PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or

modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If

it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have

it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet con-

ditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any

openings.

• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a

sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells

or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power

switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument

inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Use the specified adaptor (PA-5C or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha)

only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or over-

heating.

• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the out-

let. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may

have accumulated on it.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the

instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radi-

ators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy

objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over,

or roll anything over it.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold

the plug itself and not the cord.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-con-

nector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause over-

heating in the outlet.

• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during elec-

trical storms.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the

power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all compo-

nents, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of

all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume con-

trols while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold

or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to

prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal com-

ponents.

• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions,

radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect prop-

er operation of the other products.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might acciden-

tally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,

solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do

not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might

discolor the panel or keyboard.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do

not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or

rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to

the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncom-

fortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you

experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

■ REPLACING THE BACKUP BATTERY

• This instrument contains a non rechargeable internal backup battery which

permits internal data to remain stored even when the power is off. When the

backup battery needs replacing, the message "Change internal battery" will

display in the LCD. When this happens, immediately back up your data, then

have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery.

• Do not attempt to replace the backup battery yourself, in order to prevent the

possible serious hazards. Always have qualified Yamaha service personnel

replace the backup battery.

• Never place the backup battery in a location that a child can reach, since a

child might accidentally swallow the battery. If this should happen, consult a

physician immediately.

■ SAVING USER DATA

• Always save data to a Memory Card (SmartMedia) frequently, in order to help

prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating

error.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use

or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock,

short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha S30 Music Synthesizer.

Your new S30 synthesizer incorporates the highly-acclaimed AWM2 synthesis engine, allowing the

creation of super-realistic sounds. It supports optional Plug-in Boards that provide other synthesis

engines of your choice, enabling the production of cutting edge synthesizer sounds.

You can play all these sounds using the synthesizer’s automatic playback facilities such as the built-in

Arpeggiator and Sequencer. The Quick Access feature lets you access various genres of sounds

quickly and directly via the front panel.

Other features include Effects and Control Sets (for controlling various sound parameters in real time

using different controllers.) These features make this synthesizer ideal for every kind of live

performance or studio work.

When editing a sound, you can use the [PAGE] knob to switch between screens and five other knobs

plus the [DATA] knob for changing parameter values. This makes the process of editing sounds much

easier and smoother. To make the most use of your synthesizer, you are encouraged to read through

this manual. After reading the manual, please keep it in a convenient and safe place for future

reference.

Before Use

This section explains how to connect to an AC power source, audio and MIDI devices, and a computer

system. Only switch the synthesizer on after you have made all the necessary connections.

It is recommended that you read this section before using the synthesizer.

Power Supply

1Make sure that the instrument’s STANDBY/ON switch is at the STANDBY(off) position.

2Connect the PA-5C’s DC plug to the S30’s DC IN terminal on the instrument’s rear panel.

3Connect 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 S30, and may even pose a serious shock

hazard! ALWAYS UNPLUG THE AC ADAPTOR FROM THE AC POWER OUTLET WHEN THE S30 IS NOT

IN USE.

Connections

Connecting to External Audio Equipment

Since the synthesizer 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 instrument’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.

When using just one powered speaker, connect it to the OUTPUT L/MONO jack on the rear panel.

Controlling Another MIDI Device via MIDI THRU

With the above MIDI connections, you can send MIDI data from the MIDI OUT connector while

MIDI data from the external sequencer can be sent to an external MIDI synthesizer via the MIDI

THRU jack.

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

When a computer is connected, it can be used to control the synthesizer and to transfer synthesizer

data to/from computer via MIDI. With the included Voice Editor program, for instance, you can edit

the synthesizer’s Voices. Using another program – Card Filer – you can transfer files between the

computer and the Memory Card inserted in the synthesizer’s CARD slot.

There are two ways to connect your synthesizer to a computer:

1: Serial connection (the computer’s serial port to the synthesizer’s TO HOST terminal)

2: MIDI connection (the computer’s MIDI interface or external MIDI interface to the

synthesizer’s MIDI IN and OUT)

Different computers require different connections, as follows.

Powering Up

Power-on Procedure

When you have made all the necessary connections between your synthesizer and any other devices,

make sure that all volume settings are turned down all the way to zero. Then turn on the every device

in your setup in the order of MIDI masters (senders), MIDI slaves (receivers), then audio equipment

(mixers, amplifiers, speakers, etc.). This ensures the smooth flow of signals from the first device to the

last (first MIDI, then audio).

Switching the S30 On

In order to avoid possible damage to the speakers or other connected electronic equipment, always switch on the

power of the S30 before switching on the power of the amplified speakers or mixer and amplifier. Likewise,

always switch off the power of the S30 after switching off the power of the amplified speakers or mixer and

amplifier.

Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at a minimum

level. When not using the S30 for an extended period of time, be sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the

wall AC outlet.

Before you switch your synthesizer on or off, first turn down the volume of any audio equipment connected to it.

Section

If you have a Memory Card inserted in the instrument’s CARD slot or an optional Plug-in Board

installed, you may see other screens before the Voice or Performance Play Mode screen is displayed.

If a previously used Memory Card is inserted in the CARD slot, you will see a screen while files in

EXT Memory are being loaded.

If a new Memory Card (one never used on the instrument) is inserted in the CARD slot, you will see

a screen while a basic file is being created in EXT Memory.

If you have a Plug-in Board installed, you will see a screen that confirms the presence of the Plug-in

Board.

The final screen after the power-on sequence may change depending on the Power On Mode setting available

Utility Mode (Page 128).

4Turn up the amplifier’s volume as necessary.

5Adjust the synthesizer’s [VOLUME] slider to set an appropriate volume level.

About Memory Cards

You can save various kinds of data - Voice, Performance, Plug-in, Sequence Chain and so on - onto

Memory Card. The built-in CARD slot can accept 3.3-volt Memory Cards (SmartMedia).

Before using a Memory Card, read through precautions on how to handle it (Page 135).

• Formatting a Memory Card

You cannot use a new Memory Card to save files immediately. The card must be formatted in Card

Mode (Page 140) beforehand.

• Saving and Loading Data

You can save various kinds of data as files on a formatted Memory Card. Each file on the card can be

loaded when required.

You can save and load data such as System, Voice, Performance, Plug-in, Sequence Chain or the like.

Since Sequence Chain data is held temporarily in the synthesizer’s buffer memory and will be lost

once you switch it off, you need to save such data onto the Memory Card first.

Details about formatting a Memory Card, saving and loading data, and the recognized file types are

given on Page 136.

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, on-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.

An Overview of the S30

In this section, an overview of the many features of the S30 is given.

The S30 hardware is made up of a number of sections, as shown in the following diagram.

Controller Section

This section consists of the keyboard, Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels, Control Sliders, Assignable

knobs and so on. The keyboard itself doesn’t generate sounds, but instead sends note, velocity and

other information to the synthesizer’s tone generator section when you plays notes. The controllers

also send changes. Information from the keyboard and controllers can be transmitted to other

external MIDI devices through the MIDI OUT connector.

Sequencer Section

This section can be used to play back Standard MIDI Files held on Memory Card. The contents of

Tracks 1 to 16 correspond to MIDI channels and Parts in a Performance as shown in the following

illustration. The sequencer can play back songs with a different Voice assigned to each Part.

The tone generator section in the S30 consists of AWM2 and Plug-in units.

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.

AWM2 is not just limited to general musical instruments (Normal Voices). It can also be used for setting up

percussive instruments (Drum Voices). Details about Normal and Drum Voices are given on Page 32.

Plug-in Boards add more features to the system. When installed, they combine perfectly with the

synthesizer’s built-in tone generator section.

The following types of Plug-in Board are available, and can be in the synthesizer. These boards are

not simply a source of more Voices; they are also tone generators in their own right and extend the

system-level specifications such as maximum polyphony. You can play Plug-in Voices just like ordinary

internal Voices and use them as Parts in a Performance (Page 93).

This synthesizer is compatible with the Modular Synthesis Plug-in System (see next page). There are

three types of Modular Synthesis Plug-in System-compatible Plug-in Boards: Single Part, Multi-Part

and Effect Plug-in Board. By adding one of the following types of Plug-in Boards to your S30, you can

build your own system based on the sounds you require.

The PLG100-VH Effect Plug-in Board cannot be used with the S30.

Single Part Plug-in Boards

• Analog Physical Modeling Plug-in Board (PLG150-AN)

Using Analog Physical Modeling (AN) synthesis, the very latest digital technology is used to

accurately reproduce the sound of analog synthesizers. With this board installed, you have real-

time control over the playback of vintage synthesizer sounds as well as the very latest sounds heard

in today’s club-oriented music.

• Piano Plug-in Board (PLG150-PF)

A massive 16MB of waveform memory is dedicated to the reproduction of piano sounds using

AWM2 synthesis. This board offers 136 stereo sounds, including a number of acoustic and electric

pianos, and up to 64-note polyphony.

• Advanced DX/TX Plug-in Board (PLG150-DX)

The sounds of the DX7 are available on this Plug-in Board. Unlike with PCM-based solutions, this

does not use sampled waveforms. Instead, it uses the actual FM sound generator engine of the DX-

series synthesizers to give a completely faithful reproduction. Sounds are compatible with those of

the DX7, and the board can even receive DX7 data via MIDI bulk dump.

• Virtual Acoustic Plug-in Board (PLG150-VL)

With Virtual Acoustic (VA) synthesis, the sounds of real instruments are modeled (simulated) in

real time, giving a degree of realism that cannot be achieved using conventional PCM-based

synthesis techniques. When playing these sounds using an optional MIDI Wind Controller (WX5),

you can even capture some of the physical feel of woodwind instruments.

Multi-Part Plug-in Board

• XG Plug-in Board (PLG100-XG)

This Plug-in Board is a 16-part XG sound generator. You can play back XG/GM song files using the

rich variety of sounds and effects on this board.

More Plug-in Boards will be available in future.

About MODULAR SYNTHESIS PLUG-IN SYSTEM

The Yamaha Modular Synthesis Plug-in System offers powerful expansion and upgrade capabilities

for Modular Synthesis-Plug-in-compatible synthesizers, tone generators and sound cards. This

enables you to easily and effectively take advantage of the latest and most sophisticated synthesizer

and effects technology, allowing you to keep pace with the rapid and multi-faceted advances in

modern music production.

Maximum Polyphony

The maximum sonic polyphony is 64 for AWM2, plus the polyphony of the Plug-in Board (if

installed). The actual note polyphony will vary depending on the type of tone generator unit used,

the number of Elements in the Voice, and the note polyphony of the Plug-in Board.

In the case of AWM2 Voices, the polyphony figure of 64 is divided 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.

Basics

Section

Effects Section

The effects can be used to change the sound of a Voice or Performance. There are two Insertion

Effect Units plus a Reverb Unit (with 12 types of reverb) and a Chorus Unit (with 23 types of

chorus). Each of the Insertion Effect units offers a variety of effects, and the units themselves can be

connected in parallel or in series.

In Voice/Performance Mode, different Effects settings can be assigned to each Voice/Performance,

though the way they are connected (series or parallel) varies slightly. As shown in the following

illustration, the two Insertion Effect units can be independently switched on or off for each Element

in a Voice. So basically, the Insertion Effects can be set on a per Element basis. After being passed

through the Insertion Effects, the signals from all individual Elements are mixed and sent to the

Reverb and Chorus Units. These Reverb and Chorus Units apply effects to the sound as a whole

before it is sent to the outputs, and are therefore known as System Effects.

In Performance Mode, the Insertion Effects can be set for two Parts: a Voice Part, plus a Plug-in Part.

However, the System Effects (Reverb and Chorus) are not applied to Parts, but to the Performance as a

whole.

Details about Effects are given on Page 50.

An Overview of Voices/Waves

Each Voice consists of up of up to four Elements. Each Element itself uses a high-quality waveform.

Internally, there are two Voice Types: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. Normal Voices are mainly

musical instrument-type 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. A collection of

Drum Voice assignments is known as a Drum Kit.

If you have installed an optional Plug-in Board, there will be more Voices for you to choose from.

These Voices are known as Plug-in Voices, and will vary depending on the Plug-in Board you have

installed (Page 27).

The Note Limit settings (Page 75) will also affect the allocation of sounds. But basically, Normal

Voices (of up to four Elements) are playable across the whole keyboard range whereas with Drum

Voices, any of 73 different Waves can be assigned to each Drum Key on the keyboard.

A total of eight Drum Voices (DR1 to DR8) are available as presets. You can also create your own Drum Voices

and save them to internal (User) memory or to external memoly (Memory Card), just as with Normal Voices.

Performances

A Performance consists of up to 17 Parts, each of which can a Normal Voice, Drum Voice or Plug-in

Part. By switching on the Layer Switch parameter for different Parts (up to four), you can play back

rich layered sounds in Performance Play Mode. You can also create splits so that different Parts are

assigned to different areas of the keyboard. If you assign a different MIDI channel number to each

Part, each track of a sequencer can play back a different Part.

In Performance Mode, several different Voices (Parts) can be layered to create rich textures. However, this can

cause note response to become slower under some circumstances.

1 Using the Arpeggiator (Page 36)

A wide variety of arpeggio patterns can be

created automatically by just holding down a

set of notes on the keyboard. You can specify

the sound and the note range within which the

arpeggiator is active, then use your left hand to

hold down the notes being arpeggiated while

using your right hand to play a melody line.

2 Using the Controllers (Page 38)

The Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel and

Control Sliders can be freely assigned to control

various sound parameters in real time. By

connecting an optional Foot Controller or Foot

Switch, you can also use your feet to control

parameters, to change Program Number, and so

on (Page 43). Also, you can assign parameters to

Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1] and [2] on the front panel

below the LCD.

Basics

Section

1 Arpeggiator

The arpeggiator is particularly suited to

dance/techno music genres. You can assign any

of 128 Arpeggio Types to each Voice,

Performance and adjust the tempo. You can also

set the Arpeggio Mode (the way in which the

arpeggio is played back when you press a note)

and Play Effects to create your own original

grooves. Arpeggio information can be

transmitted through the MIDI Out.

Selecting and Playing Back

an Arpeggio Type

You can choose from 128 different Arpeggio

Type presets. You can also freely vary the

Arpeggio Tempo to suit the song. The Note

Limit parameter can be used to define the

effective note range of the arpeggio.

Each parameter applies to, and is stored with,

each Voice or Performance. By playing notes on

the keyboard and listening to the arpeggio, you

can adjust these parameters by ear.

The arpeggiator’s parameters are available in

each Edit Mode. In the following Voice Mode

example, the Arpeggio Type is set for a Drum

Voice in Preset Drum 1.

