S90 XS/S70 XS Editor VST is a convenient tool which lets you edit and save the various parameters of your S90 XS/S70 XS Music Synthesizer. These include Voice and Mixing parameters (edited in the Voice or Multi mode of the S90 XS/S70 XS) such as Volume, Pan, EG, and Cutoff and other settings. Thanks to its easy-tounderstand graphical interface, you can edit various parameters of the S90 XS/S70 XS right from your computer—using the mouse to adjust the virtual knobs, sliders, and buttons and entering values from the computer keyboard. Finally, all the changes you have made can be saved to your computer or transmitted to the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument. The S90 XS/S70 XS Editor VST, based on the “VST3 technology” by Steinberg, works as a VST3 plug-in with Cubase series 4.5 or later (DAW application). The S90 XS/S70 XS Editor VST also works as the same way as other VST instrument software, allowing you to save the edited settings of the S90 XS/S70 XS, or use them for another project. In addition, you can handle the S90 XS/S70 XS Voices in the Media Bay window in Cubase when using the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor VST with Cubase 4.5 or later, allowing you to search for, listen, and play the S90 XS/S70 XS Voices within Media Bay in Cubase. The S90 XS/S70 XS Editor VST provides a comprehensive and seamless music production environment—making the use of hardware and software both easier and much more efficient. S90 XS/S70 XS Editor VST Owner’s Manual 2  Data Structure of the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor VST Data Structure of the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor VST The S90 XS/S70 XS Editor VST 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 VST 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 22 and 25). The diagram illustrated below indicates the structure of the data created via the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor VST, 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.
