Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha S08 Music Synthesizer. In order to get the most out of your new S08 and its
sophisticated functions, we suggest you read through this manual thoroughly. Also keep it in a safe, convenient place
so that you can regularly refer to it when necessary.
Package Contents
• PA-5C AC Adaptor * • CD-ROM •Installation Guide
• Owner’s Manual • Data List
* May not be included in your area. Please check with your Yamaha dealer.
About the Included CD-ROM
Application software for your S08 is included on this CD-ROM. The Voice Editor lets you edit the Voices of the S08
with a highly intuitive graphical interface. With the included sequencing software (Windows only), you can easily
create and edit your own original songs on your computer. For details, refer to the separate Installation Guide or the
on-line manual included with the software.
Never attempt to play back the CD-ROM on an audio CD player. Doing so may result in damage to your hearing as well as
to your CD player/audio speakers.
Main Features
•Exceptionally high-quality dynamic Voices — including many sounds from Yamaha’s top-of-the-line S80 Music
Synthesizer (page 16).
Naturally responsive 88-key Balanced Hammer Effect keyboard, drawing on our extensive experience and
expertise in piano-making.
Wide variety of pro-quality digital effects (page 46).
Category Search function for quickly calling up Voices in a desired instrument group (page 31).
•A total of 493 Normal Voices and 29 Drum Voices, all GM2/XG-compatible — in addition to Preset Voices and
User Voices (page 20).
Memory cards, which let you easily organize and archive the internal data (page 53).
Sequence Play function, that lets you directly play song files stored to memory cards (page 51).
Comprehensive, detailed editing features for customizing your Voices (page 40 and 58).
Convenient USB terminal for direct, easy connection to computer — with just one cable (page 14).
GM System Level 1
“GM System Level 1” is a standard specification that defines the arrangement of voices in a tone generator and its MIDI
functionality, ensuring that data can be played back with substantially the same sounds on any GM-compatible tone
generator, regardless of its manufacturer or model. Tone generators and song data that meet the “GM System Level 1” bear
this GM logo.
GM System Level 2 (GM2)
“GM System Level 2” is a standard specification that enhances the original “GM System Level 1” and improves song data
compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater voice selection, expanded voice parameters, and integrated effect
processing. Tone generators and song data that meet the “GM System Level 2” specifications bear this GM2 logo.
XG
“XG” is a tone generator format that expands the voice arrangement of the “GM System Level 1” specification to meet the
ever-increasing demands of today’s computer peripheral environment, providing richer expressive power while maintaining
upward compatibility of data. “XG” greatly expands “GM System Level 1” by defining the ways in which voices are expanded
or edited and the structure and type of effects.
When commercially available song data bearing the XG logo is played back on a tone generator which bears the XG logo, you
will enjoy a full musical experience that includes unlimited expansion voices and effect functions.
USB
USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting a computer with peripheral devices.
It allows “hot swapping” (connecting peripheral devices while the power to the computer is on).

About the “Page” References in this Manual
PAGE xx ..... Refers to a display “page” in the LCD
page xx........ Refers to an actual page in this manual.
Many of the functions and parameters of the S08 are shown on various display “pages,” each of which is numbered
within each mode and indicated in the display. Searching for a function or parameter is made more convenient and
fast by the use of these page numbers.
To distinguish these display page references from actual pages in the manual, we’ve applied the following convention:
“PAGE” (all capital letters) refers to the display page. Unless indicated otherwise, the PAGE reference is for display
pages within the same mode (as described for other parameters in the same section).
Throughout the manual, parameter names are prefaced by numbers, such as “13-2 Resonance.” This, for example,
indicates that the Resonance parameter is on display PAGE 13 in the selected mode.
When one display page contains two or more related parameters, use the [ ]/[ ] buttons (page 26) to scroll
through the available parameters. These related parameters selected by the [ ]/[ ] buttons are indicated by
hyphenated numbers (e.g., 13-1, 13-2, etc.). In the example above, you can select the Resonance parameter by using
the [ ]/[ ] buttons to move to the second page.
n For a full listing of the parameters and their corresponding display pages, refer to the Function List (page 58) or the
Parameter Table (page 18).
Copying of the commercially available music sequence data and/or digital audio files is strictry prohibited except
for your personal use.
The illustrations and LCD screens as shown in this owner’s manual are for instructional purposes only, and may
appear somewhat different from those on your instrument.
The company names and product names in this Owner’s Manual are the trademarks or registered trademarks of

Before Use
Before Use
Power Supply
1 Make sure that the S08’s STANDBY/ON switch is
at the STANDBY (off) position.
2 Connect the PA-5C’s DC plug to the S08’s DC IN
terminal on the instrument’s rear panel.
3 Connect the adaptor’s AC plug to the nearest
electrical outlet.
Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the
Yamaha PA-5C or an equivalent recommended by
Yamaha. The use of an incompatible adaptor may cause
irreparable damage to the S08, and may even pose a
serious shock hazard! ALWAYS UNPLUG THE AC
ADAPTOR FROM THE AC POWER OUTLET WHEN
THE S08 IS NOT IN USE.
Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position,
electricity is still flowing to the instrument at a minimum
level. When not using the S08 for an extended period of
time, be sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the
wall AC outlet.
Power-on Procedure
When you have made all the necessary connections
between your S08 and any other devices (page 13),
make sure that all volume settings are turned down all
the way to zero. Then turn on every device in your
setup in the order of MIDI masters (senders), MIDI
slaves (receivers), then the audio equipment (mixers,
amplifiers, speakers, etc.). This ensures smooth MIDI
operation and prevents speaker damage.
When powering down the setup, first turn down the
volume for each audio device, then switch off each
device in the reverse order (first audio devices, then
MIDI).
When using the S08 as MIDI slave:
Turning on the S08
In order to avoid possible damage to the speakers or other
connected electronic equipment, always switch on the
power of the S08 before switching on the power of the
amplified speakers or mixer and amplifier. Likewise,
always switch off the power of the S08 after switching off
the power of the amplified speakers or mixer and
amplifier.
n Before you switch your S08 on or off, first turn down the
volume of any connected audio equipment.
1 Press the STANDBY/ON switch.
A splash screen (“Welcome to S08”) is displayed
briefly. The Multi or Voice Play Mode screen
appears next.
2 Turn up the amplifier’s volume as necessary.
3 Adjust the S08’s [VOLUME] slider to set an
appropriate volume level.

Connections
Connections
Before connecting the S08 to other electronic components, turn off the power to all the components. Before turning the power on or
off to all components, set all volume levels to minimum(0). Otherwise, electrical shock or damage to the components may occur.
Connecting to External
Audio Equipment
Since the S08 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
S08’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.
n When using just one powered speaker, connect it to the
OUTPUT L/MONO jack on the rear panel.
Connecting to a Mixer
If you want to integrate the S08 into a larger system
with other instruments and additional audio
processing capabilities, connect it to a mixer, amplifier
and stereo monitor system as shown below.
n Connecting a pair of headphones does not affect audio
output from the OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks. The
audio output at the PHONES jack and the OUTPUT
jacks is exactly the same.
Connecting External MIDI
Equipment
You can connect an external MIDI device using a MIDI
cable (available separately) and control it from the S08.
You can also use an external MIDI keyboard or
sequencer to control the S08’s internal sounds. This
section introduces several different MIDI applications.
n The HOST SELECT (UTILITY PAGE 13) should be set
to “MIDI.” Otherwise, MIDI data will not be transmitted
from the S08’s MIDI OUT connector.

Recording and Playback using an
External MIDI Sequencer
Controlling Another MIDI Device via
MIDI THRU
With the above MIDI connections, you can send MIDI
data from the S08’s MIDI OUT terminal, while
sending MIDI data from the external sequencer to an
external MIDI synthesizer via the S08’s MIDI THRU
terminal.
n MIDI THRU simply relays the MIDI messages received
via MIDI IN.
n 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
You can use a connected computer to control the S08
and to transfer S08 data to/from computer via MIDI.
With the included Voice Editor program, for instance,
you can edit the Voices of the S08.
There are two ways to connect your S08 to a computer:
Depending on your particular computer, the
connections may differ. (See below.)
n You may also want to change the Local On/Off setting
(pages 15 and 67), depending on how you are using the
S08 in your MIDI system.
n You will also need the appropriate MIDI application
(sequencer, editor, etc.), compatible with your computer
platform.
1: USB connection
n The data via the MIDI IN terminal is ignored when using
the USB port (Host Select set to “USB”).
n When connecting the S08 to a computer with a USB
cable, make sure that the USB cable is properly connected
before turning on the power.
Be careful not to turn off the power of the S08 if an
application using the USB/MIDI connection is currently
running.
n The USB connection can only be used for transfer of
MIDI data. No audio data can be transferred via USB.
n Once connected via USB, the S08 begins communication
after a short time.
n Keep in mind that when using Windows 2000/XP, some
operating problems on the computer may occur during
startup. If this happens, try turning on the power of the
S08 only after the computer is properly running.
n When connecting the S08 and your computer via USB,
make sure to connect them directly without routing
through a USB hub.