To select the Preset Drum, press the MEMORY

[PRE2] key while holding down the MEMORY

[PRE1] key and press a PROGRAM key. Here, we

will choose Preset Drum 1 so you should press the

PROGRAM [1] key.

If the Arpeggiator switch is already enabled for the

Voice/Performance, this means that the Arpeggiator

will be ready for use whenever you select the

Voice/Performance.

The on/off state of the Arpeggiator can be stored

(Pages 101, 124) for each Voice/Performance.

the Common Edit screens that you have now

selected.

3Use the [PAGE] knob to switch to the ARP

Type (Arpeggio Type) screen.

If you use the [PAGE] knob while holding down the

[SHIFT] key, a menu will be displayed. You can

quickly jump to the ARP screen by using the

[PAGE] knob to move the cursor to the ARP item

in the menu, then releasing the [SHIFT] key(Page

65).

4Use Knob [B] to jump to the Type parameter.

Now use Knob [B], the [DATA] knob or the

[INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] keys to select the

desired Arpeggio Type. Let’s choose

“BigBeat2” here.

Arpeggio Types are divided into the four

following categories and applications are not

just limited to drum patterns. You can also

select Arpeggio Types for backing chords,

basslines and so on.

When setting the Arpeggio Category to Ct

(Control), you also need to set the Key Mode

parameter (two screens ahead) to “direct.”

Sq (Sequence):

Creates a general arpeggio phrase. Mainly octave

up/down phrases.

Ph (Phrase):

Creates more musical phrases than Sq. Starting

with “Techno,” there are phrases for a wide

variety of musical genres, and for creating

backing tracks for guitar, piano and other

instruments.

Dr (Drum Pattern):

Creates drum pattern-type phrases. Phrase genres

covered include rock and dance. This Type is ideal

for use with drum and percussion sounds.

Ct (Control):

Creates tonal changes. No note information is

created. The Key Mode parameter in Arpeggio

Mode must be set to “direct.”

Details about Arpeggio Types are given in

the separate Data List.

Using the Arpeggiator

Use Knob [1] to set the Arpeggiator Switch

parameter to “on.”

You can hold down multiple notes to create

complex arpeggio patterns.

When the arpeggiator is switched on, the notes

you play (and hold down) on the keyboard will

be arpeggiated using the currently selected Voice

or Performance, and according to the Arpeggio

Type, Tempo and Note Limit settings.

In Voice Mode, the currently selected Voice will

be arpeggiated. In Performance Mode, the Voices

of Parts for which both the Layer and arpeggiator

are switched on, are arpeggiated (Page 117).

Only notes within the Note Limit range will be

arpeggiated. Therefore, if the notes you play are

not arpeggiated, they may be outside this range.

Details about the Note Limit settings are given

later.

The Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels can be

used while the arpeggiator is running.

Now try selecting other Arpeggio Types and

arepggiating different Voices.

You can use a Foot Switch (optional) to switch the

Arpeggiator on/off. Details about assigning parameters

to the Foot Switch are given on Pages 43, 129.

Setting the Tempo

You can use Knob [C] to adjust the tempo between

25 and 300 BPM. This parameter setting is used by

the Arpeggiator. Use Knob [C] to jump to the

Tempo parameter. Now use Knob [C], the [DATA]

knob or the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] keys to set

the tempo. You can also set the tempo using the

[TEMPO] knob on the front panel.

Setting the Note Limit

Using the Note Limit parameter, let’s set up a

Normal Voice (say, Voice Program Number

098:G02 of Internal:champ) such that the

Arpeggiator is enabled in the lower part of the

keyboard but the upper part can be used to play

melody lines. You’ll need to have already set the

Arpeggio Type (say, MuteLine).

2Use Knob [2] to jump to the parameter for the

highest note in the range, and to set the note.

Alternatively, you can set this parameter by

pressing the note (say, E3) on the keyboard

while holding down the [SHIFT] key.

Similarly, the lowest note in the range can be

set using Knob [1], or by pressing the note

while holding down the [SHIFT] key.

Knobs [1] and [2] are used to set the Note Limits

of the keyboard range within which the

arpeggiator will play back. The cursor (≥)

immediately jumps to each respective parameter

when Knobs [1] and [2] are used. Once the

cursor is at the parameter, you can also use the

[DATA] knob or the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO]

keys to enter settings.

Outside the Note Limit range, you can play the

keyboard normally without the notes being

arpeggiated. Therefore, you can use your left

hand to play block chords used by the

Arpeggiator and your right hand to play melody

lines in the upper part of the keyboard.

Combined with the OSC Limit parameter of the

Element Edit screen, the sound used in the

lower part of the keyboard can be different from

that in the upper part.

The Note Limit parameters in Performance

Mode are different to those in Voice Mode, and

notes outside the set range will not sound. The

Arpeggiator Switch parameter (Page 117) for

each Part should be set to “on,” except for the

Part which you wish to use to play the melody.

Then, if necessary, use the Note Limit parameter

(Page 117) to restrict the keyboard range for that

Part.

Pitch Bend Wheel

This wheel’s prime function is to control pitch.

Roll the wheel upward/downward to bend the

pitch upward/downward. The effect can also be

reversed.

Pitch Bend Range can be set for each Voice. The

wheel can also be assigned other parameters (Page

69).

Even if a different parameter is assigned to the

wheel, Pitch Bend messages are still transmitted

through the MIDI Out when it is being used.

Modulation Wheel

The more you roll this wheel upwards, the

greater the modulation that is applied to the

sound.

Modulation depth can also be set beforehand. Also,

the wheel can be assigned different parameters,

such as Volume or Pan (Page 69).

Knobs [A]/[B]/[C]/[1]/[2]

In Voice/Performance Play Mode, Knobs [A], [B],

[C], [1] and [2] can be used as real-time

controllers. Knobs [A], [B] and [C] are assigned to

control the equalizer gain of, respectively, EQ

Low, EQ Mid and EQ Hi. With Knobs [1] and [2],

you are free to assign different parameters per

Voice.

If you turn any knob clockwise, the value

assigned to it is incremented. Conversely, the

value is decremented if you turn it the other way.

Common system parameters are assigned to Knobs

[A],[B] and [C] (Pages 41, 129). Voice-specific

parameters are assigned to Knobs [1] and [2] (Pages

42, 69).

A preset of suitable parameter settings is assigned

to each Voice. By using each knobs [1] and [2], you

are in effect adjusting these settings by a certain

amount. If these parameters are already preset at

their minimum or maximum settings, the settings

cannot be exceeded.

In any Edit Mode, Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1] and [2] are

used for entering parameter settings on screen (Page

19).

Control Sliders

In Performance Mode, if Master Keyboard Mode

is enabled, you can use the four Control Sliders

to control the functions assigned to each zone.

are left free to play the keyboard (or to operate

other controllers). This is very convenient if you

are playing live.

Foot Controller parameters can be set for each

Voice.

Foot Switch

An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch

connected to the rear panel FOOT SWITCH jack

(Page 13) can be assigned to a range of

parameters. It is suited for a switch-type

(on/off) controls such as Portamento Switch,

increment/decrement of a Voice or Performance

Number, start/stop of the Sequencer, holding

Arpeggiator on or off. The Foot Switch is not

well suited for continuous control. You could

also use it to switch to between different Voices

or Performances

The parameter assigned to the Foot Switch is set in

the CTRL Other screen of Utility Mode (Pages 43,

129).

Basics

Section

By creating Control Sets, you can change sounds

in a variety of ways.

For example, set the Src (Source) parameter of

Control Set 1 to MW (Modulation Wheel) and

the Dest (Destination) parameter to ELFO-PM

(Element LFO Pitch Modulation Depth). Then

set the Src parameter of Control Set 2 also to

MW, but set the Dest parameter to ELM PAN

(Element Pan). You will also need to specify the

Element to be controlled and also the depth

(amount) of control.

In this example, when you move the Modulation

Wheel upward, the amount of Pitch Modulation

increases accordingly, the Element is panned

from left to right. So in other words, you can

assign several Dest parameters to each Src

controller.

Continuing from the example above, now create

another Control Set where Src is set to FC (Foot

Controller) and Dest is set to ELFO-PM

(Element LFO Pitch Modulation Depth). Again,

specify the Element to be controlled and also the

depth of control.

Now, Pitch Modulation is assigned to both the

Modulation Wheel and Foot Controller. In other

words, you can also assign several Src controllers

to each Dest parameter.

By assigning all six Control Sets, you will have a

stunning degree of real-time control over the

synthesizer’s sounds.

Aftertouch

Aftertouch lets you, for example, add vibrato to a

sound by applying further pressure to a note on

the keyboard while it is being held down. This

allows real-time expression and control.

Aftertouch can be used to control a wide variety

of parameters (Page 69).

Control Sets

Aside from their default parameters, keyboard

aftertouch, the controllers and some of the knobs

on the front panel can be assigned with various

parameters, as explained on Page 38.

For example, you could assign Resonance to the

Modulation Wheel and set aftertouch to apply

vibrato. You are free to assign parameters to suit

the kind of sound being played.

These controller assignments are known as

Control Sets. As the following illustration shows,

you can assign up to six different Control Sets per

Voice. Within each Control Set, the controller is

known as the Source (Src) and the parameter

controlled by the Source is known as the

Destination (Dest).

There are various Dest parameters available; some

will apply to the Voice as a whole, while some will

be specific to each of its Elements. Details are

given in the Controls List of the separate Data

List.

Details about the available Dest parameter settings

are given in the Destination Parameter List of the

Control Sets and External MIDI Control

In a Control Set, the controllers are assigned to

the internal parameters of the synthesizer.

However, some controllers were originally

designed for a particular purpose, and send pre-

defined MIDI Control Change messages when

used, regardless of their Control Set allocations

within the synthesizer.

For example, the Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation

Wheel and keyboard aftertouch were originally

designed to control pitch bend, modulation and

aftertouch. Therefore, when you use these

controllers, pitch bend, modulation and

aftertouch information is always sent to the

MIDI Out.

Let’s say the Pan parameter is assigned to the

Pitch Bend Wheel in a Control Set. Now, when

you move the Pitch Bend Wheel, the internal

tone generator of the synthesizer will pan the

sound but at the same time, the original pre-

defined Pitch Bend messages will still be sent to

the MIDI Out.

The controllers can also send MIDI Control

Change messages to control the parameters of

external MIDI devices. These assignments are

found in the VOICE (Vce) CTRL Assign1/2

screen of Utility Mode.

As Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel

and keyboard aftertouch is pre-defined with

specific MIDI controls, you cannot assign

MIDI Control Changes.

You can also set up a controller such that it

sends one kind of Control message to the

synthesizer’s internal tone generator yet another

kind to the MIDI Out.

For example, in a Control Set you could assign

resonance to Assignable Knob [1]. Then, in the

VOICE CTRL Assign2 screen of Utility Mode, you

could assign Control Change Number 1

(Modulation) to the same knob. Now, when you

turn the knob, resonance will be applied to the

sound of the internal tone generator but at the same

time, modulation information will be sent to the

external MIDI device connected to the MIDI Out.

This aspect of the synthesizer makes it ideal

for use as a master controller for controlling

external MIDI devices. Add an optional Foot

Controller for even more control.

Assigning Parameters to Knobs [A], [B] and [C]

The following procedure explains how you

can assign a desired parameter to Knob [A],

[B] or [C]. You can assign any parameters

that are common throughout the system (for

all Play Modes) and any MIDI Control

Change Numbers. In the example, Knob [A]

will be set up to control Reverb Return.

1 Press the [UTILITY] key to enter Utility

Mode.

2 Use the [PAGE] knob to switch to the CTRL

KnobA (System Control Knob A) screen.

3 Use Knob [2] to select REV-Rtn (Reverb

Return).

Now you can use Knob [A] for on-the-fly

control of the Reverb Return level in

Voice/Performance Play Mode. Note that you

can also send (by turning Knob [A]) or

receive Control Change messages with the

Controller Number set in the CC# parameter

through MIDI In and Out.

For assignable parameters, refer to “System

Controller Destination Parameters” in the

separate Data List.

Assigning Parameters to Knobs [1] and [2]

The following procedure explains how you

can assign a desired parameter to Knob [1] or

[2]. You can assign controllers to each Voice

(or Part in a Performance). Control Settings

can be assigned as a Control Set, and a each

Controller can be used to control multiple

parameters (although this varies according to

the type of Voice). Here we introduce an

example of how to set up Control Set 1 for

Internal Voice 001 (A01) by assigning PCH-

Crs (Pitch: Coarse) to Knob [1].

You can also assign, separately, a different

MIDI Control Change Number to the same

knob in Voice Mode and Performance Mode.

In Voice Mode, the foot controller can now be

used to control the same function as that

assigned to the Modulation Wheel.

If the current Voice has a Control Set with a

source (Src) assigned to Modulation Wheel

(MW) and receives a Control Change

message of Modulation Wheel, a destination

(Dest) parameter for the source (MW) will

be affected with that message.

The above procedure explains how to set up

the Foot Control to control Modulation in

Voice Mode. To create such a setup for

Performance Mode, the appropriate settings

are found at the CTL Assign2 screen in

Performance Edit Mode.

Switching Between Programs by Foot Switch

By connecting an optional Foot Switch (such

as the FC4 or FC5) to the FOOT SWITCH

jack on the rear panel of the synthesizer, you

can switch between Programs without having

to use your hands. For example, if you

consecutively arrange the

4 OSC (Oscillator) Screens

In these screens, you can mainly set the

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.

• OSC Wave

Select the waveform (Wave) used for each

Element.

• OSC Out

• OSC Pan

Set the volume (output level) and stereo pan

position of each Element. The following

illustration shows the logic.

• OSC Limit

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.

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.

• QED (Common Quick Edit)

These parameters mostly control the volume and

tone of the Voice and you can easily change the

overall sound.

• ARP (Common Arpeggio)

By setting these parameters, you can control how

the Voice is arpeggiated. Details about how to

use the Arpeggiator are given on Page 36.

• CTL (Common Controller)

You can assign various functions to the

controllers on the front/rear panel. For example,

you can assign parameters to the Pitch Bend

Wheel and a Foot Controller so that you can

change the tone of the Voice in real time. Details

about various different uses are given on Page

38.

• LFO (Common Low Frequency Oscillator)

These are the LFO parameters. The LFO uses a

low frequency waveform to vary the

pitch/filter/amplitude characteristics, and can be

used to create vibrato, wah, tremolo and other

effect (Page 70).

• EFF (Common Effect)

These are the Effects parameters for the Voice.

There are two Insertion Effects plus two System

Effects (Reverb and Chorus).

Envelope Generator), you can control how the

pitch changes over time.

• PEG (Pitch Envelope Generator)

Using the PEG, you can control the transition in

pitch from the moment a note is pressed on the

keyboard to the point at which it is released. As

illustrated below, the Pitch Envelope consists of five

Time (transition speed) parameters and five Level

(pitch) parameters. This is useful for creating

automatic changes in pitch. Furthermore, different

PEG parameters can be set for each Element.

