USB-MIDI Quick Setup – Windows /Cubase AI / S90 XS/S70 ... - Keyfax

Setup the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor
• Click on FILE > SETUP on the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor toolbar
Here you want to setup the communication between the S90 XS/S70 XS and the Editor.
• Select USB as the DATA PORT
• Set the DETAIL = ON
Make settings for Port 1 and Port 4 as shown below. The USB connection requires a two-way, two port
communication.
Next you make a decision
about the direction of
communication. There are two
things to consider:
1) When you open a New
Project in Cubase, how do you
want the Editor to behave?
2) When you open a previously
saved Project, how do you want
the Editor to behave?
Typically, when you create a
New Project you will want the
Editor to clear a new MULTI for
you. Therefore, you will want to
have data sent FROM the
Editor TO the S90 XS/S70 XS.
When you are restoring a
previously saved Cubase
Project you will want the Editor
to send your saved data back
to the S90 XS/S70 XS. Therefore you will want to have data sent FROM the Editor TO the S90 XS/S70 XS.
As you can see I have the “Auto Sync Setting” set so both GLOBAL and CURRENT = PC > XS
This is so that the Total Recall function will send the Current MULTI from the computer to the XS when I
open a Cubase Project. Restoring my MULTI to my XS. It will send an initialized MULTI when I create a New
Project. Cool!
I have the VOICE option set to OFF, as I don’t often need to reload all the User Voices (but you can set this
as your prefer). If set to ON, then the Editor can restore all your USER1, USER2, USER3 and USER Drum Kit
Voices to your XS each time. It is your choice. If you have used a unique Library of sounds, they too can be
recalled when you open the Cubase Project. These settings are important and should be considered on a per
Project basis.
Auto Start is OFF. You may opt at some point to turn this ON. I recommend that until you are used to how
the EDITOR works you leave AUTO START set OFF. When ON, synchronization takes places automatically.
Set the “GENERAL SETTING” area as you prefer. The Keyboard Velocity function when set to “FREE” will
change how loud the note plays by where on the keyboard icon KEY you click. This is pretty cool…
• Click OK
ONLINE/OFFLINE
Clicking this switches the status of the Editor between “ONLINE” and “OFFLINE.” When “ONLINE” is
indicated, the edited status is completely synchronized between the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor and the
S90XS/S70 XS instrument, meaning that any parameter edit you make on the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor is
reflected in the same parameter on the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument and vice versa. When OFFLINE is