Using an external MIDI interface
n Please use the appropriate MIDI interface for your
computer.
Local On/Off — When Connected to a
Computer (UTILITY PAGE 12)
When connecting the S08 to a computer, the
keyboard performance data is generally sent to the
computer, and then returned from the computer to
play the tone generator or sound source. If the Local
Switch is set to “on,” a “double” sound may result,
since the tone generator is receiving performance
data from both the keyboard directly and the
computer. Use the setting suggestions below as a
guideline; specific instructions may differ depending
on your computer and the software used.
When MIDI “Echo” is enabled on the software/
computer, set the S08 Local Switch to “off.”
n When transmitting or receiving System Exclusive
data (such as with the Bulk Dump function, pages
36 and 49), use the setting example below, making
sure that MIDI “Echo” on the computer software is
set to “off.”
When MIDI “Echo” is disabled on the software/
computer, set the S08 Local Switch to “on.”
n Although not indicated in the illustration above,
the S08 actually receives and responds to MIDI
data from the computer application (sequencer),
regardless of the Local Sw setting on the S08.
* MIDI “Echo” is a function on sequencers that
takes any data received via the MIDI IN and
echoes” it (or sends it as is) through the MIDI OUT.
In some software, this function is also called “MIDI
Thru.”
n Refer to the owner’s manual of your particular
software for specific instructions.
Connecting Controllers
The S08 has controller jacks on the rear panel,
including FOOT SWITCH and FOOT CONTROLLER.
You can connect optional controllers such as a
footswitch (the FC4 or FC5) and foot controller (the
FC7) to control tone, volume, pitch and other
parameters.
n Details about how to use these controllers are given on
page 37.

Basics SectionQuick GuideReferenceAppendix
Overview of the S08
Controller
This block consists of the keyboard, Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels and so on (page 37). The keyboard itself
doesn’t generate sounds, but instead sends note, velocity and other information to the S08’s tone generator section
for the notes you play. The controllers also send non-note performance data. Information from the keyboard and
controllers can be transmitted to other external MIDI devices through the MIDI OUT connector.
Tone Generator
This block 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 the Voice Mode.
About the Tone Generator (AWM2) & Waveform (Wave)
The tone generator of the S08 utilizes the sophisticated AWM2 system.
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.
n AWM2 is not just limited to conventional pitched instruments (Normal Voices), but also produces various drum and percussion
instruments (Drum Voices). For details about Normal and Drum Voices, see page 22.
Maximum Polyphony
The maximum polyphony of the S08 is 64 notes. However, the actual note polyphony will vary depending on the
number of Elements in the Voice. To calculate the actual polyphony, divide the total polyphony of 64 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
The effects can be used to change or enhance the sound of a Multi or Voice.
These include the effects of the Reverb section (17 types) for adding ambient after-tones to the sound, the Chorus
section (17 types) that add animation and depth, and the Variation section (54 types) which features a wealth of
additional effects.
n For more details about the effects, see page 46.
Card Drive/Sequencer
The Card Drive block lets you save data or load data to/from the Memory Card (page 53).
The sequencer block can be used to play back Standard MIDI Files held on Memory Card (page 51).

Parameter Table
Parameter Table
The numbers in each column indicate the display PAGE corresponding to the parameter at left (with the exception of the
column on the far right, which indicates the corresponding manual page). For example, you can see that the Reverb Send
parameter is found on three separate display pages: PAGE 22 of Multi Part Edit, PAGE 11 of Normal Voice Common Edit,
and PAGE 9 of Drum Voice Key Edit.
This table is helpful in locating the corresponding display pages in different modes. This is handy when you want to make
the same or similar settings to the same parameter in a different mode — for example, setting the Reverb Send in the Multi
mode to the same value as Reverb Send in the Voice mode. It’s also handy for cross-checking same parameters for
programming complex sound changes — such as setting the Voice’s Filter Cutoff to a certain value, then going to Cutoff in
the Multi mode and tweaking it further.
Since the owner’s manual page reference is also provided, you can quickly find the corresponding explanation by checking
the currently selected mode and PAGE number on the S08, and referring to this table.

Memory Structure
A Voice is a single instrument sound, created by using the Elements and setting various parameters. In the Voice
Play mode, you can select and play any of these Voices. In the Multi Play mode, you assign a different Voice to each
part and use a sequencer to play several Voices simultaneously.
Voices are stored in the internal memory (PRESET, USER, GM2/XG).
Multis are stored in the internal memory (USER).
* Drum Voices XG121~128 are not of the GM2/XG set, but are original drum kits specifically programmed for the S08.
n A total of 493 (GM2/XG) and 128 (Preset) Normal Voices plus 29 Drum Voices are available as presets. You can create and store
your own original Voices; the S08 has User memory space for 128 User Normal Voices and two User Drum Voices.

Voices & Multis
Overview of Voice/Element/Multi
Each Voice can consist of up to four Elements. Each Element itself is a high-quality waveform or instrument sound.
Voice & Element
Each Voice can consist of up to four Elements. Elements are made from waveforms, and the quality of the Elements
is high enough that each can be used on its own as a voice. Since you can combine up to four Elements together in a
voice, highly expressive and richly textured sounds are possible. You can also split different instrument sounds
across the keyboard to be playable separately with your left and right hands — without having to specially set up a
Multi program (page 42).
Multi
A Multi consists of up to 16 Parts, each of which can play a Normal Voice or Drum Voice Part. By assigning different
Voices and MIDI channels to each part, and by using a sequencer or computer for song data playback, you can have a
complete ensemble of 16 independent instrument sounds.You can also play Multis from the keyboard. This allows
you to set up layers of different Voices, or special key splits in which your right and left hands can play separate
Voices (page 34).

Voices & Multis
Normal Voices & Drum Voices
There are two Voice types: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. Normal Voices are mainly pitched instrument 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. The Drum Voices also include special sound effects (SFX Kit).
n The sound-to-key assignments for the Kit are fixed and cannot be changed.
n You can select whether each Part uses a Normal Voice or a Drum Voice in the Part Mode PAGE (MULTI PART EDIT PAGE 9).
Part Mode Setting (MULTI PART EDIT PAGE 9)
norm (Normal Voice)
With this setting, Normal Voices can be assigned to the Part.

With this setting, Drum Voices can be assigned to the Part.
drumS1/2 (Drum Setup 1/2)
Used to play commercially available song data (switches automatically).
n The part set to a setting other than “norm” is called a Drum Part.
n If you’ve edited a drum kit in Drum Voice Edit mode and you wish to use that kit, set this to “drum.”
n When an XG System On message is received from an external sequencer, this is automatically set to “drumS1.” In order to use the
settings made in Drum Voice Edit, record the appropriate message in the song data (when Part Mode is set to Drum). Refer to the
MIDI Data Format section in the separate Data List.

You need to select the Voice/Multi before entering Edit mode. All parameters can be set and stored per Voice/Multi.
Parameters are divided into two basic groups: 1) functions that are related to each Voice (or Multi), and 2) functions
that affect all Voices (or Multis). The former are set in the Voice/Multi Edit mode and latter in the Utility mode.
Utility mode settings can be saved to memory card along with the Voices and Multis.
Selecting a Mode
There are separate Play modes for Multis and Voices. To enter each of these modes, use the appropriate MODE
button ([VOICE] for Voice Play mode, [MULTI] for Multi Play mode). There are also separate Edit and Job modes for
Multis and Voices. To enter the Edit or Job mode, simply press the [EDIT] or [JOB] button while in each respective
Play mode.
Similarly, pressing the [STORE] button in the Voice or Multi mode takes you into the Store mode where you can
store Multis or Voices. In addition, the modes mentioned above, there is also a Utility mode, which is for making
global settings to the instrument, a Controller mode, which contains Controller related settings, and the Card mode,
which contains Card related settings. Finally, there is the Demo mode, which allows you to play back the Demo
songs.
To select these, press the [UTILITY] button for the Utility mode, the [CONTROLLER] button for the Controller
mode and the [CARD] button for the Card mode.
To exit to another mode, press the respective button for that mode or the [EXIT] button.

Basic Operations
Selecting a Screen
You can switch between screens by using the []/[],
[ ]/[ ], [+]/[–] and [EXIT] buttons.
[]/[] buttons
Many of the displays consist of different screens. Use
the []/[] buttons to select the various screens.
When selecting the various display pages, an arrow
appears at the right of the LCD, indicating the
parameter type in the printed list on the panel.
For example, if the display for the Total Volume
parameter in the Multi Edit mode is called up, the
arrow in the LCD indicates that this parameter belongs
to the General type.
In the example below, the display for the (Element)
Cutoff parameter in the Voice Edit mode is shown, and
the arrow indicates that this parameter belongs to the
Filter type.
[ ]/[ ] buttons
Some of the display pages have multiple “screens.”
These are indicated by special arrow marks in the top
right of the LCD (see below). Use the [ ]/[ ]
buttons to select these pages.
When the first screen of a mulitple-page set is called up,
the arrow points to the right (), indicating further
screens are available. When a page in the middle of the
set is called up, arrows point in both directions ( ),
indicating you can select either the next or previous
screens. When the last screen is called up, the arrow
points to the left (), indicating no further screens are
available.
For certain parameters (such as Voice Name, etc.),
these buttons are used to move the cursor position in
the display.
[+]/[–] buttons
In the Multi Edit mode, these buttons are used to select
each part. To select the Common parameters, press
both buttons simultaneously. In the Voice Edit mode,
these buttons are used to select each Element. To

Basic Operations
Numeric keypad, [ENTER]
button
You can specify the value for the selected parameter by
using the numeric keypad, then actually set that value
by pressing the [ENTER] button. For example, to set a
value of “100,” press (in order) the numeric keypad
buttons [1], [0], and [0]. (The parameter indicator
flashes.) Finally, press the [ENTER] button to set the
value.
Enter the value with the numeric keypad or the keyboard
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, one-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.

