What is the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor?
S90 XS/S70 XS Editor is a convenient tool which lets you edit and save the various parameters of your S90
S90 XS/S70 XS Music Synthesizer. These include Voice and Mixing parameters (edited in the Voice or Multi
mode of the S90 XS/S70 XS) such as Volume, Pan, EG, and Cutoff and other settings. Thanks to its easy-to-
understand graphical interface, you can edit various parameters of the S90 XS/S70 XS right from your
computer—using the mouse to adjust the virtual knobs, sliders, and buttons and entering values from the
computer keyboard. Finally, all the changes you have made can be saved to your computer or transmitted to
the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument.
You can use this S90 XS/S70 XS Editor as a plug-in for the software below
• Studio Manager
•DAW application software compatible with Studio Connections
Studio Manager
Studio Manager V2 is a cross-platform application that enables you to start multiple Editors for controlling
Yamaha hardware products remotely, and to save multiple Editor settings. You can run Studio Manager as a
stand-alone application, or as a plug-in within DAW applications compatible with Studio Connections such
as Cubase 4 or Cubase AI 4.
For more information, refer to the Studio Manager PDF manual.
Studio Connections
Studio Connections is a joint project begun by Steinberg and Yamaha. Music
production systems now increasingly rely on both software and hardware, and there
is a pressing need for closer integration between the two. Studio Connections
provides a comprehensive and seamless music production environment—making the
use of hardware and software both easier and much more efficient. The following
functions are available in Studio Connections.
Recall
With the Recall function, all settings in each Editor can be saved within Studio Manager, and then called up
again when needed. This enables you to recall all the settings of multiple devices from Studio Manager and
control the entire system easily, instantly and automatically.
Recall is especially convenient when used with a DAW application compatible with Studio Connections. This
lets you save the Editor data directly to the project file of the DAW letting you recall all necessary hardware
settings automatically by simply opening the project file.
When executing the Recall function in the Studio Manager, the parameter settings of either device (S90 XS/S70 XS or DAW
software on a computer) are synchronized with the other. You can determine which device (S90 XS/S70 XS or DAW software) is
regarded as the master of the parameter settings by setting the Auto Sync Setting (page 40).
About Open Plug-in Technology
S90 XS/S70 XS Editor Owner’s Manual

Audio Integration
Plug-in software such as software synthesizers and software samplers are exceptionally convenient in that
they let you easily change the various settings and parameters within the host application. However, control
over hardware is not so easy—with the need for various setups such as audio connections, driver settings
and MIDI port connections.
By using a Studio Connections-compatible DAW software, you can control the external hardware synthesizer
within the application, without the need to set up complex connections within a DAW software application—
just as easily and conveniently as you would with plug-in software. The Audio Integration function makes all
this possible. For details about Recall and Audio Integration, visit our web site at:
http://www

About Open Plug-in Technology
Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a software format that enables you to control MIDI devices from a music
DAW application software. For example, this allows you to start up and operate various parts of your music
system, such as voice editors of the synthesizer and mixing control editors—directly from an OPT-compatible
software, without having to use each separately. OPT also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI drivers for each
application, streamlining your music production system and making all operations more convenient and
seamless.
In addition to the original OPT, Open Plug-in Technology Version 2 (OPT 2), designed for Studio Connections,
is also available. The host application Studio Manager supports OPT 2.
About the OPT 2 Overview
OPT 2 is a plug-in format that enhances OPT Level 1 (Panels) and adds some convenient
functions for Studio Connections.
Plug-in software compatible with OPT 2 is indirectly
connected to the DAW application compatible with
Studio Connection, via the Studio Manager.

Data Structure of the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor
S90 XS/S70 XS Editor Owner’s Manual

Data Structure of the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor
The S90 XS/S70 XS Editor lets you create the following data and save them as a single file (extension: .X2E).
• Global data (latest status of edited global parameters)
• Current data in the Voice mode (latest status of edited Voice)
• Current data in the Multi mode (consisting of Mixing setup, latest status of edited Voice and 16 Mixing Voices)
• User Voice data (consisting of four Normal Voice Banks and one Drum Voice Bank)
Current settings include the latest settings of the Common and Element parameters for the Voice last assigned to
each of Parts 1 – 16, as well as Mixing parameter settings such as Voice assignment, pan, volume and effect for
each Part. Among the Voice Banks, only the Mixing Voice Bank data belongs to the Current settings. The S90 XS/
S70 XS Editor lets you edit parameters (including Element parameters) of the Voice assigned to each Part and
save the latest edit status as a file without storing it as a User Voice or a Mixing Voice. This means that you can
easily recall the latest status of the previous edit simply by opening the file.
n The S90 XS/S70 XS Editor VST handles the Global data which includes some of the parameters shown on the “G” row in
the Mixer section and all the parameters in the Global Settings of the Parameter Category section (pages 21 and 24).
The diagram illustrated below indicates the structure of the data created via the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor, the
structure of the data stored in the internal memory of the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument and the relationship between
those two types of data.
*1 When the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument is connected to the computer properly with the ONLINE status, editing a parameter on the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor affects the same parameter on
the S90 XS/S70 XS itself, and vice versa.
*2 The Store Voice operation on the Editor will store the Voice data to the memory of the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument as well as the memory of the Editor.
*3 The Store Global operation and Store Mixing operation will store the data only to the memory of the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument.
As illustrated S90 XS/S70 XS Editor lets you save the current settings of all the parameters as well as the User
Voice data and Mixing Voice data consisting of the same Voice Banks as those of the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument to
a single file. Because the current settings of all the parameters are saved to the file even if they were not stored as
a User Voice or Mixing Voice, you can recall the last editing status simply by starting the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor.