6 FLT (Filter) and FEG (Filter

EG) Screens

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. There are several

types of filters, but its basic idea is similar. As

illustrated below, the filter is used to pass overtones

at specific frequencies and cut off (does not pass)

others, to alter the harmonic factor of an original

waveform. You can determine such frequencies by

specifying a pointing or center frequency (cutoff

frequency). With some filters, you can adjust

signal levels at several frequency bands. 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 introduce how FEG works.

Details about Filter Types are given on Page 78.

• FEG (Filter Envelope Generator)

Using the FEG, you can control the transition in

tone from the moment a note is pressed on the

keyboard to the point at which it is released. As

illustrated below, the Filter Envelope consists of

five Time (transition speed) parameters and five

Level parameters (for the amount of filtering).

When you press a note on the keyboard, the cutoff

frequency will change according to these envelope

settings. This is useful for creating automatic wah

effects, for example. Furthermore, different FEG

parameters can be set for each Element.

Details about FEG parameters are given on Page 80.

7 AMP (Amplitude) and AEG

(Amplitude EG) Screens

Set the volume of each Element after the OSC

have been applied, and also 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 Unit.

Also, by setting the AEG (Amplitude Envelope

Generator), you can control how the volume

changes over time.

The final volume for all Elements is set in the

Volume (Vol) parameter of the QED screen in

Common Edit.

• Amplitude EG (Envelope Generator)

Using the AEG, you can control the transition in

volume from the moment a note is pressed on the

keyboard to the point at which it is released.

As illustrated below, the Amplitude Envelope

consists of five Time (transition speed)

parameters and five Level parameters (for the

amount of filtering). When you press a note on

the keyboard, the volume will change according

to these envelope settings. Furthermore,

different AEG parameters can be set for each

Element.

tremolo, although the actual available LFO

parameters will vary according to the type of

Element.

9 EQ (Equalizer) Screens

Specific frequency bands for each Element can be

attenuated or boosted using an equalizer. There

are many types of equalizers available. Details

Up to 128 new/edited Normal Voices and 2

new/edited Drum Voices can be stored to

internal user memory or external Memory Card.

The maximum number of Plug-in Voices that can

be stored to internal memory (PLG) is 64.

When storing a Voice, any existing data at the

storage location will be lost. You should always

back up important data to Memory Card, computer

or some other storage medium beforehand.

Details about storing Voices are given on Page 101.

Effects

In the final stages of programming, you can set

the effects parameters to further change the

sound’s character. To generalize, System Effects

apply to the overall sound, whether it is a Voice,

a Performance, a Song, etc. Insertion Effects, on

the other hand, can be applied individually to

each Voice. This synthesizer has two System

Effect Units (Reverb and Chorus) plus two

Insertion Effect Units. When using a Plug-in

Board (PLG) installed on the instrument, you

can also use a separate Insertion Effect Unit that

is dedicated for the Plug-in Part.

Different effects settings can be set per Voice (in

Voice Mode) and per Performance (in

Performance Mode), though the connection

between the Effect Units will vary in each case.

Reverb Unit

The Reverb Unit includes a selection of 12

different reverb-type effects, including realistic

simulations of the natural reverberation found in

various halls and rooms. In Voice Mode, Reverb

settings can be set for each Voice. In

Performance Mode, the Reverb settings will apply

to the Performance as a whole.

Chorus Unit

The Chorus Unit includes a selection of 23

chorus-type effects, including a flanger and

others. Most of these effects are ideal for adding

thickness to the sound.

In Voice Mode, Chorus settings can be set for

each Voice. In Performance Mode, the Chorus

settings will apply to the Performance as a whole.

Insertion Effects

The Insertion Effect 1 Unit includes 24 effects

including chorus, flanger and auto-wah. The

Insertion Effect 2 Unit offers delays, reverbs,

rotary speaker, amp simulation and other effects,

providing a total of 92 effects. If a Plug-in Board

has been installed, up to 24 Insertion Effects for

the Plug-in Voices will also be available.

Details about each Effect Type are given in the

Effect Type List in the separate Data List.

Effects in Voice Mode

In Voice Mode, you can set up the effect type and

its value for each Effect Unit (Reverb, Chorus and

Insertion Effects) and store them with each Voice.

Furthermore, you can determine that each

Element connects or bypasses the Insertion Effect

Units. When you connect an Element to Insertion

Effects, you can also specify the connecting way of

two Units (series or parallel, as illustrated below).

The combined signal from all Voice Elements —

after application of the Insertion Effects — is

sent to the Reverb and Chorus System Effect

Units.

When you want to use Plug-in Voices from a

Plug-in Board attached, you can also set up a

dedicated Insertion Effect Unit for each Plug-in

Voice. In this case, a Plug-in Voice signals

processed with the Insertion Effect Unit will be

then routed to Reverb and Chorus Units.

Effects in Performance Mode

In Performance Mode, you can use an Insertion

Effects setting “borrowed” from ones respectively

stored with Voices (Parts) . For a Plug-in Part, you

can select and use an Insertion Effect setting

“borrowed” from ones respectively stored with

Plug-in Voices.

For Reverb and Chorus, you can create new

settings dedicated for an entire Performance,

without “borrowing” existing Reverb and Chorus

settings stored with a Voice.

In the following illustration, a mixer represents

the logic behind how the different effects are

applied to the sound in Performance Mode. Each

Part (1 to 16) is fed to the mixer through either

Insertion Effect 1 or Insertion Effect 2. The

signals for all Parts are summed in the mixer and

then the System Effects (Reverb and Chorus) are

applied to the mix as a whole.

As previously explained, your Synthesizer

provides several convenient features that you can

make use of in a live show or the like. Here we

introduce some examples to combine those

features to meet your specific purposes.

The S30 has special settings in Performance Mode so

that you can use the instrument as MIDI master

keyboard. You can activate the function (enable

those special settings) when you press the

[MASTER KEYBOARD] key on the panel (its LED

will light). Now your instrument can send

performance on the keyboard to an external tone

generator, as well as the internal tone generator,

according to the master keyboard settings in

Performance Mode. If you divide the keyboard into

several (up to four) key ranges and assign separate

MIDI transmit channels, the keyboard can control

multiple parts (channels) from the internal tone

generator and external MIDI devices of those

channels at the same time.

There are three Master Keyboard Modes (how to

make key ranges) available: Split, 4 Zones, and Layer.

You can learn these Master Keyboard Modes and

their functional differences in the following

examples.

Split

The illustration below shows an example of a Split

configuration. Split is a typical setting to divide a

keyboard into two key ranges (lower and upper)

by splitting at a specific key note (split point).

The following example is to split the keyboard at

C3 note, enabling the lower range for automatic

performance with Arpeggiator and the upper

range for manual solo performance. You can

make this configuration in the following steps.

Edit and prepare Voices for Arpeggiator and

manual play in Voice Edit Mode before you set up a

Split setting in the following procedure (page 63).

(Arpeggio switch). Select “1” for “RcvCh”

(MIDI Receive Channel).

9Turn the [PAGE] knob and open the ARP

Type (Arpeggio Type) page. Set “on” for

“Switch.”

In steps 6 to 9, you now complete settings

for the lower range for Arpeggiator

performance. It will play in a Voice assigned

to Part 1 based on MIDI Receive channel 1.

Refer to page 67 for detailed settings of

Arpeggiator.

You can copy (reuse) the arpeggio settings that

belong to the Voice assigned to Part 1 (page 123).

)As in the same manner as in steps 6 to 8,

make settings for the upper range. So you can

use the Knob A and select “Part02”, select a

Voice for solo performance in the MIX Vce page,

set “2” for “RcvCh” in the LYR Mode page.

Now you are ready for solo performance within

the upper range. You can play in a Voice

assigned to Part 2 based on MIDI Receive

channel 2.

If you set “on” to “Layer” in the LYR Mode

page, the RcvCh setting will be ignored.

For unwanted Parts in Split play, set their MIDI

Receive channels (RcvCh) to other than those

used for the lower and upper Parts. In the

example above, the “RcvCh” values for Part 3 to

16 must be set to any other than 1 and 2.

In Performance Edit Mode, you can make

detailed settings for every Part. In case that a

Part does not sound, make sure the volume

setting for that Part. For more information,

refer to page 115.

!Before exiting Performance Edit Mode, store

above settings in a Performance. For storing a

Performance, refer to page 124.

In Performance Play Mode, recall the Performance

you have just stored. Simply pressing the

[MASTER KEYBOARD] key activates or

deactivates the Split configuration you made

above.

4 Zones

The illustration below shows an example of a 4-

Zone configuration. A zone refers to a specific key

range on the keyboard. You can logically divide a

keyboard into up to four key ranges with separate

ARPíType) Type Tempo Switch Hold

MIDI channels and other associated settings so that

you can control multiple Parts at the same time. A

Split setting can divides the entire keyboard into

two absolute sections (key ranges). In a 4-zone

setting, however, each section can overlap to one

another. You can even set a section to cover or

include other sections.

In the following example, Zone 1 is set up for

performance by the Arpeggiator, Zone 2 for bass

sound, Zone 3 manual solo performance, and Zone 4

for playing an external MIDI tone generator. Also in

this settings, Zones 3 and 4 overlap in the same range,

and entire performance in four all zones is output

from the MIDI OUT connector so that you can

record that performance on an external MIDI

sequencer. You can make this configuration in the

following steps.

Before you set up a 4-Zone configuration in the

following procedure, edit and prepare necessary

Voices (for Arpeggiator and manual play) in

their associated Edit Modes.

1Press the [PERFORM] key, followed by the

[EDIT] key (each LED will light) to enter

4Select one of “Zone01” to “Zone04” using the

Knob [A]. As we have selected “4zone” for

the Mode parameter, you can now select

setting screens for four Zones. Select

“Zone01” to get started with the settings.

You can also use the BANK [A] to [D] keys to

respectively select “Zone01” to “Zone04.”

Selecting a Zone opens the MKB Transmit

page. You may want to select a sub screen to

set up a Zone using the [PAGE] knob. But you

first specify basic items in the MKB Transmit

page, such as MIDI transmit channel, enabling

or disabling MIDI output to the internal tone

generator and to the MIDI OUT connector.

5Set MIDI transmit channel (TrnsCh) to

“Ch01” using the Knob [C]. Set MIDI output

to the internal tone generator (TG) and MIDI

OUT (MIDI) both to “on.”

These settings can differentiate each Zone

from one another, to internally or externally

output performance made in each Zone using

a separate MIDI channel. Finally, you will

separately control sound tones from four

zones.

To do this, set “Ch01” to “Ch04” respectively

to the “TrnsCh” parameters in the MKB

Transmit pages for Zones 1 to 4. For the

“TG” and “MIDI” parameters, set both “on”

for Zones 1 to 3. For Zone 4, set “off” to

“TG” and “on” to “MIDI.” You can switch

between multiple MKB Transmit screens using

the Knob [A].

Some of basic settings for four zones are now

complete.

6Select “Zone01” again using the Knob [A].

Open the MKB Note screen using the [PAGE]

knob. In this screen, you can specify a key

range for a Zone.

In the MKB Note page, you can also find other

parameters such as Note Limit, Transpose, etc.

that this key range setting will make a

overlapped range with Zone 3.

For detailed settings of a Zone, refer to page 121.

!Turn the Knob [A] and select a Part for a

Zone. In this example, we select Part 1 for

Zone 1, Part 2 and Part 3 respectively for Zone

2 and Zone 3. We don’t select any internal

Part for Zone 4 since Zone 4 is set only to

output performance information via MIDI

Out. First, select Part 1 (Part01) for Zone 1.

You can also use the [MEMORY] or

PROGRAM/PART keys to select a Part for a

Zone (page 104).

@Use the [PAGE] knob and open the MIX Vce

play in the key range of Zone 3.

You don’t need to make further settings for

Zone 4 since it is not intended for an internal

Part and has already been set to output

performance information via the MIDI OUT

connector in steps 5 to ). The key range of

Zone 4 matches to that of Zone 3 so that solo

performance made in that range will be sent

on MIDI channels 3 (from Zone 3) and 4

(from Zone 4) via [MIDI OUT] to an external

MIDI device.

You can set additional Part settings in

Performance Edit Mode. If you have a trouble

possibly associated with these settings, such as

no sound from a specific Part, confirm any Part

settings related to volume, etc. Refer to page

115 for more information about Part settings.

About Note Limit (Key Range)

Note Limit setups are provided for setting

Master Keyboard Mode, Part , and Voice.

They are associated to one another as follows.

While using in Master Keyboard Mode, you can

control the internal tone generator (or an

external MIDI device) according to “Note Limit”

in the MKB Note screen. If you limit a Zone’s

key range to two octaves, it is as if you connect

an external two-octaves keyboard controller to

play with the tone generator. Meanwhile, the key

range (playable range) of an entire Voice is

determined by “Note Limit” in the LYR Limit

screen (page 117) for a Part assigned with that

Voice. Such a playable range of each Element of

a Voice is determined by “Note Limit” in the

OSC Limit screen (page 75) available in Voice

Edit Mode.

About the Control Sliders

While Master Keyboard Mode is turned on, the

Control Sliders [1] to [4] on the front panel are

respectively linked to Zones 1 to 4. When these

Sliders, for instance, are set to control volumes for

their corresponding Zones, you can use them like

a mixer’s channel faders to balance volumes of

Zones. These Sliders can separately work so that

you can assign a different control function to each

of them (volume for Zone 1, pan for Zone 2, etc.).

You can make such assignments in the MKB

For Parts that do not require polyphony, the

Mode parameter can be set to “mono”

(monophonic).

By following steps 2 to 5 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

synthesizer which then plays the Voice for the

Part assigned to MIDI channel 2.

6Repeat steps 2 to 5 above, but set up Part 3

for bass and to receive on MIDI channel 3.

7Repeat steps 2 to 5 again, setting up Part 10

for drums and to receive on MIDI channel 10.

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.”

There are many other Part-specific parameters in

Performance Edit Mode. Details are given on

Page 106.

8Before exiting Performance Edit Mode, you

need to store the settings for the Performance.

Details about storing Performances are given

on Page 124.

Now, when you select this Performance in

Performance Play Mode, you can play back the

song file on computer (sequencer) or internal

sequencer, and the piano, bass and drum Parts

will be played back according to each track’s

MIDI channel.

LYRíMode) Mode Arp Layer RcvCh

Part02 poly on off 2

Performance Mode lets you use your synthesizer 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

Performance 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

Performance 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.

The synthesizer’s internal sequencer can be used to

play back the song file. The included XGworks lite

computer sequencer software can also be used for

this, though you need to make sure that the

computer has been connected to your synthesizer

correctly (Page 12).

