIDI chain (chained in series via each unit’s MIDI THRU). To connect more units, use a MIDI Thru Box for
parallel connections. You may encounter errors if the MIDI cables are too long or if too many devices are chained
together via their MIDI THRU connectors.
Connecting to a Personal Computer
When a computer is connected, it can be used to control the synthesizer and to transfer synthesizer
data to/from computer via MIDI. With the included Voice Editor program, for instance, you can edit
the synthesizer’s Voices. Using another program – Card Filer – you can transfer files between the
computer and the Memory Card inserted in the synthesizer’s CARD slot.
There are two ways to connect your synthesizer to a computer:
1: Serial connection (the computer’s serial port to the synthesizer’s TO HOST terminal)
2: MIDI connection (the computer’s MIDI interface or external MIDI interface to the
synthesizer’s MIDI IN and OUT)
Different computers require different connections, as follows.

Powering Up
Power-on Procedure
When you have made all the necessary connections between your synthesizer and any other devices,
make sure that all volume settings are turned down all the way to zero. Then turn on the every device
in your setup in the order of MIDI masters (senders), MIDI slaves (receivers), then audio equipment
(mixers, amplifiers, speakers, etc.). This ensures the smooth flow of signals from the first device to the
last (first MIDI, then audio).
When powering down the setup, first turn down the volume for each audio devices, then switch off
each device in the reverse order (first audio devices, then MIDI).
When the S80 as MIDI receiver:
Switching the S80 On
Before you switch your synthesizer on or off, first turn down the volume of any audio equipment connected to it.

If you have a Memory Card inserted in the instrument’s CARD slot or an optional Plug-in Board
installed, you may see other screens before the Voice or Performance Play Mode screen is displayed.
If a previously used Memory Card is inserted in the CARD slot, you will see a screen while files in
EXT Memory are being loaded.
If a new Memory Card (one never used on the instrument) is inserted in the CARD slot, you will see
a screen while a basic file is being created in EXT Memory.
If you have a Plug-in Board installed, you will see a screen that confirms the presence of the Plug-in
Board.
The final screen after the power-on sequence may change depending on the Power On Mode setting available
Utility Mode (Page 135).
4Turn up the amplifier’s volume as necessary.
5Adjust the synthesizer's [VOLUME] slider to set an appropriate volume level.
About Memory Cards
You can save various kinds of data - Voice, Performance, Plug-in, Sequence Chain and so on - onto
Memory Card. The built-in CARD slot can accept 3.3-volt Memory Cards (SmartMedia).
Before using a Memory Card, read through precautions on how to handle it (Page 142).
• Formatting a Memory Card
You cannot use a new Memory Card to save files immediately. The card must be formatted in Card
Mode (Page 147) beforehand.
• Saving and Loading Data
You can save various kinds of data as files on a formatted Memory Card. Each file on the card can be
loaded when required.
You can save and load data such as System, Voice, Performance, Plug-in, Sequence Chain or the like.
Since Sequence Chain data is held temporarily in the synthesizer’s buffer memory and will be lost
once you switch it off, you need to save such data onto the Memory Card first.
Details about formatting a Memory Card, saving and loading data, and the recognized file types are
given on Page 143.

Types of Parameters (Absolute and Relative)
There are many ways to set parameters. Some
parameters require you to directly enter
numerical settings or alphabetic characters.
With others, you can choose from a number of
available settings. Furthermore, some types of
parameters are “absolute” whereas others are
“relative.”
For example, the absolute parameter in the
following illustration can be set to either
“Mono” or “Poly.” For other absolute
parameters such as Volume, the setting can be
any value between zero and 127. The Volume
setting has a linear, on-to-one relationship
with the actual volume, as shown in the graph
on the left.
However, relative parameters do not follow the
same relationship. The graph on the bottom
shows the role of the Velocity Offset
parameter. The value you have set here,
known as an “offset,” is added to, or
subtracted from, the actual value. With
Velocity Offset, the specified offset value is
added to, or subtracted from, the actual
velocity of the notes you play on the keyboard.
Sometimes, these types of relative parameters
are set as a percentage.

You can now play Parts in the Performance via
the keyboard. If the Layer Switch (Page 123)
parameter is switched on for any Parts, those
Parts can be play in unison. Now try selecting
other Performances.
Details about selecting Performances using the
[DATA] knob or the [DEC/NO] and [INC/YES] keys
are given on Page 66.
You can also select Performances using a
combination of BANK and PROGRAM/PART keys,
or using the Category Search feature. Details about
selecting Performances are given on Page 109.
On selection, a Performance may take a few seconds
to become ready since the settings for multiple Parts
are applied.
With some of the Performance presets (INT), you
can use Knob [2] to switch the Arpeggiator on/off.

An Overview of the S80
In this section, an overview of the many features of the S80 is given.
The S80 hardware is made up of a number of sections, as shown in the following diagram.
Controller Section
This section consists of the keyboard, Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels, Control Sliders, Assignable
knobs and so on. The keyboard itself doesn’t generate sounds, but instead sends note, velocity and
other information to the synthesizer’s tone generator section when you plays notes. The controllers
also send changes. Information from the keyboard and controllers can be transmitted to other
external MIDI devices through the MIDI OUT connector.
Sequencer Section
This section can be used to play back Standard MIDI Files held on Memory Card. The contents of
Tracks 1 to 16 correspond to MIDI channels and Parts in a Performance as shown in the following
illustration. The sequencer can play back songs with a different Voice assigned to each Part.

Tone Generator Section
This section plays back sounds according to information received from the keyboard and controllers.
The following example illustrates the path taken by the signal from an Element in Voice Mode.
About the Tone Generator
The tone generator section in the S80 consists of AWM2 and Plug-in units.
AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) is a synthesis system based on the use of sampled waveforms,
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.
AWM2 is not just limited to general musical instruments (Normal Voices). It can also be used for setting up
percussive instruments (Drum Voices). Details about Normal and Drum Voices are given on Page 37.
Plug-in Boards add more features to the system. When installed, they combine perfectly with the
synthesizer’s built-in tone generator section.
The following types of Plug-in Board are available, and up to two boards can be installed in the
synthesizer. These boards are not simply a source of more Voices; they are also tone generators in
their own right and extend the system-level specifications such as maximum polyphony. You can play
Plug-in Voices just like ordinary internal Voices and use them as Parts in a Performance (Page 98).
This synthesizer is compatible with the Modular Synthesis Plug-in System (see next page). There are
three types of Modular Synthesis Plug-in System-compatible Plug-in Boards: Single Part, Multi-Part
and Effect Plug-in Board. Using these, you can build your own system based on the sounds you
require.
Single Part Plug-in Boards
• Analog Physical Modeling Plug-in Board (PLG150-AN)
Using Analog Physical Modeling (AN) synthesis, the very latest digital technology is used to
accurately reproduce the sound of analog synthesizers. With this board installed, you have real-
time control over the playback of vintage synthesizer sounds as well as the very latest sounds heard
in today’s club-oriented music.
• Piano Plug-in Board (PLG150-PF)
A massive 16MB of waveform memory is dedicated to the reproduction of piano sounds using
AWM2 synthesis. This board offers 136 stereo sounds, including a number of acoustic and electric
pianos, and up to 64-note polyphony. You can even install two of these boards to double the
polyphony to 128 notes.

• Advanced DX/TX Plug-in Board (PLG150-DX)
The sounds of the DX7 are available on this Plug-in Board. Unlike with PCM-based solutions, this
does not use sampled waveforms. Instead, it uses the actual FM sound generator engine of the DX-
series synthesizers to give a completely faithful reproduction. Sounds are compatible with those of
the DX7, and the board can even receive DX7 data via MIDI bulk dump.
• Virtual Acoustic Plug-in Board (PLG150-VL)
With Virtual Acoustic (VA) synthesis, the sounds of real instruments are modeled (simulated) in
real time, giving a degree of realism that cannot be achieved using conventional PCM-based
synthesis techniques. When playing these sounds using an optional Breath Controller (BC3) or
MIDI Wind Controller (WX5), you can even capture some of the physical feel of woodwind
instruments.
Effect Plug-in Boards
• Vocal Harmony Plug-in Board (PLG100-VH)
With this board installed, you can add harmonies to selected parts using four types of effects.
Chorus parts for vocals can be created automatically from chords that have been prepared and
stored as MIDI data. You can also use the synthesizer like a vocoder by connecting and using a
microphone while playing the keyboard.
Multi-Part Plug-in Board
• XG Plug-in Board (PLG100-XG)
This Plug-in Board is a 16-part XG sound generator. You can play back XG/GM song files using the
rich variety of sounds and effects on this board.
More Plug-in Boards will be available in future.
About MODULAR SYNTHESIS PLUG-IN SYSTEM
The Yamaha Modular Synthesis Plug-in System offers powerful expansion and upgrade capabilities
for Modular Synthesis-Plug-in-compatible synthesizers, tone generators and sound cards. This
enables you to easily and effectively take advantage of the latest and most sophisticated synthesizer
and effects technology, allowing you to keep pace with the rapid and multi-faceted advances in
modern music production.
Maximum Polyphony
The maximum sonic polyphony is 64 for AWM2, plus the polyphony of the Plug-in Board (if
installed). The actual note polyphony will vary depending on the type of tone generator unit used,
the number of Elements in the Voice, and the note polyphony of the Plug-in Board.
In the case of AWM2 Voices, the polyphony figure of 64 is divided by the number of Elements in the
Voice. For instance, if a Voice consists of two Elements, the maximum note polyphony for the Voice is
32.

Effects Section
The effects can be used to change the sound of a Voice or Performance. There are two Insertion
Effect Units plus a Reverb Unit (with 12 types of reverb) and a Chorus Unit (with 23 types of
chorus). Each of the Insertion Effect units offers a variety of effects, and the units themselves can be
connected in parallel or in series.
In Voice/Performance Mode, different Effects settings can be assigned to each Voice/Performance,
though the way they are connected (series or parallel) varies slightly. As shown in the following
illustration, the two Insertion Effect units can be independently switched on or off for each Element
in a Voice. So basically, the Insertion Effects can be set on a per Element basis. After being passed
through the Insertion Effects, the signals from all individual Elements are mixed and sent to the
Reverb and Chorus Units. These Reverb and Chorus Units apply effects to the sound as a whole
before it is sent to the outputs, and are therefore known as System Effects.
In Performance Mode, the Insertion Effects can be set for two Parts: a Voice or A/D Input Part, plus a
Plug-in Part. However, the System Effects (Reverb and Chorus) are not applied to Parts, but to the
Performance as a whole.
Details about Effects are given on Page 55.

An Overview of Voices/Waves
Each Voice consists of up of up to four Elements. Each Element itself uses a high-quality waveform.
Internally, there are two Voice Types: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. Normal Voices are mainly
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
Drum Voice assignments is known as a Drum Kit.
If you have installed an optional Plug-in Board, there will be more Voices for you to choose from.
These Voices are known as Plug-in Voices, and will vary depending on the Plug-in Board you have
installed (Page 32).
The Note Limit settings (Page 80) will also affect the allocation of sounds. But basically, Normal
Voices (of up to four Elements) are playable across the whole keyboard range whereas with Drum
Voices, any of 73 different Waves can be assigned to each Drum Key on the keyboard.
A total of eight Drum Voices (DR1 to DR8) are available as presets. You can also create your own Drum Voices
and save them to internal (User) memory or to external memoly (Memory Card), just as with Normal Voices.

Performances
A Performance consists of up to 19 Parts, each of which can a Normal Voice, Drum Voice, A/D Input
Part or Plug-in 1/2 Part. By switching on the Layer Switch parameter for different Parts (up to four),
you can play back rich layered sounds in Performance Play Mode. You can also create splits so that
different Parts are assigned to different areas of the keyboard. If you assign a different MIDI channel
number to each Part, each track of a sequencer can play back a different Part.
In Performance Mode, several different Voices (Parts) can be layered to create rich textures. However, this can
cause note response to become slower under some circumstances.

Ideal for Playing Live
Many features of this synthesizer make it ideal for live performances. These features are explained here.
The parameters for these features can be stored per Voice/Performance.
Rear Panel
1 Using the Arpeggiator (Page 41)
A wide variety of arpeggio patterns can be
created automatically by just holding down a
set of notes on the keyboard. You can specify
the sound and the note range within which the
arpeggiator is active, then use your left hand to
hold down the notes being arpeggiated while
using your right hand to play a melody line.
2 Using the Controllers (Page 43)
The Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel and
Control Sliders can be freely assigned to control
various sound parameters in real time. By
connecting an optional Foot Controller or Foot
Switch, you can also use your feet to control
parameters, to change Program Number, and so
on (Page 48). Also, you can assign parameters to
Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1] and [2] on the front panel
below the LCD.

Basics
Section
1 Arpeggiator
The arpeggiator is particularly suited to
dance/techno music genres. You can assign any
of 128 Arpeggio Types to each Voice, Performance
and adjust the tempo. You can also set the
Arpeggio Mode (the way in which the arpeggio is
played back when you press a note) and Play
Effects to create your own original grooves.
Arpeggio information can be transmitted through
the MIDI Out.
Selecting and Playing Back
an Arpeggio Type
You can choose from 128 different Arpeggio Type
presets. You can also freely vary the Arpeggio
Tempo to suit the song. The Note Limit
parameter can be used to define the effective note
range of the arpeggio.
Each parameter applies to, and is stored with,
each Voice or Performance. By playing notes on
the keyboard and listening to the arpeggio, you
can adjust these parameters by ear.
The arpeggiator’s parameters are available in each
Edit Mode. In the following Voice Mode example,
the Arpeggio Type is set for a Drum Voice in
Preset Drum 1.
To select the Preset Drum, press the MEMORY
[PRE2] key while holding down the MEMORY
[PRE1] key and press a PROGRAM key. Here, we
will choose Preset Drum 1 so you should press the
PROGRAM [1] key.
If the Arpeggiator switch is already enabled for the
Voice/Performance, this means that the Arpeggiator
will be ready for use whenever you select the
Voice/Performance.
The on/off state of the Arpeggiator can be stored
(Pages 106, 131) for each Voice/Performance.

keys/Elements) and Drum key/Element Edit. The
Arpeggiator parameters are found in the Common
Edit screens that you have now selected.
3Use the [PAGE] knob to switch to the ARP
Type (Arpeggio Type) screen.
If you use the [PAGE] knob while holding down the
[SHIFT] key, a menu will be displayed. You can
quickly jump to the ARP screen by using the
[PAGE] knob to move the cursor to the ARP item in
the menu, then releasing the [SHIFT] key(Page 70).
4Use Knob [B] to jump to the Type parameter.
Now use Knob [B], the [DATA] knob or the
[INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] keys to select the
desired Arpeggio Type. Let’s choose
“BigBeat2” here.
Arpeggio Types are divided into the four
following categories and applications are not
just limited to drum patterns. You can also
select Arpeggio Types for backing chords,
basslines and so on.
When setting the Arpeggio Category to Ct
(Control), you also need to set the Key Mode
parameter (two screens ahead) to “direct.”
Sq (Sequence):
Creates a general arpeggio phrase. Mainly octave
up/down phrases.
Ph (Phrase):
Creates more musical phrases than Sq. Starting
with “Techno,” there are phrases for a wide
variety of musical genres, and for creating
backing tracks for guitar, piano and other
instruments.
Dr (Drum Pattern):
Creates drum pattern-type phrases. Phrase genres
covered include rock and dance. This Type is ideal
for use with drum and percussion sounds.
Ct (Control):
Creates tonal changes. No note information is
created. The Key Mode parameter in Arpeggio
Mode must be set to “direct.”
Details about Arpeggio Types are given in the
separate Data List.

Using the Arpeggiator
Use Knob [1] to set the Arpeggiator Switch
parameter to “on.”
You can hold down multiple notes to create complex
arpeggio patterns.
When the arpeggiator is switched on, the notes
you play (and hold down) on the keyboard will be
arpeggiated using the currently selected Voice or
Performance, and according to the Arpeggio Type,
Tempo and Note Limit settings.
In Voice Mode, the currently selected Voice will be
arpeggiated.
In Performance Mode, the Voices of Parts for
which both the Layer and arpeggiator are
switched on, are arpeggiated (Page 123).
Only notes within the Note Limit range will be
arpeggiated. Therefore, if the notes you play are not
arpeggiated, they may be outside this range. Details
about the Note Limit settings are given later.
The Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels can be used
while the arpeggiator is running.
Now try selecting other Arpeggio Types and
arepggiating different Voices.
You can use a Foot Switch (optional) to switch the
Arpeggiator on/off. Details about assigning parameters
to the Foot Switch are given on Pages 48, 136.
Setting the Tempo
You can use Knob [C] to adjust the tempo
between 25 and 300 BPM. This parameter setting
is used by the Arpeggiator. Use Knob [C] to jump
to the Tempo parameter. Now use Knob [C], the
[DATA] knob or the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO]
keys to set the tempo. You can also set the tempo
using the [TEMPO] knob on the front panel.
Setting the Note Limit
Using the Note Limit parameter, let’s set up a
Normal Voice (say, Voice Program Number
098:G02 of Internal:champ) such that the
Arpeggiator is enabled in the lower part of the
keyboard but the upper part can be used to play
melody lines. You’ll need to have already set the
Arpeggio Type (say, MuteLine).

1The Note Limit parameters can be set in the
ARP Limit screen, which follows immediately
after the ARP Type screen mentioned in step
3 (earlier). Use the [PAGE] knob to switch to
the screen.
2Use Knob [2] to jump to the parameter for the
highest note in the range, and to set the note.
Alternatively, you can set this parameter by
pressing the note (say, E3) on the keyboard
while holding down the [SHIFT] key.
Similarly, the lowest note in the range can be
set using Knob [1], or by pressing the note
while holding down the [SHIFT] key.
Knobs [1] and [2] are used to set the Note Limits
of the keyboard range within which the
arpeggiator will play back. The cursor (≥)
immediately jumps to each respective parameter
when Knobs [1] and [2] are used. Once the
cursor is at the parameter, you can also use the
[DATA] knob or the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO]
keys to enter settings.
Outside the Note Limit range, you can play the
keyboard normally without the notes being
arpeggiated. Therefore, you can use your left
hand to play block chords used by the Arpeggiator
and your right hand to play melody lines in the
upper part of the keyboard.
Combined with the OSC Limit parameter of the
Element Edit screen, the sound used in the lower
part of the keyboard can be different from that in
the upper part.
The Note Limit parameters in Performance Mode
are different to those in Voice Mode, and notes
outside the set range will not sound. The
Arpeggiator Switch parameter (Page 123) for each
Part should be set to “on,” except for the Part
which you wish to use to play the melody. Then,
if necessary, use the Note Limit parameter (Page
123) to restrict the keyboard range for that Part.

