Info

These arpeggio types are programmed primarily with Control Change and Pitch Bend data. They are used to change the tone or pitch of the sound, rather than play specific notes. In fact, some types contain no note data at all. When using a type of this category, set the Key Mode parameter to “direct,” “thru+direct,” or “sort+direct.” Sequencer Block NOTE The “Key Mode” can be set in the Arp Edit display (page 36) of the Voice Edit, Arp Edit display (page 84) of the Performance Part Edit and Arp Edit display (page 104) of the Multi Part Edit. This block lets you play the Standard MIDI file including the 16 parts in the Multi/Sequence Play mode. The MIDI messages played in the Sequencer block will be transmitted to the tone generator block. Audio Recording/Playback Block This block lets you record your keyboard performance as audio data to the USB storage device or internal flash memory and play back the recorded audio data. Audio Recording The sound output from the tone generator block of this instrument and the sound input via the MIC INPUT jack will be transferred to the Effect block then recorded as audio data. The audio data is recorded and saved as the WAVE file (44.1kHz/16-bit/stereo). Audio Playback Arpeggios containing mainly non-note events—Category: Cntr Tips for Arpeggio playback It not only provides inspiration and full rhythmic passages over which you can perform, it gives you quality MIDI data you can use in creating songs, or fully formed backing parts to be used in your live performances. For details, refer to “Arpeggio” in the printed Owner's Manual. You can directly play back the files stored on the internal flash memory or saved on the external USB storage device. The playback sound will bypass the Effect block before being output.

Controller Block This block consists of the keyboard, Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels, Ribbon Controller, Knobs, Sliders and so on. The keyboard itself doesn’t generate sounds, but instead generates/transmits note on/off, velocity and other information (MIDI messages) to the synthesizer's tone generator block when you play notes. The controllers also generate/transmit MIDI messages. The synthesizer's tone generator block produces the sound according to the MIDI messages transmitted from the keyboard and controllers. Keyboard The keyboard transmits the note on/off messages to the Tone Generator Block (for sounding). The keyboard is also used for triggering Arpeggio playback. You can change the note range of the keyboard in octaves by using the OCTAVE [+]/ [-] buttons, transpose the notes by using the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons and set (in the General display of the Utility mode) how the actual velocity is generated according to the strength with which you play notes. Pitch Bend Wheel Use the Pitch Bend wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away from you) or down Pitch Up (roll the wheel toward you) while playing the keyboard. Move the wheel up or down to bend the pitch up or down. This wheel is self-centering and will automatically return to normal pitch when released. Each preset Voice has its own default Pitch Bend Range setting. The Pitch Bend Range setting for each Voice can be changed in the Play Mode display (page 34) of the Voice Edit mode. From this Pitch Down display you can also reverse the Pitch Bend function—so that moving the wheel up lowers the pitch, and moving it down raises the pitch. Functions other than Pitch Bend can be assigned to the Pitch Bend wheel in the Controller display (page 39) of the Voice Edit mode. Modulation Wheel Even though the Modulation wheel is conventionally used to apply vibrato to the sound, many of the preset Voices have other functions and effects assigned to the wheel. The more you move this wheel up, the greater the effect that is applied to the sound. To avoid accidentally applying effects to the current Voice, make sure the Modulation wheel is set to minimum before you start playing. Various functions can be assigned to the Modulation wheel in the Controller display (page 39) of the Voice Edit mode. Assignable Function Buttons According to the XA Mode (Expanded Articulation Mode) settings (page 4), you can call up specific Elements of the selected Voice by pressing each of these buttons during your keyboard performance. Assignable functions can be set on the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor. You can select how the on/off status of these buttons is switched by using the Assignable Function 1 Mode and Assignable Function 2 Mode parameters in the Controller display (page 39) of the Voice Edit mode. Furthermore, you can assign various functions to these buttons (other than calling up specific Elements). Knob/Slider These four knobs let you change various aspects of the Voice's sound in real time—while you play. The four sliders let you adjust the volume of the Voice Elements, Performance Parts and Mixing Parts. DAW Remote Reference Manual Basic Structure Maximum Minimum Press the [DAW REMOTE] button to enter the Remote mode. Entering the Remote mode will change the functions of the panel buttons—with the exception of [MIC INPUT ON/OFF], OCTAVE [+]/[-] buttons, TRANSPOSE [+]/[-] buttons and [UTILITY] buttons—to those exclusive to this mode.