1After pressing the [PERFORM] key, press the

[EDIT] key (the respective LEDs will light).

You are now in Performance Edit Mode.

Before entering Performance Edit Mode, you need

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 Performance so that you can also play

another Part live.

This is the same as the Performance created

earlier, but with the addition of another Part for

live playback. Regarding settings, the important

points are as follows.

• In the Performance 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.

• At the LYR Mode screen, set the Layer

parameter for Part 1 to “on,” and make sure it

is set to “off” for Parts 2, 3 and 10.

If you want to manually play multiple (up to

four) Parts using some Voices from Parts 4 to 9,

11 to 16 and a Plug-in Part, set those Parts’ Layer

Switch parameters to “on.”

• At the GEN MIDI screen, set the LayerCh

(Layer Channel) parameter to BasicCh.

The Voice for Part 1 can now be played live

using the keyboard.

When you play a song file bearing the XG/GM logo

(available in the market), you may want to install

an optional XG Plug-in Board on the instrument, to

enjoy a best playback quality with a wide variety of

Voices and Effects. Note that you can install an

additional XG Plug-in Board to double polyphonic

notes and Effects. In such cases, you do not only

enjoy the playback of a song, but also can mute a

specific Part from the song file for a “minus-one”

setting, which is convenient for practice of solo

performance.

Voice Edit

There are three kinds of Voices: Normal Voices, Drum

Voices and Plug-in Voices (if a Plug-in board has been

installed). The following is an explanation of the

parameters used to edit each kind of Voice.

Details about Voices are given on Page 31.

The following is displayed when you enter Voice Edit

Mode. The displayed screens will vary according to the

type of Voice being edited, but basically the [PAGE]

knob is used to switch between screens and the

parameters on each screen are altered using Knobs [A],

[B], [C], [1] and [2]. The [DATA] knob and the

[INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] keys can be used to alter

parameters in small increments.

While holding down the [SHIFT] key, you can use

Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1] or [2] to move the cursor to the

respective parameter without changing it’s value. You

can also move the cursor using the [DATA] knob or the

[INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] keys while holding down the

[SHIFT] key.

You need to select the Voice before entering Voice Edit Mode

(Page 60). All parameters can be set and stored per Voice.

See page 16 on how to enter Voice Edit mode.

Common Edit and editing each Element

Voices can consist of up to four Elements (Page 32).

Use Common Edit to edit the settings common to all four

Elements. Voice Edit Mode can be divided into screens

for Common Edit and those for editing each Element.

In Voice Edit Mode, Knob [A] is used to switch

between the Common Edit screens and the screens

for editing each Element.

monophonically (single notes only) or

polyphonically (multiple simultaneous notes).

❏Settings: mono, poly

■ Assign

If you set Key Assign to “single,” the doubled

playback of the same note is prevented. The

synthesizer will terminate a note when the same

note is received again. If you select “multi,” the

synthesizer will consecutively assign each instance

of the same received note to a separate channel,

making multiple part tone generation possible.

❏Settings: single, multi

■ MicroTuning

Set the Micro Tuning (tuning system, or temperament) used

for the Voice. Normally you would use “Equal Temperament”

but there are also 31 other tuning systems available.

❏Settings: (see the following list)

Type Key Comments

Equal temperament

No.

00 The “compromise” tuning used for most of

the last 200 years of Western music, and

found on most electronic keyboards. Each

half step is exactly 1/12 of an octave, and

music can be played in any key with equal

ease. However, none of the intervals are

perfectly in tune.

1/4 shifted28 This is the normal equal tempered scale

shifted up 50 cents.

Twenty–four equally spaced notes per

octave. (Play twenty–four notes to move one

octave.)

Werckmeister25

Kirnberger26

Vallotti & Young27

Pure major C~B01~12

Pure minor A~G# The same as Pure Major, but designed for

the minor scale.

Andreas Werckmeister, a contemporary of

Bach, designed this tuning so that keyboard

instruments could be played in any key.

Each key has a unique character.

Francescantonio Vallotti and Thomas Young

(both mid–1700s) divised this adjustment to

the Pythagorean tuning in which the first six

fifths are lower by the same amount.

Johan Philipp Kirnberber was also

concerned with tempering the scale to allow

performances in any key.

13~24

This tuning is designed so that most of the

intervals (especially the major third and

perfect fifth) in the major scale are pure. This

means that other intervals will be

correspondingly out of tune. You need to

specify the key (C~B) you will be playing in.

1/4 tone29

Forty–eight equally spaced notes per octave.

(Play forty–eight notes to move one octave.)

Common Arpeggio

The following four parameters control the behavior of

the Arpeggiator.

ARP Type (Arpeggio Type)

ARP Limit (Arpeggio Note Limit)

ARP Mode (Arpeggio Mode)

ARP PlayEF (Arpeggio Play Effect)

ARP Type (Arpeggio Type)

These are the basic parameters of the Arpeggiator.

■ Type

Set the Arpeggio Type.

❏Settings: (see the separate Data List)

Sq (Sequence):

Creates a general arpeggio phrase. Mainly octave up/down phrases.

Ph (Phrase):

Creates more musical phrases than Sq. Starting with

“Techno,” there are phrases for a wide variety of musical

genres, and for creating backing tracks for guitar, piano and

other instruments.

Dr (Drum Pattern):

Creates drum pattern-type phrases. Phrase genres covered

include rock and dance. This Type is ideal for use with

drum and percussion sounds.

Ct (Control):

Creates tonal changes. No note information is created. The Key

Mode parameter in Arpeggio Mode must be set to “direct.”

■ Tempo

Set the Arpeggio Tempo.

❏Settings: 25 ~ 300

[MIDI] is displayed here and the parameter cannot be

altered if MIDI sync is enabled (Page 131).

❏Settings: syncoff (see below), off, on

syncoff

The first time you press a key, the first note of the

arpeggiator pattern is played. From the second and

subsequent key presses, the arpeggiator note that is played

back will depend on the arpeggiator tempo and the timing

of the arpeggio pattern. For example, in the case of a 1-bar

arpeggio pattern, if the second key press falls on the third

beat of the bar, the arpeggio pattern plays back from the

third beat onward. In other words, the first key press is

used to start the arpeggio pattern and thereafter you can

use the key to “mute” or “un-mute” the pattern by,

respectively, holding it down or releasing it. This is

particularly useful when the arpeggiator is being used to

generate drum patterns.

Details about this are given on Page 38.

ARP Limit (Arpeggio Note Limit)

■ Note Limit

Set the lowest and highest notes in the Arpeggiator’s

note range.

❏Settings: C-2 ~ G8 (lowest and highest set separately)

If you specify the highest note first and the lowest note

second, for example “C5 to C4,” then the note range

covered will be “C-2 to C4” and “C5 to G8.”

You can set the lowest and highest notes in the range by

pressing notes on the keyboard while holding down the

[SHIFT] key.

ARP Mode (Arpeggio Mode)

These parameters control the way in which notes are

played back by the Arpeggiator.

■ Key Mode

Set how the Arpeggio is played back when keys on

the keyboard are pressed. There are 3 modes.

❏Settings:

sort:

Plays back notes in ascending order from the lowest key

pressed to the highest.

thru:

Plays back notes in the order in which the keys are pressed.

direct:

Plays back the notes exactly as you play them. If changes

to Voice parameters (such as Pan or Cutoff frequency) are

included in the Arpeggio sequence data, they will be

applied and reproduced whenever the Arpeggio plays back.

ARPíMode) Key Mode Vel Mode

C 1234 sort thru

ARPíLimit) Note Limit

If the Arpeggio Category is set to Ct, you will not hear

any sounds unless you select “direct” here.

With the “sort” and “thru” settings, the order in which

notes are played back will depend on the Arpeggio

sequence data.

■ Vel Mode (Velocity Mode)

Set the playback velocity of the Arpeggio. There are

2 modes.

❏Settings:

original:

Preset velocities are used in the Arpeggio sequence.

thru:

Velocities of the notes you play are used in the Arpeggio

sequence.

ARP PlayEF (Arpeggio Play Effects)

You can set Play Effects for the Arpeggio. Play Effects

can be used to temporarily adjust the timing and

velocity of MIDI notes, thus affecting the groove of the

Arpeggio pattern.

■ Unit

Adjust the Arpeggio playback time. For example, if

you set a value of 200%, the playback time will be

doubled and the tempo halved. Alternatively, if you

set a value of 50%, the playback time will be halved

and the tempo doubled. Normal playback time is

100%.

❏Settings: 50%, 66%, 75%, 100%, 133%, 150%, 200%

■ Vel (Velocity)

Set the Velocity offset value (the strength at which

the keyboard is played). This determines how the

original Velocities are increased or decreased during

Arpeggio playback. A setting of 100% means the

original values are used. Settings below 100% will

reduce the velocity of the Arpeggio notes, whereas

settings above 100% will increase the velocities.

❏Settings: 0% ~ 200%

If the Velocity value falls below 1, it will be limited to 1.

If it exceeds 127, it will be limited to 127.

■ Gate (Gate Time)

Set the Gate Time Rate value (the length of a note).

This determines how the original Gate Times are

increased or decreased during Arpeggio playback. A

setting of 100% means the original values are used.

Settings below 100% will shorten the gate times of

the Arpeggio notes, whereas settings above 100%

will lengthen them.

❏Settings: 0% ~ 200%

If the Gate Time value falls below 1, it will be limited to 1.

CTL Set1 (Control Set 1)

CTL Set2 (Control Set 2)

CTL Set3 (Control Set 3)

CTL Set4 (Control Set 4)

CTL Set5 (Control Set 5)

CTL Set6 (Control Set 6)

CTL Portamento

Set the Portamento parameters. Portamento will create

a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played

to the next.

■ Switch

Switch Portamento on or off.

❏Settings: off, on

■ Time

Set the pitch transition time. Higher values mean

longer transition times.

❏Settings: 0 ~ 127

■ Mode

Set the Portamento mode. The behavior of the

Portamento varies depending on whether Mode in

GEN Other is set to “mono” or “poly.”

❏Settings: fingered, fulltime

If the Mode in GEN Other is set to “mono”:

fingered:

Portamento is only applied when you play legato (playing

the next note before releasing the previous one).

fulltime:

Portamento is always applied.

If the Mode in GEN Other is set to “poly”:

This is the same as for “mono,” except that Portamento is

applied to multiple notes.

CTL Bend (Pitch Bend)

You can set the amount by which the Pitch Bend

Wheel changes the pitch of the Voice.

■ Lower

Set the amount (in semitones) by which the Voice

pitch changes when the Pitch Bend Wheel is moved

downwards. For example, a value of -12 means that

the pitch of the Voice drops by up to an octave when

upwards. For example, a value of +12 means that

the pitch of the Voice rises by up to an octave when

the Pitch Bend Wheel is moved upwards.

❏Settings: -48 ~ 0~ +24

CTL Set1 (Control Set 1) to CTL Set6

(Control Set 6)

The controllers and knobs on the front panel, the

keyboard, and so on can be assigned a variety of uses.

For example, keyboard aftertouch can be used to

control vibrato and the Modulation Wheel could be

used to control Resonance. They can even be used to

control parameters within individual Elements. These

control assignments are called “Control Sets.” You can

assign up to six different Control Sets per Voice. Thus

there are six screens, each for a separate controller:

CTL Set1 to CTL Set6.

■ Src (Source)

Set the Controller used to control the function chosen

in Dest. The following nine controllers are available.

❏Settings: PB (Pitch Bend Wheel), MW (Modulation

Wheel), AT (Aftertouch), FC (Foot Controller),

FS (Foot Switch), RB (Ribbon Controller), BC

(Breath Controller), KN1/2 (Knobs 1/2)

If SRC has been set to FC or FS, you cannot control the

function assigned to Dest if you have set the following

Control Change numbers.

FC: 7, 11

FS: 64, 65, 66

Control Change numbers can be set at the following

■ KeyReset (Key on Reset)

Set whether the LFO is reset each time a note is

pressed. The following three settings are available.

❏Settings: off, each-on, 1st-on

off

The LFO is self-running (no synchronization) and starts a

waveform at any phase when you play on the keyboard.

each-on

The LFO resets with each note you play and starts a waveform

at the phase specified by the Phase parameter (see below).

1st-on

The LFO resets with every note you play and starts the

waveform at the phase specified by the Phase parameter

(Show below). If you play a second note while the first

note is being played (Note Off has not been received), the

LFO does not reset to the specified phase (no

synchronization) with the second note and after.

(controlling the pitch). The pitch of a note is held

at the Hold Level for the length of time defined by

the Hold Time. After the Hold Time has elapsed,

the pitch changes in accordance with the Attack

Time/Level, Decay 1/2 Time and the Decay 1 Level,

then settles at the Sustain Level. When the note is

released, the change in pitch is governed by the

Release Time/Level settings.

Velocity Sensitivity and other parameters can also

Filters

To generalize, there are basically four types of filter: an LPF

(Low Pass Filter), an HPF (High Pass Filter), a BPF (Band

Pass Filter) and a BEF (Band Elimination Filter). Each

available filter has a different frequency response. There

are also combinations of LPF and HPF.

• LPF (Low Pass Filter):

This only passes signals below the Cutoff frequency. You

can then use the Reso (Resonance) parameter to add further

character to the sound. Six types of LPF are available.

■ Cutoff

Set the Cutoff frequency. This is used as the basic

frequency for the selected Filter Type.

❏Settings: 0 ~ 255

■ Reso (Resonance)/Band/Width

This parameter’s function varies according to the

selected Filter Type. If an LPF or HPF has been

selected, this parameter is used to set the Resonance.

For the BPF (excluding the BPFW) and the BEF, it is

used to select the Band. For the BPFW, it is used to

adjust the Width of the band.

With the LPF and HPF, the Reso parameter is used

to set the amount of Resonance (harmonic

emphasis) applied to the signal at the Cutoff

frequency. This can be used in combination with

the Cutoff frequency parameter to add further

character to the sound.

With the BPF, the Band parameter is used to set the

range (band) of signal frequencies passed by the filter.

With the BEF, it is used to set the band of signal

frequencies attenuated by the filter. In both cases, the

Cutoff frequency is the center frequency of the band.

With the BPFW, the Width parameter is used to

adjust the width of the band of signal frequencies

passed by the filter.

FLT Scale (Filter Scale Break Point)

You can set four Filter Scaling Break Points for each

Element. Filter Scaling controls the filter cutoff

frequency according to the positions of the notes on the

keyboard. There are four Break Points used to divide

and assign different settings across the keyboard. The

Levels (Offsets) at each of Break Point are set in the

FLT Scale screen.

Details about Filter Scaling are given later in the section

“Filter Scaling Settings.”