Using Multi Mode
Using the S08 as a
Multitimbral Tone
Generator (Multi Edit)
Multi mode lets you configure the S08 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
Multi 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 Multi 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.
n The particular part(s) can be switched on/off
temporarily (Mute).
n You can hear the difference between the newly edited
Multi and the same Multi prior to editing (page 41).
n For details about MIDI channels, see page 72.
n You can use the included sequencer software (Windows
only; see the attached Installation Guide) to play multiple
Parts on the S08. Before doing that, however, make sure
that all connections between the computer and the S08
have been properly made (page 14).
1 After pressing the [MULTI] button, press the
[EDIT] button (the respective LEDs will light). You
are now in the Multi Edit mode.
n Before entering the Multi Edit mode, you need to select a
Multi for editing.
n You can initialize the Multi, if necessary (page 48).
2 If the Common Edit display is shown, press the [+]
or [–] button to switch to the Part Edit display.
3 Use the [+] and [–] buttons to select Parts. Here,
you can select P2 (Part 2) for the piano, P3 (Part 3)
for bass and P10 (Part 10) for drums. First, let’s
select P2 (Part 2).
4 Use the [] and [] buttons to switch to the Voice
Selection screen (PAGE 1), then specify the Voice to
be used as the piano Part.
5 Next, use the [] and [] buttons to switch to the
Volume screen (PAGE 2), then set the volume for
the piano Part as well as its Pan position, Chorus
and Reverb Send levels, if necessary. For details, see
page 65.
6 Continue using the [] and [] buttons and switch
to the Rcv Ch (MIDI Receive Channel) screen
(PAGE 6). Set the parameter to 2.

7 Use the [] and [] buttons and switch to the
Mono/Poly screen (PAGE 8). Set the parameter to
“poly” (polyphonic).
n For Parts that do not require polyphony, the Mode
parameter can be set to “mono” (monophonic).
8 Use the [] and [] buttons and switch to the Part
Mode screen (PAGE 9). Set the parameter to
“norm” (normal).
n In the case of a Drum Part, set the mode to “drum.”
n For details about the Part mode, see page 22.
9 Use the [] and [] buttons to call up the NtLmt
(Note Limit) and VelLmt (Velocity Limit) settings,
and check whether or not the Part of the piano
Voice is set appropriately — in other words, make
sure that the Note or Velocity settings do not
prevent the Voice from being played normally.
Except in special cases, you should generally avoid
setting limits on the note and velocity ranges, in
order to ensure that notes are sounded properly and
are not cut off.
By following steps 3 to 9 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 S08 which then plays the
Voice for the Part assigned to MIDI channel 2.
) Repeat steps 3 to 9 above, but set up Part 3 for
bass and to receive on MIDI channel 3.
! Repeat steps 3 to 9 again, setting up Part 10 for
drums and to receive on MIDI channel 10.
n 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.”
n There are many other Part-specific parameters in the
Multi Edit mode. For details, see page 63.
@ Before exiting Multi Edit Mode, you need to store
the settings for the Multi. For details about storing
Multis, see page 50.
Now, when you select this Multi in the Multi Play
mode, you can play back the song file on computer
(sequencer), and the piano, bass and drum Parts will be
played back according to each track’s MIDI channel.
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
Multi so that you can also play another Part live.
This is the same as the Multi created earlier (page 33),
but with the addition of another Part for live playback.
Be careful to make the following important settings.
In the Multi 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 and set the
MIDI Receive Channel to 1.
•At the Trans Ch (PAGE 4) screen in MIDI Mode,
set the MIDI Receive Channel to 1.
The Voice for Part 1 can now be played live using
the keyboard.
n Because the S08 features a fully-compatible XG tone
generator, you can play any of the wide variety of
commercially available XG/GM/GM2 song software.
This ensures broad dynamic and expressive range, with a
wide variety of rich instrument sounds and effects. You
can also mute specific parts of the MIDI data — allowing
you to practice the missing parts yourself, or to use the
song data as instrumental backing for your own singing
and playing.
Splitting the Keyboard —
Setting Upper and Lower
Ranges for the Voices
The illustration below shows an example in which the
keyboard has been effectively divided into two separate
key ranges, letting you play one Voice over one range,
and a second Voice over the other. In the following
example, the Voices change at the note C3, letting you
play a string Voice in the lower range and a piano Voice
in the upper. To set up the Voices in this way, follow
the instructions below.

n Set the MIDI Transmit Channel to 1 from the Trans
Ch display (PAGE 4 ) in the MIDI mode. Now you
are ready to play the Part 1 Voice within the lower
range. The Voice assigned to Part 1 can be played
over MIDI Receive Channel 1.
8 Use the [] and [] buttons to call up the Mono/
Poly screen (PAGE 8). Set the parameter to “poly”
(polyphonic).
9 Use the [] and [] buttons to call up the Part
Mode screen (PAGE 9). Set the parameter to
“norm” (normal)
With settings made in steps 3 to 9 above, you can
now play the strings voice assigned to “P1” (Part 1)
and set to MIDI Receive Channel 1 (RcvCh) — when
you play in the key range of B2 and lower.
) Make the settings for the upper Part (Part 2), in the
same manner as you did in steps 3 to 9.
For Part 2, select a piano Voice, setting the Note
Limit Low to “C3” and the Note Limit High to the
maximum of “G8.” Also set the MIDI Receive
Channel to 1, as you did with Part 1. The piano
Voice of Part 2 sounds when you play keys higher
than C3.
n
In the Edit mode, the selected Part’s Voice is played back.
n
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.”
n
There are many other Part-specific parameters in the
Multi Edit mode. For details, see page 64.
! Before exiting the Multi Edit mode, store the above
settings to a Multi. For instructions on storing a
Multi, refer to page 50.
Now that you’ve created and stored the Multi, you can
call it up anytime within the Multi play mode — and
play a strings Voice from keys B2 and below, while
playing a piano Voice from keys C3 and above.
Layering Two Voices
(Parts) Together
The illustration below gives one application example of
combining two Voices in a layer. In this example, a strings
Voice is selected for Part 1 and a piano Voice is selected for
Part 2, and the two are played together in unison.
This Multi can be easily created and set so that both
Parts 1 and 2 are layered together across the entire
range of the keyboard.
•For both Part 1 and Part 2, set the Note Limit Low
parameter to “C-2” and the Note Limit High
parameter to “G8.”

Using Multi Mode
Saving S08 Settings to an External Device
(Bulk Dump Send)
Using the Bulk Dump function, you can transmit
your S08 settings to an external device, such as a
computer, and save them. This is a fast and
convenient way to back up your important data.
You can also use this function to record important
S08 data at the beginning of a song, so that all your
original settings and data are automatically reset
when your play back the song.
The following explanation shows you how to do this
using the realtime recording functions of the
included sequence software (Windows only). In this
example, one of the MIDI track is used for recording
the User Multi data.
n Naturally, this operation is not limited to use with
the included sequence software; other sequencers
will work for this just as well. For specific
information and operation instructions, refer to
the owner’s manual (or help messages) of your
particular sequencer.
n The actual sequence software operations described
here may differ slightly depending on the version
of the software you are using and your particular
computer.
n Make sure that the S08 is properly connected to the
computer (page 14). For information on settings
for the included sequence software, refer to the on-
line manual included with the software.
1 In the Multi mode, select the S08 Multi you want
to transmit.