With Arpeggiator Hold switched on, the
arpeggiator will continue to play back, even after
you have released your fingers from the notes on
the keyboard. The same arpeggio pattern will be
played back until you press another set of notes
on the keyboard.
You can switch Arpeggiator Hold on/off by using
Knob [2] to change the Hold parameter of the

Using Controllers
The S80 is equipped with Pitch Bend and
Modulation Wheels. Either of the S80 is
equipped with front panel Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1]
and [2], with which you can control many
different parameters.
Pitch Bend Wheel
This wheel’s prime function is to control pitch.
Roll the wheel upward/downward to bend the
pitch upward/downward. The effect can also be
reversed.
Pitch Bend Range can be set for each Voice. The
wheel can also be assigned other parameters (Page
74).
Even if a different parameter is assigned to the
wheel, Pitch Bend messages are still transmitted
through the MIDI Out when it is being used.
Modulation Wheel
The more you roll this wheel upwards, the greater
the modulation that is applied to the sound.
Modulation depth can also be set beforehand. Also,
the wheel can be assigned different parameters, such
as Volume or Pan (Page 74).

Knobs [A]/[B]/[C]/[1]/[2]
In Voice/Performance Play Mode, Knobs [A], [B],
[C], [1] and [2] can be used as real-time controllers.
Knobs [A], [B] and [C] are assigned to control the
equalizer gain of, respectively, EQ Low, EQ Mid
and EQ Hi. With Knobs [1] and [2], you are free to
assign different parameters per Voice.
If you turn any knob clockwise, the value assigned
to it is incremented. Conversely, the value is
decremented if you turn it the other way.
Common system parameters are assigned to Knobs
[A],[B] and [C] (Pages 46, 136). Voice-specific
parameters are assigned to Knobs [1] and [2] (Pages
47, 74).
A preset of suitable parameter settings is assigned to
each Voice. By using each knobs [1] and [2], you are
in effect adjusting these settings by a certain
amount. If these parameters are already preset at
their minimum or maximum settings, the settings
cannot be exceeded.
In any Edit Mode, Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1] and [2] are
used for entering parameter settings on screen (Page 24).
Control Sliders
In Performance Mode, if Master Keyboard Mode is
enabled, you can use the four Control Sliders to

Foot Controller
An optional Foot Controller (such as the FC7),
connected to the FOOT CONTROLLER jack
(Page 18) on the rear panel, can be assigned a
number of controller parameters. By using a foot
controller for parameter control, both your hands
are left free to play the keyboard (or to operate
other controllers). This is very convenient if you
are playing live.
Foot Controller parameters can be set for each Voice.
Foot Switch
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch
connected to the rear panel FOOT SWITCH jack
(Page 18) can be assigned to a range of
parameters. It is suited for a switch-type (on/off)
controls such as Portamento Switch,
increment/decrement of a Voice or Performance
Number, start/stop of the Sequencer, holding
Arpeggiator on or off. The Foot Switch is not
well suited for continuous control. You could also
use it to switch to between different Voices or
Performances
The parameter assigned to the Foot Switch is set in the
CTRL Other screen of Utility Mode (Pages 48, 136).
Sustain
With an optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch
connected to the SUSTAIN jack (Page 18) on the
rear panel. This is useful when playing piano-
type sounds.
You cannot assign a function other than Sustain to
the SUSTAIN jack.
Foot Volume
Connect an optional Foot Controller (such as the
FC7) to the FOOT VOLUME jack of the rear
panel (Page 18). You can then use your foot to
control Main Volume or Expression parameters,
leaving your hands free to play the keyboard. This
is very useful if you are playing live.
The parameter assigned to the Foot Volume
controller is set in the CTRL Other screen of Utility
Mode (Page 136).
Breath Controller
You can connect an optional Breath Controller
(BC3) to the BREATH jack (Page 18) on the rear
panel . Then use it to control a large number of
the synthesizer’s parameters, particularly those
controlled by a wind player’s breath: dynamics,
timbre, pitch and so on. The Breath Controller is
ideally suited for realistic expression with wind
instrument type Voices.
Breath Controller parameters can be set for each
Voice.

Basics
Section
By creating Control Sets, you can change sounds
in a variety of ways.
For example, set the Src (Source) parameter of
Control Set 1 to MW (Modulation Wheel) and the
Dest (Destination) parameter to ELFO-PM
(Element LFO Pitch Modulation Depth). Then
set the Src parameter of Control Set 2 also to MW,
but set the Dest parameter to ELM PAN (Element
Pan). You will also need to specify the Element to
be controlled and also the depth (amount) of
control.
In this example, when you move the Modulation
Wheel upward, the amount of Pitch Modulation
increases accordingly, the Element is panned from
left to right. So in other words, you can assign
several Dest parameters to each Src controller.
Continuing from the example above, now create
another Control Set where Src is set to FC (Foot
Controller) and Dest is set to ELFO-PM (Element
LFO Pitch Modulation Depth). Again, specify the
Element to be controlled and also the depth of
control.
Now, Pitch Modulation is assigned to both the
Modulation Wheel and Foot Controller. In other
words, you can also assign several Src controllers
to each Dest parameter.
By assigning all six Control Sets, you will have a
stunning degree of real-time control over the
synthesizer’s sounds.

Aftertouch
Aftertouch lets you, for example, add vibrato to a
sound by applying further pressure to a note on the
keyboard while it is being held down. This allows
real-time expression and control. Aftertouch can
be used to control a wide variety of parameters
(Page 74).
Control Sets
Aside from their default parameters, keyboard
aftertouch, the controllers and some of the knobs
on the front panel can be assigned with various
parameters, as explained on Page 43. For
example, you could assign Resonance to the
Modulation Wheel and set aftertouch to apply
vibrato. You are free to assign parameters to suit
the kind of sound being played.
These controller assignments are known as Control
Sets. As the following illustration shows, you can
assign up to six different Control Sets per Voice.
Within each Control Set, the controller is known as
the Source (Src) and the parameter controlled by
the Source is known as the Destination (Dest).
There are various Dest parameters available; some
will apply to the Voice as a whole, while some will
be specific to each of its Elements. Details are
given in the Controls List of the separate Data List.
Details about the available Dest parameter settings
are given in the Destination Parameter List of the
separate Data List.
The Element Switches (Page 75) will be disabled if
the Dest parameter setting is not specific for
Elements (i.e., for settings 00 to 33).

Control Sets and External MIDI Control
In a Control Set, the controllers are assigned to the
internal parameters of the synthesizer. However,
some controllers were originally designed for a
particular purpose, and send pre-defined MIDI
Control Change messages when used, regardless of
their Control Set allocations within the
synthesizer.
For example, the Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation
Wheel and keyboard aftertouch were originally
designed to control pitch bend, modulation and
aftertouch. Therefore, when you use these
controllers, pitch bend, modulation and aftertouch
information is always sent to the MIDI Out.
Let’s say the Pan parameter is assigned to the
Pitch Bend Wheel in a Control Set. Now,
when you move the Pitch Bend Wheel, the
internal tone generator of the synthesizer will
pan the sound but at the same time, the
original pre-defined Pitch Bend messages will
still be sent to the MIDI Out.
The controllers can also send MIDI Control
Change messages to control the parameters of
external MIDI devices. These assignments are
found in the VOICE (Vce) CTRL Assign1/2
screen of Utility Mode.
As Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel and
keyboard aftertouch is pre-defined with specific
MIDI controls, you cannot assign MIDI
Control Changes.
You can also set up a controller such that it
sends one kind of Control message to the
synthesizer’s internal tone generator yet
another kind to the MIDI Out.
For example, in a Control Set you could assign
resonance to Assignable Knob [1]. Then, in the
VOICE CTRL Assign2 screen of Utility Mode,
you could assign Control Change Number 1
(Modulation) to the same knob. Now, when
you turn the knob, resonance will be applied to
the sound of the internal tone generator but at
the same time, modulation information will be
sent to the external MIDI device connected to
the MIDI Out.
This aspect of the synthesizer makes it ideal for
use as a master controller for controlling external
MIDI devices. Add an optional Foot Controller
or Breath Controller for even more control.

of Modulation Wheel, a destination (Dest)
parameter for the source (MW) will be
affected with that message.
The above procedure explains how to set up

4 OSC (Oscillator) Screens
In these screens, you can mainly set the
parameters controlling the waveforms on which
the Voice is based. You can select the Wave used
for the Element, the volume and note range of
each Element and so on.
• OSC Wave
Select the waveform (Wave) used for each Element.
• OSC Out
• OSC Pan
Set the volume (output level) and stereo pan
position of each Element. The following
illustration shows the logic.
• OSC Limit
Set the note range for each Element (the range of
notes on the keyboard over which the Element
will sound) and also the velocity response (the
range of note velocities within which the Element
will sound). You can assign different settings for
each Element. With these parameters, you can
layer Elements and control their output.
For example, you could set one Element to sound
in an upper range of the keyboard, and another
Element to sound in a lower range. Thus, even
within the same Voice, you can have two different
sounds for different areas of the keyboard or you
can make the two Element ranges overlap so that
their sounds are layered over a set range.
Furthermore, you can set each Element to respond
to different velocity ranges so that one Element
sounds for lower note velocities, whereas another
Element sounds for higher note velocities.

• QED (Common Quick Edit)
These parameters mostly control the volume and
tone of the Voice and you can easily change the
overall sound.
• ARP (Common Arpeggio)
By setting these parameters, you can control how
the Voice is arpeggiated. Details about how to use
the Arpeggiator are given on Page 41.
• CTL (Common Controller)
You can assign various functions to the
controllers on the front/rear panel. For example,
you can assign parameters to the Pitch Bend
Wheel and a Foot Controller so that you can
change the tone of the Voice in real time. Details
about various different uses are given on Page 43.
• LFO (Common Low Frequency Oscillator)
These are the LFO parameters. The LFO uses a
low frequency waveform to vary the
pitch/filter/amplitude characteristics, and can be
used to create vibrato, wah, tremolo and other
effect (Page 75).
• EFF (Common Effect)
These are the Effects parameters for the Voice.
There are two Insertion Effects plus two System
Effects (Reverb and Chorus).

changes over time.
• PEG (Pitch Envelope Generator)
Using the PEG, you can control the transition in
pitch from the moment a note is pressed on the
keyboard to the point at which it is released. As
illustrated below, the Pitch Envelope consists of five
Time (transition speed) parameters and five Level
(pitch) parameters. This is useful for creating
automatic changes in pitch. Furthermore, different
PEG parameters can be set for each Element.

6 FLT (Filter) and FEG (Filter EG)
Screens
You can use the filter to change the tonal
characteristics of each Element, by adjusting
overtones (harmonic tones) included in the
waveform from the Element. There are several
types of filters, but its basic idea is similar. As
illustrated below, the filter is used to pass overtones
at specific frequencies and cut off (does not pass)
others, to alter the harmonic factor of an original
waveform. You can determine such frequencies by
specifying a pointing or center frequency (cutoff
frequency). With some filters, you can adjust signal
levels at several frequency bands. You can also set
the Filter Envelope Generator (FEG) for time
variance of how the filter works, which results in a
dynamic change in tonal characteristics. Here we
introduce how FEG works.
Details about Filter Types are given on Page 83.
• FEG (Filter Envelope Generator)
Using the FEG, you can control the transition in
tone from the moment a note is pressed on the
keyboard to the point at which it is released. As
illustrated below, the Filter Envelope consists of
five Time (transition speed) parameters and five
Level parameters (for the amount of filtering).
When you press a note on the keyboard, the cutoff
frequency will change according to these envelope
settings. This is useful for creating automatic wah
effects, for example. Furthermore, different FEG
parameters can be set for each Element.
Details about FEG parameters are given on Page 85.

volume of the signal sent to the outputs. The
signal of each Element is sent at the specified
volume to the next Effect Unit.
Also, by setting the AEG (Amplitude Envelope
Generator), you can control how the volume
changes over time.
The final volume for all Elements is set in the
Volume (Vol) parameter of the QED screen in
Common Edit.
• Amplitude EG (Envelope Generator)
Using the AEG, you can control the transition in
volume from the moment a note is pressed on the
keyboard to the point at which it is released. As
illustrated below, the Amplitude Envelope consists
of five Time (transition speed) parameters and
five Level parameters (for the amount of

As its name suggests, the LFO creates waveforms of
a low frequency. These waveforms can be used to
vary the pitch, filter or amplitude of each Element
to create effects such as vibrato, wah and tremolo,
although the actual available LFO parameters will
vary according to the type of Element.
9 EQ (Equalizer) Screens
Specific frequency bands for each Element can be
attenuated or boosted using an equalizer. There
are many types of equalizers available. Details are
given on Page 91.
) Storing Edited Voices
Up to 128 new/edited Normal Voices and 2
new/edited Drum Voices can be stored to internal
user memory or external Memory Card.
The maximum number of Plug-in Voices that can be
stored to each internal memory (PLG1/2) is 64.
When storing a Voice, any existing data at the
storage location will be lost. You should always back
up important data to Memory Card, computer or
some other storage medium beforehand.
Details about storing Voices are given on Page 106.

Effects
In the final stages of programming, you can set
the effects parameters to further change the
sound’s character. To generalize, System Effects
apply to the overall sound, whether it is a Voice, a
Performance, a Song, etc. Insertion Effects, on the
other hand, can be applied individually to each
Voice. This synthesizer has two System Effect
Units (Reverb and Chorus) plus two Insertion
Effect Units. When using a Plug-in Board (PLG1
or PLG2) installed on the instrument, you can
also use a separate Insertion Effect Unit that is
dedicated for each Plug-in Part.
Different effects settings can be set per Voice (in
Voice Mode) and per Performance (in
Performance Mode), though the connection
between the Effect Units will vary in each case.
Reverb Unit
The Reverb Unit includes a selection of 12
different reverb-type effects, including realistic
simulations of the natural reverberation found in
various halls and rooms. In Voice Mode, Reverb
settings can be set for each Voice. In Performance
Mode, the Reverb settings will apply to the
Performance as a whole.
Chorus Unit
The Chorus Unit includes a selection of 23
chorus-type effects, including a flanger and
others. Most of these effects are ideal for adding
thickness to the sound.
In Voice Mode, Chorus settings can be set for each
Voice. In Performance Mode, the Chorus settings
will apply to the Performance as a whole.
Insertion Effects
The Insertion Effect 1 Unit includes 24 effects
including chorus, flanger and auto-wah. The
Insertion Effect 2 Unit offers delays, reverbs,
rotary speaker, amp simulation and other effects,
providing a total of 92 effects. If a Plug-in Board
has been installed, up to 24 Insertion Effects for
the Plug-in Voices will also be available.
Details about each Effect Type are given in the
Effect Type List in the separate Data List.
Effects in Voice Mode
In Voice Mode, you can set up the effect type and
its value for each Effect Unit (Reverb, Chorus and
Insertion Effects) and store them with each Voice.
Furthermore, you can determine that each Element
connects or bypasses the Insertion Effect Units.
When you connect an Element to Insertion Effects,
you can also specify the connecting way of two
Units (series or parallel, as illustrated below).
The combined signal from all Voice Elements —
after application of the Insertion Effects — is sent
to the Reverb and Chorus System Effect Units.
When you want to use Plug-in Voices from a Plug-
in Board attached, you can also set up a dedicated
Insertion Effect Unit for each Plug-in Voice. In
this case, a Plug-in Voice signals processed with
the Insertion Effect Unit will be then routed to
Reverb and Chorus Units.
Effects in Performance Mode
In Performance Mode, you can use an Insertion
Effects setting “borrowed” from ones respectively
stored with Voices (Parts) . For Plug-in Parts, you
can select and use an Insertion Effect setting
“borrowed” from ones respectively stored with Plug-
in Voices.
For Reverb and Chorus, you can create new
settings dedicated for an entire Performance,
without “borrowing” existing Reverb and Chorus
settings stored with a Voice.
In the following illustration, a mixer represents
the logic behind how the different effects are
applied to the sound in Performance Mode. Each
Part (1 to 16) is fed to the mixer through either
Insertion Effect 1 or Insertion Effect 2. The
signals for all Parts are summed in the mixer and
then the System Effects (Reverb and Chorus) are
applied to the mix as a whole.

Turning the [PAGE] knob while holding down the
[SHIFT] key enables you to scroll though
parameters in the Menu screens (page 111).
3Select “split” for the Mode parameter using the
Knob [B].
If Master Keyboard Mode is deactivated (without
the [MASTER KEYBOARD] key pressed), the
Mode parameter value will be shown in brackets
(like “(split)”).
4Select the value (split point) for the Point
parameter using the Knob [2], which determines
the key note that divide the keyboard into two
sections. Select “C3” for this example.
You can specify the split point by directly pressing
a specific key on the keyboard while holding
down the [SHIFT] key. In this example, press C3
while holding down the [SHIFT] key.
5Specify MIDI transmit channels respectively for
the lower and upper key ranges using the Knob
[C] (lower) and the Knob [1] (upper). These
settings can make MIDI-channel-based separate
controls of the internal tone generator or an
external MIDI devices from the keyboard, such
as using different Voice tones in the lower and
upper key ranges.
Select “ch01” for “Lower” and “ch02” for
“Upper” for this example.
You can also use the [PROGRAM/PART 1 to 16]
keys to select MIDI channels for the Lower and
Upper ranges. (Page 113)

As previously explained, your Synthesizer
provides several convenient features that you can
make use of in a live show or the like. Here we
introduce some examples to combine those
features to meet your specific purposes.
The S80 has special settings in Performance Mode so
that you can use the instrument as MIDI master
keyboard. You can activate the function (enable those
special settings) when you press the [MASTER
KEYBOARD] key on the panel (its LED will light).
Now your instrument can send performance on the
keyboard to an external tone generator, as well as the
internal tone generator, according to the master
keyboard settings in Performance Mode. If you divide
the keyboard into several (up to four) key ranges and
assign separate MIDI transmit channels, the keyboard
can control multiple parts (channels) from the
internal tone generator and external MIDI devices of
those channels at the same time.
There are three Master Keyboard Modes (how to
make key ranges) available: Split, 4 Zones, and Layer.
You can learn these Master Keyboard Modes and their
functional differences in the following examples.
Split
The illustration below shows an example of a Split
configuration. Split is a typical setting to divide a
keyboard into two key ranges (lower and upper) by
splitting at a specific key note (split point). The
following example is to split the keyboard at C3
note, enabling the lower range for automatic
performance with Arpeggiator and the upper range
for manual solo performance. You can make this
configuration in the following steps.
Edit and prepare Voices for Arpeggiator and manual
play in Voice Edit Mode before you set up a Split
setting in the following procedure (page 68).
1Press the [PERFORM] key, followed by the
[EDIT] key (each LED will light) to enter
Performance Edit Mode. Then, press the
[MASTER KEYBOARD] key to activate Master
Keyboard Mode (its LED will light).