■ BP1/BP2/BP3/BP4 (Break Point 1/2/3/4)

are used by the Break Points (BP1/BP2/BP3/BP4).

Details about Filter Scaling are given below in the

section “Filter Scaling Settings.”

❏Settings: Ofst1 to Ofst4: -128 ~ 0 ~ +127

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

–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 Cutoff frequencies at each Break

Point are 60, 74, 81 and 68, respectively. For other

notes, the Cutoff frequencies will be on the straight

line connecting the two adjacent Break Points.

The Break Points are automatically arranged in

ascending order across the keyboard. For example,

BP2 cannot be set to a lower note than that of BP1.

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 BP1 Level.

A note set above BP4 will become the BP4 Level.

The Center setting cannot be changed. This

parameter is for information only.

■ EGTime

Set the Time Scale (the speed of change in the FEG

over the range of the keyboard) for each Element.

The basic speed of change for the FEG is at the note

specified in the Center parameter.

A positive setting will cause slower changes for

lower notes and faster changes for higher notes. A

negative setting will have the opposite effect.

❏Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63

You can set various Time parameters for the Amplitude

Envelope Generator (AEG). Combined with the AEG

Level and AEG Release settings, these can be used

control the change in output level from the moment a

note is pressed on the keyboard to the moment it is

released. You can set different values for each Element.

Voice Mode

■ Level (Release Level)

This shows the Release Level. (Fixed at zero.)

Amplitude Envelope Generator Settings

There are four Time settings (controlling the speed

of changes in output level) and five Level settings

(controlling the output level). The output level

changes from the Initial Level to the Attack Level

(127) within the Attack Time. It then changes in

accordance with the Decay 1/2 Time and the Decay

1 Level, and settles at the Sustain Level. When the

note is released, the output level falls to the Release

Level (zero) within the Release Time.

Velocity Sensitivity and other parameters can also

be set if required.

AMP KeyFlw (AMP Key Follow)

You can set Amplitude Key Follow parameters for each

Element. This parameter controls the AEG behavior

according to the positions of notes on the keyboard.

The availability of the Amplitude Key Follow parameter

depends on the Break Point and Offset settings in the AEG

Scale screen.

■ Level

Set the Amplitude Key Follow ratio (the amount by

which the output level varies according to note

position) for each Element. A Center setting of C3 is

used as the basic setting.

A positive setting will lower the output level for

lower notes and raise it for higher notes. A negative

setting will have the opposite effect.

This shows that the basic Level is at note C3. At this

note, the output level remains unchanged. For other

notes, the output levels vary according to the Level

settings. The Center setting cannot be changed.

■ EGTime

The EGTime parameter controls the AEG Times for

each Element according to the positions of the notes on

the keyboard. The Center parameter is used as the basic

amplitude for this parameter.

A positive setting will cause the amplitude of lower notes

to change slower and that of higher notes to change

faster. Negative values will have the opposite effect.

❏Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63

■ Center (Center Key)

Set the basic pitch used by the EGTime parameter.

When the Center note is played, the AEG behaves

according to its actual settings. The amplitude

change characteristics for other notes will vary in

proportion to the EGTime settings.

❏Settings: C-2 ~ G8

You can also set this parameter by pressing the

respective note on the keyboard while holding down the

[SHIFT] key.

AMP Scale (AMP Scaling Break Point)

You can set four Amplitude Scaling Break Points for each

Element. Amplitude Scaling controls the amplitude

according to the positions of the notes on the keyboard.

There are four Break Points used to divide and assign

different settings across the keyboard. The Levels (Offsets)

at each of Break Point are set in the AMP Scale screen.

Details about Amplitude Scaling are given later in the

section “Amplitude Scaling Settings.”

The Levels of the Elements themselves are set in the OSC

Out screen (Page 74).

■ BP1/BP2/BP3/BP4 (Break Point1/2/3/4)

Set the Break Points for each Element. BP1 to BP4

will automatically be arranged in ascending order

across the keyboard.

❏Settings: BP1 to BP4: C-2 ~ G8

You can also set each Break Point by pressing the

respective note on the keyboard while holding down the

[SHIFT] key.

AMP Scale (AMP Scaling Offset)

■ Ofst1/Ofst2/Ofst3/Ofst4 (Offset 1/2/3/4)

Set the Amplitude Scaling Offset Levels. These

Offsets are used by the Break Points

(BP1/BP2/BP3/BP4).

Details about Amplitude Scaling are given later in the

section “Amplitude Scaling Settings.”

❏ Settings: Ofst1 to Ofst4: -128 ~ 0 ~ +127

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 Points are automatically arranged in

ascending order across the keyboard. For example,

BP2 cannot be set to a lower note than that of BP1.

AMPíScale) BP1 BP2 BP3 BP4

EL1234 + 0 +127 -128 + 0

AMPíScale) BP1 BP2 BP3 BP4

EL1234 C-2 C 3 C#5 G 8

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 breached.

A note set below the BP1 will become the BP1 Level.

A note set above BP4 will become the BP4 Level.

Element LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)

There are various settings for the LFO. The LFO is

used to generate low frequency signals and can be used

to create vibrato/wah/tremolo/etc. effects when applied

to pitch/filter/amplitude parameters. Different LFO

parameters can be set for each Element. The following

two screens are available.

EG parameters can be set for each Drum Key.

PCH Tune (Pitch Tune)

■ Coarse

Adjust the pitch of each Drum Key Wave (or Normal

Voice) in semitones.

❏Settings: -48 ~ +48

For a Normal Voice, this parameter adjusts the position

of its note (not its pitch) relative to note C3. For

example, let’s assume the original Voice consists of a

two-Element piano-like sound up to note C3 and a two-

Element string-like sound from note C#3 upwards.

Adjusting this Coarse setting by +1 would not change

the pitch of the piano-like sound to C#3. Instead, note

C#3 of the original Voice (i.e., the string-like sound)

would be used.

■ Fine

Fine-tune the pitch of each Drum Key Wave (or

Normal Voice).

❏Settings: -64 ~ +63

■ VelSens (Velocity Sensitivity)

Set the velocity sensitivity of the pitch. Positive

settings will cause the pitch to rise the harder you

play the keyboard and negative settings will cause it

to fall.

Cutoff frequency. Positive settings will cause the

cutoff frequency to rise the harder you play the

keyboard and negative settings will cause it to fall.

❏Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63

■ Reso (Resonance)

Set the amount of Resonance (harmonic emphasis)

applied to the signal at the Cutoff frequency.

This can be used in combination with the Cutoff

frequency of the Low Pass Filter to add further

character to the sound.

❏Settings: 0 ~ 31

Details about Resonance are given on Page 80.

■ HPF (High Pass Filter)

Set the Cutoff frequency of the High Pass Filter.

Only frequencies above this point are passed.

If you select “hold,” the level amplitude will be held

until you release the note.

❏Settings: 0 ~ 126, hold

AMP VelSens (Amplitude Velocity

Sensitivity)

You can define how the amplitude (output level) varies

according to the velocity of the received notes.

■ Level

Set the velocity sensitivity of the Amplitude Envelope

Generator’s output level. Positive settings will cause the

output level to rise the harder you play the keyboard

and, conversely, negative values will cause it to fall.

❏Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63

AMPíVelSens) Level

Key=C 3 +63

AMPíAEG) Attack Decay1---Level Decay2

Key=C 3 127 127 127 126

Amplitude Envelope Generator Settings

The Amplitude Envelope Generator has three Time

parameters and one Level parameter. These govern the

transitions between output levels for the duration of a

note. The Attack Time is the time taken for the sound to

reach its peak output level from the moment a note is

played on the keyboard. The Decay 1/2 Time and the

Decay 1 Level parameters are used to set the behavior of

the remainder (between the sound’s peak output level and

the point at which it fades to zero). Furthermore, you can

set these parameters to be sensitive to note velocity.

The Attack Level is fixed at its maximum value.

Decay2=hold

Drum Key EQ (Equalizer)

You can set Equalizer parameters for each Drum Key.

The following two screens are available. These

parameters are the same as for Normal Voices; details

are given on Page 86.

Plug-in Common Edit and Editing Each Element

There are two edit screens for a Plug-in Voice. One is

for general Voice settings called Plug-in Common, and

the other is for element settings called Plug-in

Element. There is only one element available for a

Plug-in Voice, but you can make access to parameters

in Plug-in Common and Element screens, which are

similar to ones for a normal Voice.

In Plug-in Voice editing, you can switch between the

Common and Element screens using the Knob [A].

Menu Display

When you use the [PAGE] knob while holding down

the [SHIFT] key, you will see the following Menu

Display. Then use the [PAGE] knob to move the

cursor to the desired item and release the [SHIFT]

key to jump to the Edit screen for the selected item.

The [PROGRAM/PART] keys on the S30 can directly

select Menus associated to them (page 65).

Plug-in Voices

The Voices held on Plug-in Board (Single Part) are known

as Board Voices. A Plug-in Voice is a Board Voice that has

been processed in the synthesizer in Voice Edit Mode.

There are six Common Edit screens and four screens for

editing the Element of a Plug-in Voice. You can save up to

64 edited Plug-in Voices in Banks A to D of Memory PLG.

After selecting the Plug-in Voice you wish to edit (in

Banks A to D of Memory PLG), when you enter Voice

Edit Mode, you will see the Voice Edit Mode screen

that you had exited from previously.

Monitoring Board Voices

You can monitor Board Voices without having to

enter Edit Mode. Also, if you press the [EDIT] key

while monitoring, you will enter Edit Mode with

the oscillators of the Board Voice already assigned.

1 While holding down the [PLG] key, use Knob [C]

to select the Board Voice’s Bank. “PLG INT” is

the Bank of the Plug-in Voice (Plug-in Internal)

stored in Memory PLG.

2 Release the [PLG] key. Select the Board Voice

using the BANK/PROGRAM keys or [DATA]

knob as in the same way to select a Voice from

another memory.

If there is no Voice at the Program Number

corresponding with the selected Bank, no sound will

be produced.

To edit the Board Voices on the Plug-in Board, you need

to use a computer and the included editor software.

Details about Plug-in Voices and Board Voices are

given on Pages 27, 99.

Many parameters are the same as for Normal Voices

(the gray items in the tree diagram). Only those items

that differ are explained here.

Details about the other parameters are given in the Normal

Voice explanation on Page 64.

Editing Plug-in Board Voices

Plug-in Voices are based on Board Voices. However, the

Board Voices themselves can be edited via computer,

using the included editor software. Different editors

are available for different Plug-in Boards.

When using the editor while the synthesizer is in

Voice Mode, set the “Part No.” in the editor to “1.”

Also, make sure the synthesizer’s Basic Receive

channel is the same as that set in the editor’s MIDI

channel.

Your edits made to a Board Voice will be retained in

the Custom Bank until you turn off the instrument.

Note that the Custom Bank is a temporary memory so

that edits in the Bank will be erased when you turn off

the instrument. Therefore, it may be necessary to save

Board Voice data using a computer.

Details about how to use the editor are given in the

on-line help.

When bulk-dumping Board Voice data, the edited

Board Voices is received in the Custom Bank

according to the Bank Select Message (MSB/LSB)

unique to each Plug-in Board. Therefore, to play

back these Board Voices, you need to select the

appropriate Banks in the synthesizer.

1 In Voice Play Mode, select any Voice in a Plug-in

Memory (PLG).

2 The Board Voice you have edited can now be

played back if a Custom Bank has been selected at

this screen.

For details about Custom Banks, Bank Select

Numbers (MSB/LSB) and Board Voices, refer to the

Owner’s Manual or the on-line help that came with

your Plug-in Board.

Once you have transmitted the edited Board Voice

data to the synthesizer and saved it to Memory Card

as a “plugin” file type, you can load the file without

having to connect the computer.

If a Board Voice in the Custom Bank has been edited

in Voice Edit Mode, you can store it as a Plug-in

Voice in Memory Bank A to D of PLG. Up to 64

can be stored in PLG MEMORY.

However, only the Voice Edit parameters can be

stored. The edited Board Voice parameters cannot

be stored. Therefore, you will lose all Board Voice

edits when you switch your synthesizer off.

After loading Board Voice data, if you select Plug-in

Voice Memory (PLG) A to D, the stored sound (the

edited Plug-in Voice based on the Board Voice) is

loaded.

The “all” setting is not available when saving Board

Voice data; it is saved as a “plugin” file type. If the

file name is set such that the file loads automatically

(Page 136), the Board Voice data can also be loaded

up when the synthesizer is switched on.

It may take a while to save or load the Board Voice

data using Memory Card.

Details about saving/loading data to/from Memory

Card are given on Page 137.

The editor for the Plug-in Board is a plug-in

program for XGworks(lite). You will need to be

running Windows and XGworks(lite) in order to

use it. XGworks lite is included on the CD-ROM

included with this synthesizer.

VCE Initialize

You can reset (initialize) all parameters of a Voice to

their default settings. You can also selectively initialize

certain parameters, such as Common settings, settings

for each Element/Drum Key, and so on. Note that this

does not return the Voice to its original state prior to

editing. Instead, it is useful when building a

completely new Voice from scratch.

■ Select type of parameter to Initialize

Use Knob [C], the [DATA] knob or the [DEC/NO]

VCE Edit Recall

If you are editing a Voice but you do not store it before

switching to another Voice, the edits you have made

will be cleared. In such a situation, you can use the

Recall function to reinstate the edits for the Voice.

VCE Copy

You can copy Common and Element/Drum Key

parameter settings from any Voice to the Voice you are

editing. This is useful if you are creating a Voice and

wish to use some parameter settings from another

Voice.

This function is not used for copying whole Voices from

one location to another. It is used for copying parameter

settings from an existing Voice to the current Voice you are

Performance Play

In Performance Play Mode, multiple Voices (up to four

Parts) can be layered to create thick sounds which you

can play in real-time or using a sequencer.

In Performance Mode, up to 17 Parts can be combined in

a single Performance, including Voices for the 16 Parts

plus Plug-in Part.

Depending on the Performance Edit settings (Page 106),

you can assign a Normal Voice or Drum Voice (Drum Kit)

to each Part. Multiple Parts can be assigned to the same

MIDI channel for real-time playback. Alternatively, you

can assign each Part to a different MIDI channel for

playback using an external sequencer or the synthesizer’s

internal sequencer (in Sequence Play Mode).

The synthesizer can hold up to 192 Performances,

consisting of 128 Internal Performances plus another 64

External Performances on Memory Card.

The displayed screens, the method of selecting

Performances and the Multi Part Edit process in

Performance Play Mode are explained here.

If a multitimbral Plug-in board is installed, up to 32 Parts

can be combined in a single Performance. However, the

settings for the Plug-in Parts cannot be stored in memory.

An overview of Performances is given on Page 34.

Performance Play Mode Display

■ 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 for you or not, beforehand.