Using Controllers
Using Controllers
The S08 is equipped with Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels. By connecting an optional Foot Controller or
Footswitch, you can also control a variety of parameters (such as changing the sound, changing Program Numbers,
etc.) with your feet— and leave your hands free to play the keyboard.
Pitch Bend Wheel &
Modulation Wheel
Pitch Bend wheel’s function is to control pitch. Move the
wheel upward/downward to bend the pitch upward/
downward. The effect can also be reversed.
The more you move modulation wheel upwards, the greater
the modulation that is applied to the sound.
n The Pitch Bend Range can be set for each Voice/Part
(pages 58 and 65).
n The Modulation Depth can also be set. Also, the wheel
can be assigned to control different parameters, such as
Volume or Pan (page 67).
n The Modulation Wheel can also be set to control the
tone, amplitude (volume), pitch, or filter setting of the
Voice. The Modulation Wheel can be used to control the
parameters below.
•MW Variation Effect Control Depth (VarCtl)
•MW Filter Control (FltCtl)
•MW LFO Pitch Modulation Depth (PMod)
•MW LFO Filter Modulation Depth (FMod)
•MW LFO Amplitude Modulation Depth (AMod)
MW/AC1/
LFO Control Depth Edit PAGE number
The numbers in each column indicate the edit
display PAGE corresponding to the MW/AC1/LFO
control depth parameter at left.
If vibrato is also applied and you want to control
only the cutoff frequency by the Modulation wheel,
set the PMod parameter (assigned to the same
controller or LFO) to “0.”
n You can copy the controller settings of the Voice
mode to the Multi mode.
Controllers and External MIDI Control
Various control functions can be assigned to the
Modulation Wheel and the Assignable Controller
(See below). Besides these other functions, the
controllers are already set to control the tone,
volume, pitch, and filter settings. When the
controller is used, it not only affects the built-in tone
generator of the S08, but also simultaneously
outputs corresponding MIDI data via the MIDI OUT
terminal.
n When the Multi mode is active, this controls the
Part for which the Transmit Channel setting of the
MIDI mode (PAGE 4) and the Receive Channel
setting of Multi Part Edit (PAGE 6) are the same.
AC1 (Assignable Controller 1)
The AC1 (Assignable Controller 1) is available by
using an external MIDI controller (such as a foot
controller connected to a MIDI keyboard). By
setting the AC1 Control number here to match the
controller on the connected MIDI device, you can
use that controller to change the sound, according to
the settings made in the other AC1 parameters —
such as AC1FltCtl, AC1 FMod/PMod, or the
Variation Effect’s AC1VarCtl.
For example, by setting AC1 to “2” here, you can use
a breath controller to control the Voice of a Part.
For best results, also make sure that the sensitivity
parameters (AC1FitCl, AC1 FMod/PMod, or the
Variation Effect’s AC1VarCtl) are set appropriately,
as needed.

Using Controllers
Foot Controller
An optional Foot Controller (such as the FC7), connected
to the FOOT CONTROLLER jack (page 15) on the rear
panel, can be assigned to any one of a number of
controller parameters (page 39). 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 when performing live.
n By setting the AC1 to the same control number as the
Foot Controller, you can use the Foot Controller to
continuously control the parameters below for each Part
or Voice.
• AC1 Filter Control
• AC1 LFO Filter Modulation Depth
• AC1 LFO Amplitude Modulation Depth
• AC1 Variation Effect Control Depth
The control number for AC1 can be set in the following
pages:
Multi Part Edit PAGE 19 (when controlling in the Multi
mode)
Controller PAGE 8 (when controlling in the Voice mode)
See next section below for information on setting the
control number for the Foot Controller.
Using the Foot Controller to Control
Parameters
In live performance, you can use the Foot Controller
onstage to keep your hands free to play the
keyboard, yet still be able to control various
functions necessary for your songs or performance.
In the following example, we’ll show you how to set
up the Foot Controller to function the same as (and
substitute for) the Modulation Wheel.
1 Press the [CONTROLLER] button to enter the
Controller mode.
2 Press the [
] and [] buttons to call up the
FCTxCtlNo (FC transmit Control Number)
screen (PAGE 2).
3 Use the [INC/DEC] buttons to select “01”
(Modulation Wheel).
The Foot Controller can now be used to perform the
same control function as that of the Modulation
Wheel.
n For details about Control Numbers and Control
Change messages, refer to the separate Data List.
Foot Switch
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch
connected to the rear panel FOOT SWITCH jack (page
15
) can be assigned to a range of parameters. This is
designed for switch-type (on/off) controls such as
incrementing/decrementing Voice or Multi numbers,
and cannot be used for continuous control of a
parameter. The default factory setting for this is to
control sustain (FSTxCtlNo = 64).
n See next section below for information on setting the
control number for the Foot Switch. For details about
Control Numbers and Control Change messages, refer to
page 73 and the separate Data List.
Using the Foot Switch to Advance Through Programs
When performing live, you can set up the Foot Switch
to change Voices or Multis with your feet, without
having to take your hands from the keyboard. For
example, if you arrange the Voices/Multis in memory
in consecutive order (as you’ll use them), you can
easily advance through them one-by-one by pressing
the Foot Switch while you perform. The following
instruction steps show you how to do this.

Voice Edit
The following procedure shows you the fundamentals in creating and editing Voices.
Of course, this is just one example; you are free to set any parameters in any way you like. Details about each
parameter are given in the Reference section of this manual (page 58).
n All parameter settings are stored along with the Voice itself.
1 Selecting a Voice to Edit
Enter the Voice Play mode by pressing a [VOICE]
button.
Select the Voice Number of the Voice you wish to edit
(page 29).
n When you’re creating a Voice by editing an existing one,
it helps to select a Voice with a sound that’s relatively
similar to the one you intend to create. In this way, you
can avoid having to make large changes and many
parameter edits — allowing you to create a Voice quickly
and easily. If you are creating a Voice from scratch, use
the convenient Initialize function (in the Voice Job
mode) to initialize a Voice in internal user memory. For
details, see page 48.
2 Entering the Voice Edit

Common Edit and Editing Individual
Elements
Voices can consist of up to four Elements (page 21). Use
Common Edit to edit the settings common to all four
Elements. The Voice Edit mode can be divided into screens
for Common Edit and those for editing each Element. In
the Voice Edit mode, simultaneously press both the [–] and
[+] buttons to switch between the Common Edit screens
and the screens for editing each Element.
Common Edit screens
Element Edit screens
n In the same manner as in the Voice edit mode, you
can also switch between the Common Edit screens
and the Part Edit screens in the Multi Edit mode.
Switching Elements (or Keys, Parts)
On/Off (Mute)
In Edit Mode, an Element can be switched on/off
temporarily when you press the [MUTE] button.
The Element indicator which is muted will flash.
This lets you mute other Elements in the Voice so
that you can listen to the changes to the Element
that you are editing.
n In the Multi mode (including the Play mode), in
the same manner as in the Voice Edit mode, Parts
can be switched on/off temporarily.
The Compare Function
Use this to listen to the difference between the
Voice/Multi with your edited settings and the same
Voice/Multi prior to editing.
1 Press the [COMPARE (EDIT)] button while in
Edit mode. The EDIT LED will flash and the
settings prior to editing will temporarily be
reinstated for comparison purposes.
n
While the Compare function is enabled, the [DEC/NO]
and [INC/YES] buttons cannot be used for editing.
2 Press the [EDIT] button again to disable the
Compare function and restore your recently
edited settings.
n The compare function is also available in the Multi
Edit mode.
n The Multi parameters that cannot be set from the
panel will be initialized when using the compare
function in the Multi Edit mode.
Switching Between Screens and Entering
Settings
After selecting a Common Edit screen or an edit
screen for an Element (1 to 4), press the [] and []
buttons to switch to other screens.
The S08 has a huge variety of available parameters.
As you change the display pages, an arrow mark on
the right side of the display points to the parameter
chart printed on the panel, indicating the parameter
type and what aspect of the instrument it’s related
to.
Use the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons to set
each parameter value.
Some parameters have multiple “pages,” indicated
by a special arrow mark (“”) in the top right of the

3 Set the Common
Parameters
Each Voice consists of up to four Elements. Here, the
parameters common to all Elements are explained.
GENERAL (Common General)
In PAGES 1 to 4, you can set the Voice Name, Voice
output settings and other general parameters.
CONTROLLER (Common Controller)
In PAGES 5 to 10, you can assign and set various
functions for the controllers on the front (such as
the Modulation and Pitch Bend Wheels) and the
controllers connectable to the rear panel. For
example, you can assign parameters to the
Modulation Wheel so that you can change the tone
of Voice in real time. For details about different
controller uses, see page 38.
EFFECT (Common Effect)
In PAGES 11 to 17, you can set the Effects
parameters for the Voice. There are System Effects
(Reverb and Chorus) and Variation Effects.
4 Set the Element
Parameters
n The Element settings whose Element Switch is set “off”
cannot be changed and “***” appears in the display.
Monitoring the Element for Editing
(Checking the Voice Structure and Muting)
Since Voices are made up of a maximum of four
Elements, you can better hear the edits you make by
setting only the Elements you are editing to sound.
Check how many Elements are used with the steps
below.
n You can also check the number of Elements
used by referring to the Voice List in the
separate Data List.
1 In the Voice Edit mode, press the [+] or [–]
button to switch to the Element Edit display.
2 Use the [ ] button to switch to the Element Sw
screen (PAGE 1).
3
Move the cursor to the desired Element by using
the [+]/[–] buttons. The voice being edited is made
up of the Elements which are indicated by “on.”
For example, you can check which Elements create
which specific sounds in the case of a Voice made up
of Elements 1 and 2 — following the steps below.
4 Move the cursor to Element 1 (E1) by using the
[–] button.
5 Press the [MUTE] button. E1 flashes and the
selected Element is muted. When you play a key,
only Element 2 will sound. Cancel mute by
pressing the [MUTE] button again.
6 Move the cursor to Element 2 (E2) by using the
[+] button.
7 Press the [MUTE] button. E2 flashes and the
selected Element is muted. When you play a key,
only Element 1 will sound. Cancel mute by
pressing the MUTE button again.
By performing the above operation, you can check
the sound of the specific Element you wish to edit,
and mute the other Elements so that you can clearly
hear the changes you make.
After you finish editing, cancel muting for all
Elements. Now, all the Element sounds (including
the one you edited) are mixed — letting you hear
how the changes you made affect the overall sound
of the Voice.
OSC/MIX (Oscillator/Mix)
In PAGES 1 to 6, you can set the various 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.
Element Sw (Element Switch)
Determines whether each Element sounds or not.
Wave Number
Select the Wave for each Element.
Level
Pan
Set the volume (output level) and stereo pan

NtLmt-L/H (Note Limit Low/High)
VelLmt-L/H (Velocity Limit Low/High)
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.