9Turn the [PAGE] knob and open the ARP Type
(Arpeggio Type) page. Set “on” for “Switch.”
In steps 6 to 9, you now complete settings for
the lower range for Arpeggiator performance.
It will play in a Voice assigned to Part 1 based
on MIDI Receive channel 1.
Refer to page 72 for detailed settings of
Arpeggiator.
You can copy (reuse) the arpeggio settings that belong
to the Voice assigned to Part 1 (page 131).
)As in the same manner as in steps 6 to 8, make
settings for the upper range. So you can use the
Knob A and select “Part02”, select a Voice for solo
performance in the MIX Vce page, set “2” for
“RcvCh” in the LYR Mode page.
Now you are ready for solo performance within
the upper range. You can play in a Voice assigned
to Part 2 based on MIDI Receive channel 2.
If you set “on” to “Layer” in the LYR Mode page,
the RcvCh setting will be ignored.
For unwanted Parts in Split play, set their MIDI
Receive channels (RcvCh) to other than those
used for the lower and upper Parts. In the
example above, the “RcvCh” values for Part 3 to
16 must be set to any other than 1 and 2.
In Performance Edit Mode, you can make detailed
settings for every Part. In case that a Part does
not sound, make sure the volume setting for that
Part. For more information, refer to page 120.
!Before exiting Performance Edit Mode, store
above settings in a Performance. For storing a
Performance, refer to page 131.
In Performance Play Mode, recall the Performance
you have just stored. Simply pressing the
[MASTER KEYBOARD] key activates or
deactivates the Split configuration you made above.
4 Zones
The illustration below shows an example of a 4-Zone
configuration. A zone refers to a specific key range on
the keyboard. You can logically divide a keyboard into
up to four key ranges with separate MIDI channels
and other associated settings so that you can control
multiple Parts at the same time. A Split setting can
divides the entire keyboard into two absolute sections
(key ranges). In a 4-zone setting, however, each
section can overlap to one another. You can even set a
section to cover or include other sections.
ARPíType) Type Tempo Switch Hold
Common UpOct1:Sq 120 on off
In the following example, Zone 1 is set up for
performance by the Arpeggiator, Zone 2 for bass
sound, Zone 3 manual solo performance, and Zone 4
for playing an external MIDI tone generator. Also in
this settings, Zones 3 and 4 overlap in the same range,
and entire performance in four all zones is output
from the MIDI OUT connector so that you can record
that performance on an external MIDI sequencer. You
can make this configuration in the following steps.
Before you set up a 4-Zone configuration in the
following procedure, edit and prepare necessary
Voices (for Arpeggiator and manual play) in their
associated Edit Modes.

4Select one of “Zone01” to “Zone04” using the
Knob [A]. As we have selected “4zone” for the
Mode parameter, you can now select setting
screens for four Zones. Select “Zone01” to get
started with the settings.
You can also use the BANK [A] to [D] keys to
respectively select “Zone01” to “Zone04.”
Selecting a Zone opens the MKB Transmit
page. You may want to select a sub screen to
set up a Zone using the [PAGE] knob. But you
first specify basic items in the MKB Transmit
page, such as MIDI transmit channel, enabling
or disabling MIDI output to the internal tone
generator and to the MIDI OUT connector.
5Set MIDI transmit channel (TrnsCh) to “Ch01”
using the Knob [C]. Set MIDI output to the
internal tone generator (TG) and MIDI OUT
(MIDI) both to “on.”
These settings can differentiate each Zone from
one another, to internally or externally output
performance made in each Zone using a
separate MIDI channel. Finally, you will
separately control sound tones from four zones.
To do this, set “Ch01” to “Ch04” respectively to
the “TrnsCh” parameters in the MKB Transmit
pages for Zones 1 to 4. For the “TG” and
“MIDI” parameters, set both “on” for Zones 1
to 3. For Zone 4, set “off” to “TG” and “on” to
“MIDI.” You can switch between multiple
MKB Transmit screens using the Knob [A].
Some of basic settings for four zones are now
complete.
6Select “Zone01” again using the Knob [A].
Open the MKB Note screen using the [PAGE]
knob. In this screen, you can specify a key
range for a Zone.
In the MKB Note page, you can also find other
parameters such as Note Limit, Transpose, etc.
Refer to page 128 for more information about
these parameters.
7Set “Note Limit” (zone key range) with the
lowest and highest notes using Knobs [1]
(lowest) and [2] (highest). For “Zone01”, select
“C-2” for the lowest note and “B1” for the
highest.
8Use the Knob [A] to switch to the MKB Note

For detailed settings of a Zone, refer to page 127.
!Turn the Knob [A] and select a Part for a Zone.
In this example, we select Part 1 for Zone 1,
Part 2 and Part 3 respectively for Zone 2 and
Zone 3. We don’t select any internal Part for
Zone 4 since Zone 4 is set only to output
performance information via MIDI Out. First,
select Part 1 (Part01) for Zone 1.
You can also use the [MEMORY] or
PROGRAM/PART keys to select a Part for a
Zone (page 109).
@Use the [PAGE] knob and open the MIX Vce
screen, to set up a Voice for performance using
the Arpeggiator.
#Use the [PAGE] knob and open the Layer Mode
(LYR Mode) screen. Set the Arpeggiator
Switch (Arp) to “on,” Layer Switch (Layer) to
“off,” and MIDI receive channel (RcvCh) to
“1.” Finally in the Arpeggio type (ARP Type)
screen, set the Switch parameter to “on.”
Prepare basic Arpeggiator settings (Type, etc.) in
Voice Edit Mode before you set up a Zone setting
in Performance Edit Mode.
With settings made in steps ! to #, you can
now play the Arpeggiator with a Voice assigned
to “Part01” (Part 1) set to MIDI receive
channel 1 (RcvCh) when you play in the key
range of Zone 1.
$As in the same manner in steps ! to #, set up for

the key range of Zone 3.
You don’t need to make further settings for
Zone 4 since it is not intended for an internal
Part and has already been set to output
performance information via the MIDI OUT
connector in steps 5 to ). The key range of
Zone 4 matches to that of Zone 3 so that solo
performance made in that range will be sent on
MIDI channels 3 (from Zone 3) and 4 (from
Zone 4) via [MIDI OUT] to an external MIDI
device.
You can set additional Part settings in
Performance Edit Mode. If you have a trouble
possibly associated with these settings, such as no
sound from a specific Part, confirm any Part
settings related to volume, etc. Refer to page 120
for more information about Part settings.
^Before exiting Performance Edit Mode, store
above settings in a Performance. For storing a

Layer
The illustration below shows an example of a
Layer configuration. Layer refers to two separate
Parts with a overlapped key range, enabling to
play unison with these Parts. The following
example is to play unison with Voices selected for
Part 1 and Plug-in 1 Part. You can make this
configuration in the following steps.
Before you set up a Layer configuration in the

4Use Knobs [C] and [1] to respectively set MIDI
transmit channels for the Lower and Upper
parameters. Note that Lower and Upper refer
to two Parts (Zones) to be layered together.
These channel settings can create and send
performance information on two separate
channels to the internal tone generator and an
external MIDI device via the MIDI OUT
connector. Here we set “Ch01” for “Lower”
and “Ch02” for “Upper.”
You can also use the PROGRAM/PART keys [1]
to [16] to select MIDI channels for the Lower and
Upper Parts (Page 113).
5Turn the Knob [A] and select a Part. First
select “Part01” for the Upper Part.

Channel (RcvCh) to “1.”
If other Parts’ MIDI receive channels (RcvCh) are
set to the same ones assigned to two Parts, those
Parts will also sound when you play on the
keyboard. This might be troublesome if you
simply need two layered Parts. To mute
unnecessary Parts while you play on the
keyboard, set “RcvCh” for those Parts to “off.”
You can only play Voices from layered Parts.

settings related to volume, etc. Refer to page 120
for more information about Part settings.
9Before exiting Performance Edit Mode, store
above settings in a Performance. For storing a
Performance, refer to page 131.
In Performance Play Mode, recall the
Performance you have just saved. Simply
pressing the [MASTER KEYBOARD] key
activates or deactivates the Layer configuration
you made above.
Besides the Layer/Zone configuration in Master
Keyboard Modes, you can use the Layer Switch
(Layer) for each Part to make a Layer
configuration that consists of up to four Parts
(Page 123).
Sometimes, depending on the settings for each Part
of the source Performance, the desired effect may not
be achieved when editing. In this case, check the
following:
• Whether the Note Limit parameters at each Part’s
LYR Limit screen (Page 123) are set to a valid
range
• That the Output parameter at each Part’s LYR Out
screen (Page 123) has been set to “L&R”
If you’ve checked the above but still can’t resolve the
problem, initialize the Performance (Page 130) and
apply the settings again.
About Note Limit (Key Range)
Note Limit setups are provided for setting
Master Keyboard Mode, Part , and Voice. They
are associated to one another as follows.
While using in Master Keyboard Mode, you
can control the internal tone generator (or an
external MIDI device) according to “Note
Limit” in the MKB Note screen. If you limit a
Zone’s key range to two octaves, it is as if you
connect an external two-octaves keyboard
controller to play with the tone generator.
Meanwhile, the key range (playable range) of
an entire Voice is determined by “Note Limit”
in the LYR Limit screen (page 123) for a Part
assigned with that Voice. Such a playable
range of each Element of a Voice is determined
by “Note Limit” in the OSC Limit screen (page
80) available in Voice Edit Mode.
About the Control Sliders
While Master Keyboard Mode is turned on,
the Control Sliders [1] to [4] on the front panel
are respectively linked to Zones 1 to 4. When
these Sliders, for instance, are set to control
volumes for their corresponding Zones, you
can use them like a mixer’s channel faders to
balance volumes of Zones. These Sliders can
separately work so that you can assign a
different control function to each of them
(volume for Zone 1, pan for Zone 2, etc.).
You can make such assignments in the MKB
Assign screen (Page 129) in Performance Edit
Mode.

For Parts that do not require polyphony, the
Mode parameter can be set to “mono”
(monophonic).
By following steps 2 to 5 above, when you
play back a song file in the sequencer, the piano
track is transmitted through MIDI channel 2.
The MIDI data is received by the synthesizer
which then plays the Voice for the Part
assigned to MIDI channel 2.
6Repeat steps 2 to 5 above, but set up Part 3
for bass and to receive on MIDI channel 3.
7Repeat steps 2 to 5 again, setting up Part 10
for drums and to receive on MIDI channel 10.
To avoid situations where the Voices of unused
Parts are suddenly played back, you should set the
MIDI receive channels for unused Parts to “off.”
There are many other Part-specific parameters in
Performance Edit Mode. Details are given on
Page 111.
8Before exiting Performance Edit Mode, you
need to store the settings for the Performance.
Details about storing Performances are given on
Page 131.
Now, when you select this Performance in
Performance Play Mode, you can play back the
song file on computer (sequencer) or internal
sequencer, and the piano, bass and drum Parts
will be played back according to each track’s
MIDI channel.

Performance Mode lets you use your synthesizer as a
multitimbral tone generator for use with computer-
based music software or external sequencers. If each
track in a song file uses a different MIDI channel,
then the Parts in a Performance can be each assigned
to those MIDI channels correspondingly. Therefore,
you can play back a song file on an external
sequencer and have different Voices playing on
different tracks simultaneously.
In the following example, we will create a
Performance suited to playing back a song file
consisting of three Parts: piano, bass and drums. The
piano track is assigned to MIDI channel 2, the bass
track to channel 3, and the drums to channel 10.
The synthesizer’s internal sequencer can be used to
play back the song file. The included XGworks lite
computer sequencer software can also be used for
this, though you need to make sure that the
computer has been connected to your synthesizer
correctly (Page 16).
1After pressing the [PERFORM] key, press the
[EDIT] key (the respective LEDs will light).
You are now in Performance Edit Mode.
Before entering Performance Edit Mode, you need to
select a Performance for editing. Also make sure
that the [MASTER KEYBOARD] key LED is not lit.
2Use Knob [A] to select Parts. Here, you can
select Part 2 for the piano, Part 3 for bass and
Part 10 for drums. First, we will select Part 02.
3Use the [PAGE] knob to switch to the MIX Vce
(Mix Voice) screen, then specify the Voice to be
used as the piano Part.

Performing Live while
Playing Back a Song File
While playing back the song file with the piano,
bass and drum Parts assigned earlier, you can set
up the Performance so that you can also play
another Part live.
This is the same as the Performance created
earlier, but with the addition of another Part for
live playback. Regarding settings, the important
points are as follows.
• In the Performance created earlier, Parts 2, 3
and 10 were being used. As an example, we
will now assign another Part (Part 1) to a solo-
type Voice.
• At the LYR Mode screen, set the Layer
parameter for Part 1 to “on,” and make sure it
is set to "off" for Parts 2, 3 and 10.
If you want to manually play multiple (up to
four) Parts using some Voices from Parts 4 to 9,
11 to 16 and Plug-in Parts, set those Parts’ Layer
Switch parameters to “on.”
• At the GEN MIDI screen, set the LayerCh
(Layer Channel) parameter to BasicCh.
The Voice for Part 1 can now be played live
using the keyboard.
Using the A/D Input Part
If you have external sources (such as a microphone
or other audio equipment) connected to the
synthesizer’s A/D INPUT jack, you can use them
as Parts in a Performance.
Continuing with our example, you can add another
Part for vocals by assigning the A/D Input Part.
Therefore, while the song is playing back the piano,
bass and drums, you simultaneously play a solo live
and sing into the microphone. Effects such as
reverb can be added to the A/D Input Part (Pages
119 and 127), so you can assign an effect suited to
the vocals for the song. These effect settings will
also be saved with the Performance.

* You need to set the receive channel to control the A/D
Input Part parameters via MIDI. However, this is not
vital in this example.
Regarding settings, the important points are as
follows.
• Switch to the PartAD (A/D Input Part)
parameters and set the external input source
and template at the MIX Template screen.
There are 13 templates available already with a
variety of gain and effects settings for you to
select from according to the input source. Here,
we will be using the A/D Input Part for vocals
so let’s set the Src (Source) parameter to "mic"
and the Number (Template Number) parameter
to “Karaoke1.”
If you choose the wrong type of input source, you
may possibly damage your hearing and/or any
connected audio equipment. Make sure you set this
parameter correctly.
• Turn the GAIN knob (Page 11) all the way
down, then connect a microphone to the A/D
INPUT jack (MIC/LINE2 jack).
• Turn the GAIN knob back slowly while
singing/talking into the microphone until you
reach an ideal volume level.
There are other settings for controlling the A/D
Input Part via MIDI. Details are given on Page 122.
When you play a song file bearing the XG/GM logo
(available in the market), you may want to install an
optional XG Plug-in Board on the instrument, to enjoy
a best playback quality with a wide variety of Voices
and Effects. Note that you can install an additional XG
Plug-in Board to double polyphonic notes and Effects.
In such cases, you do not only enjoy the playback of a
song, but also can mute a specific Part from the song
file for a “minus-one” setting, which is convenient for
practice of solo performance or karaoke.
If you install the optional Effect Plug-in Board
(PLG100-VH), you can create harmonies of up to
three notes for your vocals. By assigning the
harmony channel to the keyboard’s MIDI transmit
channel, you can create vocoder-like effects. Or you
could play back a harmony line using a sequencer to
create a backing chorus for your vocals.

Voice Edit
There are three kinds of Voices: Normal Voices, Drum
Voices and Plug-in Voices (if a Plug-in board has been
installed). The following is an explanation of the
parameters used to edit each kind of Voice.
Details about Voices are given on Page 36.
The following is displayed when you enter Voice Edit
Mode. The displayed screens will vary according to the
type of Voice being edited, but basically the [PAGE]
knob is used to switch between screens and the
parameters on each screen are altered using Knobs [A],
[B], [C], [1] and [2]. The [DATA] knob and the
[INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] keys can be used to alter
parameters in small increments.
While holding down the [SHIFT] key, you can use
Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1] or [2] to move the cursor to the
respective parameter without changing it’s value. You
can also move the cursor using the [DATA] knob or the
[INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] keys while holding down the
[SHIFT] key.
You need to select the Voice before entering Voice Edit Mode
(Page 65). All parameters can be set and stored per Voice.
See page 21 on how to enter Voice Edit mode.
Common Edit and editing each Element
Voices can consist of up to four Elements (Page 37). Use
Common Edit to edit the settings common to all four
Elements. Voice Edit Mode can be divided into screens
for Common Edit and those for editing each Element.
In Voice Edit Mode, Knob [A] is used to switch
between the Common Edit screens and the screens
for editing each Element.

Voice Store
The edited settings for the current Voice will be lost
if you select another Voice or Mode. To avoid losing
important data, you should always use Voice Store
to store your edited Voice. Details about the Voice
Store procedure are given on Page 106.
When creating a new Voice from scratch, it can be
useful, prior to editing, to clear the settings for the
current Voice using the Initialize Voice function in
Voice Job Mode (Page 105).

GEN Other (General Other)
There are various parameters for Micro Tuning and for
controlling how the generated sound is output.
■ Mode
Select monophonic or polyphonic playback.
Select whether the Voice is played back
monophonically (single notes only) or
polyphonically (multiple simultaneous notes).
❏Settings: mono, poly
■ Assign
If you set Key Assign to “single,” the doubled
playback of the same note is prevented. The
synthesizer will terminate a note when the same
note is received again. If you select “multi,” the
synthesizer will consecutively assign each instance
of the same received note to a separate channel,
making multiple part tone generation possible.
❏Settings: single, multi
■ MicroTuning
Set the Micro Tuning (tuning system, or temperament) used
for the Voice. Normally you would use “Equal Temperament”
but there are also 31 other tuning systems available.
❏Settings: (see the following list)
Type Key Comments
Equal temperament
No.
00 The “compromise” tuning used for most of
the last 200 years of Western music, and
found on most electronic keyboards. Each
half step is exactly 1/12 of an octave, and
music can be played in any key with equal
ease. However, none of the intervals are
perfectly in tune.
1/4 shifted28 This is the normal equal tempered scale
shifted up 50 cents.
Twenty–four equally spaced notes per
octave. (Play twenty–four notes to move one
octave.)
Werckmeister25
Kirnberger26
Vallotti & Young27
Pure major C~B01~12
Pure minor A~G# The same as Pure Major, but designed for
the minor scale.
Andreas Werckmeister, a contemporary of
Bach, designed this tuning so that keyboard
instruments could be played in any key.
Each key has a unique character.
Francescantonio Vallotti and Thomas Young
(both mid–1700s) divised this adjustment to
the Pythagorean tuning in which the first six
fifths are lower by the same amount.
Johan Philipp Kirnberber was also
concerned with tempering the scale to allow
performances in any key.
13~24
This tuning is designed so that most of the
intervals (especially the major third and
perfect fifth) in the major scale are pure. This
means that other intervals will be
correspondingly out of tune. You need to
specify the key (C~B) you will be playing in.
1/4 tone29
Forty–eight equally spaced notes per octave.
(Play forty–eight notes to move one octave.)

QED Filter (Quick Edit Filter)
These parameters control filters which affect the tonal
quality of the Voice. If you are using LPF (Low Pass
Filter) and HPF (High Pass Filter) combined together,
the parameters in the QED Filter page only affects LPF.
■ Cutoff
Set the cutoff frequency. The frequency set here will be
a center frequency for signals to be filtered when they
pass through each filter.
❏Settings: -64 ~ 0~ +63
■ Reso (Resonance)
Set the amount of Resonance (harmonic boost)
applied to the signal around the Cutoff frequency.