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 the metal parts 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.

Conversely speaking, 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.

■ Burglarproof Lock

This instrument is equipped with a burglarproof lock

for the Memory Card. If necessity arises, mount the

burglarproof lock onto the instrument.

To mount the burglarproof lock:

1 Remove the metallic part using a Phillips screwdriver.

2 Turn the metallic part upside down and then

mount it again.

In Card Mode, you can use Memory Card, a SmartMedia™ card

available at a consumer electronics shop, etc., to save or load

data from/to the instrument or perform other data exchange

operations between memories on the instrument and the Card.

Using 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.

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 five types of Memory Cards:

2MB/4MB/8MB/16MB/32MB. A Memory Card with the

memory capacity exceeding 32MB can also be used if it

conforms to the standards of SSFDC (Solid State Memory

Card Card: another name of SmartMedia) Forum.

■ 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:

Make sure to turn the instrument off and pull the Memory

Card out of the slot.

Always the instrument must be turned off before

removing the Memory Card.

However, if the Memory Card's memory is full and you

want to exchange it with a new one to save your

currently edited data, follow the following procedure:

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.

* It includes saving, loading, formatting, deleting and

making directory. 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.

■ SMF (Standard MIDI Files)

Format 0 Standard MIDI Files (SMFs) can be played

back in Song Mode. However, they cannot be saved.

❏ Extension: “.MID”

The SMF is a standardized sequence file format used by

musical instrument manufacturers, computer software

companies and other parties. An SMF can easily be

exchanged between SMF-compatible sequencers,

regardless of the manufacturer. The following two

types of SMF exist, though this synthesizer will only

play back Format 0 SMFs.

• Format 0:

Data for multiple MIDI channels is contained within a

single track.

• Format 1:

Data for multiple MIDI channels is contained within

multiple tracks.

If the SMF you wish to play back is in Format 1, use the

included Card Filer software to convert to Format 0 via

computer. Details of how to convert SMFs are given in

the Card Filer documentation (in PDF format). Details

about installing the Card Filer software are given in the

separate Installation Guide.

Automatically Loading Files

The synthesizer can automatically load certain files

(All/Plug-in data) when you switch it on.

Name the file to be loaded automatically as follows,

then save it to the highest directory of the Memory

Card. Insert the card into the CARD slot before

switching the synthesizer on.

Data will be loaded automatically and any existing

data in memory will be overwritten. Therefore, you

should save important data to Memory Card (or

other media) beforehand.

To prevent the automatic loading of files, hold down

the [EXIT] key when powering up the synthesizer.

Release the key when the “Now checking plug-in

board.” message is displayed.

■ All (all data):

Name the file “AUTOLOAD.S2A” to automatically

load all data.

■ Plugin (Plug-in data):

Name the file “AUTOLD.S2B” to automatically load

Plug-in Board data.

You will see the 1st screen (Status) when you enter

How to Install the

Optional Plug-in Board

1 Turn the keyboard power off, and disconnect the AC

power adaptor. Also, if the keyboard is connected with

other external device(s), disconnect the device(s).

2 Turn over the keyboard so you can have direct access to

the underside. To protect the Knobs and Wheels, place

the keyboard so the four corners are supported by

something that provides sufficient support like magazines

or cushions.

Be careful not to drop or bump the keyboard and make sure

that it is well balanced before proceeding.

3 Move to a position facing the rear panel of the keyboard,

and remove the screws from the Plug-in board cover at

the bottom left with a coin or phillips screwdriver (six

flat-head screws only). Do not remove the other screws.

n Keep the removed (6) screws in a safe place. They will be used

when attaching the Plug-in board cover to the keyboard again.

MUSIC SYNTHESIZER

Modular Synthesis Plug-in System

Place the supports at all four corners,

without touching the Knobs and the

Wheels.

View of the keyboard

from the bottom.

A variety of optional Plug-in boards sold separately let you

expand the voice library of your instrument. The following

types of Plug-in boards can be used with your instrument.

● PLG150-AN

● PLG150-PF

● PLG100-XG

● PLG150-VL

● PLG150-DX

n See page 27 for detailed explanations for each board.

n PLG100-VH cannot be used.

n Although the PLG100-VL and PLG100-DX can also be installed,

some of the functions are not available.

Precautions When Installing

the Optional Boards

Remember the following precautions and install the Plug-in

boards properly by following the steps as written.

• Handle the Plug-in boards with care. Dropping or

subjecting the Plug-in board to any kind of shock may

cause damage or result in a malfunction.

• Be careful of static electricity. There are times when static

electricity affects the IC chips on the Plug-in board.

Before you lift the optional Plug-in board, to reduce the

possibility of static electricity, touch the metal parts other

than the painted area or a ground wire on the devices that

are grounded.

• Do not touch the exposed metal parts in the circuit board.

Touching these parts may result in a faulty contact.

• When moving a cable, be careful not to let it catch on the

circuit Plug-in board. Forcing the cable in anyway may

cut the cable, cause damage, or result in a malfunction.

• Before starting installation, be sure that you have a coin

or a Phillips screwdriver at hand.

• Be careful not to misplace any of the screws since all of

them are used.

• Do not use any screws other than what are installed on

the instrument.

• When inserting Plug-in boards and connecting cables,

make sure that you check that they are inserted and

connected properly. Improperly inserted Plug-in boards

and cables may cause faulty contacts and an electrical

short circuit which may cause damage or result in a

malfunction.

• After mounting the Plug-in board be sure to tighten the

screws as directed so it is completely stable and does not

move in any way.

WARNING Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: • Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. • If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Use the specified adaptor (PA-5C or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating. • Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. • Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. CAUTION Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: • Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it. • When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. • Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. • Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms. • Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. • Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components. • Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products. • Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors. • Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over. • Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician. ■ REPLACING THE BACKUP BATTERY • This instrument contains a non rechargeable internal backup battery which permits internal data to remain stored even when the power is off. When the backup battery needs replacing, the message "Change internal battery" will display in the LCD. When this happens, immediately back up your data, then have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery. • Do not attempt to replace the backup battery yourself, in order to prevent the possible serious hazards. Always have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery. • Never place the backup battery in a location that a child can reach, since a child might accidentally swallow the battery. If this should happen, consult a physician immediately. ■ SAVING USER DATA • Always save data to a Memory Card (SmartMedia) frequently, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error. • Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables. • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard. (3)-6 Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed. Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use. Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha S30 Music Synthesizer.

You can monitor the same sounds via headphones and at the OUTPUT jacks. 10 You can connect an external MIDI device using a MIDI cable (available separately) and control it from this synthesizer. You can also use an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer to control the synthesizer’s internal sounds. This section introduces several different applications of MIDI. The HOST SELECT switch on the rear panel should be set to “MIDI.” Otherwise, MIDI information will not be transmitted from the synthesizer’s MIDI OUT connector.

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 When a computer is connected, it can be used to control the synthesizer and to transfer synthesizer data to/from computer via MIDI. With the included Voice Editor program, for instance, you can edit the synthesizer’s Voices. Using another program – Card Filer – you can transfer files between the computer and the Memory Card inserted in the synthesizer’s CARD slot. There are two ways to connect your synthesizer to a computer: 1: Serial connection (the computer’s serial port to the synthesizer’s TO HOST terminal) 2: MIDI connection (the computer’s MIDI interface or external MIDI interface to the synthesizer’s MIDI IN and OUT) Different computers require different connections, as follows. 1: Serial Port to TO HOST IBM PC/AT HOST SELECT PC-2 PC-1 MIDI Mac Serial cable TO HOST PS/V Personal System/V MUSIC SYNTHESIZER Modular Synthesis Plug-in System IBM RS-232C (DB9) IBM PC/AT and compatibles S30 Macintosh HOST SELECT PC-2 PC-1 MIDI Mac Serial cable TO HOST MUSIC SYNTHESIZER Modular Synthesis Plug-in System PS422 (Modem or Printer port) S30 12 Personal System/V Apple Macintosh Basics Section 2: MIDI Interface to MIDI IN and OUT Using the computer’s MIDI interface HOST SELECT PC-2 PC-1 MIDI Mac Serial cable MIDI IN MIDI OUT PS/V Personal System/V MUSIC SYNTHESIZER Modular Synthesis Plug-in System MIDI OUT Personal System/V IBM MIDI IN Computer with MIDI interface S30 Using an external MIDI interface MIDI Interface HOST SELECT MIDI OUT PC-2 PC-1 MIDI Mac MIDI IN MIDI IN MIDI OUT MUSIC SYNTHESIZER Modular Synthesis Plug-in System Computer S30 You will need to an appropriate MIDI application (sequencer, editor, etc.) for your computer platform.

Then turn on the every device in your setup in the order of MIDI masters (senders), MIDI slaves (receivers), then audio equipment (mixers, amplifiers, speakers, etc.). This ensures the smooth flow of signals from the first device to the last (first MIDI, then audio). When powering down the setup, first turn down the volume for each audio devices, then switch off each device in the reverse order (first audio devices, then MIDI).

Likewise, always switch off the power of the S30 after switching off the power of the amplified speakers or mixer and amplifier. Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at a minimum level. When not using the S30 for an extended period of time, be sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet. Before you switch your synthesizer on or off, first turn down the volume of any audio equipment connected to it. 1Press the STANDBY/ON switch.

If a new Memory Card (one never used on the instrument) is inserted in the CARD slot, you will see a screen while a basic file is being created in EXT Memory. If you have a Plug-in Board installed, you will see a screen that confirms the presence of the Plug-in Board. The final screen after the power-on sequence may change depending on the Power On Mode setting available Utility Mode (Page 128). 4Turn up the amplifier’s volume as necessary. 5Adjust the synthesizer’s [VOLUME] slider to set an appropriate volume level. About Memory Cards You can save various kinds of data - Voice, Performance, Plug-in, Sequence Chain and so on - onto Memory Card. The built-in CARD slot can accept 3.3-volt Memory Cards (SmartMedia). Before using a Memory Card, read through precautions on how to handle it (Page 135). • Formatting a Memory Card You cannot use a new Memory Card to save files immediately. The card must be formatted in Card Mode (Page 140) beforehand. • Saving and Loading Data You can save various kinds of data as files on a formatted Memory Card. Each file on the card can be loaded when required. You can save and load data such as System, Voice, Performance, Plug-in, Sequence Chain or the like. Since Sequence Chain data is held temporarily in the synthesizer’s buffer memory and will be lost once you switch it off, you need to save such data onto the Memory Card first. Details about formatting a Memory Card, saving and loading data, and the recognized file types are given on Page 136. 15 Basics Section If you have a Memory Card inserted in the instrument’s CARD slot or an optional Plug-in Board installed, you may see other screens before the Voice or Performance Play Mode screen is displayed. Basics Section Basic Operations This section gives some basic explanations about operating the synthesizer. Selecting a Mode There are several operation Modes — Voice Play Mode, Performance Play Mode, etc. — each of which enables you to work efficiently with the synthesizer’s various functions. An overview of each Mode is given on Page 30. There are separate Play Modes for Voices and Performances.

The controllers also send changes. Information from the keyboard and controllers can be transmitted to other external MIDI devices through the MIDI OUT connector. Sequencer Section This section can be used to play back Standard MIDI Files held on Memory Card. The contents of Tracks 1 to 16 correspond to MIDI channels and Parts in a Performance as shown in the following illustration. The sequencer can play back songs with a different Voice assigned to each Part. Tone Generator (Performance Parts) Sequencer Track1 Piano Ch1 Piano Ch1 Track2 Bass Ch2 Bass Ch2 Track3 Strings Ch3 Strings Ch3 Track16 Percussion Ch16 Percussion Ch16 26 This section 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 Voice Mode. Tone Generator Section OSC (Oscillator) Outputs the waveform of each Element. Each Voice consists of up to four Elements. PITCH FILTER Controls the pitch of each Element output from OSC. Changes the tonal quality of each Element output from PITCH. AMP (Amplitude) To Effects Units Controls the output level (amplitude) of each Element output from FILTER. The signals are then sent at this level to the Effects Units. About the Tone Generator The tone generator section in the S30 consists of AWM2 and Plug-in units. 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. AWM2 is not just limited to general musical instruments (Normal Voices). It can also be used for setting up percussive instruments (Drum Voices). Details about Normal and Drum Voices are given on Page 32. Plug-in Boards add more features to the system. When installed, they combine perfectly with the synthesizer’s built-in tone generator section. The following types of Plug-in Board are available, and can be in the synthesizer. These boards are not simply a source of more Voices; they are also tone generators in their own right and extend the system-level specifications such as maximum polyphony. You can play Plug-in Voices just like ordinary internal Voices and use them as Parts in a Performance (Page 93). This synthesizer is compatible with the Modular Synthesis Plug-in System (see next page). There are three types of Modular Synthesis Plug-in System-compatible Plug-in Boards: Single Part, Multi-Part and Effect Plug-in Board. By adding one of the following types of Plug-in Boards to your S30, you can build your own system based on the sounds you require. The PLG100-VH Effect Plug-in Board cannot be used with the S30. Single Part Plug-in Boards • Analog Physical Modeling Plug-in Board (PLG150-AN) Using Analog Physical Modeling (AN) synthesis, the very latest digital technology is used to accurately reproduce the sound of analog synthesizers. With this board installed, you have realtime control over the playback of vintage synthesizer sounds as well as the very latest sounds heard in today’s club-oriented music. • Piano Plug-in Board (PLG150-PF) A massive 16MB of waveform memory is dedicated to the reproduction of piano sounds using AWM2 synthesis. This board offers 136 stereo sounds, including a number of acoustic and electric pianos, and up to 64-note polyphony. 27 Basics Section Tone Generator Section Basics Section • Advanced DX/TX Plug-in Board (PLG150-DX) The sounds of the DX7 are available on this Plug-in Board. Unlike with PCM-based solutions, this does not use sampled waveforms. Instead, it uses the actual FM sound generator engine of the DXseries synthesizers to give a completely faithful reproduction. Sounds are compatible with those of the DX7, and the board can even receive DX7 data via MIDI bulk dump. • Virtual Acoustic Plug-in Board (PLG150-VL) With Virtual Acoustic (VA) synthesis, the sounds of real instruments are modeled (simulated) in real time, giving a degree of realism that cannot be achieved using conventional PCM-based synthesis techniques. When playing these sounds using an optional MIDI Wind Controller (WX5), you can even capture some of the physical feel of woodwind instruments. Multi-Part Plug-in Board • XG Plug-in Board (PLG100-XG) This Plug-in Board is a 16-part XG sound generator. You can play back XG/GM song files using the rich variety of sounds and effects on this board. More Plug-in Boards will be available in future. About MODULAR SYNTHESIS PLUG-IN SYSTEM The Yamaha Modular Synthesis Plug-in System offers powerful expansion and upgrade capabilities for Modular Synthesis-Plug-in-compatible synthesizers, tone generators and sound cards. This enables you to easily and effectively take advantage of the latest and most sophisticated synthesizer and effects technology, allowing you to keep pace with the rapid and multi-faceted advances in modern music production. Maximum Polyphony The maximum sonic polyphony is 64 for AWM2, plus the polyphony of the Plug-in Board (if installed). The actual note polyphony will vary depending on the type of tone generator unit used, the number of Elements in the Voice, and the note polyphony of the Plug-in Board. In the case of AWM2 Voices, the polyphony figure of 64 is divided 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. 28 The effects can be used to change the sound of a Voice or Performance. There are two Insertion Effect Units plus a Reverb Unit (with 12 types of reverb) and a Chorus Unit (with 23 types of chorus). Each of the Insertion Effect units offers a variety of effects, and the units themselves can be connected in parallel or in series. In Voice/Performance Mode, different Effects settings can be assigned to each Voice/Performance, though the way they are connected (series or parallel) varies slightly. As shown in the following illustration, the two Insertion Effect units can be independently switched on or off for each Element in a Voice. So basically, the Insertion Effects can be set on a per Element basis. After being passed through the Insertion Effects, the signals from all individual Elements are mixed and sent to the Reverb and Chorus Units. These Reverb and Chorus Units apply effects to the sound as a whole before it is sent to the outputs, and are therefore known as System Effects. In Performance Mode, the Insertion Effects can be set for two Parts: a Voice Part, plus a Plug-in Part. However, the System Effects (Reverb and Chorus) are not applied to Parts, but to the Performance as a whole.