Voice Edit
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.
n In the Multi mode, similar settings can be assigned
for each Part.
PITCH
In PAGES 7 to 12, you can set the basic pitch
parameters for each Element. 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)
You can set four Rate parameters (which control how
fast the pitch changes from one Level to the next) and
five Level (pitch) parameters, which control the
change in pitch from the moment you press a note on
the keyboard to the moment at which the sound
stops. The Initial Level and Attack Rate settings
determines from what pitch the note starts when it is
played and the time it takes to reach the Attack Level
pitch setting. The Decay 1 and 2 Rates control how
long it takes for the pitch to reach the Decay 1 and 2
Levels, respectively. Finally, the Release Rate and
Release Level parameters determine the final pitch
that the sound goes to when a key is released and
how long it takes to reach that pitch. In the
illustration, the letters a - d indicate the respective
Rate (R) settings for Attack - Release. The greater
the value for each Rate, the faster the pitch goes to
the next set Level — in other words, the time it takes
for the pitch to change (between Level settings)
becomes shorter. Velocity Sensitivity and other
parameters can also be set if required.
FILTER
In PAGES 13 to 22, 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. The S08 employs
an LPF (low pass filter). Only frequencies below
this point are passed. In addition, you can set the
amount of Resonance (harmonic boost) applied to
the signal around the cutoff frequency. This is a
useful way of adding further character to the sound.
Cutoff
Resonance
n Filter is also provided in each Multi Part.
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’ll show you how the FEG works.
FEG (Filter Envelope Generator)
There are five Rate settings (controlling the speed of
changes to the sound) and five Level settings
(controlling the amount of filtering applied). As soon
as a note is played, the filter is fixed at the Initial Level
setting, and maintains that level for the length of time
set in Hold Rate. The degree to which the filter
changes after that is determined by the Attack Level
and Decay 1 and 2 Levels; the time it takes between
those changes is determined by the Attack Rate and
Decay 1 and 2 Rates. When the note is released, the
change in tone is determined by the Release Rate/Level
settings. In the illustration, the letters a - d indicate the
respective Rate (R) settings for Attack - Release. The
greater the value for each Rate, the faster the filter goes
to the next set Level — in other words, the time it
takes for the filter to change (between Level settings)
becomes shorter. Velocity Sensitivity and other
parameters can also be set if required.

AMP (Amplitude)
In PAGES 23 to 31, you can set the volume of each
Element after the OSC (Oscillator), PITCH and
FILTER parameters have been applied, as well as
the final overall volume of the signal sent to the
outputs.
The signal of each Element is sent at the specified
volume to the next Effect section.
Also, by setting the AEG (Amplitude Envelope
Generator), you can control how the volume
changes over time.
n
The final volume for all Elements is set in the Total
Vol (Total Volume) parameter, Common Edit PAGE 2.
Level (Volume) related Parameters
AEG (Amplitude Envelope Generator)
There are four Rate settings (which control how fast
the volume changes from one Level to the next) and
three Level settings (which control the actual
volume). When you play a key, the volume goes to
the Initial Level, at the speed set in Attack Rate.
From there it goes to the Decay and Sustain Levels,
at speeds set in Decay 1 and 2 Rates, respectively.
When the note is released, the volume goes down to
zero, at the speed set in Release Rate.
In the illustration below, the letters a - d indicate the
respective Rate (R) settings for Attack - Release.
The greater the value for each Rate, the faster the
filter goes to the next set Level — in other words, the
time it takes for the volume to change (between
Level settings) becomes shorter. Velocity Sensitivity
and other parameters can also be set if required.
Example of AEG Settings
About EG Rate and Time (Voice Mode)
The EG (Envelope Generator) processes and shapes
the output level of the tone generator from the
moment you press a key until the sound decays to
silence. The level (Y-axis in the illustrations below)
is a different aspect of the sound, depending on
which EG is being used. For the PEG, level
corresponds to Pitch. For the FEG, it corresponds to
the cutoff frequency. For the AEG, it corresponds to
the volume.
The behavior of the EG over time is controlled by
the Rate (R) parameters. Rate refers to the time it
takes to go from one level to the next (for example,
from the initial level to the attack level).
The illustrations below show how different Rate
settings affect the sound. To extend the time
between level changes and make it long, set the Rate
(R) to a small value.

Voice Edit
LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)
In PAGES 32 to 35, you can edit the LFO, which (as
its name suggests) produces 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.
However, the actual available LFO parameters will
vary according to the type of Element.
The LFO is capable of producing a wide variety of
effects in various ways. By modulating the pitch
over an adjustable amount, it creates vibrato. By
modulating the filter over an adjustable range of
frequencies, it creates wah-wah and dynamic filter
sweep effects. By modulating the volume (or
amplitude”) of the sound over an adjustable depth,
it creates tremolo.

Set the Effect Parameters
For an application example showing how to use the
effect, see page 46.
6 Storing Edited Voices
Up to 128 new/edited Normal Voices and 2 new/edited
Drum Voices can be stored to internal user memory.
When storing a Voice, any existing data at the storage
location will be lost. You should always back up
important data to computer or some other storage
medium beforehand.

Effects
Effects
In the final stages of programming, you can set the effects parameters to further change the sound’s character.
The S08 has two System Effect units (Reverb and Chorus) plus a Variation Effect unit (see below).
Different effects settings can be set per Voice (in the Voice mode) and per Multi (in the Multi mode), though the
connection between the Effect units will vary in each case.
Reverb
The Reverb block includes a selection of 17 different
reverb-type effects, including realistic simulations of
the natural reverberation found in various halls and
rooms. In the Multi mode, the Reverb settings will
apply to the Multi as a whole.
In the Voice mode, the Reverb Send parameter can be
set for each Voice.
Chorus
The Chorus block includes a selection of 17 chorus-
type effects, including a flanger and others. Most of
these effects are ideal for adding thickness to the
sound. In the Multi mode, the Chorus settings will
apply to the Multi as a whole. In the Voice mode, the
Chorus Send parameter can be set for each Voice.
Variation
A total of 54 different Effect types are available in the
Variation block. These range from conventional effects
such as Reverb, for enhancing the sound, to wilder
effects such as Distortion, for actively changing the
sound, or creating new sounds.
n For details about each Effect Type, refer to the Effect
Type List in the separate Data List.
System and Insertion Effects
The S08 effects units can be designated as either
System or Insertion effects. Reverb and Chorus are
always System effects, which means they can be
applied to any or all Parts. The Variation effect can
also be a System effect, or it can be designated as an
Insertion effect, which means it can be dedicated to
a specific Part.
Basically, S08 System and Insertion effects work the
same way as in a sound mixer, as shown in the
diagram on the next page. For example, System
effects can be applied to instruments (i.e., Parts)
which are connected to the various mixer channels;
the amount of each System effect is determined by
channel “send” and system “return” level controls.
An Insertion effect can be connected (“inserted”)
into the signal flow of a specific channel in order to
process the sound of that instrument (i.e., Voice/
Part) only.
In the Voice mode of the S08, the Insertion effect
(Variation) can be applied to a Voice, while in the
Multi Play mode it can only be applied to a single
Part.
The System and Insertion effect configurations can
be controlled in detail by XG song data (signified by
the XG mark) when the S08 is in the Multi Play
mode.
Example of Effect Settings
Here we’ll show an example of editing effect settings
in the Voice Edit mode (page 40). In this example,
we’ll change the variation effect setting of the Voice
OR: Cathedr1 (PR070) from HALL1 to GM
FLANGER (a jet-like sound).
1 Select the Voice Number of the Voice you wish to
edit (Here, OR: Cathedrl=PR070), then enter
the Voice Edit mode (pages 29 and 40).
2 Simultaneously press both the [–] and [+]
buttons to select the Common Edit display (page
41).
3 Use the [] and [] buttons to call up the VarEF
screen (displayed in the bottom line; PAGE 14).
4 Use the data dial to select “GM FLANGER,”
then play the keyboard. Try out other different
Effect Types, referring to the Effect Type List in
the separate Data List.
n You can listen to and compare the difference
between the edited Voice with your edited settings
and the same Voice prior to editing (page 41).
n In the effect parameter page (PAGE 15), you can
make various detailed parameter settings. For
information on the Effect Parameters, refer to the
separate Data List.
5 If you wish to save your new settings, store the
settings as a single Voice before you leave the
Voice Edit mode. For details about storing Voices,
see page 50.