Common Arpeggio
The following four parameters control the behavior of
the Arpeggiator.
ARP Type (Arpeggio Type)
ARP Limit (Arpeggio Note Limit)
ARP Mode (Arpeggio Mode)
ARP PlayEF (Arpeggio Play Effect)
ARP Type (Arpeggio Type)
These are the basic parameters of the Arpeggiator.
■ Type
Set the Arpeggio Type.
❏Settings: (see the separate Data List)
Sq (Sequence):
Creates a general arpeggio phrase. Mainly octave up/down phrases.
Ph (Phrase):
Creates more musical phrases than Sq. Starting with
“Techno,” there are phrases for a wide variety of musical
genres, and for creating backing tracks for guitar, piano and
other instruments.
Dr (Drum Pattern):
Creates drum pattern-type phrases. Phrase genres covered
include rock and dance. This Type is ideal for use with
drum and percussion sounds.
Ct (Control):
Creates tonal changes. No note information is created. The Key
Mode parameter in Arpeggio Mode must be set to “direct.”
■ Tempo
Set the Arpeggio Tempo.
❏Settings: 25 ~ 300
[MIDI] is displayed here and the parameter cannot be
altered if MIDI sync is enabled (Page 138).

❏Settings: off, on
■ Hold

❏Settings: syncoff (see below), off, on
syncoff
The first time you press a key, the first note of the
arpeggiator pattern is played. From the second and
subsequent key presses, the arpeggiator note that is played
back will depend on the arpeggiator tempo and the timing
of the arpeggio pattern. For example, in the case of a 1-bar
arpeggio pattern, if the second key press falls on the third
beat of the bar, the arpeggio pattern plays back from the
third beat onward. In other words, the first key press is
used to start the arpeggio pattern and thereafter you can
use the key to “mute” or “un-mute” the pattern by,
respectively, holding it down or releasing it. This is
particularly useful when the arpeggiator is being used to
generate drum patterns.
Details about this are given on Page 43.
ARP Limit (Arpeggio Note Limit)
■ Note Limit
Set the lowest and highest notes in the Arpeggiator’s
note range.
❏Settings: C-2 ~ G8 (lowest and highest set separately)
If you specify the highest note first and the lowest note
second, for example “C5 to C4,” then the note range
covered will be “C-2 to C4” and “C5 to G8.”
You can set the lowest and highest notes in the range by
pressing notes on the keyboard while holding down the
[SHIFT] key.
ARP Mode (Arpeggio Mode)
These parameters control the way in which notes are
played back by the Arpeggiator.
■ Key Mode
Set how the Arpeggio is played back when keys on
the keyboard are pressed. There are 3 modes.
❏Settings:
sort:
Plays back notes in ascending order from the lowest key
pressed to the highest.
thru:
Plays back notes in the order in which the keys are pressed.
direct:
Plays back the notes exactly as you play them. If changes
to Voice parameters (such as Pan or Cutoff frequency) are
included in the Arpeggio sequence data, they will be
applied and reproduced whenever the Arpeggio plays back.
ARPíMode) Key Mode Vel Mode
C 1234 sort thru
ARPíLimit) Note Limit
C 1234 C-2 - G 8
If the Arpeggio Category is set to Ct, you will not hear
any sounds unless you select “direct” here.
With the “sort” and “thru” settings, the order in which
notes are played back will depend on the Arpeggio
sequence data.
■ Vel Mode (Velocity Mode)
Set the playback velocity of the Arpeggio. There are
2 modes.
❏Settings:
original:
Preset velocities are used in the Arpeggio sequence.
thru:
Velocities of the notes you play are used in the Arpeggio
sequence.
ARP PlayEF (Arpeggio Play Effects)
You can set Play Effects for the Arpeggio. Play Effects
can be used to temporarily adjust the timing and
velocity of MIDI notes, thus affecting the groove of the
Arpeggio pattern.
■ Unit
Adjust the Arpeggio playback time. For example, if
you set a value of 200%, the playback time will be
doubled and the tempo halved. Alternatively, if you
set a value of 50%, the playback time will be halved
and the tempo doubled. Normal playback time is
100%.
❏Settings: 50%, 66%, 75%, 100%, 133%, 150%, 200%
■ Vel (Velocity)
Set the Velocity offset value (the strength at which
the keyboard is played). This determines how the
original Velocities are increased or decreased during
Arpeggio playback. A setting of 100% means the
original values are used. Settings below 100% will
reduce the velocity of the Arpeggio notes, whereas
settings above 100% will increase the velocities.
❏Settings: 0% ~ 200%
If the Velocity value falls below 1, it will be limited to 1.
If it exceeds 127, it will be limited to 127.
■ Gate (Gate Time)
Set the Gate Time Rate value (the length of a note).
This determines how the original Gate Times are
increased or decreased during Arpeggio playback. A
setting of 100% means the original values are used.
Settings below 100% will shorten the gate times of
the Arpeggio notes, whereas settings above 100%
will lengthen them.
❏Settings: 0% ~ 200%
If the Gate Time value falls below 1, it will be limited to 1.

CTL Portamento
Set the Portamento parameters. Portamento will create
a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played
to the next.
■ Switch
Switch Portamento on or off.
❏Settings: off, on
■ Time
Set the pitch transition time. Higher values mean
longer transition times.
❏Settings: 0 ~ 127
■ Mode
Set the Portamento mode. The behavior of the
Portamento varies depending on whether Mode in
GEN Other is set to “mono” or “poly.”
❏Settings: fingered, fulltime
If the Mode in GEN Other is set to “mono”:
fingered:
Portamento is only applied when you play legato (playing
the next note before releasing the previous one).
fulltime:
Portamento is always applied.
If the Mode in GEN Other is set to “poly”:
This is the same as for “mono,” except that Portamento is
applied to multiple notes.
CTLíPortamento) Switch Time Mode

CTL Bend (Pitch Bend)
You can set the amount by which the Pitch Bend
Wheel changes the pitch of the Voice.
■ Lower
Set the amount (in semitones) by which the Voice
pitch changes when the Pitch Bend Wheel is moved
downwards. For example, a value of -12 means that
the pitch of the Voice drops by up to an octave when
the Pitch Bend Wheel is moved downwards.
❏Settings: -48 ~ 0~ +24
■ Upper
Set the amount (in semitones) by which the Voice
pitch changes when the Pitch Bend Wheel is moved
upwards. For example, a value of +12 means that
the pitch of the Voice rises by up to an octave when
the Pitch Bend Wheel is moved upwards.
❏Settings: -48 ~ 0~ +24
CTL Set1 (Control Set 1) to CTL Set6
(Control Set 6)
The controllers and knobs on the front panel, the
keyboard, and so on can be assigned a variety of uses.
For example, keyboard aftertouch can be used to
control vibrato and the Modulation Wheel could be
used to control Resonance. They can even be used to
control parameters within individual Elements. These
control assignments are called “Control Sets.” You can
assign up to six different Control Sets per Voice. Thus
there are six screens, each for a separate controller:
CTL Set1 to CTL Set6.
■ Src (Source)
Set the Controller used to control the function chosen
in Dest. The following nine controllers are available.

❏Settings: off, each-on, 1st-on
off
The LFO is self-running (no synchronization) and starts a
waveform at any phase when you play on the keyboard.
each-on
The LFO resets with each note you play and starts a waveform
at the phase specified by the Phase parameter (see below).
1st-on
The LFO resets with every note you play and starts the
waveform at the phase specified by the Phase parameter
(Show below). If you play a second note while the first
note is being played (Note Off has not been received), the
LFO does not reset to the specified phase (no
synchronization) with the second note and after.

Filters
To generalize, there are basically four types of filter: an LPF
(Low Pass Filter), an HPF (High Pass Filter), a BPF (Band
Pass Filter) and a BEF (Band Elimination Filter). Each
available filter has a different frequency response. There
are also combinations of LPF and HPF.
• LPF (Low Pass Filter):
This only passes signals below the Cutoff frequency. You
can then use the Reso (Resonance) parameter to add further
character to the sound. Six types of LPF are available.

LPF18 (Low Pass Filter 18dB/oct)
A 3-pole (-18db/oct) dynamic LPF.
LPF18S (Low Pass Filter 18dB/oct Staggered)
Also a 3-pole (-18db/oct) dynamic LPF, but with a
shallower frequency curve.
LPF12 (Low Pass Filter 12dB/oct)
A 2-pole (-12db/oct) dynamic LPF, designed to be used in
combination with an HPF (High Pass Filter).
LPF6 (Low Pass Filter 6dB/oct)

■ Cutoff
Set the Cutoff frequency. This is used as the basic
frequency for the selected Filter Type.
❏Settings: 0 ~ 255
■ Reso (Resonance)/Band/Width
This parameter’s function varies according to the
selected Filter Type. If an LPF or HPF has been
selected, this parameter is used to set the Resonance.
For the BPF (excluding the BPFW) and the BEF, it is
used to select the Band. For the BPFW, it is used to
adjust the Width of the band.
With the LPF and HPF, the Reso parameter is used
to set the amount of Resonance (harmonic
emphasis) applied to the signal at the Cutoff
frequency. This can be used in combination with
the Cutoff frequency parameter to add further
character to the sound.
With the BPF, the Band parameter is used to set the
range (band) of signal frequencies passed by the filter.
With the BEF, it is used to set the band of signal
frequencies attenuated by the filter. In both cases, the
Cutoff frequency is the center frequency of the band.
With the BPFW, the Width parameter is used to
adjust the width of the band of signal frequencies
passed by the filter.
❏Settings: 0 ~ 31
FLT HPF (High Pass Filter)
You can set the Key Follow parameters for the High

FLT Scale (Filter Scale Break Point)
You can set four Filter Scaling Break Points for each
Element. Filter Scaling controls the filter cutoff
frequency according to the positions of the notes on the
keyboard. There are four Break Points used to divide
and assign different settings across the keyboard. The
Levels (Offsets) at each of Break Point are set in the
FLT Scale screen.
Details about Filter Scaling are given later in the section
“Filter Scaling Settings.”
■ BP1/BP2/BP3/BP4 (Break Point 1/2/3/4)
Set the Break Points for each Element. BP1 to BP4
will be automatically be arranged in ascending order
across the keyboard.
❏Settings: BP1 to BP4: C-2 ~ G8

are used by the Break Points (BP1/BP2/BP3/BP4).
Details about Filter Scaling are given below in the
section “Filter Scaling Settings.”
❏Settings: Ofst1 to Ofst4: -128 ~ 0 ~ +127
Filter Scaling Settings
By way of example, you could set the Levels
(Offsets) and Break Points (BP1 to BP4) as follows.
Here, the current Cutoff setting is 64. The Offsets are
–4 at BP1 (set to note E1), +10 at BP2 (set to note
B2), +17 at BP3 (set to note G4) and +4 at BP4 (set
to A5). That is, the Cutoff frequencies at each Break
Point are 60, 74, 81 and 68, respectively. For other
notes, the Cutoff frequencies will be on the straight
line connecting the two adjacent Break Points.
The Break Points are automatically arranged in
ascending order across the keyboard. For example,
BP2 cannot be set to a lower note than that of BP1.
The Break Point Levels are Offsets used to increase or
decrease the current Cutoff setting at the specified
notes. Regardless of the size of these Offsets, the
minimum and maximum Cutoff limits (values of 0
and 127, respectively) cannot be exceeded.
A note set below the BP1 will become the BP1 Level.
A note set above BP4 will become the BP4 Level.

Level screen (Page 71) are the final Chorus Send level
settings.
For a Drum Key with the Insertion Effect set to other
than Thru, the Chorus Send level will be determined by
the QED Level screen.
Details about the Effects are given on Page 55.
OSC Pan (Oscillator Pan)
Assign Pan settings for each Drum Key in the Drum
Voice. Different Pan types are available.
The Pan, Alter (Alternate) and Random settings will be
ignored if you set the output to “ind1” to “ind6.”
OSCíPan) Pan Alter Random Output

OSCíOut) Level InsEF RevSend ChoSend
Key=C 3 127 thru 64 127
■ Pan
Set the Pan position for each sound in a Drum Voice
(Drum Kit). This will also be used as the basic Pan
position for the Alternate and Random settings.
❏Settings: L63 (Left) ~ C (Center) ~ R63 (Right)
■ Alter (Alternate)
Set the amount by which the sound is panned
alternately left and right for each note you press.
The Pan setting is used as the basic Pan position.
❏Settings: L64 (Left) ~ 0 (Center) ~ R63 (Right)
This parameter is only available if the Type parameter
in the OSC Wave screen is set to “wave.” If set to “vce”
(Normal Voice), this parameter is unavailable.
■ Random
Set the amount by which the sound is panned
randomly left and right for each note you press. The
Pan setting is used as the basic Pan position.
❏Settings: 0 ~ 127
This parameter is only available if the Type parameter
in the OSC Wave screen is set to “wave.”
■ Output
Assign each Drum Key to an output.
❏Settings: L&R (OUTPUT L & R), ind1&2 (INDIVIDUAL
OUTPUT 1 & 2), ind1 (INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT
1), ind2, ind3, ind4, ind5, ind6
Settings “ind3” to “ind6” are for future expansion
purposes and are currently not available.
For example, if you choose “ind1&2,” the left channel
will be output through INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT1 and
the right channel will be output through INDIVIDUAL
OUTPUT2.
OSC Other (Oscillator Other)
You can set parameters which govern the sound of each
Drum Key making up the Drum Voice.
■ Assign

■ RcvNtOff (Receive Note Off)
Select whether MIDI Note Off messages are received
by each Drum Key.
❏Settings: off, on
This parameter depends on the Type of Drum Key
Wave chosen in the OSC Wave screen.
■ AltGrp (Alternate Group)
Set the Alternate Group to which the Wave is
assigned. In a real drum kit, some drum sounds
cannot physically be played simultaneously, such as
open and closed hi-hats. You can prevent Waves from
playing back simultaneously by assigning them to the
same Alternate Group. Up to 127 Alternate Groups
can be defined. You can also select “off” here if you
wish to allow the simultaneous playback of sounds.
❏Settings: off, 1 ~ 127
Drum Key Pitch
Set the pitch of each Drum Key. The tunings and Pitch
EG parameters can be set for each Drum Key.
PCH Tune (Pitch Tune)
■ Coarse
Adjust the pitch of each Drum Key Wave (or Normal
Voice) in semitones.
❏Settings: -48 ~ +48
For a Normal Voice, this parameter adjusts the position
of its note (not its pitch) relative to note C3. For
example, let’s assume the original Voice consists of a
two-Element piano-like sound up to note C3 and a two-
Element string-like sound from note C#3 upwards.
Adjusting this Coarse setting by +1 would not change
the pitch of the piano-like sound to C#3. Instead, note
C#3 of the original Voice (i.e., the string-like sound)
would be used.
■ Fine
Fine-tune the pitch of each Drum Key Wave (or
Normal Voice).
❏Settings: -64 ~ +63
■ VelSens (Velocity Sensitivity)
Set the velocity sensitivity of the pitch. Positive
settings will cause the pitch to rise the harder you
play the keyboard and negative settings will cause it
to fall.
❏Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63
This parameter is only available if the Type parameter
in the OSC Wave screen is set to “wave.”
PCHíTune) Coarse Fine VelSens
Key=C 3 + 0 + 0 +63
Drum Key Filter
You can apply filter settings to the Drum Voice. A Low
Pass Filter and High Pass Filter can be applied per
Wave to change its tonal characteristics.
This parameter is only available if the Type parameter in
the OSC Wave screen is set to “wave.”
FLT Cutoff (Filter Cutoff)
■ LPF (Low Pass Filter)
Set the Cutoff frequency of the Low Pass Filter.
Only frequencies below this point are passed. You
can then use the Reso (Resonance) parameter to add
further character to the sound.
❏Settings: 0 ~ 255
Details about the Low Pass Filter are given on Page 83.
■ VelSens (Velocity Sensitivity)
Set the velocity sensitivity of the Low Pass Filter
Cutoff frequency. Positive settings will cause the
cutoff frequency to rise the harder you play the
keyboard and negative settings will cause it to fall.
❏Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63
■ Reso (Resonance)
Set the amount of Resonance (harmonic emphasis)
applied to the signal at the Cutoff frequency. This
can be used in combination with the Cutoff
frequency of the Low Pass Filter to add further
character to the sound.
❏Settings: 0 ~ 31
Details about Resonance are given on Page 85.
■ HPF (High Pass Filter)
Set the Cutoff frequency of the High Pass Filter.
Only frequencies above this point are passed.
❏Settings: 0 ~ 255
Details about the High Pass Filter are given on Page 84.
Drum Key Amplitude
You can set amplitude (output level) parameters for
each Drum Key. The following two parameters are
available.
This parameter is only available if the Type parameter in
the OSC Wave screen is set to “wave.”

AMP AEG (Amplitude Envelope
Generator)
The Amplitude Envelope Generator controls the
change in amplitude from the moment a note in
pressed on the keyboard to the moment it is released.
By setting the Attack Time, Decay 1 Time and the
Decay 1/2 Level, you can determine how fast the sound
reaches its peak amplitude and how it fades out.
Parameters can be set for each Drum Key.
This parameter is only available if the Type parameter in
the OSC Wave screen is set to “wave.”
■ Attack (Attack Time)
Set the Attack Time.
❏Settings: 0 ~ 127
■ Decay1 (Decay 1 Time)
Set the Decay Time.
❏Settings: 0 ~ 127
■ Level (Decay 1 Level)

❏Settings: 0 ~ 127
■ Decay2 (Decay 2 Time)
Set the Decay 2 Time.
If you select “hold,” the level amplitude will be held
until you release the note.
❏Settings: 0 ~ 126, hold
AMP VelSens (Amplitude Velocity
Sensitivity)
You can define how the amplitude (output level) varies
according to the velocity of the received notes.
■ Level
Set the velocity sensitivity of the Amplitude Envelope
Generator’s output level. Positive settings will cause the
output level to rise the harder you play the keyboard
and, conversely, negative values will cause it to fall.
❏Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63
AMPíVelSens) Level
Key=C 3 +63
AMPíAEG) Attack Decay1---Level Decay2
Key=C 3 127 127 127 126
Amplitude Envelope Generator Settings
The Amplitude Envelope Generator has three Time
parameters and one Level parameter. These govern the
transitions between output levels for the duration of a
note. The Attack Time is the time taken for the sound to
reach its peak output level from the moment a note is
played on the keyboard. The Decay 1/2 Time and the
Decay 1 Level parameters are used to set the behavior of
the remainder (between the sound’s peak output level and
the point at which it fades to zero). Furthermore, you can
set these parameters to be sensitive to note velocity.
The Attack Level is fixed at its maximum value.
Decay2=hold
Drum Key EQ (Equalizer)
You can set Equalizer parameters for each Drum Key.
The following two screens are available. These
parameters are the same as for Normal Voices; details
are given on Page 91.