Each Element itself uses a high-quality waveform. Voice Element 1~4 Element Wave form AWM2: 553 Preset waveforms Internally, there are two Voice Types: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. Normal Voices are mainly musical instrument-type 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. A collection of Drum Voice assignments is known as a Drum Kit. If you have installed an optional Plug-in Board, there will be more Voices for you to choose from. These Voices are known as Plug-in Voices, and will vary depending on the Plug-in Board you have installed (Page 27). The Note Limit settings (Page 75) will also affect the allocation of sounds. But basically, Normal Voices (of up to four Elements) are playable across the whole keyboard range whereas with Drum Voices, any of 73 different Waves can be assigned to each Drum Key on the keyboard. Normal Voice Drum Voice Voice Element 1~4 wave 1 wave 2 wave 3 wave 4 wave 5 wave 73 A total of eight Drum Voices (DR1 to DR8) are available as presets. You can also create your own Drum Voices and save them to internal (User) memory or to external memoly (Memory Card), just as with Normal Voices. 32 Waves are waveforms used as Elements that make up a Voice. 553 high quality preset Waves are available. As shown in the following illustration, when creating a Voice, you can select the Wave to be used as an Element and then set its level, pitch, tone and other parameters. wave 1~553 Element1 Element2 Element3 Element4 C-2 G8 Voice 33 Basics Section Waves Basics Section Performances A Performance consists of up to 17 Parts, each of which can a Normal Voice, Drum Voice or Plug-in Part. By switching on the Layer Switch parameter for different Parts (up to four), you can play back rich layered sounds in Performance Play Mode. You can also create splits so that different Parts are assigned to different areas of the keyboard. If you assign a different MIDI channel number to each Part, each track of a sequencer can play back a different Part. Performance Part 1~16 Plug-in Part Multiple Layered Voices Layer Switch set to “on” Performance Part 1~16 Plug-in Part Song MIDI CH 1~16 CH1 Different Voice For Each part Sequencer CH16 In Performance Mode, several different Voices (Parts) can be layered to create rich textures. However, this can cause note response to become slower under some circumstances. 34 Many features of this synthesizer make it ideal for live performances. These features are explained here. 2 Using the Controllers (Page 38) 1 Using the Arpeggiator (Page 36) A wide variety of arpeggio patterns can be created automatically by just holding down a set of notes on the keyboard. You can specify the sound and the note range within which the arpeggiator is active, then use your left hand to hold down the notes being arpeggiated while using your right hand to play a melody line. The Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel and Control Sliders can be freely assigned to control various sound parameters in real time. By connecting an optional Foot Controller or Foot Switch, you can also use your feet to control parameters, to change Program Number, and so on (Page 43). Also, you can assign parameters to Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1] and [2] on the front panel below the LCD. Rear Panel MUSIC SYNTHESIZER Modular Synthesis Plug-in System The parameters for these features can be stored per Voice/Performance. 35 Basics Section Ideal for Playing Live Basics Section 1 Arpeggiator 2Turn Knob [A] fully anti-clockwise until Common is displayed on the bottom line. Voice Edit Mode consists of two different Edit screens: Common Edit (for parameters common to all Drum keys/Elements) and Drum key/Element Edit. The Arpeggiator parameters are found in the Common Edit screens that you have now selected. The arpeggiator is particularly suited to dance/techno music genres. You can assign any of 128 Arpeggio Types to each Voice, Performance and adjust the tempo. You can also set the Arpeggio Mode (the way in which the arpeggio is played back when you press a note) and Play Effects to create your own original grooves. Arpeggio information can be transmitted through the MIDI Out.

Mainly octave up/down phrases. Ph (Phrase): Creates more musical phrases than Sq. Starting with “Techno,” there are phrases for a wide variety of musical genres, and for creating backing tracks for guitar, piano and other instruments. Dr (Drum Pattern): Creates drum pattern-type phrases. Phrase genres covered include rock and dance. This Type is ideal for use with drum and percussion sounds. Ct (Control): Creates tonal changes. No note information is created. The Key Mode parameter in Arpeggio Mode must be set to “direct.” 1Press the [EDIT] key in Voice Play Mode. You will enter Voice Edit Mode at the screen where you previously exited. MODE PLAY/ STOP PAGE Switch off Arpeggio Types are divided into the four following categories and applications are not just limited to drum patterns. You can also select Arpeggio Types for backing chords, basslines and so on. Selecting the Arpeggio Type JOB DATA 4Use Knob [B] to jump to the Type parameter. Now use Knob [B], the [DATA] knob or the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] keys to select the desired Arpeggio Type. Let’s choose “BigBeat2” here. The on/off state of the Arpeggiator can be stored (Pages 101, 124) for each Voice/Performance. EDIT 2 If you use the [PAGE] knob while holding down the [SHIFT] key, a menu will be displayed. You can quickly jump to the ARP screen by using the [PAGE] knob to move the cursor to the ARP item in the menu, then releasing the [SHIFT] key(Page 65). If the Arpeggiator switch is already enabled for the Voice/Performance, this means that the Arpeggiator will be ready for use whenever you select the Voice/Performance. SEQ PLAY 1 PART/ELEMENT To select the Preset Drum, press the MEMORY [PRE2] key while holding down the MEMORY [PRE1] key and press a PROGRAM key.

Alternatively, you can set this parameter by pressing the note (say, E3) on the keyboard while holding down the [SHIFT] key. Similarly, the lowest note in the range can be set using Knob [1], or by pressing the note while holding down the [SHIFT] key. Only notes within the Note Limit range will be arpeggiated. Therefore, if the notes you play are not arpeggiated, they may be outside this range. Details about the Note Limit settings are given later.

Setting the Note Limit Using the Note Limit parameter, let’s set up a Normal Voice (say, Voice Program Number 098:G02 of Internal:champ) such that the Arpeggiator is enabled in the lower part of the keyboard but the upper part can be used to play melody lines. You’ll need to have already set the Arpeggio Type (say, MuteLine). The Note Limit parameters in Performance Mode are different to those in Voice Mode, and notes outside the set range will not sound. The Arpeggiator Switch parameter (Page 117) for each Part should be set to “on,” except for the Part which you wish to use to play the melody. Then, if necessary, use the Note Limit parameter (Page 117) to restrict the keyboard range for that Part. 37 Basics Section 1The Note Limit parameters can be set in the ARP Limit screen, which follows immediately after the ARP Type screen mentioned in step 3 (earlier). Use the [PAGE] knob to switch to the screen. Using the Arpeggiator Basics Section 2 Using Controllers Following the example in this manual, if you select Voice Program Number 098(G02) of INT, Portamento is already set for this Voice. Use the PORTAMENTO knob and [ON/OFF] keys to change the portamento time and switch portamento on/off (Page 69). The S30 is equipped with Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels. Either of the S30 is equipped with front panel Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1] and [2], with which you can control many different parameters. Using the Arpeggiator Hold With Arpeggiator Hold switched on, the arpeggiator will continue to play back, even after you have released your fingers from the notes on the keyboard. The same arpeggio pattern will be played back until you press another set of notes on the keyboard. Pitch Bend Wheel This wheel’s prime function is to control pitch. Roll the wheel upward/downward to bend the pitch upward/downward. The effect can also be reversed. You can switch Arpeggiator Hold on/off by using Knob [2] to change the Hold parameter of the ARP Type screen. Pitch Up With Arpeggio Hold switched on, the Arpeggiator continues to play back after releasing the keyboard, leaving your left hand free to perform other tasks, such as adjusting the sliders. Pitch Down Pitch Bend Wheel ARPíType) Type Tempo Common BigBeat2:Dr≥ 127 Switch on Modulation Wheel Hold on Pitch Bend Range can be set for each Voice. The wheel can also be assigned other parameters (Page 69). Even if a different parameter is assigned to the wheel, Pitch Bend messages are still transmitted through the MIDI Out when it is being used. Modulation Wheel The more you roll this wheel upwards, the greater the modulation that is applied to the sound. Deeper Pitch Bend Wheel Modulation Wheel Modulation depth can also be set beforehand. Also, the wheel can be assigned different parameters, such as Volume or Pan (Page 69). 38 Foot Controller In Voice/Performance Play Mode, Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1] and [2] can be used as real-time controllers. Knobs [A], [B] and [C] are assigned to control the equalizer gain of, respectively, EQ Low, EQ Mid and EQ Hi. With Knobs [1] and [2], you are free to assign different parameters per Voice. An optional Foot Controller (such as the FC7), connected to the FOOT CONTROLLER jack (Page 13) on the rear panel, can be assigned a number of controller parameters. 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 if you are playing live. VCE Play) PRE1:128(H16)[Pf:GrandPiano] EQ Low EQ Mid EQ Hi Cutoff RevTime SHIFT PAGE A B C 1 2 Foot Controller parameters can be set for each Voice. DATA Foot Switch PART/ELEMENT An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch connected to the rear panel FOOT SWITCH jack (Page 13) can be assigned to a range of parameters. It is suited for a switch-type (on/off) controls such as Portamento Switch, increment/decrement of a Voice or Performance Number, start/stop of the Sequencer, holding Arpeggiator on or off. The Foot Switch is not well suited for continuous control. You could also use it to switch to between different Voices or Performances If you turn any knob clockwise, the value assigned to it is incremented. Conversely, the value is decremented if you turn it the other way. Common system parameters are assigned to Knobs [A],[B] and [C] (Pages 41, 129). Voice-specific parameters are assigned to Knobs [1] and [2] (Pages 42, 69). A preset of suitable parameter settings is assigned to each Voice. By using each knobs [1] and [2], you are in effect adjusting these settings by a certain amount. If these parameters are already preset at their minimum or maximum settings, the settings cannot be exceeded. The parameter assigned to the Foot Switch is set in the CTRL Other screen of Utility Mode (Pages 43, 129). In any Edit Mode, Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1] and [2] are used for entering parameter settings on screen (Page 19). Control Sliders In Performance Mode, if Master Keyboard Mode is enabled, you can use the four Control Sliders to control the functions assigned to each zone. Details are given on Pages 56 and 122. VOLUME CONTROL SLIDER 1 2 3 4 39 Basics Section Knobs [A]/[B]/[C]/[1]/[2] Aftertouch Basics Section By creating Control Sets, you can change sounds in a variety of ways. Aftertouch lets you, for example, add vibrato to a sound by applying further pressure to a note on the keyboard while it is being held down. This allows real-time expression and control. Aftertouch can be used to control a wide variety of parameters (Page 69). For example, set the Src (Source) parameter of Control Set 1 to MW (Modulation Wheel) and the Dest (Destination) parameter to ELFO-PM (Element LFO Pitch Modulation Depth). Then set the Src parameter of Control Set 2 also to MW, but set the Dest parameter to ELM PAN (Element Pan). You will also need to specify the Element to be controlled and also the depth (amount) of control. Control Sets Aside from their default parameters, keyboard aftertouch, the controllers and some of the knobs on the front panel can be assigned with various parameters, as explained on Page 38. For example, you could assign Resonance to the Modulation Wheel and set aftertouch to apply vibrato. You are free to assign parameters to suit the kind of sound being played. In this example, when you move the Modulation Wheel upward, the amount of Pitch Modulation increases accordingly, the Element is panned from left to right. So in other words, you can assign several Dest parameters to each Src controller. SET 1 These controller assignments are known as Control Sets. As the following illustration shows, you can assign up to six different Control Sets per Voice. Within each Control Set, the controller is known as the Source (Src) and the parameter controlled by the Source is known as the Destination (Dest). There are various Dest parameters available; some will apply to the Voice as a whole, while some will be specific to each of its Elements. Details are given in the Controls List of the separate Data List. Src Sw MW (Modulation Wheel) MW (Modulation Wheel) Dest Param Dest Param ELFO-PM ELM PAN Now, Pitch Modulation is assigned to both the Modulation Wheel and Foot Controller. In other words, you can also assign several Src controllers to each Dest parameter.

Continuing from the example above, now create another Control Set where Src is set to FC (Foot Controller) and Dest is set to ELFO-PM (Element LFO Pitch Modulation Depth). Again, specify the Element to be controlled and also the depth of control. Details about the available Dest parameter settings are given in the Destination Parameter List of the separate Data List. Control Sets 1~6 SET 2 Src Sw Dest Dest ELFO-PM ELFO-PM You can control the pitch modulation effect using either of Modulation Wheel (MW) and Foot Controller (FC). By assigning all six Control Sets, you will have a stunning degree of real-time control over the synthesizer’s sounds. The Element Switches (Page 70) will be disabled if the Dest parameter setting is not specific for Elements (i.e., for settings 00 to 33). 40 Assigning Parameters to Knobs [A], [B] and [C] In a Control Set, the controllers are assigned to the internal parameters of the synthesizer. However, some controllers were originally designed for a particular purpose, and send predefined MIDI Control Change messages when used, regardless of their Control Set allocations within the synthesizer. For example, the Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel and keyboard aftertouch were originally designed to control pitch bend, modulation and aftertouch. Therefore, when you use these controllers, pitch bend, modulation and aftertouch information is always sent to the MIDI Out. Let’s say the Pan parameter is assigned to the Pitch Bend Wheel in a Control Set. Now, when you move the Pitch Bend Wheel, the internal tone generator of the synthesizer will pan the sound but at the same time, the original predefined Pitch Bend messages will still be sent to the MIDI Out. The following procedure explains how you can assign a desired parameter to Knob [A], [B] or [C]. You can assign any parameters that are common throughout the system (for all Play Modes) and any MIDI Control Change Numbers. In the example, Knob [A] will be set up to control Reverb Return.