Effects
Effects in Voice Mode
In the Voice mode, you can set the Effect Send
parameter for the Reverb and Chorus sections, and
store them with each Voice.
For the Variation Effect, the Effect Type and the
various effect parameters can be set, as well as the
effect on/off setting for each Voice. The signals that
are processed by the Variation block are mixed and sent
to the Reverb and Chorus sections.
n Drum Voices in Voice mode have no Variation effect.
n System effects can be bypassed in theVoice mode
(UTILITY PAGE14)
Effects in Multi Mode
You can set the desired Effect type for each Effect
section as well as its parameter values for each Multi in
the Multi mode. By using Variation as an Insertion
effect, you can apply the effect to only one of the Parts
(see illustration below).
As shown in the illustration below, the Reverb section
and Chorus section function as System effects, which
process all of the Parts, according to each Part’s effect
send setting and the global effect return setting — just
like on an actual mixer. When using Variation as an
Insertion effect, the signal connection is serial, and the
effect is applied only to the selected Part — just like
patching in an outboard effect on a single instrument
channel.

Using the Memory Card
Using the Memory Card
In the Card mode, you can use a Memory Card
(commercially available SmartMedia™ cards) for saving
and loading data from/to the instrument, as well as
perform other data-exchange operations. With 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.
n Never attempt to remove/insert the Memory Card in the
SEQ PLAY mode.
n Only files from the highest directory of the Memory Card
can be accessed.
n The Card mode cannot be entered unless a Memory Card
has been properly inserted into the Card slot.
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 seven types of Memory Cards: 2MB/4MB/
8MB/16MB/32MB/64MB/128MB.
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:
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.
* This includes saving, loading, formatting and
deleting. 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.
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 or not, beforehand.
n 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 a metal object,
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. 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.

Touch Sensitivity
Touch Sensitivity
Six different types of keyboard sensitivity can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences.
1 Press the [CONTROLLER] button to enter the Controller mode.
2 Use the [ ] and [ ] buttons to select the Fixed Vel screen (PAGE 6), then press the [DEC/NO] button to select
“off.”
n When you play the keyboard at the same volume, enter the value of the velocity (volume). In this case, the step below is not
necessary.
3 Use the [ ] button to select the Vel Curve screen (PAGE 5), then press the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons to
select the desired setting (see below).
4 Press the [EXIT] button to exit from the Controller mode.
norm (Normal)
The velocity is in proportion to
playing strength (how hard you
play the keyboard).
soft1
This curve provides increased
response, especially for lower
velocities. In other words, playing
softly results in higher response
than the “norm” curve. Use this
curve if you want greater control
in the low velocity range.
soft2
This curve provides increased
response, especially for lower
velocities. In other words, playing
softly results in higher response
than the “norm” curve. Use this
curve if you want greater control
in the low velocity range; the
response is between Soft1 and
Normal.
easy
This curve is also designed to
increase the volume level with a
softer playing style. However, the
volume level is stable in all
registers since the velocity curve in
the mid range is close to Normal.
wide
This setting provides opposite
response curves for lower and
higher velocities. It widens the
apparent dynamic range of the
controller, producing less sound
change in the softer range and
more change in the higher range.
hard
This curve effectively lessens the
overall response compared to the
“norm” curve. Use this curve if
you tend to play strongly and want
the sound change to be less
sensitive.

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 -64 at BP1 (set to note E1),
+10 at BP2 (set to note B2), +17 at BP3
(set to note G4) and +60 at BP4 (set to
A5). That is, the Cutoff frequencies at each
Break Point are 0, 74, 81 and 124,
respectively. For other notes, the Cutoff
frequencies will be on the straight line
connecting the two adjacent Break Points.
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
BP1Level. A note set above BP4 will
become the BP4 Level.
The availability of the FEG Scaling
parameter depends on the Break Point and
Offset settings in the Flt BP/Flt Ofs
PAGES.

When the FltSclSns is set to 0, Filter
Scaling Settings (PAGES 15, 16, 17) will be

Level (Amplitude) Scaling Settings
By way of example, you could set the
Levels (Offsets) and Break Points (BP1 to
4) as follows.
Here, the current amplitude is 80. 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 amplitudes at each Break Point are
76, 90, 97 and 84, respectively. For other
notes, the amplitudes will be on the
straight line connecting the two adjacent
Break Points.
The Break Point Levels are Offsets used to
increase or decrease the current amplitude
at the specified notes. Regardless of the
size of these Offsets, the minimum and
maximum amplitude limits (values of 0
and 127, respectively) cannot be exceeded.
The availability of the AEG Scaling
parameter depends on the Break Point and
Offset settings in the Lvl BP/Lvl Ofs
PAGES.

A note set below the BP1 will become the

The LFO is used to generate low frequency
signals and can be used to create vibrato,
wah, tremolo and other effects when
applied to pitch/filter/amplitude/etc.
parameters. For example, it can be applied
simultaneously to both pitch and filter, or
to specific parameters of individual
Elements.
The following three LFO waveforms are
available.
Saw (Sawtooth Wave)
Tri (trianglular Wave)
S&H (Sample & Hold)
S&H = Adds random changes to the pitch.
Tri(Triangle) waves will be applied for the
LFO AMod and LFO FMod. Triangle wave
is applied even if you select S&H for LFO
PMod, when controlling the LFO PMod
with the Modulation Wheel.

To apply the Key Assign setting in Multi
Mode, you need to set the SAME NOTE
NUMBER KEY ASSIGN in the Multi Part
to “INST (for Drum).” This cannot be set
from the panel of S08; however it can be
set by transmitting appropriate MIDI
messages from an external Device. For
details, refer to the table 1-5 in the separate
Data List.
*18
This determines the Attack Rate (speed) of
the EG(Envelope Generator), or how long
it takes for the sound of the selected drum
sound to reach full volume when a note is
played. Depending on the sound and the
Attack Rate set, some sounds may decay
before the EG has a chance to bring the
sound up. In other words, setting this
value too low (slow attack) may result in
an unnatural sound or no sound at all.
Higher values result in a shorter Attack
Time.
This determines the Decay 1 Rate (speed)
the EG, or how rapidly the sound dies
down to the next Decay level. Higher
values result in a shorter Decay time.
This determines the Decay 2 Rate (speed)
of the EG, or how rapidly the sound dies
out completely. Higher values result in a
shorter Decay time.

About MIDI
Appendix
About MIDI
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical
instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program
Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages.
The S08 can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various types of controller data. The S08
can be controlled by the incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine tone generator mode, select MIDI
channels, voices and effects, change parameter values, and of course play the voices specified for the various Parts.
Many MIDI messages are expressed in hexadecimal or
binary numbers. Hexadecimal numbers may include
the letter “H” as a suffix. The letter “n” indicates a
certain whole number.
The chart below lists the corresponding decimal
number for each hexadecimal/binary number.
MIDI channels
MIDI performance data is assigned to one of sixteen
MIDI channels. Using these channels, 1 - 16, the
performance data for sixteen different instrument
parts can be simultaneously sent over one MIDI cable.
Think of the MIDI channels as TV channels. Each TV
station transmits its broadcasts over a specific channel.
Your home TV set receives many different programs
simultaneously from several TV stations and you select
the appropriate channel to watch the desired program.
MIDI operates on the same basic principle.
The transmitting instrument sends MIDI data on a
specific MIDI channel (MIDI Transmit Channel) via a
single MIDI cable to the receiving instrument. If the
receiving instrument’s MIDI channel (MIDI Receive
Channel) matches the Transmit Channel, the receiving
instrument will sound according to the data sent by the
transmitting instrument.
The S08 is a fully multi-timbral tone generator,
allowing you to sound several different instrument
parts simultaneously — from just the S08 — by
assigning a different MIDI channel to each part.