Plug-in Voices
The Voices held on Plug-in Boards (Single Part) are
known as Board Voices. A Plug-in Voice is a Board Voice
that has been processed in the synthesizer in Voice Edit
Mode. There are six Common Edit screens and four
screens for editing the Element of a Plug-in Voice. You
can save up to 64 edited Plug-in Voices in Banks A to D of
Memory PLG1/2.
After selecting the Plug-in Voice you wish to edit (in
Banks A to D of Memory PLG1/2), when you enter
Voice Edit Mode, you will see the Voice Edit Mode
screen that you had exited from previously.
Monitoring Board Voices
You can monitor Board Voices without having to
enter Edit Mode. Also, if you press the [EDIT] key
while monitoring, you will enter Edit Mode with
the oscillators of the Board Voice already assigned.
1 While holding down the [PLG1] or [PLG2] key, use
Knob [C] to select the Board Voice’s Bank. “PLG
INT” is the Bank of the Plug-in Voice (Plug-in
Internal) stored in Memory PLG1/2.
2 Release the [PLG1] or [PLG2] key. Select the
Board Voice using the BANK/PROGRAM keys or
[DATA] knob as in the same way to select a Voice
from another memory.
If there is no Voice at the Program Number
corresponding with the selected Bank, no sound will
be produced.
To edit the Board Voices on the Plug-in Board, you need
to use a computer and the included editor software.
Details about Plug-in Voices and Board Voices are
given on Pages 32, 104.
Many parameters are the same as for Normal Voices
(the gray items in the tree diagram). Only those items
that differ are explained here.
Details about the other parameters are given in the Normal
Voice explanation on Page 69.

Editing Plug-in Board Voices
Plug-in Voices are based on Board Voices. However, the
Board Voices themselves can be edited via computer,
using the included editor software. Different editors
are available for different Plug-in Boards.
When using the editor while the synthesizer is in
Voice Mode, set the “Part No.” in the editor to “1.”
Also, make sure the synthesizer’s Basic Receive
channel is the same as that set in the editor’s MIDI
channel.
Your edits made to a Board Voice will be retained in
the Custom Bank until you turn off the instrument.
Note that the Custom Bank is a temporary memory so
that edits in the Bank will be erased when you turn off
the instrument. Therefore, it may be necessary to save
Board Voice data using a computer.
Details about how to use the editor are given in the
on-line help.
When bulk-dumping Board Voice data, the edited
Board Voices is received in the Custom Bank
according to the Bank Select Message (MSB/LSB)
unique to each Plug-in Board. Therefore, to play
back these Board Voices, you need to select the
appropriate Banks in the synthesizer.
1 In Voice Play Mode, select any Voice in a Plug-in
Memory (PLG1 or PLG2).
2 The Board Voice you have edited can now be
played back if a Custom Bank has been selected at
this screen.
For details about Custom Banks, Bank Select
Numbers (MSB/LSB) and Board Voices, refer to the
Owner’s Manual or the on-line help that came with
your Plug-in Board.
Once you have transmitted the edited Board Voice
data to the synthesizer and saved it to Memory Card
as a “plugin” file type, you can load the file without
having to connect the computer.

Plug-in Memory
(PLG 1/2)
If a Board Voice in the Custom Bank has been edited
in Voice Edit Mode, you can store it as a Plug-in
Voice in Memory Bank A to D of PLG1 or PLG2.
Up to 64 can be stored in each Bank.
However, only the Voice Edit parameters can be
stored. The edited Board Voice parameters cannot
be stored. Therefore, you will lose all Board Voice
edits when you switch your synthesizer off.
To avoid this situation, you should save your Board
Voice edits to Memory Card and then load the data
as a Plug-in Voice.
After loading Board Voice data, if you select Plug-in
Voice Memories (PLG1/PLG2) A to D, the stored
sound (the edited Plug-in Voice based on the Board
Voice) is loaded.
The “all” setting is not available when saving Board
Voice data; it is saved as a “plugin” file type. If the
file name is set such that the file loads automatically
(Page 143), the Board Voice data can also be loaded
up when the synthesizer is switched on.
It may take a while to save or load the Board Voice
data using Memory Card.
Details about saving/loading data to/from Memory
Card are given on Page 144.
The editor for Plug-in Board is a plug-in program for
XGworks(lite). You will need to be running
Windows and XGworks(lite) in order to use it.
XGworks lite is included on the CD-ROM included
with this synthesizer.

VCE Initialize
You can reset (initialize) all parameters of a Voice to
their default settings. You can also selectively initialize
certain parameters, such as Common settings, settings
for each Element/Drum Key, and so on. Note that this
does not return the Voice to its original state prior to
editing. Instead, it is useful when building a
completely new Voice from scratch.
■ Select type of parameter to Initialize
Use Knob [C], the [DATA] knob or the [DEC/NO]
and [INC/YES] keys to select the parameter to be
initialized. The parameters available for
initialization will vary depending on the type of
Voice currently selected (Normal/Drum/Plug-in).
❏Settings:
normal Voice:
Current Voice, Current Common, Current Element 1 ~ 4
Drum Voice:
Current Voice, Current Common (data common to all Drum
Keys), Current Key C0 ~ C6 (Drum Key C0 ~ C6)
Plug-in Voice:
Current Voice, Current Common, Current Element
VCE Edit Recall
If you are editing a Voice but you do not store it before
switching to another Voice, the edits you have made
will be cleared. In such a situation, you can use the
Recall function to reinstate the edits for the Voice.
VCE Copy
You can copy Common and Element/Drum Key
parameter settings from any Voice to the Voice you are
editing. This is useful if you are creating a Voice and
wish to use some parameter settings from another
Voice.
This function is not used for copying whole Voices from
one location to another. It is used for copying parameter
settings from an existing Voice to the current Voice you are
editing.

■ Formatting Memory Cards
Before using a Memory Card with your instrument it
must first be formatted. Once it is formatted all data on
it will be erased. Be sure to check if the data is
unnecessary for you or not, beforehand.
The Memory Cards formatted with this instrument may
become unusable with other instruments.
■ About the Memory Cards
• To handle Memory Cards with care:
There are times when static electricity affects Memory
Cards. Before you handle Memory Cards, to reduce the
possibility of static electricity, touch the metal parts such as
a door knob and aluminum sash.
Be sure to remove the Memory Card from the Memory Card
slot when it is not in use for a long time.
Do not expose the Memory Card to direct sunlight,
extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive
humidity, dust or liquids.
Do not place heavy objects on a Memory Card or bend or
apply pressure to the Memory Card in any way.
Do not touch the metal part (gold) of the Memory Card
or put any metallic plate onto the metal part.
Do not expose the Memory Card to magnetic fields, such
as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc.,
since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase
data on the Memory Card, rendering it unreadable.
Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to
a Memory Card. Also make sure that labels are attached
in the proper location.
• To protect your data (Write-protect):
To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, stick
the write-protect seal (provided in the Memory Card
package) onto the designated area (within a circle) of
the Memory Card.
Conversely speaking, to save data on the Memory Card,
make sure to remove the write-protect seal from the Card.
Do not reuse the seal that is peeled off.
■ Data Backup
For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that
you keep two copies of important data on separate
Memory Cards. This gives you a backup if one Memory
Card is lost or damaged.
■ Burglarproof Lock
This instrument is equipped with a burglarproof lock
for the Memory Card. If necessity arises, mount the
burglarproof lock onto the instrument.
To mount the burglarproof lock:
1 Remove the metallic part using a Phillips screwdriver.
2 Turn the metallic part upside down and then
mount it again.
142
Card Mode
In Card Mode, you can use Memory Card, a SmartMedia™ card
available at a consumer electronics shop, etc., to save or load
data from/to the instrument or perform other data exchange
operations between memories on the instrument and the Card.
Using the included Card Filer software, you can use a computer
to manage data on Memory Card. You can also use it to
exchange data between the computer and Memory Card.
Handling the Memory Card(SmartMedia™*)
Be sure to handle Memory Cards with care. Follow the
important precautions below.
* SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.
■ Compatible Memory Card Type
3.3V(3V) Memory Cards can be used. 5V type Memory
Cards are not compatible with this instrument.
■ Memory Capacity
There are five types of Memory Cards:
2MB/4MB/8MB/16MB/32MB. A Memory Card with the
memory capacity exceeding 32MB can also be used if it
conforms to the standards of SSFDC (Solid State Memory
Card Card: another name of SmartMedia) Forum.
■ Inserting/Removing Memory Cards
• To insert a Memory Card:
Hold the Memory Card so that the connector section
(gold) of the Memory Card is facing downward and
forward, towards the Memory Card slot. Carefully insert
the Memory Card into the slot, slowly pushing it all the
way in until it is fitted in place.
- Don’t insert the Memory Card in wrong direction.
- Don’t insert anything other than a Memory Card in
the slot.
• To remove a Memory Card:
Make sure to turn the instrument off and pull the Memory
Card out of the slot.
Always the instrument must be turned off before
removing the Memory Card.
However, if the Memory Card's memory is full and you
want to exchange it with a new one to save your
currently edited data, follow the following procedure:
Before removing the Memory Card, be sure to confirm
that the Memory Card is not in use, or it is not being
accessed by the instrument. Then pull the Memory Card
out slowly by hand. If the Memory Card is being
accessed*, a message indicating that it is in use appears on
the instrument's display.
* It includes saving, loading, formatting, deleting and
making directory. Also, be aware that the instrument will
automatically access the Memory Card to check the media
type when it is inserted while the instrument is turned on.
Never attempt to remove the Memory Card or turn
the power off during accessing. Doing so can
damage the data on the instrument/Memory Card
and possibly the Memory Card itself.

■ SMF (Standard MIDI Files)
Format 0 Standard MIDI Files (SMFs) can be played
back in Song Mode. However, they cannot be saved.
❏ Extension: “.MID”
The SMF is a standardized sequence file format used by
musical instrument manufacturers, computer software
companies and other parties. An SMF can easily be
exchanged between SMF-compatible sequencers,
regardless of the manufacturer. The following two
types of SMF exist, though this synthesizer will only
play back Format 0 SMFs.
• Format 0:
Data for multiple MIDI channels is contained within a
single track.
• Format 1:
Data for multiple MIDI channels is contained within
multiple tracks.
If the SMF you wish to play back is in Format 1, use the
included Card Filer software to convert to Format 0 via
computer. Details of how to convert SMFs are given in
the Card Filer documentation (in PDF format). Details
about installing the Card Filer software are given in the
separate Installation Guide.
Automatically Loading Files
The synthesizer can automatically load certain files
(All/Plug-in data) when you switch it on.
Name the file to be loaded automatically as follows,
then save it to the highest directory of the Memory
Card. Insert the card into the CARD slot before
switching the synthesizer on.
Data will be loaded automatically and any existing
data in memory will be overwritten. Therefore, you
should save important data to Memory Card (or
other media) beforehand.
To prevent the automatic loading of files, hold down
the [EXIT] key when powering up the synthesizer.
Release the key when the “Now checking plug-in
board.” message is displayed.

How to Install the
Optional Plug-in Board
1 Turn the keyboard power off, and disconnect the power
cord. Also, if the keyboard is connected with other
external device(s), disconnect the device(s).
2 Move to a position facing the rear panel of the keyboard,
and remove the screws from the Plug-in board cover at
the bottom center side with a coin or a Phillips
screwdriver (three SILVER screws only). Do not remove
the other screws.
n Keep the removed screws in a safe place. They will be used when
attaching the Plug-in board cover to the keyboard again.
3 Remove the Plug-in board cover by pulling it to your side.
The plate incorporated with the Plug-in board cover will
appear. The plate can accommodate two Plug-in boards,
on its top and bottom: PLG1 (top) and PLG2 (bottom).
Those two can be identified by the color of the connector
cable.
PLG1: One of the cables is ORANGE and the
others are blue.
PLG2: One of the cables is YELLOW and the
others are blue.
Available slot (PLG1, PLG2) differs depending on the type
of the Plug-in boards. For details, refer to the table above in
the left column.
When installing the optional Plug-in board (from when you
remove the cover to when the cover is replaced securely)
all operations must be done with the AC power cord
disconnected.
Top (PLG1)
Bottom (PLG2)
A variety of optional Plug-in boards sold separately let you
expand the voice library of your instrument. The following
types of Plug-in boards can be used with your instrument.
● PLG150-AN
● PLG150-PF
● PLG100-XG
● PLG150-VL
● PLG150-DX
● PLG100-VH
n See page 32 for detailed explanations for each board.
Available slot (PLG1, PLG2) differs depending on the type of
the Plug-in boards. Please take it into consideration before
installation.
n Although the PLG100-VL and PLG100-DX can also be installed,
some of the functions are not available.
Precautions When Installing
the Optional Boards
Remember the following precautions and install the Plug-in
boards properly by following the steps as written.
• Handle the Plug-in boards with care. Dropping or
subjecting the Plug-in board to any kind of shock may
cause damage or result in a malfunction.
• Be careful of static electricity. There are times when static
electricity affects the IC chips on the Plug-in board.
Before you lift the optional Plug-in board, to reduce the
possibility of static electricity, touch the metal parts other
than the painted area or a ground wire on the devices that
are grounded.
• Do not touch the exposed metal parts in the circuit board.
Touching these parts may result in a faulty contact.
• When moving a cable, be careful not to let it catch on the
circuit Plug-in board. Forcing the cable in anyway may
cut the cable, cause damage, or result in a malfunction.
• Before starting installation, be sure that you have a coin
or a Phillips screwdriver at hand.
• Be careful not to misplace any of the screws since all of
them are used.
• Do not use any screws other than what are installed on
the instrument.
• When inserting Plug-in boards and connecting cables,
make sure that you check that they are inserted and
connected properly. Improperly inserted Plug-in boards
and cables may cause faulty contacts and an electrical
short circuit which may cause damage or result in a
malfunction.
• After mounting the Plug-in board be sure to tighten the
screws as directed so it is completely stable and does not
move in any way.

The use of an extension cord is not recommended! If you must use an
extension cord, the minimum wire size for a 25’ cord (or less) is 18
AWG. NOTE: The smaller the AWG number, the larger the current
handling capacity. For longer extension cords, consult a local electri-
cian.
6. Ventilation: Electronic products, unless specifically designed
for enclosed installations, should be placed in locations that do not
interfere with proper ventilation. If instructions for enclosed installa-
tions are not provided, it must be assumed that unobstructed ventila-
tion is required.

WARNING Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: • This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. • Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. • Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. • Always connect the three-pin attachment plug to a properly grounded power source. (For more information about the main power supply, see page 12.) • If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. • Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. CAUTION Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: • Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it. • Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over. • When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it. • Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician. • Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. • Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms. • Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. ■REPLACING THE BACKUP BATTERY • This instrument contains a non rechargeable internal backup battery which permits internal data to remain stored even when the power is off. When the backup battery needs replacing, the message "Change internal battery." will display in the LCD. When this happens, immediately back up your data, then have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery. • Do not attempt to replace the backup battery yourself, in order to prevent the possible serious hazards. Always have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery. • Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components. • Never place the backup battery in a location that a child can reach, since a child might accidentally swallow the battery. If this should happen, consult a physician immediately. • Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products. ■SAVING USER DATA • Always save data to a Memory Card (SmartMedia) frequently, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error. • Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables. • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard. • Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors. (2)-6 Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed. Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use. Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha S80 Music Synthesizer.

Basics Section HOST SELECT switch (Page 16) Select the type of computer connected to the synthesizer via the TO HOST connector . Basics Section Before Use This section explains how to connect to an AC power source, audio and MIDI devices, and a computer system. Only switch the synthesizer on after you have made all the necessary connections. It is recommended that you read this section before using the synthesizer. Power Supply Rear panel AC INLET terminal Power cord (included) 1Make sure that the instrument’s POWER switch is at the OFF position. 2Connect the supplied power cord to the AC INLET terminal on the instrument’s rear panel. 3Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC outlet. Make sure the synthesizer meets the voltage requirement for the country or region in which it is being used. Make sure your S80 is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (as listed on the rear panel). Connecting the unit to the wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may even pose a shock hazard! Use only the AC power cord supplied with the S80. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard! The type of AC power cord provided with the S80 may be different depending on the country in which it is purchased (a third prong may be provided for grounding purposes). Improper connection of the grounding conductor can create the risk of electrical shock. Do NOT modify the plug provided with the S80. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use a plug adapter which defeats the grounding conductor. 12 Connecting to External Audio Equipment Since the synthesizer has no built-in speakers, you need to monitor its sound output via external audio equipment. Alternatively, you could use a pair of headphones. There are several methods of connecting to external audio equipment, as described in the following illustrations. Connecting Stereo Powered Speakers A pair of powered speakers can accurately produce the instrument’s rich sounds with their own pan and effect settings. Connect your powered speakers to the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks on the rear panel. Powered speaker (Left) Powered speaker (Right) Headphones INPUT PHONES INPUT OUTPUT L/MONO OUTPUT R S80 When using just one powered speaker, connect it to the OUTPUT L/MONO jack on the rear panel. Connecting to a Mixer There are extra audio outputs in addition to the OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks. These four outputs can connect to a mixer for separately controlling the outputs of up to four Parts in Performance Mode (Page 107). You can specify the output routing of each Part in Performance Edit Mode (Page 111). 13 Basics Section Connections Speaker Basics Section Amplifier L R Mixer OUTPUT L R Headphones 1 PHONES 2 3 4 5 6 OUTPUT L / MONO 7 8 R 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT1 L R INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT2 S80 Connecting a pair of headphones does not affect audio output from the OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks. You can monitor the same sounds via headphones and at the OUTPUT jacks. However, you cannot monitor the sounds from INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT 1 and 2 with headphones. Connecting a Microphone or Other Audio Equipment When an A/D Input Part is used in a Performance, signals from devices connected to either of these jacks can be input in mono. CD Player or other audio equipment (merged to mono internally) Microphone (mono devices) A/D INPUT S80 After the above connections are complete, you are ready to set up for recording. When starting a recording, you may need to adjust the input gain of the audio source using the GAIN knob. Details about A/D Input, including how to adjust the input gain, are given on Pages 63, 119. If you choose the wrong type of input source (Pages 119, 120), you may possibly damage your hearing and/or any connected audio equipment. Make sure you set this parameter correctly. Before connecting a device to the A/D INPUT jack, always turn the GAIN knob all the way down. You can connect an external audio source to the A/D Input Part and use it as a Part in a Performance. Details are given on Pages 63, 119. 14 You can connect an external MIDI device using a MIDI cable (available separately) and control it from this synthesizer. You can also use an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer to control the synthesizer’s internal sounds. This section introduces several different applications of MIDI. The HOST SELECT switch on the rear panel should be set to “MIDI.” Otherwise, MIDI information will not be transmitted from the synthesizer’s MIDI OUT connector.