An Example of S90 XS/S70 XS Editor in Use
There is no single way to use the many components in the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor. Your editing needs and
preferences may differ; however, the following example gives you a simple step-by-step guide in how to use
the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor. As an example, this section explains how to edit a Voice in the Voice mode, edit a
Mixing program in the Multi mode, then store the edited data to the memory of the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument
and save the final results of your editing to a file.
n If the [Multi] indication (at the top left of the display) is on, perform the instructions below from step 1. If the [Voice]
indication is on, perform the instructions below from step 2.
1. Change the mode to the Voice mode by clicking the [Voice] indication (at the top left
of the display).
If the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE] indication is set to [ONLINE] before changing the mode, the Auto Sync
window will be called up automatically when this step is executed. As step 2 is thus unnecessary, you
should proceed to step 3.
2. Click the [OFFLINE] to call up the Auto Sync window if the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE]
indication is set to [OFFLINE].
3. On the Auto Sync window, set communication-related parameters such as Input Port,
Output Port and Device Number in the Data Port section, then set the direction of Data
Auto Synchronization (Global, Current and Voice) in the Auto Sync Setting section.
When you want to use the settings on the S90 XS/S70 XS itself as starting data for editing, set the boxes
of Global, Current and Voice in the Auto Sync Setting to on so that the data flows from the instrument to
the computer. To use the settings on the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor as starting data, set both Global, Current
and Voice to the opposite, so that the arrow indicates data flow from the computer to the keyboard. For
details, see page 39.
CAUTION
Keep in mind that when you set Global, Current and User Voice to On, enable data sync from the computer to the S90 XS/
S70 XS (instrument), and then click the [Start] button at the bottom, this operation transmits these types of data currently on
the Editor to the S90 XS/S70 XS itself, automatically overwriting and erasing all the corresponding data already existing on
memory of the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument. When you want to use the settings on the S90 XS/S70 XS itself as starting data
for editing, set the boxes of Global, Current and Voice in the Auto Sync Setting to on so that the data flows from the
instrument to the computer.

5 Auto Sync Setting
This section lets you set how the data synchronization between the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor and the S90
XS/S70 XS instrument is executed when “OFFLINE” is changed to “ONLINE.” Actual data
synchronization is executed from the Auto Sync window (page 51) called up automatically under certain
circumstances such as clicking the [OFFLINE] button, starting the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor and opening a
new file on the Editor.
Global
Determines whether or not the Global data (see page 4) is synchronized and which data (S90 XS/S70 XS
Editor or S90 XS/S70 XS itself) is synchronized with the other.
Current
Determines whether or not the Current data (see page 4) is synchronized and which data (S90 XS/S70
XS Editor or S90 XS/S70 XS itself) is synchronized with the other.
Voice
Determines whether or not the Voice data (see page 4) is synchronized and which data (S90 XS/S70 XS
Editor or S90 XS/S70 XS itself) is synchronized with the other.
Auto Start
When this is set to “On” and one of the following operations is executed, data synchronization will be
started automatically as soon as the Auto Sync window is opened.
• When clicking “OFFLINE” after setting the MIDI IN/OUT parameter correctly in the Utility mode on
the S90 XS/S70 XS, setting the MIDI Ports correctly on the computer, and making a proper
connection.
• When the connection between the S90 XS/S70 XS and a computer are corrected after
appropriately correcting the setup of the S90 XS/S70 XS and the computer.
• When the settings on the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument and the computer are corrected after

Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems such as no sound output or abnormal behavior, verify the connections before
checking the following.
Sound does not change when using the knobs or sliders.
• Is “ONLINE” indicated on the Editor window?
• Is the lamp at left of “ONLINE” indicator turned on?
If it is turned off, the settings related to communication between the S90 XS/S70 XS and a
computer may be wrong. Check the MIDI Port setting on the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor and Studio
Manager, the MIDI IN/OUT parameter setting in the MIDI display of the Utility mode on the S90
XS/S70 XS instrument, or the cable connection between the S90 XS/S70 XS and the computer.
• Check the MIDI Port setting and Device No. setting. (page 39)
Bulk data is not transmitted/received successfully.
• Check the same points as above such as “ONLINE” indication and MIDI Port settings.
The appropriate Port is not shown in the Setup window.
• The MIDI Port in the Setup window can be selected from the Ports specified in the host
application. Check the MIDI Port settings in the host application.
• When “!” is shown at left of the Port name (e.g., “! Yamaha USB IN 0-1”), this indicates that the
previously used Port cannot be found or some Ports are not set properly. Check the MIDI Port
settings in the host application.