About MIDI
MIDI Messages Transmitted/
Received by the S08
MIDI messages can be divided into two groups:
Channel messages and System messages. Below is an
explanation of the various types of MIDI messages
which the S08 can receive/transmit.
CHANNEL MESSAGES
Channel messages are the data related to the
performance on the keyboard for the specific channel.
Note On/Note Off (Key On/Key Off)
Messages which are generated when the keyboard is
played.
Reception note range = C-2 (0) - G8 (127), C3 = 60
Velocity range = 1 - 127 (Only the Note On velocity is
received)
Note On: Generated when a key is pressed.
Note Off: Generated when a key is released.
Each message includes a specific note number which
corresponds to the key which is pressed, plus a velocity
value based on how hard the key is struck.
Control Change
Control Change messages let you select a voice bank,
control volume, panning, modulation, portamento time,
brightness and various other controller parameters,
through specific Control Change numbers which
correspond to each of the various parameters.
Bank Select MSB (Control #000)
Bank Select LSB (Control #032)
Messages which select variation voice bank numbers by
combining and sending the MSB and LSB from an
external device.
MSB and LSB functions differently depending on the
tone generator mode.
MSB numbers select voice type (Normal Voice or Drum
Voice), and LSB numbers select voice banks.
(For more information about Banks and Programs, see
Voice List in the “Data List” book.)
A new bank selection will not become effective until the
next Program Change message is received.
Modulation (Control #001)
Messages which control vibrato depth using the
Modulation Wheel.
Setting the value to 127 produces maximum vibrato and 0
results in vibrato off.
Portamento Time (Control #005)
Messages which control the duration of portamento, or a
continuous pitch glide between successively played notes.
When the parameter Portamento Switch (Control #065)
is set to on, the value set here can adjust the speed of
pitch change.
Setting the value to 127 produces maximum portamento
time and 0 results in minimum portamento time.
Data Entry MSB (Control #006)
Data Entry LSB (Control #038)
Messages which set the value for the parameter specified
by RPN MSB/LSB (page 75) and NRPN MSB/LSB (page
74).
Parameter value is determined by combining MSB and
LSB.
Main Volume (Control #007)
Messages which control the volume of each Part.
Setting the value to 127 produces maximum volume and
0 results in volume off.
Pan (Control #010)
Messages which control the stereo panning position of
each Part (for stereo output).
Setting the value to 127 positions the sound to the far
right and 0 positions the sound to the far left.
Expression (Control #011)
Messages which control intonation expression of each
Part during performance.
Setting the value to 127 produces maximum volume and
0 results in volume off.
Hold1 (Control #064)
Messages which control sustain on/off.
Setting the value between 64 - 127 turns the sustain on,
between 0 - 63 turns the sustain off.
Portamento Switch (Control #065)
Messages which control portamento on/off.
Setting the value between 64 -127 turns the portamento
on, between 0 - 63 turns the portamento off.
Sostenuto (Control #066)
Messages which control sostenuto on/off.
Holding specific notes and then pressing and holding the
sostenuto pedal will sustain those notes as you play
subsequent notes, until the pedal is released.
Setting the value between 64 -127 turns the sostenuto on,
between 0 - 63 turns the sostenuto off.
Soft Pedal (Control #067)
Messages which control soft pedal on/off.
Notes played while holding the soft pedal will be
dampened.
Setting the value between 64 -127 turns the soft pedal on,
between 0 - 63 turns the soft pedal off.
Harmonic Content (Control #071)
Messages which adjust the filter resonance set for each
Part.
The value set here is an offset value which will be added
to or subtracted from the voice data.
Higher values will result in a more characteristic,
resonant sound.
Depending on the voice, the effective range may be
narrower than the range available for adjustment.
Basics Section Quick Guide Reference Appendix
74
About MIDI
Release Time (Control #072)
Messages which adjust the AEG release time set for each
Part.
The value set here is an offset value which will be added
to or subtracted from the voice data.
Attack Time (Control #073)
Messages which adjust the AEG attack time set for each
Part.
The value set here is an offset value which will be added
to or subtracted from the voice data.
Brightness (Control #074)
Messages which adjust the filter cutoff frequency set for
each Part.
The value set here is an offset value which will be added
to or subtracted from the voice data.
Lower values will result in a softer sound.
Depending on the voice, the effective range may be
narrower than the range available for adjustment.
Decay Time (Control #075)
Messages which adjust the AEG decay time set for each
Part. The value set here is an offset value which will be
added to or subtracted from the voice data.
Vibrato Rate (Control #076)
Messages which adjust the vibrato rate set for each Part.
The value set here is an offset value which will be added
to or subtracted from the voice data.
Vibrato Depth (Control #077)
Messages which adjust the vibrato depth set for each Part.
The value set here is an offset value which will be added
to or subtracted from the voice data.
Vibrato Delay Time (Control #078)
Messages which adjust the vibrato delay time set for each
Part. The value set here is an offset value which will be
added to or subtracted from the voice data.
Portamento Control (Control #084)
Messages which apply a portamento between the
currently-sounding note and the subsequent note.
Portamento Control is transmitted specifying the note-on
key of the currently-sounding note.
Specify a Portamento Source Key number between 0 - 127.
When a Portamento Control message is received, the
currently sounding pitch will change with a Portamento
Time of 0 to the next note-on key on the same channel.
For example, the following settings would apply a
portamento from note C3 to C4.
90H 3CH 7FH ......... C3 Note on
B0H 54H 3CH......... Source key number set to C3
90H 48H 7FH.......... C4 Note on (When C4 is on, C3 is
raised by a portamento to C4.)
Effect1 Depth (Reverb Send Level)
(Control #091)
Messages which adjust the send level for the Reverb effect.
Effect3 Depth (Chorus Send Level)
(Control #093)
Messages which adjust the send level for the Chorus effect.
Effect4 Depth (Variation Effect Send Level)
(Control #094)
Messages which adjust the send level for the Variation
effect.
If Variation effect uses System effect, this message sets
the send level for the Variation effect. If it uses Insertion
effect, this setting is invalid.
Data Increment (Control #096)
Decrement (Control #097) for RPN
Messages which increase or decrease the MSB value of
pitch bend sensitivity, fine tune, or coarse tune in steps of
1. You are required to assign one of those parameters
using the RPN in the external device in advance.
The data byte is ignored.
When the maximum value or minimum value is reached,
the value will not be incremented or decremented further.
(Incrementing the fine tune will not cause the coarse
tune to be incremented.)
NRPN (Non-Registered Parameter Number)
LSB (Control #098)
NRPN (Non-Registered Parameter Number)
MSB (Control #099)
Messages which adjust a voice’s vibrato, filter, EG, drum
setup or other parameter settings.
First send the NRPN MSB and NRPN LSB to specify the
parameter which is to be controlled. Then use Data Entry
(page 73) to set the value of the specified parameter.
Note that once the NRPN has been set for a channel,
subsequent data entry will be recognized as the same
NRPN’s value change. Therefore, after you use the
NRPN, you should set a Null (7FH, 7FH) value to avoid
an unexpected result.
The following NRPN numbers can be received.

RPN (Registered Parameter Number) LSB
(Control #100)
RPN (Registered Parameter Number) MSB
(Control #101)
Messages which offset, or add or subtract values from a
Part’s pitch bend sensitivity, tuning, or other parameter
settings.
First send the RPN MSB and RPN LSB to specify the
parameter which is to be controlled. Then use Data
Increment/Decrement (page 74) to set the value of the
specified parameter.
Note that once the RPN has been set for a channel,
subsequent data entry will be recognized as the same
RPN’s value change. Therefore after you use the RPN,
you should set a Null (7FH, 7FH) value to avoid an
unexpected result.
The following RPN numbers can be received.
Channel Mode Messages
The following Channel Mode Messages can be received.
All Sounds Off (Control #120)
Clears all sounds currently sounding on the specified
channel. However, the status of channel messages such as
Note On and Hold On is maintained.
Reset All Controllers (Control #121)
The values of the following controllers will be reset to the
defaults.
All Notes Off (Control #123)
Clears all notes currently on for the specified channel.
However, if Hold1 or Sostenuto is on, notes will continue
sounding until these are turned off.
Mono (Control #126)
Performs the same function as when an All Sounds Off
message is received, and if the 3rd byte (mono number) is
in the range of 0 - 16, sets the corresponding channel to
Mono Mode (Mode 4 : m = 1).
Poly (Control #127)
Performs the same function as when an All Sounds Off
message is received, and sets the corresponding channel
to Poly Mode.
Program Change
Messages which determine which voice to select for each
Part. With a combination of Bank Select, you can select
not only basic voice numbers, but also variation voice
bank numbers.
Pitch Bend
Pitch Bend messages are continuous controller messages
that allow the pitch of designated notes to be raised or
lowered by a specified amount over a specified duration.
Channel Aftertouch
Messages which let you control the sounds by the
pressure you apply to the keys after the initial striking of
the keys, over the entire channel.
The S08 does not transmit this data from the keyboard;
however, the S08 does properly respond to this data when
received from an external device.
Polyphonic Aftertouch
Messages which let you control the sounds by the
pressure you apply to the keys after the initial striking of
the keys, for each individual key.
The S08 does not transmit this data from the keyboard;
however, the S08 does properly respond to this data when
received from an external device.