The MIDI cable should be no greater than 15 meters in length, and there should be no more than three devices in a MIDI chain (chained in series via each unit’s MIDI THRU). To connect more units, use a MIDI Thru Box for parallel connections. You may encounter errors if the MIDI cables are too long or if too many devices are chained together via their MIDI THRU connectors. Connecting to a Personal Computer When a computer is connected, it can be used to control the synthesizer and to transfer synthesizer data to/from computer via MIDI. With the included Voice Editor program, for instance, you can edit the synthesizer’s Voices. Using another program – Card Filer – you can transfer files between the computer and the Memory Card inserted in the synthesizer’s CARD slot. There are two ways to connect your synthesizer to a computer: 1: Serial connection (the computer’s serial port to the synthesizer’s TO HOST terminal) 2: MIDI connection (the computer’s MIDI interface or external MIDI interface to the synthesizer’s MIDI IN and OUT) Different computers require different connections, as follows. 1: Serial Port to TO HOST IBM PC/AT HOST SELECT PC-2 PC-1 MIDI Mac Serial cable TO HOST PS/V IBM RS-232C (DB9) Macintosh HOST SELECT Serial cable TO HOST PS422 (Modem or Printer port) S80 16 Personal System/V IBM PC/AT and compatibles S80 PC-2 PC-1 MIDI Mac Personal System/V Apple Macintosh Basics Section 2: MIDI Interface to MIDI IN and OUT Using the computer’s MIDI interface HOST SELECT PC-2 PC-1 MIDI Mac Serial cable MIDI IN MIDI OUT Personal System/V PS/V MIDI OUT MIDI IN Personal System/V IBM Computer with MIDI interface S80 Using an external MIDI interface HOST SELECT MIDI Interface PC-2 PC-1 MIDI Mac MIDI OUT MIDI IN MIDI IN MIDI OUT Computer S80 You will need to an appropriate MIDI application (sequencer, editor, etc.) for your computer platform. 17 Connecting Various Controllers Basics Section The S80 has several controller jacks on the rear panel, including FOOT SWITCH, SUSTAIN, FOOT CONTROLLER, FOOT VOLUME and BREATH. You can connect optional controllers like a Foot Switch (the FC4 or FC5), Foot Controller (the FC7) and Breath Controller (BC3, etc.) to control tone, volume, pitch and other parameters. Details about how to these controllers are given on Page 44.

Then turn on the every device in your setup in the order of MIDI masters (senders), MIDI slaves (receivers), then audio equipment (mixers, amplifiers, speakers, etc.). This ensures the smooth flow of signals from the first device to the last (first MIDI, then audio). When powering down the setup, first turn down the volume for each audio devices, then switch off each device in the reverse order (first audio devices, then MIDI).

If a previously used Memory Card is inserted in the CARD slot, you will see a screen while files in EXT Memory are being loaded. If a new Memory Card (one never used on the instrument) is inserted in the CARD slot, you will see a screen while a basic file is being created in EXT Memory. If you have a Plug-in Board installed, you will see a screen that confirms the presence of the Plug-in Board. The final screen after the power-on sequence may change depending on the Power On Mode setting available Utility Mode (Page 135). 4Turn up the amplifier’s volume as necessary. 5Adjust the synthesizer's [VOLUME] slider to set an appropriate volume level. About Memory Cards You can save various kinds of data - Voice, Performance, Plug-in, Sequence Chain and so on - onto Memory Card. The built-in CARD slot can accept 3.3-volt Memory Cards (SmartMedia). Before using a Memory Card, read through precautions on how to handle it (Page 142). • Formatting a Memory Card You cannot use a new Memory Card to save files immediately. The card must be formatted in Card Mode (Page 147) beforehand. • Saving and Loading Data You can save various kinds of data as files on a formatted Memory Card. Each file on the card can be loaded when required. You can save and load data such as System, Voice, Performance, Plug-in, Sequence Chain or the like. Since Sequence Chain data is held temporarily in the synthesizer’s buffer memory and will be lost once you switch it off, you need to save such data onto the Memory Card first. Details about formatting a Memory Card, saving and loading data, and the recognized file types are given on Page 143. 20 Basics Section Basic Operations This section gives some basic explanations about operating the synthesizer. Selecting a Mode There are several operation Modes — Voice Play Mode, Performance Play Mode, etc. — each of which enables you to work efficiently with the synthesizer’s various functions.

The S80 hardware is made up of a number of sections, as shown in the following diagram. Controller Section Keyboard Controllers Sequencer Section Tone Generator Section Song File Playback Arpeggiator AWM2 Plug-in Board Effects Section Controller Section This section consists of the keyboard, Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels, Control Sliders, Assignable knobs and so on. The keyboard itself doesn’t generate sounds, but instead sends note, velocity and other information to the synthesizer’s tone generator section when you plays notes. The controllers also send changes. Information from the keyboard and controllers can be transmitted to other external MIDI devices through the MIDI OUT connector. Sequencer Section This section can be used to play back Standard MIDI Files held on Memory Card. The contents of Tracks 1 to 16 correspond to MIDI channels and Parts in a Performance as shown in the following illustration. The sequencer can play back songs with a different Voice assigned to each Part. Tone Generator (Performance Parts) Sequencer Track1 Piano Ch1 Piano Ch1 Track2 Bass Ch2 Bass Ch2 Track3 Strings Ch3 Strings Ch3 Track16 Percussion Ch16 Percussion Ch16 31 Basics Section An Overview of the S80 Tone Generator Section Basics Section This section plays back sounds according to information received from the keyboard and controllers. The following example illustrates the path taken by the signal from an Element in Voice Mode. Tone Generator Section OSC (Oscillator) Outputs the waveform of each Element. Each Voice consists of up to four Elements. PITCH FILTER Controls the pitch of each Element output from OSC. Changes the tonal quality of each Element output from PITCH. AMP (Amplitude) To Effects Units Controls the output level (amplitude) of each Element output from FILTER. The signals are then sent at this level to the Effects Units. About the Tone Generator The tone generator section in the S80 consists of AWM2 and Plug-in units. AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) is a synthesis system based on the use of sampled waveforms, 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. AWM2 is not just limited to general musical instruments (Normal Voices). It can also be used for setting up percussive instruments (Drum Voices). Details about Normal and Drum Voices are given on Page 37. Plug-in Boards add more features to the system. When installed, they combine perfectly with the synthesizer’s built-in tone generator section. The following types of Plug-in Board are available, and up to two boards can be installed in the synthesizer. These boards are not simply a source of more Voices; they are also tone generators in their own right and extend the system-level specifications such as maximum polyphony. You can play Plug-in Voices just like ordinary internal Voices and use them as Parts in a Performance (Page 98). This synthesizer is compatible with the Modular Synthesis Plug-in System (see next page). There are three types of Modular Synthesis Plug-in System-compatible Plug-in Boards: Single Part, Multi-Part and Effect Plug-in Board. Using these, you can build your own system based on the sounds you require. Single Part Plug-in Boards • Analog Physical Modeling Plug-in Board (PLG150-AN) Using Analog Physical Modeling (AN) synthesis, the very latest digital technology is used to accurately reproduce the sound of analog synthesizers. With this board installed, you have realtime control over the playback of vintage synthesizer sounds as well as the very latest sounds heard in today’s club-oriented music. • Piano Plug-in Board (PLG150-PF) A massive 16MB of waveform memory is dedicated to the reproduction of piano sounds using AWM2 synthesis. This board offers 136 stereo sounds, including a number of acoustic and electric pianos, and up to 64-note polyphony. You can even install two of these boards to double the polyphony to 128 notes. 32 • Virtual Acoustic Plug-in Board (PLG150-VL) With Virtual Acoustic (VA) synthesis, the sounds of real instruments are modeled (simulated) in real time, giving a degree of realism that cannot be achieved using conventional PCM-based synthesis techniques. When playing these sounds using an optional Breath Controller (BC3) or MIDI Wind Controller (WX5), you can even capture some of the physical feel of woodwind instruments. Effect Plug-in Boards • Vocal Harmony Plug-in Board (PLG100-VH) With this board installed, you can add harmonies to selected parts using four types of effects. Chorus parts for vocals can be created automatically from chords that have been prepared and stored as MIDI data. You can also use the synthesizer like a vocoder by connecting and using a microphone while playing the keyboard. Multi-Part Plug-in Board • XG Plug-in Board (PLG100-XG) This Plug-in Board is a 16-part XG sound generator. You can play back XG/GM song files using the rich variety of sounds and effects on this board. More Plug-in Boards will be available in future. About MODULAR SYNTHESIS PLUG-IN SYSTEM The Yamaha Modular Synthesis Plug-in System offers powerful expansion and upgrade capabilities for Modular Synthesis-Plug-in-compatible synthesizers, tone generators and sound cards. This enables you to easily and effectively take advantage of the latest and most sophisticated synthesizer and effects technology, allowing you to keep pace with the rapid and multi-faceted advances in modern music production. Maximum Polyphony The maximum sonic polyphony is 64 for AWM2, plus the polyphony of the Plug-in Board (if installed). The actual note polyphony will vary depending on the type of tone generator unit used, the number of Elements in the Voice, and the note polyphony of the Plug-in Board. In the case of AWM2 Voices, the polyphony figure of 64 is divided by the number of Elements in the Voice. For instance, if a Voice consists of two Elements, the maximum note polyphony for the Voice is 32. 33 Basics Section • Advanced DX/TX Plug-in Board (PLG150-DX) The sounds of the DX7 are available on this Plug-in Board. Unlike with PCM-based solutions, this does not use sampled waveforms. Instead, it uses the actual FM sound generator engine of the DXseries synthesizers to give a completely faithful reproduction. Sounds are compatible with those of the DX7, and the board can even receive DX7 data via MIDI bulk dump. Basics Section Effects Section The effects can be used to change the sound of a Voice or Performance. There are two Insertion Effect Units plus a Reverb Unit (with 12 types of reverb) and a Chorus Unit (with 23 types of chorus). Each of the Insertion Effect units offers a variety of effects, and the units themselves can be connected in parallel or in series. In Voice/Performance Mode, different Effects settings can be assigned to each Voice/Performance, though the way they are connected (series or parallel) varies slightly. As shown in the following illustration, the two Insertion Effect units can be independently switched on or off for each Element in a Voice. So basically, the Insertion Effects can be set on a per Element basis. After being passed through the Insertion Effects, the signals from all individual Elements are mixed and sent to the Reverb and Chorus Units. These Reverb and Chorus Units apply effects to the sound as a whole before it is sent to the outputs, and are therefore known as System Effects. In Performance Mode, the Insertion Effects can be set for two Parts: a Voice or A/D Input Part, plus a Plug-in Part. However, the System Effects (Reverb and Chorus) are not applied to Parts, but to the Performance as a whole.

That is a choice of 512 Normal Voices and 12 Drum Kits. The choice is extended further still if you have an optional Plug-in Board installed. Performance Play Mode This Mode is used when playing Performances. You can layer multiple Voices (Parts) to create rich sonic textures. You can also create multitimbral setups by assigning Parts to different MIDI channels. You can layer A/D Input and Plugin Parts, as well as AWM2based Voices. In this Mode, you can use the sequencer to play back Song files (Standard MIDI Files) held on Memory Card. The Songs can be played back individually or as a chain. By switching Performance, you can also change the sounds associated with each track in a Song. The MIDI settings for Voices are set in Utility Mode. Voice Edit Mode Normal Voices and Drum Voices can be created and edited in this Mode. You can save up to 128 edited Normal Voices and 2 edited Drum Kits as User Voices in internal memory. You can also store them to Memory Card as external memory. Performance Edit Mode In this Mode, you can edit and create Performances. You can save up to 128 Performances to internal memory or up to 64 to external memory (Memory Card). Performance Job Mode In this Mode, you can copy and initialize Performances, and perform other such operations (Jobs) on them. Voice Job Mode In this Mode, you can copy and initialize Voices, and perform other such operations (Jobs) on them. 35 Utility Mode (Page 134) Select this Mode when setting parameters that apply to the synthesizer system as a whole. These include MIDI settings and synthesizer setup parameters. Utility Job Mode In this Mode, you can restore the synthesizer’s factory settings. Card Mode (Page 142) Insert a Memory Card into the CARD slot and you can save files to it, load files from it, and do various other things with the data on the card. Basics Section Voices A Voice is a sound created from the many parameters set in the synthesizer. In Voice Play Mode, you can select and play any of these Voices. In Performance Play Mode, several different Voices (known as Parts in this Mode) can be layered and played simultaneously via keyboard or a sequencer. Four groups of Voices are available (Preset 1, Preset 2, Internal and External). Up to two further groups of Voices are available if optional Plug-in Boards have been installed.

Each Element itself uses a high-quality waveform. Voice Element 1~4 Element Wave form AWM2: 553 Preset waveforms Internally, there are two Voice Types: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. Normal Voices are mainly 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 Drum Voice assignments is known as a Drum Kit. If you have installed an optional Plug-in Board, there will be more Voices for you to choose from. These Voices are known as Plug-in Voices, and will vary depending on the Plug-in Board you have installed (Page 32). The Note Limit settings (Page 80) will also affect the allocation of sounds. But basically, Normal Voices (of up to four Elements) are playable across the whole keyboard range whereas with Drum Voices, any of 73 different Waves can be assigned to each Drum Key on the keyboard. Normal Voice Drum Voice Voice Element 1~4 wave 1 wave 2 wave 3 wave 4 wave 5 wave 73 A total of eight Drum Voices (DR1 to DR8) are available as presets. You can also create your own Drum Voices and save them to internal (User) memory or to external memoly (Memory Card), just as with Normal Voices. 37 Basics Section An Overview of Voices/Waves Basics Section Waves Waves are waveforms used as Elements that make up a Voice. 553 high quality preset Waves are available. As shown in the following illustration, when creating a Voice, you can select the Wave to be used as an Element and then set its level, pitch, tone and other parameters. wave 1~553 Element1 Element2 Element3 Element4 C-2 G8 Voice 38 A Performance consists of up to 19 Parts, each of which can a Normal Voice, Drum Voice, A/D Input Part or Plug-in 1/2 Part. By switching on the Layer Switch parameter for different Parts (up to four), you can play back rich layered sounds in Performance Play Mode. You can also create splits so that different Parts are assigned to different areas of the keyboard. If you assign a different MIDI channel number to each Part, each track of a sequencer can play back a different Part.

However, this can cause note response to become slower under some circumstances. 39 Basics Section Performances Basics Section Ideal for Playing Live Many features of this synthesizer make it ideal for live performances. These features are explained here. 2 Using the Controllers (Page 43) 1 Using the Arpeggiator (Page 41) A wide variety of arpeggio patterns can be created automatically by just holding down a set of notes on the keyboard. You can specify the sound and the note range within which the arpeggiator is active, then use your left hand to hold down the notes being arpeggiated while using your right hand to play a melody line. The Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel and Control Sliders can be freely assigned to control various sound parameters in real time. By connecting an optional Foot Controller or Foot Switch, you can also use your feet to control parameters, to change Program Number, and so on (Page 48). Also, you can assign parameters to Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1] and [2] on the front panel below the LCD. Rear Panel The parameters for these features can be stored per Voice/Performance. 40 2Turn Knob [A] fully anti-clockwise until Common is displayed on the bottom line.

Arpeggio Types are divided into the four following categories and applications are not just limited to drum patterns. You can also select Arpeggio Types for backing chords, basslines and so on. If the Arpeggiator switch is already enabled for the Voice/Performance, this means that the Arpeggiator will be ready for use whenever you select the Voice/Performance. The on/off state of the Arpeggiator can be stored (Pages 106, 131) for each Voice/Performance. When setting the Arpeggio Category to Ct (Control), you also need to set the Key Mode parameter (two screens ahead) to “direct.” Selecting the Arpeggio Type Sq (Sequence): Creates a general arpeggio phrase. Mainly octave up/down phrases. Ph (Phrase): Creates more musical phrases than Sq. Starting with “Techno,” there are phrases for a wide variety of musical genres, and for creating backing tracks for guitar, piano and other instruments. Dr (Drum Pattern): Creates drum pattern-type phrases. Phrase genres covered include rock and dance. This Type is ideal for use with drum and percussion sounds. Ct (Control): Creates tonal changes.

The same arpeggio pattern will be played back until you press another set of notes on the keyboard. The S80 is equipped with Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels. Either of the S80 is equipped with front panel Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1] and [2], with which you can control many different parameters. Pitch Bend Wheel This wheel’s prime function is to control pitch. Roll the wheel upward/downward to bend the pitch upward/downward. The effect can also be reversed. You can switch Arpeggiator Hold on/off by using Knob [2] to change the Hold parameter of the ARP Type screen. Pitch Up With Arpeggio Hold switched on, the Arpeggiator continues to play back after releasing the keyboard, leaving your left hand free to perform other tasks, such as adjusting the sliders. ARPíType) Type Tempo Common BigBeat2:Dr≥ 127 Switch on Pitch Down Pitch Bend Wheel Hold on Modulation Wheel Pitch Bend Range can be set for each Voice. The wheel can also be assigned other parameters (Page 74). Even if a different parameter is assigned to the wheel, Pitch Bend messages are still transmitted through the MIDI Out when it is being used. Modulation Wheel The more you roll this wheel upwards, the greater the modulation that is applied to the sound. Deeper Pitch Bend Wheel Modulation Wheel Modulation depth can also be set beforehand. Also, the wheel can be assigned different parameters, such as Volume or Pan (Page 74). 43 Basics Section 2 Using Controllers Following the example in this manual, if you select Voice Program Number 098(G02) of INT, Portamento is already set for this Voice. Use the PORTAMENTO knob and [ON/OFF] keys to change the portamento time and switch portamento on/off (Page 74). Knobs [A]/[B]/[C]/[1]/[2] Foot Controller Basics Section In Voice/Performance Play Mode, Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1] and [2] can be used as real-time controllers. Knobs [A], [B] and [C] are assigned to control the equalizer gain of, respectively, EQ Low, EQ Mid and EQ Hi. With Knobs [1] and [2], you are free to assign different parameters per Voice. An optional Foot Controller (such as the FC7), connected to the FOOT CONTROLLER jack (Page 18) on the rear panel, can be assigned a number of controller parameters. By using a foot controller for parameter control, both your hands are left free to play the keyboard (or to operate other controllers). This is very convenient if you are playing live.

With an optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch connected to the SUSTAIN jack (Page 18) on the rear panel. This is useful when playing pianotype sounds. Control Sliders In Performance Mode, if Master Keyboard Mode is enabled, you can use the four Control Sliders to control the functions assigned to each zone. Details are given on Pages 61 and 129. VOLUME You cannot assign a function other than Sustain to the SUSTAIN jack. Foot Volume Connect an optional Foot Controller (such as the FC7) to the FOOT VOLUME jack of the rear panel (Page 18). You can then use your foot to control Main Volume or Expression parameters, leaving your hands free to play the keyboard. This is very useful if you are playing live. CONTROL SLIDER The parameter assigned to the Foot Volume controller is set in the CTRL Other screen of Utility Mode (Page 136). 1 . 2 3 4 Breath Controller You can connect an optional Breath Controller (BC3) to the BREATH jack (Page 18) on the rear panel . Then use it to control a large number of the synthesizer’s parameters, particularly those controlled by a wind player’s breath: dynamics, timbre, pitch and so on. The Breath Controller is ideally suited for realistic expression with wind instrument type Voices. Breath Controller parameters can be set for each Voice. 44 Aftertouch Aftertouch lets you, for example, add vibrato to a sound by applying further pressure to a note on the keyboard while it is being held down. This allows real-time expression and control. Aftertouch can be used to control a wide variety of parameters (Page 74). Control Sets Aside from their default parameters, keyboard aftertouch, the controllers and some of the knobs on the front panel can be assigned with various parameters, as explained on Page 43. For example, you could assign Resonance to the Modulation Wheel and set aftertouch to apply vibrato. You are free to assign parameters to suit the kind of sound being played. For example, set the Src (Source) parameter of Control Set 1 to MW (Modulation Wheel) and the Dest (Destination) parameter to ELFO-PM (Element LFO Pitch Modulation Depth). Then set the Src parameter of Control Set 2 also to MW, but set the Dest parameter to ELM PAN (Element Pan). You will also need to specify the Element to be controlled and also the depth (amount) of control. In this example, when you move the Modulation Wheel upward, the amount of Pitch Modulation increases accordingly, the Element is panned from left to right. So in other words, you can assign several Dest parameters to each Src controller. SET 1 SET 2 Src Sw Src Sw These controller assignments are known as Control MW MW Sets. As the following illustration shows, you can (Modulation Wheel) (Modulation Wheel) Moving the Modulation assign up to six different Control Sets per Voice. Wheel changes the amount Within each Control Set, the controller is known as of Pitch Modulation plus the the Source (Src) and the parameter controlled by pan position. Dest Param Dest Param the Source is known as the Destination (Dest).

SET 3 Src Src MW (Modulation Wheel) FC (Foot Controller) Dest Dest ELFO-PM ELFO-PM You can control the pitch modulation effect using either of Modulation Wheel (MW) and Foot Controller (FC). By assigning all six Control Sets, you will have a stunning degree of real-time control over the synthesizer’s sounds. 45 Basics Section By creating Control Sets, you can change sounds in a variety of ways. Basics Section Control Sets and External MIDI Control Assigning Parameters to Knobs [A], [B] and [C] In a Control Set, the controllers are assigned to the internal parameters of the synthesizer. However, some controllers were originally designed for a particular purpose, and send pre-defined MIDI Control Change messages when used, regardless of their Control Set allocations within the synthesizer. For example, the Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel and keyboard aftertouch were originally designed to control pitch bend, modulation and aftertouch. Therefore, when you use these controllers, pitch bend, modulation and aftertouch information is always sent to the MIDI Out. The following procedure explains how you can assign a desired parameter to Knob [A], [B] or [C]. You can assign any parameters that are common throughout the system (for all Play Modes) and any MIDI Control Change Numbers. In the example, Knob [A] will be set up to control Reverb Return. 1 Press the [UTILITY] key to enter Utility Mode. MODE Let’s say the Pan parameter is assigned to the Pitch Bend Wheel in a Control Set. Now, when you move the Pitch Bend Wheel, the internal tone generator of the synthesizer will pan the sound but at the same time, the original pre-defined Pitch Bend messages will still be sent to the MIDI Out.

CTRL KnobA) Sys As Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel and keyboard aftertouch is pre-defined with specific MIDI controls, you cannot assign MIDI Control Changes. SHIFT You can also set up a controller such that it sends one kind of Control message to the synthesizer’s internal tone generator yet another kind to the MIDI Out. For example, in a Control Set you could assign resonance to Assignable Knob [1]. Then, in the VOICE CTRL Assign2 screen of Utility Mode, you could assign Control Change Number 1 (Modulation) to the same knob. Now, when you turn the knob, resonance will be applied to the sound of the internal tone generator but at the same time, modulation information will be sent to the external MIDI device connected to the MIDI Out. PAGE A B CC# 01[ModWheel] C Dest REV-Rtn 1 2 DATA PART/ELEMENT Now you can use Knob [A] for on-the-fly control of the Reverb Return level in Voice/Performance Play Mode. Note that you can also send (by turning Knob [A]) or receive Control Change messages with the Controller Number set in the CC# parameter through MIDI In and Out. For assignable parameters, refer to “System Controller Destination Parameters” in the separate Data List. This aspect of the synthesizer makes it ideal for use as a master controller for controlling external MIDI devices. Add an optional Foot Controller or Breath Controller for even more control. 46 The following procedure explains how you can assign a desired parameter to Knob [1] or [2]. You can assign controllers to each Voice (or Part in a Performance). Control Settings can be assigned as a Control Set, and a each Controller can be used to control multiple parameters (although this varies according to the type of Voice). Here we introduce an example of how to set up Control Set 1 for Internal Voice 001 (A01) by assigning PCHCrs (Pitch: Coarse) to Knob [1].

You can assign different settings for each Element. With these parameters, you can layer Elements and control their output. For example, you could set one Element to sound in an upper range of the keyboard, and another Element to sound in a lower range. Thus, even within the same Voice, you can have two different sounds for different areas of the keyboard or you can make the two Element ranges overlap so that their sounds are layered over a set range. Furthermore, you can set each Element to respond to different velocity ranges so that one Element sounds for lower note velocities, whereas another Element sounds for higher note velocities. 52 Note Limit C-2 - G 8 Vel Limit 1 - 127 6 FLT (Filter) and FEG (Filter EG) Screens You can use the filter to change the tonal characteristics of each Element, by adjusting overtones (harmonic tones) included in the waveform from the Element. There are several types of filters, but its basic idea is similar. As Element 3 Velocity Element 2 illustrated below, the filter is used to pass overtones Element 1 at specific frequencies and cut off (does not pass) Element 4 others, to alter the harmonic factor of an original waveform. You can determine such frequencies by specifying a pointing or center frequency (cutoff frequency). With some filters, you can adjust signal C-2 G8 levels at several frequency bands. You can also set the Filter Envelope Generator (FEG) for time variance of how the filter works, which results in a 5 PCH (Pitch) and PEG (Pitch EG) dynamic change in tonal characteristics. Here we Screens introduce how FEG works. Set the basic pitch parameters for each Element. Level Cutoff range Range passed Cutoff range You can detune Elements, apply Pitch Scaling and so on. Also, by setting the PEG (Pitch Envelope Generator), you can control how the pitch changes over time. • PEG (Pitch Envelope Generator) Using the PEG, you can control the transition in pitch from the moment a note is pressed on the keyboard to the point at which it is released. As illustrated below, the Pitch Envelope consists of five Time (transition speed) parameters and five Level (pitch) parameters. This is useful for creating automatic changes in pitch. Furthermore, different PEG parameters can be set for each Element.

As illustrated below, the Filter Envelope consists of five Time (transition speed) parameters and five Level parameters (for the amount of filtering). When you press a note on the keyboard, the cutoff frequency will change according to these envelope settings. This is useful for creating automatic wah effects, for example.

The signal of each Element is sent at the specified volume to the next Effect Unit. Also, by setting the AEG (Amplitude Envelope Generator), you can control how the volume changes over time. As its name suggests, the LFO creates waveforms of a low frequency. These waveforms can be used to vary the pitch, filter or amplitude of each Element to create effects such as vibrato, wah and tremolo, although the actual available LFO parameters will vary according to the type of Element.

You should always back up important data to Memory Card, computer or some other storage medium beforehand. Details about storing Voices are given on Page 106. 54 Effects in Voice Mode In the final stages of programming, you can set the effects parameters to further change the sound’s character. To generalize, System Effects apply to the overall sound, whether it is a Voice, a Performance, a Song, etc. Insertion Effects, on the other hand, can be applied individually to each Voice. This synthesizer has two System Effect Units (Reverb and Chorus) plus two Insertion Effect Units. When using a Plug-in Board (PLG1 or PLG2) installed on the instrument, you can also use a separate Insertion Effect Unit that is dedicated for each Plug-in Part. In Voice Mode, you can set up the effect type and its value for each Effect Unit (Reverb, Chorus and Insertion Effects) and store them with each Voice. Furthermore, you can determine that each Element connects or bypasses the Insertion Effect Units. When you connect an Element to Insertion Effects, you can also specify the connecting way of two Units (series or parallel, as illustrated below). The combined signal from all Voice Elements — after application of the Insertion Effects — is sent to the Reverb and Chorus System Effect Units. Different effects settings can be set per Voice (in Voice Mode) and per Performance (in Performance Mode), though the connection between the Effect Units will vary in each case. When you want to use Plug-in Voices from a Plugin Board attached, you can also set up a dedicated Insertion Effect Unit for each Plug-in Voice. In this case, a Plug-in Voice signals processed with the Insertion Effect Unit will be then routed to Reverb and Chorus Units. Reverb Unit Connection EP1:EP2 The Reverb Unit includes a selection of 12 different reverb-type effects, including realistic simulations of the natural reverberation found in various halls and rooms.

Element 1 Element 2 Element 3 Element 4 In Performance Play Mode, recall the Performance you have just saved. Simply pressing the [MASTER KEYBOARD] key activates or deactivates the Layer configuration you made above. Besides the Layer/Zone configuration in Master Keyboard Modes, you can use the Layer Switch (Layer) for each Part to make a Layer configuration that consists of up to four Parts (Page 123). Sometimes, depending on the settings for each Part of the source Performance, the desired effect may not be achieved when editing. In this case, check the following: • Whether the Note Limit parameters at each Part’s LYR Limit screen (Page 123) are set to a valid range • That the Output parameter at each Part’s LYR Out screen (Page 123) has been set to “L&R” If you’ve checked the above but still can’t resolve the problem, initialize the Performance (Page 130) and apply the settings again. While using in Master Keyboard Mode, you can control the internal tone generator (or an external MIDI device) according to “Note Limit” in the MKB Note screen. If you limit a Zone’s key range to two octaves, it is as if you connect an external two-octaves keyboard controller to play with the tone generator. Meanwhile, the key range (playable range) of an entire Voice is determined by “Note Limit” in the LYR Limit screen (page 123) for a Part assigned with that Voice. Such a playable range of each Element of a Voice is determined by “Note Limit” in the OSC Limit screen (page 80) available in Voice Edit Mode. About the Control Sliders While Master Keyboard Mode is turned on, the Control Sliders [1] to [4] on the front panel are respectively linked to Zones 1 to 4. When these Sliders, for instance, are set to control volumes for their corresponding Zones, you can use them like a mixer’s channel faders to balance volumes of Zones. These Sliders can separately work so that you can assign a different control function to each of them (volume for Zone 1, pan for Zone 2, etc.).

Mainly octave up/down phrases. Ph (Phrase): Creates more musical phrases than Sq. Starting with “Techno,” there are phrases for a wide variety of musical genres, and for creating backing tracks for guitar, piano and other instruments. Dr (Drum Pattern): Creates drum pattern-type phrases. Phrase genres covered include rock and dance. This Type is ideal for use with drum and percussion sounds. Ct (Control): Creates tonal changes. No note information is created. The Key Mode parameter in Arpeggio Mode must be set to “direct.” Sustain Level Decay Time Switch on ■ Type Set the Arpeggio Type. Level Attack Time Tempo 120 Release Time Key off ■ Tempo Set the Arpeggio Tempo. ■ Attack Set the transition time from the moment a key on the keyboard is pressed to the point at which the level of the Voice reaches its peak. ❏Settings: 25 ~ 300 [MIDI] is displayed here and the parameter cannot be altered if MIDI sync is enabled (Page 138). ❏ Settings: -64 ~ 0~ +63 ■ Decay Set the transition time from the point at which the level of the Voice reaches its peak to the point at which it levels off. ❏ Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63 72 ■ Switch Switch the Arpeggiator on or off. If the Arpeggio Category is set to Ct, you will not hear any sounds unless you select “direct” here. ■ Hold Switch the Arpeggiator Hold on or off. ■ Vel Mode (Velocity Mode) Set the playback velocity of the Arpeggio. There are 2 modes. ❏ Settings: syncoff (see below), off, on syncoff The first time you press a key, the first note of the arpeggiator pattern is played. From the second and subsequent key presses, the arpeggiator note that is played back will depend on the arpeggiator tempo and the timing of the arpeggio pattern. For example, in the case of a 1-bar arpeggio pattern, if the second key press falls on the third beat of the bar, the arpeggio pattern plays back from the third beat onward. In other words, the first key press is used to start the arpeggio pattern and thereafter you can use the key to “mute” or “un-mute” the pattern by, respectively, holding it down or releasing it. This is particularly useful when the arpeggiator is being used to generate drum patterns. ❏ Settings: original: Preset velocities are used in the Arpeggio sequence. thru: Velocities of the notes you play are used in the Arpeggio sequence. ARP PlayEF (Arpeggio Play Effects) You can set Play Effects for the Arpeggio. Play Effects can be used to temporarily adjust the timing and velocity of MIDI notes, thus affecting the groove of the Arpeggio pattern. Details about this are given on Page 43. ARP Limit (Arpeggio Note Limit) ARPíPlayEF) C 1234 ARPíLimit) C 1234 Vel 200% Gate 200% Note Limit C-2 - G 8 ■ Unit Adjust the Arpeggio playback time. For example, if you set a value of 200%, the playback time will be doubled and the tempo halved. Alternatively, if you set a value of 50%, the playback time will be halved and the tempo doubled. Normal playback time is 100%. ■ Note Limit Set the lowest and highest notes in the Arpeggiator’s note range. ❏ Settings: C-2 ~ G8 (lowest and highest set separately) If you specify the highest note first and the lowest note second, for example “C5 to C4,” then the note range covered will be “C-2 to C4” and “C5 to G8.” ❏ Settings: 50%, 66%, 75%, 100%, 133%, 150%, 200% ■ Vel (Velocity) Set the Velocity offset value (the strength at which the keyboard is played). This determines how the original Velocities are increased or decreased during Arpeggio playback. A setting of 100% means the original values are used. Settings below 100% will reduce the velocity of the Arpeggio notes, whereas settings above 100% will increase the velocities. You can set the lowest and highest notes in the range by pressing notes on the keyboard while holding down the [SHIFT] key. ARP Mode (Arpeggio Mode) These parameters control the way in which notes are played back by the Arpeggiator. ARPíMode) C 1234 Unit 50% Key Mode sort ❏ Settings: 0% ~ 200% Vel Mode thru If the Velocity value falls below 1, it will be limited to 1. If it exceeds 127, it will be limited to 127. ■ Key Mode Set how the Arpeggio is played back when keys on the keyboard are pressed. There are 3 modes. ■ Gate (Gate Time) Set the Gate Time Rate value (the length of a note). This determines how the original Gate Times are increased or decreased during Arpeggio playback. A setting of 100% means the original values are used. Settings below 100% will shorten the gate times of the Arpeggio notes, whereas settings above 100% will lengthen them. ❏ Settings: sort: Plays back notes in ascending order from the lowest key pressed to the highest. thru: Plays back notes in the order in which the keys are pressed. direct: Plays back the notes exactly as you play them. If changes to Voice parameters (such as Pan or Cutoff frequency) are included in the Arpeggio sequence data, they will be applied and reproduced whenever the Arpeggio plays back. ❏ Settings: 0% ~ 200% If the Gate Time value falls below 1, it will be limited to 1. 73 Voice Mode With the “sort” and “thru” settings, the order in which notes are played back will depend on the Arpeggio sequence data. ❏Settings: off, on Common Controller CTL Bend (Pitch Bend) There are eight Control Settings. You can set the Controller parameters for Portamento, the Pitch Bend Wheel, and for each Element in a Voice. You can set the amount by which the Pitch Bend Wheel changes the pitch of the Voice.

CTL Set1 (Control Set 1) to CTL Set6 (Control Set 6) ❏ Settings: off, on The controllers and knobs on the front panel, the keyboard, and so on can be assigned a variety of uses. For example, keyboard aftertouch can be used to control vibrato and the Modulation Wheel could be used to control Resonance. They can even be used to control parameters within individual Elements. These control assignments are called “Control Sets.” You can assign up to six different Control Sets per Voice. Thus there are six screens, each for a separate controller: CTL Set1 to CTL Set6. ■ Time Set the pitch transition time. Higher values mean longer transition times. ❏ Settings: 0 ~ 127 ■ Mode Set the Portamento mode.

Filters Resonance To generalize, there are basically four types of filter: an LPF (Low Pass Filter), an HPF (High Pass Filter), a BPF (Band Pass Filter) and a BEF (Band Elimination Filter). Each available filter has a different frequency response. There are also combinations of LPF and HPF. • LPF (Low Pass Filter): This only passes signals below the Cutoff frequency. You can then use the Reso (Resonance) parameter to add further character to the sound. Six types of LPF are available. LPF6 (Low Pass Filter 6dB/oct) A 1-pole (-6db/oct) dynamic LPF with no Resonance, designed to be used in combination with an HPF (High Pass Filter). Level -6db/oct -12db/oct -18db/oct -24db/oct Cutoff Frequency 83 • HPF (High Pass Filter) This only passes signals above the Cutoff frequency. You can then use the Reso (Resonance) parameter to add further character to the sound. Two types of HPF are available. BPF6 (Band Pass Filter 6dB/oct) The combination of a -6dB/oct HPF and LPF.

Cutoff range ■ Gain Set the Gain (the amount of boost applied to the signal sent to the Filter Unit). Frequency ❏ Settings: 0 ~ 255 84 ■ EGDepth Set the sensitivity of the Filter to note velocity. A positive setting will produce large filter changes for notes played harder, and a setting of zero will produce no filter changes at all. With a negative setting, the EG envelope will be inverted. ❏ Settings: 0 ~ 255 ■ Reso (Resonance)/Band/Width This parameter’s function varies according to the selected Filter Type. If an LPF or HPF has been selected, this parameter is used to set the Resonance. For the BPF (excluding the BPFW) and the BEF, it is used to select the Band. For the BPFW, it is used to adjust the Width of the band. ❏ Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63 ■ VelCutoff (Velocity Cutoff) Set the sensitivity of the Cutoff frequency to note velocity. A positive setting will raise the Cutoff frequency for notes played harder, and lower it for notes played more softly. A negative setting will have the opposite effect. With the LPF and HPF, the Reso parameter is used to set the amount of Resonance (harmonic emphasis) applied to the signal at the Cutoff frequency. This can be used in combination with the Cutoff frequency parameter to add further character to the sound. ❏ Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63 ■ VelReso (Velocity Resonance) Set the sensitivity of the selected Resonance parameter to note velocity. A positive setting will produce large Resonance changes for notes played harder, and smaller changes for notes played more softly. A negative setting will have the opposite effect. With the BPF, the Band parameter is used to set the range (band) of signal frequencies passed by the filter. With the BEF, it is used to set the band of signal frequencies attenuated by the filter. In both cases, the Cutoff frequency is the center frequency of the band. ❏ Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63 With the BPFW, the Width parameter is used to adjust the width of the band of signal frequencies passed by the filter.