SYSTEM MESSAGES
System messages are the data related to the overall
system of the device.
System Exclusive Messages
System Exclusive messages control various functions of
the S08, including master volume and master tuning,
tone generator mode, effect type and various other
parameters.
General MIDI (GM) System On
When “General MIDI system on” is received, the tone
generator mode will be changed to XG (Multi) mode.
When this happens, the S08 will receive the MIDI
messages which are compatible with GM System Level 1,
and consequently will not receive NRPN and Bank Select
messages.
F0 7E 7F 09 01 F7 (Hexadecimal)
n Make sure that the interval between this message and
the first note data of the song is at least a quarter note
or greater in length.
GM2 System On
When a “GM2 System on” message is received, the tone
generator mode changes to XG (Multi) mode. When this
happens, the S08 is set to receive the MIDI messages
which are compatible with GM System Level 2.
F0 7E 7F 09 03 F7 (Hexadecimal)
n Make sure that the interval between this message and
the first note data of the song is at least a quarter note
or greater in length.
GM System Off
When a “GM System off” message is received, the tone
generator mode changes to a mode other than GM/GM2
mode. The S08 performs the same function as when an
“XG System on” message is received.
F0 7E 7F 09 02 F7 (Hexadecimal)
n Make sure that the interval between this message and
the first note data of the song is at least a quarter note
or greater in length.
Master Volume
When received, the Volume MSB will be effective for the
System Parameter.
F0 7F 7F 04 01 ll mm F7 (Hexadecimal)
* mm(MSB) = appropriate volume value, ll(LSB) =
ignored
XG System On
When this data is received, the S08 will switch to XG
(Multi) mode and all the parameters will be initialized
accordingly, and XG-compatible messages such as NRPN
and Bank Select messages can be received.
F0 43 1n 4C 00 00 7E 00 F7 (Hexadecimal)
*n = device number (normally set to “0”)
n Make sure that the interval between this message and
the first note data of the song is at least a quarter note
or greater in length.
Multi Mode On
F0 43 1n 6C 0A 00 00 01 F7 (Hexadecimal)
*n = device number (normally set to “0”)
n There are some operating conditions in which the
S08 does not respond to MIDI data, such as when
using the Compare function or when in the Demo
mode.
System Realtime Messages
Active Sensing (Receive only)
Once FEH (Active Sensing) has been received, if no MIDI
data is subsequently received for longer than an interval
of approximately 300msec, the S08 will perform the same
function as when All Sounds Off, All Notes Off, and
Reset All Controllers messages are received, and will then
return to a status in which FEH is not monitored.
n Refer to the MIDI Data Format in the “Data List” book
for more information on the various messages.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
The following table provides troubleshooting hints and page references for some common problems. Most problems
may be simply the result of incorrect settings. Before calling for professional service, refer to the troubleshooting
advice below to see if you can find and correct the cause of the problem.
In particular, when you have trouble getting sound out of the S08, check the points below as you try to pinpoint the
cause of the trouble.
1 Connect a set of headphones to check whether the S08 is properly producing sound. If you can hear the sound in the
headphones but not from your connected audio system, you can assume that the problem is in the cable connections to
the audio system.
2 If no sound can be heard through the headphones, try selecting different Voices or Multis to see whether the problem
persists or not. If selecting another Voice or Multi clears up the problem, you can assume that the settings of the
original Voice or Multi were at fault.
n When song data settings, such as volume or expression (page 73) cause a decrease in volume, selecting a different Voice or Multi
will restore the volume.
3 If the problem still persists even after changing the Voice or Multi, check the master volume setting of the S08. Increase
the volume with the VOLUME slider and, if a foot controller is connected, press it down to the maximum.
4 If still no sound is output after step 3 above, the problem may be in the global settings of the S08 (UTILITY/
CONTROLLER), the settings of any connected MIDI device, and/or the connecting MIDI cable.
No sound.
Relevant Volume Settings
Is the volume set appropriately? (Pages 11 and 12)
With the S08, if a Foot Controller has been connected to the FOOT CONTROLLER jack and set up for volume/
expression control, has it been fully depressed? (Page 15)
Relevant Voice and Multi Settings
Have the Volume or Level parameters below been set appropriately?
Voice Element Edit “Level” (Page 59)
Voice Key Edit “Level” (Page 62)
Voice Common Edit “Total Vol” (Page 58)
Voice Common Edit “Total Lvl” (Page 58)
Multi Part Edit “Volume” (Page 64)
Multi Common Edit “Total Vol” (Page 63)
Are any of the Parts or Elements muted? (Page 41)
Has the “Element Sw” been set to off? (Page 59)
Have the filters been set so that almost all the sound is muted? (Pages 60, 62, 64)
Have the effects parameters been set appropriately? (Pages 59, 63)
Has the effect type been set to something other than “No Effect”? (Page 63)
Have the Velocity Sensitivity parameters been set appropriately? (Pages 58 and 64)
Have the Note Limit (Part/Voice) and Velocity Limit parameters been set appropriately? (Pages 59 and 64)
If Note/Velocity Limit Low is set to a value above Note/Velocity Limit High, no sound is output.
Relevant Global Settings of the S08 (UTILITY)
Have the MIDI receive channels been set correctly? (Pages 64)
Has the Local switch been set to off? (Page 67)
Has the Hose Select parameter in Utility mode been set appropriately? (Pages 13 to 15)
Is either the Demo mode (page 16) or the Compare function (page 41) active? When either of these are active, incoming
MIDI data is ignored.

Troubleshooting
Relevant Settings in the Song Data and on Connected MIDI Devices

Troubleshooting
Checking the MIDI Cable
Here’s a quick way to check a MIDI cable, to make sure it’s properly conducting signals.
n Before starting this, set the S08 to Voice mode and make sure that the S08 is properly outputting sound when you play the
keyboard.
1 Disable keyboard control over the tone generator by setting Local Sw (PAGE 12 in the Utility mode) to “off.” In
this condition, playing the keyboard does not produce any sound. (page 67)
2 Directly connect the MIDI cable in question — one end to the MIDI IN terminal of the S08, the other to the MIDI
OUT. This sets up an external MIDI “loop,” routing the keyboard of the S08 to its tone generator, by way of the
MIDI cable (and not by Local Switch).
3 Set the Host Select parameter in Utility mode to “MIDI.” (PAGE 13)
4 Set the Receive Channel parameter (PAGE 3 in the Utility mode) to “omni” (all channels). This allows the Voice
to respond to the incoming MIDI data, regardless of the MIDI Transmit Channel setting for the keyboard.
5 Play the keyboard. If you’ve made all the above settings correctly and you hear the Voice, the MIDI cable is intact.
n Keep in mind that the cable or connections could still be faulty, even if you hear sound — especially if the sound is
intermittent or cuts in and out.
n After conducting this check, make sure to reset the Local Sw (PAGE 12 in the Utility mode) to “on,” if necessary. If you
leave this set to “off,” the S08 keyboard will not control its own sounds.
Cannot play back or stop a song even by pressing the [PLAY/STOP]
button.
Is a song of SMF (Standard MIDI File) format 0 assigned to the chain step? (Page 51)
Does the SMF (Standard MIDI File) song assigned to the chain step have the extension “.MID”? (Page 51)
Has the Sync parameter been set to “MIDI”? (Page 66) Normally, make sure that Sync is set to “Int,” except when
using the S08 as a MIDI “slave” in synchronization with other devices.
Is the Sequence Play mode active? If the S08 is set to anything other than Sequence Play mode, the [PLAY/STOP]
button functions as the [STORE] button.
Playback of a song file sometimes stops temporarily.
When a song on Memory Card is played back, the reading of data from the card and playback of the song is done
simultaneously. If the amount of song data is too great, playback may lag somewhat behind reading of the data. If this
is the case, delete unnecessary data from the tracks of the file on your sequencer software or set the playback tempo
slightly slower than normal.
Memory Card files cannot be loaded/saved/imported.
Are you trying to load files from subdirectories on the Memory Card? The S08 can only handle root directory files.
Does the root directory of the Memory Card contain more than 100 files? Memory Cards for the S08 can handle up to
100 files for each of the following: All File (file types handled by Save/Load), All Voice File (file types handled by the
Voice Editor for S08) and SMFs.
When importing a file with the Macintosh Voice Editor for S08, enter an “.S6V” extension to the file name on the
computer, then save it to the Memory Card.
Memory Card files cannot be renamed/deleted.
Only file types of the All File (file types handled by Save/Load) designation can be used with the Rename/Delete
functions. All Voice File (file types handled by the Voice Editor for S08) and SMFs cannot be renamed/deleted.

Troubleshooting
Files cannot be transferred using the Card Filer.
The maximum usable capacity of a Memory Card is 128 MB. Make sure to use Memory Cards of a capacity of 128 MB
or less.
The access speed of your particular computer to the memory device may be affecting file transfer. If this is the case, you
may be able to remedy the situation by performing one or more of the operations below:
n Make sure to check the website for the maker of the hard disk for details on updating the driver.
• Use the Defragmentation function in the System Tools to defragment the hard disk.
• Update the driver for the hard disk to a high-speed driver.
• Set the hard disk to a high-speed mode, such as by enabling DMA.
For Windows 98/98SE/Me:
Control Panel System Device Manager Disk drives or Hard disk controllers
For Windows 2000/XP:
Control Panel System Hardware Device Manager
When using the Card Filer with the S08 connected via USB to the computer, make sure the S08 is properly conncted to
the computer with a USB cable, and set the Thru On/Off setting of the MIDI-USB Driver to “Off,” by the method
described below:
For Windows 98/98SE/Me:
From the Control panel, select MIDI-USB Driver, then set the Thru On/Off check box to Off (no checkmark).
For Macintosh:
From the System folder, select Control Panels, then from Yamaha USB MIDI Patch, set the Thru On/Off check box to
off (no checkmark).
There are some occasions when the Card Filer cannot be used to create directories (folders) on the Memory Card. The
S08 can handle only files in the highest directory (root directory). Please do not use the create directory (folder)
function of the Card Filer.
The voice name set from the S08 does not display correctly on the
Voice Editor for S08.
Among the valid characters used for naming voices on the S08, the charcters “” and “” cannot be displayed by the
Voice Editor for S08. When using the Voice Editor for S08, avoid using these characters for naming voices from the
S08.
The computer hangs up or freezes when using USB.
Disconnecting/connecting the USB cable or turning the power off/on may cause the computer operation to hang-up,or
may stop the S08 from functioning properly. Be careful NOT to disrupt the USB connection or turn the power on/off in
the following operating conditions.
• While the S08 is recognizing the device or while loading the driver.
• While starting or shutting down the operating system.
• While computer operation is suspended (with power management controls such as sleep or hibernation).
• While a MIDI application is starting.
The computer may also hang up and/or the S08’s functions may stop if you do the following:
• Turn the power on/off, or connect/disconnect the cable too often.
• Enter the sleep mode while trasmitting the MIDI data, and resume operation.
• Disconnect/connect the cable while the S08 is on.
• Turn the S08 on/off, start the computer, or install driver software while a huge amount of data is being transferred.