This can be used in combination with the Cutoff frequency of the Low Pass Filter to add further character to the sound. ■ Coarse Adjust the pitch of each Drum Key Wave (or Normal Voice) in semitones. ❏ Settings: -48 ~ +48 For a Normal Voice, this parameter adjusts the position of its note (not its pitch) relative to note C3. For example, let’s assume the original Voice consists of a two-Element piano-like sound up to note C3 and a twoElement string-like sound from note C#3 upwards. Adjusting this Coarse setting by +1 would not change the pitch of the piano-like sound to C#3. Instead, note C#3 of the original Voice (i.e., the string-like sound) would be used. ❏ Settings: 0 ~ 31 Details about Resonance are given on Page 85. ■ HPF (High Pass Filter) Set the Cutoff frequency of the High Pass Filter. Only frequencies above this point are passed. ❏ Settings: 0 ~ 255 ■ Fine Fine-tune the pitch of each Drum Key Wave (or Normal Voice). Details about the High Pass Filter are given on Page 84. ❏ Settings: -64 ~ +63 Drum Key Amplitude You can set amplitude (output level) parameters for each Drum Key. The following two parameters are available. ■ VelSens (Velocity Sensitivity) Set the velocity sensitivity of the pitch. Positive settings will cause the pitch to rise the harder you play the keyboard and negative settings will cause it to fall. This parameter is only available if the Type parameter in the OSC Wave screen is set to “wave.” AMP AEG (Amplitude Envelope Generator) AMP VelSens (Amplitude Velocity Sensitivity) ❏ Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63 This parameter is only available if the Type parameter in the OSC Wave screen is set to “wave.” 96 AMP AEG (Amplitude Envelope Generator) The Amplitude Envelope Generator has three Time parameters and one Level parameter. These govern the transitions between output levels for the duration of a note. The Attack Time is the time taken for the sound to reach its peak output level from the moment a note is played on the keyboard. The Decay 1/2 Time and the Decay 1 Level parameters are used to set the behavior of the remainder (between the sound’s peak output level and the point at which it fades to zero). Furthermore, you can set these parameters to be sensitive to note velocity. The Amplitude Envelope Generator controls the change in amplitude from the moment a note in pressed on the keyboard to the moment it is released. By setting the Attack Time, Decay 1 Time and the Decay 1/2 Level, you can determine how fast the sound reaches its peak amplitude and how it fades out. Parameters can be set for each Drum Key. This parameter is only available if the Type parameter in the OSC Wave screen is set to “wave.” The Attack Level is fixed at its maximum value.

Use the [PAGE] knob to switch to the screen for the desired parameter, then use Knob [C] and Knob [2] to enter the settings. Plug-in Element EQ (Equalizer) You can set the equalizer settings for the Wave. This is a shelving equalizer with two bands; one for high frequencies and another for low frequencies. The parameters and number of screens will vary depending on the Plug-in Board. For details about each parameter and its functions, refer to the Owner’s Manual or the on-line help that came with your Plug-in Board. 103 Voice Mode PCHíPEG)InitLvl Elem +63 EQ Param (EQ Parameter) If a Board Voice in the Custom Bank has been edited in Voice Edit Mode, you can store it as a Plug-in Voice in Memory Bank A to D of PLG1 or PLG2. Up to 64 can be stored in each Bank. Editing Plug-in Board Voices Plug-in Voices are based on Board Voices. However, the Board Voices themselves can be edited via computer, using the included editor software. Different editors are available for different Plug-in Boards. Voice Mode However, only the Voice Edit parameters can be stored. The edited Board Voice parameters cannot be stored. Therefore, you will lose all Board Voice edits when you switch your synthesizer off. When using the editor while the synthesizer is in Voice Mode, set the “Part No.” in the editor to “1.” Also, make sure the synthesizer’s Basic Receive channel is the same as that set in the editor’s MIDI channel. To avoid this situation, you should save your Board Voice edits to Memory Card and then load the data as a Plug-in Voice. Your edits made to a Board Voice will be retained in the Custom Bank until you turn off the instrument. Note that the Custom Bank is a temporary memory so that edits in the Bank will be erased when you turn off the instrument. Therefore, it may be necessary to save Board Voice data using a computer. After loading Board Voice data, if you select Plug-in Voice Memories (PLG1/PLG2) A to D, the stored sound (the edited Plug-in Voice based on the Board Voice) is loaded. The “all” setting is not available when saving Board Voice data; it is saved as a “plugin” file type. If the file name is set such that the file loads automatically (Page 143), the Board Voice data can also be loaded up when the synthesizer is switched on. S80 Plug-in Board Custom Bank Plug-in Memory (PLG 1/2) Bulk Dump/ Edit Board Voice PS/V IBM It may take a while to save or load the Board Voice data using Memory Card. Plug-in Voice Details about saving/loading data to/from Memory Card are given on Page 144. Save Computer (Editor) The editor for Plug-in Board is a plug-in program for XGworks(lite). You will need to be running Windows and XGworks(lite) in order to use it. XGworks lite is included on the CD-ROM included with this synthesizer. Details about how to use the editor are given in the on-line help. When bulk-dumping Board Voice data, the edited Board Voices is received in the Custom Bank according to the Bank Select Message (MSB/LSB) unique to each Plug-in Board. Therefore, to play back these Board Voices, you need to select the appropriate Banks in the synthesizer. 1 In Voice Play Mode, select any Voice in a Plug-in Memory (PLG1 or PLG2). 2 The Board Voice you have edited can now be played back if a Custom Bank has been selected at this screen. For details about Custom Banks, Bank Select Numbers (MSB/LSB) and Board Voices, refer to the Owner’s Manual or the on-line help that came with your Plug-in Board. Once you have transmitted the edited Board Voice data to the synthesizer and saved it to Memory Card as a “plugin” file type, you can load the file without having to connect the computer. 104 Voice Job Mode You can reset (initialize) all parameters of a Voice to their default settings. You can also selectively initialize certain parameters, such as Common settings, settings for each Element/Drum Key, and so on. Note that this does not return the Voice to its original state prior to editing. Instead, it is useful when building a completely new Voice from scratch. You can perform various operations (Jobs) in Voice Job Mode. For example, you can “Initialize” Voices (including those currently being edited) or “Recall” previous edits. When you enter Voice Job Mode, you will first see the Initialize screen. The following four screens are available for each Voice Job. Before entering Voice Job Mode and using the Initialize or Recall function, you must select the Voice you wish to operate on (Page 65). VCE Initialize) Job Current Voice 1st screen: VCE Initialize 2nd screen: VCE Edit Recall 3rd screen: VCE Copy 4th screen: VCE Bulk Dump ■ Select type of parameter to Initialize Use Knob [C], the [DATA] knob or the [DEC/NO] and [INC/YES] keys to select the parameter to be initialized.

Using the included Card Filer software, you can use a computer to manage data on Memory Card. You can also use it to exchange data between the computer and Memory Card. ■ Formatting Memory Cards Before using a Memory Card with your instrument it must first be formatted. Once it is formatted all data on it will be erased. Be sure to check if the data is unnecessary for you or not, beforehand. The Memory Cards formatted with this instrument may become unusable with other instruments. ■ About the Memory Cards • To handle Memory Cards with care: Handling the Memory Card(SmartMedia™*) Be sure to handle Memory Cards with care. Follow the important precautions below. There are times when static electricity affects Memory Cards. Before you handle Memory Cards, to reduce the possibility of static electricity, touch the metal parts such as a door knob and aluminum sash. Be sure to remove the Memory Card from the Memory Card slot when it is not in use for a long time. Do not expose the Memory Card to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids. Do not place heavy objects on a Memory Card or bend or apply pressure to the Memory Card in any way. Do not touch the metal part (gold) of the Memory Card or put any metallic plate onto the metal part. Do not expose the Memory Card to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the Memory Card, rendering it unreadable. Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a Memory Card. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location. * SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation. ■ Compatible Memory Card Type 3.3V(3V) Memory Cards can be used. 5V type Memory Cards are not compatible with this instrument. ■ Memory Capacity There are five types of Memory Cards: 2MB/4MB/8MB/16MB/32MB. A Memory Card with the memory capacity exceeding 32MB can also be used if it conforms to the standards of SSFDC (Solid State Memory Card Card: another name of SmartMedia) Forum. ■ Inserting/Removing Memory Cards • To insert a Memory Card: Hold the Memory Card so that the connector section (gold) of the Memory Card is facing downward and forward, towards the Memory Card slot. Carefully insert the Memory Card into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it is fitted in place. • To protect your data (Write-protect): - Don’t insert the Memory Card in wrong direction. Card Mode To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, stick the write-protect seal (provided in the Memory Card package) onto the designated area (within a circle) of the Memory Card. Conversely speaking, to save data on the Memory Card, make sure to remove the write-protect seal from the Card. Do not reuse the seal that is peeled off. - Don’t insert anything other than a Memory Card in the slot. • To remove a Memory Card: Make sure to turn the instrument off and pull the Memory Card out of the slot. ■ Data Backup Always the instrument must be turned off before removing the Memory Card. For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate Memory Cards. This gives you a backup if one Memory Card is lost or damaged. However, if the Memory Card's memory is full and you want to exchange it with a new one to save your currently edited data, follow the following procedure: Before removing the Memory Card, be sure to confirm that the Memory Card is not in use, or it is not being accessed by the instrument. Then pull the Memory Card out slowly by hand. If the Memory Card is being accessed*, a message indicating that it is in use appears on the instrument's display. * ■ Burglarproof Lock This instrument is equipped with a burglarproof lock for the Memory Card. If necessity arises, mount the burglarproof lock onto the instrument. To mount the burglarproof lock: It includes saving, loading, formatting, deleting and making directory. Also, be aware that the instrument will automatically access the Memory Card to check the media type when it is inserted while the instrument is turned on. 1 Remove the metallic part using a Phillips screwdriver. 2 Turn the metallic part upside down and then mount it again. Never attempt to remove the Memory Card or turn the power off during accessing. Doing so can damage the data on the instrument/Memory Card and possibly the Memory Card itself. 142 ■ SMF (Standard MIDI Files) Format 0 Standard MIDI Files (SMFs) can be played back in Song Mode. However, they cannot be saved. You will see the 1st screen (Status) when you enter Card Mode. The following seven screens are available, each for a different operation. ❏ Extension: “.MID” 1st screen: Status 2nd screen: Save 3rd screen: Load 4th screen: Rename 5th screen: Delete 6th screen: MkDir (Make Directory) 7th screen: Format The SMF is a standardized sequence file format used by musical instrument manufacturers, computer software companies and other parties. An SMF can easily be exchanged between SMF-compatible sequencers, regardless of the manufacturer. The following two types of SMF exist, though this synthesizer will only play back Format 0 SMFs. Details about how to enter Card Mode are given on Page 22. • Format 0: Data for multiple MIDI channels is contained within a single track. File Types • Format 1: Data for multiple MIDI channels is contained within multiple tracks. If the SMF you wish to play back is in Format 1, use the included Card Filer software to convert to Format 0 via computer. Details of how to convert SMFs are given in the Card Filer documentation (in PDF format). Details about installing the Card Filer software are given in the separate Installation Guide. You can handle the following five types of files to your synthesizer. ■ all (All Data) All data in the synthesizer and in External Memory data are treated as a single file, and can be saved/loaded as such. Plug-in Board data cannot be saved. Automatically Loading Files System, Performance and Plug-in voice data can only be saved in this format. The synthesizer can automatically load certain files (All/Plug-in data) when you switch it on. Name the file to be loaded automatically as follows, then save it to the highest directory of the Memory Card. Insert the card into the CARD slot before switching the synthesizer on. ■ all-voice (All Voice Data) All Voice data in the synthesizer (128 Normal Voices + 2 Drum Voices) and in External Memory (128 Normal Voices + 2 Drum Voices) are treated as a single file, and can be saved/loaded as such. Plug-in Voice data is not included. Data will be loaded automatically and any existing data in memory will be overwritten. Therefore, you should save important data to Memory Card (or other media) beforehand. ❏ Extension: “.S2V” ■ plugin All Plug-in Board data is treated as a single file, and can be saved/loaded as such. Data for Plug-in Voice settings are not included. To prevent the automatic loading of files, hold down the [EXIT] key when powering up the synthesizer. Release the key when the “Now checking plug-in board.” message is displayed. ❏ Extension: “.S2B” ■ All (all data): Name the file “AUTOLOAD.S2A” to automatically load all data. ■ chain (Sequence Chain) Chain data for Standard MIDI Files (SMFs) are treated as a single file, and can be saved/loaded as such. This data is used for playing back multiple songs in succession. ■ Plugin (Plug-in data): Name the file “AUTOLD1.S2B” to automatically load Plug-in 1 Board data, or “AUTOLD2.S2B” for Plug-in 2 Board data. ❏ Extension: “.S2C” 143 Card Mode ❏ Extension: “.S2A” Card Mode Operations Status 1Insert the Memory Card into the CARD slot.

The following types of Plug-in boards can be used with your instrument. ● ● ● ● ● ● PLG150-AN PLG150-PF PLG100-XG PLG150-VL PLG150-DX PLG100-VH How to Install the Optional Plug-in Board 1 Turn the keyboard power off, and disconnect the power cord. Also, if the keyboard is connected with other external device(s), disconnect the device(s). n See page 32 for detailed explanations for each board. Available slot (PLG1, PLG2) differs depending on the type of the Plug-in boards. Please take it into consideration before installation. PLG1/PLG2 Single-part Plug-in Boards (PLG150-AN, PLG150-PF, PLG150-VL, PLG150-DX) PLG1 only Effect Plug-in Board (PLG100-VH) PLG2 only Multi-part Plug-in Board (PLG100-XG) n Although the PLG100-VL and PLG100-DX can also be installed, some of the functions are not available. Precautions When Installing the Optional Boards 2 Move to a position facing the rear panel of the keyboard, and remove the screws from the Plug-in board cover at the bottom center side with a coin or a Phillips screwdriver (three SILVER screws only). Do not remove the other screws. n Keep the removed screws in a safe place. They will be used when attaching the Plug-in board cover to the keyboard again. 3 Remove the Plug-in board cover by pulling it to your side. The plate incorporated with the Plug-in board cover will appear. The plate can accommodate two Plug-in boards, on its top and bottom: PLG1 (top) and PLG2 (bottom). Remember the following precautions and install the Plug-in boards properly by following the steps as written. Appendix • Handle the Plug-in boards with care. Dropping or subjecting the Plug-in board to any kind of shock may cause damage or result in a malfunction. • Be careful of static electricity. There are times when static electricity affects the IC chips on the Plug-in board. Before you lift the optional Plug-in board, to reduce the possibility of static electricity, touch the metal parts other than the painted area or a ground wire on the devices that are grounded. • Do not touch the exposed metal parts in the circuit board. Touching these parts may result in a faulty contact. • When moving a cable, be careful not to let it catch on the circuit Plug-in board. Forcing the cable in anyway may cut the cable, cause damage, or result in a malfunction. • Before starting installation, be sure that you have a coin or a Phillips screwdriver at hand. • Be careful not to misplace any of the screws since all of them are used. • Do not use any screws other than what are installed on the instrument. • When inserting Plug-in boards and connecting cables, make sure that you check that they are inserted and connected properly. Improperly inserted Plug-in boards and cables may cause faulty contacts and an electrical short circuit which may cause damage or result in a malfunction. • After mounting the Plug-in board be sure to tighten the screws as directed so it is completely stable and does not move in any way. 148 Those two can be identified by the color of the connector cable. PLG1: One of the cables is ORANGE and the others are blue. PLG2: One of the cables is YELLOW and the others are blue. Available slot (PLG1, PLG2) differs depending on the type of the Plug-in boards. For details, refer to the table above in the left column. Top (PLG1) Bottom (PLG2) When installing the optional Plug-in board (from when you remove the cover to when the cover is replaced securely) all operations must be done with the AC power cord disconnected. 6-3 Carefully plug the cable connector into the Plug-in board connector until the two notches on the cable connector lock into the sockets on the board. 4 Remove the tape which is used to fasten the cable to the plate. tape 5 Take out the Plug-in board from the anti-static bag. When installing the board, the side with a connector and ICs must be on top. 6 Mount the Plug-in board onto the plate as detailed in the following steps. 6-1 Insert one side of the Plug-in board (the side opposite to the connector) into the hooks 1 as shown in the illustration.

The Quick Access function doesn’t work. • When a program change message is received from a connected MIDI device (such as a computer or MIDI keyboard), the Quick Access function is automatically disabled. When using the Quick Access function, set Program Change (PgmChng) to “off” in the MIDI Receive Switch (MIDI Sw) parameter in the Utility mode (Page 138). Cannot receive bulk data. • When using the S80 Voice Editor, have you set a sufficient Dump Interval? The Dump Interval in the Voice Editor Setup dialog must be set to 10ms or greater. Appendix Macintosh users: Card Filer for Macintosh does not work correctly. • Are you using MIDI Time Piece? Card Filer is not compatible with MIDI Time Piece. You need to disable the use of MIDI Time Piece on the Macintosh. 154 Specifications KEYBOARD Number of Keys 88 Touch Initial touch, After touch AWM2, Modular Synthesis Plug-in System TONE GENERATION SYSTEM Tone Generators 64 Polyphony VOICE Number of Voice Normal voices (256 Presets, 128 Internals [Users], 128 Externals [Memory Cards]), Drum voices (8 presets, 2 Internals [Users], 2 Externals [Memory Cards]), Plug-in voices (64 x 2 Plug-in Boards [If installed]) 24 MByte Wave ROM PERFORMANCE EFFECT Multi-Timbres 19 (16 Voice Parts, A/D Input Part, Plug-in 1/2 Parts) Number of Performance 128 Internals, 64 Externals Master Keyboard Mode 4 Zones 12 Reverb 23 Chorus Insertion 24 (Insertion 1), 92 (Insertion 2), 24 (Insertion for Plug-in Voices) 4 Master EQ SEQUENCE PLAY Format SMF Format 0 (Direct Play only), Sequence Chain (Load/Save) 100 Steps (100 Songs) Number of Sequence Chains ARPEGGIATOR Number of Arpeggios Card File Type Functions CONTROLS 128 All Data, All Voice, Plug-in, Sequence Chain, SMF Save, Load, Rename, Delete, Make Directory, Format Volume Slider, 4 Control Sliders, Pitch, Modulation, Shift, Page, Knob A/B/C/1/2, Data, Effect Bypass, Master Keyboard, Exit, Enter, Dec/No, Inc/Yes, 7 Mode Keys, Sequence Play, Sequence PLAY/STOP, 6 Memory Keys, Quick Access, 8 Bank Keys, 16 Program/Part Keys, Power, Card Slot, Gain, Host Select CONNECTORS & TERMINALS MIDI In, Out, Thru, To Host, Breath, Footswitch, Sustain, Foot Controller, Foot Volume, Individual Output 1, 2, Output L/Mono R, Phones, A/D Input, AC Inlet, 2 Connectors for Plug-in Boards INCLUDED ACCESSORIES Owner s Manual, Data List, CD-ROM, AC Power Cord OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES PLG150 Plug-in Boards Series, PLG100 Plug-in Boards Series, FC4/5 Footswitch, FC7 Foot Controller, BC3 Breath Controller 16W POWER CONSUMPTION OUTPUT IMPEDANCE Output: +18.1 –2dbm (10k ohms), Phones: +17.2 –2dbm (33 ohms) 1329(W) x 371(D) x 157(H) mm DIMENSIONS 24.3 kg WEIGHT * Specifications and descriptions in this owner s manual are for information purposes only.