The controllers can also send MIDI Control Change messages to control the parameters of external MIDI devices. These assignments are found in the VOICE (Vce) CTRL Assign1/2 screen of Utility Mode. CTRL KnobA) Sys SHIFT As Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel and keyboard aftertouch is pre-defined with specific MIDI controls, you cannot assign MIDI Control Changes. PAGE A B CC# 01[ModWheel] C Dest REV-Rtn 1 2 DATA PART/ELEMENT Now you can use Knob [A] for on-the-fly control of the Reverb Return level in Voice/Performance Play Mode. Note that you can also send (by turning Knob [A]) or receive Control Change messages with the Controller Number set in the CC# parameter through MIDI In and Out. You can also set up a controller such that it sends one kind of Control message to the synthesizer’s internal tone generator yet another kind to the MIDI Out. For example, in a Control Set you could assign resonance to Assignable Knob [1]. Then, in the VOICE CTRL Assign2 screen of Utility Mode, you could assign Control Change Number 1 (Modulation) to the same knob. Now, when you turn the knob, resonance will be applied to the sound of the internal tone generator but at the same time, modulation information will be sent to the external MIDI device connected to the MIDI Out. This aspect of the synthesizer makes it ideal for use as a master controller for controlling external MIDI devices. Add an optional Foot Controller for even more control. For assignable parameters, refer to “System Controller Destination Parameters” in the separate Data List. 41 Basics Section Control Sets and External MIDI Control Basics Section 5 Use Knob [C] to assign PCH-Crs (Pitch:Coarse) to the Dest (Destination) parameter. Assigning Parameters to Knobs [1] and [2] The following procedure explains how you can assign a desired parameter to Knob [1] or [2]. You can assign controllers to each Voice (or Part in a Performance). Control Settings can be assigned as a Control Set, and a each Controller can be used to control multiple parameters (although this varies according to the type of Voice). Here we introduce an example of how to set up Control Set 1 for Internal Voice 001 (A01) by assigning PCHCrs (Pitch: Coarse) to Knob [1].

If you select this Performance in Performance Play Mode, turning each knob left or right will switch its respective parameter off or on, respectively. (The Arpeggiator responds to notes below C3 on the keyboard.) Using Knob [1]/[2] To Control the Arpeggio You can assign Arpeggiator ON/OFF and Hold functions to Knob [1]/[2] (Performance Mode). The following is an explanation of how to do this. In the example, we use Internal Performance 075 (E11), and assign Arpeggio Hold to Knob [1] and Arpeggio ON/OFF to Knob [2]. If you do not wish to control the Destination parameter of the Voice, enter Performance Edit Mode, switch to the RCV Sw2 screen of Performance Part Edit, then set the parameters for Knobs [1] and [2] to “off.” 1 Press the [UTILITY] key to enter Utility Mode. In Performance Mode, to use the Arpeggiator for Parts which have their Layer parameter (Layer Switch) set to “on,” their Arp parameter (Arpeggio Switch) also has to be set to “on.” (Page 117) 2 Use the [PAGE] knob to switch to the MIDI Arp screen. 44 Basics Section Voice Edit 1 Selecting a Voice to Edit There are 256 Normal Voice presets and 8 Drum Voice presets.

You can assign different settings for each Element. With these parameters, you can layer Elements and control their output. 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. • EFF (Common Effect) These are the Effects parameters for the Voice.

There are several types of filters, but its basic idea is similar. As illustrated below, the filter is used to pass overtones at specific frequencies and cut off (does not pass) others, to alter the harmonic factor of an original waveform. You can determine such frequencies by specifying a pointing or center frequency (cutoff frequency). With some filters, you can adjust signal levels at several frequency bands. 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 introduce how FEG works.

Level Cutoff range • PEG (Pitch Envelope Generator) Using the PEG, you can control the transition in pitch from the moment a note is pressed on the keyboard to the point at which it is released. As illustrated below, the Pitch Envelope consists of five Time (transition speed) parameters and five Level (pitch) parameters. This is useful for creating automatic changes in pitch. Furthermore, different PEG parameters can be set for each Element.

The signal of each Element is sent at the specified volume to the next Effect Unit. Also, by setting the AEG (Amplitude Envelope Generator), you can control how the volume changes over time. As its name suggests, the LFO creates 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, although the actual available LFO parameters will vary according to the type of Element.

Details about storing Voices are given on Page 101. 49 Basics Section 7 AMP (Amplitude) and AEG (Amplitude EG) Screens Basics Section Effects Effects in Voice Mode In the final stages of programming, you can set the effects parameters to further change the sound’s character. To generalize, System Effects apply to the overall sound, whether it is a Voice, a Performance, a Song, etc. Insertion Effects, on the other hand, can be applied individually to each Voice. This synthesizer has two System Effect Units (Reverb and Chorus) plus two Insertion Effect Units. When using a Plug-in Board (PLG) installed on the instrument, you can also use a separate Insertion Effect Unit that is dedicated for the Plug-in Part. In Voice Mode, you can set up the effect type and its value for each Effect Unit (Reverb, Chorus and Insertion Effects) and store them with each Voice. Furthermore, you can determine that each Element connects or bypasses the Insertion Effect Units. When you connect an Element to Insertion Effects, you can also specify the connecting way of two Units (series or parallel, as illustrated below). The combined signal from all Voice Elements — after application of the Insertion Effects — is sent to the Reverb and Chorus System Effect Units. Different effects settings can be set per Voice (in Voice Mode) and per Performance (in Performance Mode), though the connection between the Effect Units will vary in each case. When you want to use Plug-in Voices from a Plug-in Board attached, you can also set up a dedicated Insertion Effect Unit for each Plug-in Voice. In this case, a Plug-in Voice signals processed with the Insertion Effect Unit will be then routed to Reverb and Chorus Units. Reverb Unit Connection The Reverb Unit includes a selection of 12 different reverb-type effects, including realistic simulations of the natural reverberation found in various halls and rooms. In Voice Mode, Reverb settings can be set for each Voice. In Performance Mode, the Reverb settings will apply to the Performance as a whole. EP1:EP2 Insertion Effects Voice Element 1~4 1 EP1➞EP2 EP2➞EP1 1 2 1 2 1 2 2 OFF Reverb Chorus Chorus Unit The Chorus Unit includes a selection of 23 chorus-type effects, including a flanger and others. Most of these effects are ideal for adding thickness to the sound. In Voice Mode, Chorus settings can be set for each Voice. In Performance Mode, the Chorus settings will apply to the Performance as a whole. Plug-in Voice THRU Insertion Effects Effects in Performance Mode In Performance Mode, you can use an Insertion Effects setting “borrowed” from ones respectively stored with Voices (Parts) . For a Plug-in Part, you can select and use an Insertion Effect setting “borrowed” from ones respectively stored with Plug-in Voices. For Reverb and Chorus, you can create new settings dedicated for an entire Performance, without “borrowing” existing Reverb and Chorus settings stored with a Voice. Insertion Effects The Insertion Effect 1 Unit includes 24 effects including chorus, flanger and auto-wah. The Insertion Effect 2 Unit offers delays, reverbs, rotary speaker, amp simulation and other effects, providing a total of 92 effects. If a Plug-in Board has been installed, up to 24 Insertion Effects for the Plug-in Voices will also be available. Details about each Effect Type are given in the Effect Type List in the separate Data List. In the following illustration, a mixer represents the logic behind how the different effects are applied to the sound in Performance Mode. Each Part (1 to 16) is fed to the mixer through either Insertion Effect 1 or Insertion Effect 2. The signals for all Parts are summed in the mixer and then the System Effects (Reverb and Chorus) are applied to the mix as a whole. 50 Basics Section System Effects Mixer Reverb Chorus Insertion Effect 1/2 1 2 3 4 5 6 16 Part 1~16 Effect Bypass You can temporarily switch effects off or on by pressing the [EF BYPASS] key.

When you press the [EF BYPASS] key, its LED will light and all Effects assigned to the currently selected Voice/Performance will be bypassed. EF BYPASS EXIT MASTER KEYBOARD ENTER DEC/NO INC/YES The Effect Bypass will also apply to Effects on Plug-in Boards other than the PLG100 series. 51 Basics Section Using as a Master Keyboard (Performance Mode) As previously explained, your Synthesizer provides several convenient features that you can make use of in a live show or the like. Here we introduce some examples to combine those features to meet your specific purposes. 1Press the [PERFORM] key, followed by the [EDIT] key (each LED will light) to enter Performance Edit Mode. Then, press the [MASTER KEYBOARD] key to activate Master Keyboard Mode (its LED will light). The S30 has special settings in Performance Mode so that you can use the instrument as MIDI master keyboard. You can activate the function (enable those special settings) when you press the [MASTER KEYBOARD] key on the panel (its LED will light). Now your instrument can send performance on the keyboard to an external tone generator, as well as the internal tone generator, according to the master keyboard settings in Performance Mode. If you divide the keyboard into several (up to four) key ranges and assign separate MIDI transmit channels, the keyboard can control multiple parts (channels) from the internal tone generator and external MIDI devices of those channels at the same time. There are three Master Keyboard Modes (how to make key ranges) available: Split, 4 Zones, and Layer. You can learn these Master Keyboard Modes and their functional differences in the following examples. 2Select “Common” using the Knob [A], then open the General Master Keyboard (GEN M. Kbd) page using the [PAGE] knob. GENíM.Kbd) Mode Common split Point C 3 3Select “split” for the Mode parameter using the Knob [B]. If Master Keyboard Mode is deactivated (without the [MASTER KEYBOARD] key pressed), the Mode parameter value will be shown in brackets (like “(split)”). 4Select the value (split point) for the Point parameter using the Knob [2], which determines the key note that divide the keyboard into two sections. Select “C3” for this example. You can specify the split point by directly pressing a specific key on the keyboard while holding down the [SHIFT] key. In this example, press C3 while holding down the [SHIFT] key. The illustration below shows an example of a Split configuration. Split is a typical setting to divide a keyboard into two key ranges (lower and upper) by splitting at a specific key note (split point). The following example is to split the keyboard at C3 note, enabling the lower range for automatic performance with Arpeggiator and the upper range for manual solo performance. You can make this configuration in the following steps. Split point (C3) Upper ch02 Turning the [PAGE] knob while holding down the [SHIFT] key enables you to scroll though parameters in the Menu screens (page 106). Split Lower Lower ch01 5Specify MIDI transmit channels respectively for the lower and upper key ranges using the Knob [C] (lower) and the Knob [1] (upper). These settings can make MIDI-channel-based separate controls of the internal tone generator or an external MIDI devices from the keyboard, such as using different Voice tones in the lower and upper key ranges. Select “ch01” for “Lower” and “ch02” for “Upper” for this example. Upper You can also use the [PROGRAM/PART 1 to 16] keys to select MIDI channels for the Lower and Upper ranges. (Page 108) 6Select a Part for the lower range using the Knob [A]. For this example, select “Part01”.

A Split setting can divides the entire keyboard into two absolute sections (key ranges). In a 4-zone setting, however, each section can overlap to one another. You can even set a section to cover or include other sections. In the following example, Zone 1 is set up for performance by the Arpeggiator, Zone 2 for bass sound, Zone 3 manual solo performance, and Zone 4 for playing an external MIDI tone generator. Also in this settings, Zones 3 and 4 overlap in the same range, and entire performance in four all zones is output from the MIDI OUT connector so that you can record that performance on an external MIDI sequencer. You can make this configuration in the following steps. RcvCh 1 9Turn the [PAGE] knob and open the ARP Type (Arpeggio Type) page.

In the example above, the “RcvCh” values for Part 3 to 16 must be set to any other than 1 and 2. Recording entire performance in Zones 1 to 4 An external MIDI sequencer In Performance Edit Mode, you can make detailed settings for every Part. In case that a Part does not sound, make sure the volume setting for that Part. For more information, refer to page 115. Before you set up a 4-Zone configuration in the following procedure, edit and prepare necessary Voices (for Arpeggiator and manual play) in their associated Edit Modes. 1Press the [PERFORM] key, followed by the [EDIT] key (each LED will light) to enter Performance Edit Mode. Then, press the [MASTER KEYBOARD] key to activate Master Keyboard Mode (the LED will light). !Before exiting Performance Edit Mode, store above settings in a Performance.

If you limit a Zone’s key range to two octaves, it is as if you connect an external two-octaves keyboard controller to play with the tone generator. Meanwhile, the key range (playable range) of an entire Voice is determined by “Note Limit” in the LYR Limit screen (page 117) for a Part assigned with that Voice. Such a playable range of each Element of a Voice is determined by “Note Limit” in the OSC Limit screen (page 75) available in Voice Edit Mode. You can set additional Part settings in Performance Edit Mode. If you have a trouble possibly associated with these settings, such as no sound from a specific Part, confirm any Part settings related to volume, etc. Refer to page 115 for more information about Part settings. 9Before exiting Performance Edit Mode, store above settings in a Performance. For storing a Performance, refer to page 124. About the Control Sliders In Performance Play Mode, recall the Performance you have just saved. Simply pressing the [MASTER KEYBOARD] key activates or deactivates the Layer configuration you made above. While Master Keyboard Mode is turned on, the Control Sliders [1] to [4] on the front panel are respectively linked to Zones 1 to 4. When these Sliders, for instance, are set to control volumes for their corresponding Zones, you can use them like a mixer’s channel faders to balance volumes of Zones. These Sliders can separately work so that you can assign a different control function to each of them (volume for Zone 1, pan for Zone 2, etc.). You can make such assignments in the MKB Assign screen (Page 122) in Performance Edit Mode. Besides the Layer/Zone configuration in Master Keyboard Modes, you can use the Layer Switch (Layer) for each Part to make a Layer configuration that consists of up to four Parts (Page 117).

Details are given on Page 115. Performance Mode lets you use your synthesizer 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 Performance 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 Performance 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.

Set the Mode parameter to “poly” (polyphonic), the Layer parameter to “off,” and the RcvCh parameter (MIDI receive channel) to 2. By following steps 2 to 5 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 synthesizer which then plays the Voice for the Part assigned to MIDI channel 2. Tone generator section 6Repeat steps 2 to 5 above, but set up Part 3 for bass and to receive on MIDI channel 3. Computer (sequencer software) 7Repeat steps 2 to 5 again, setting up Part 10 for drums and to receive on MIDI channel 10. S30 The synthesizer’s internal sequencer can be used to play back the song file. The included XGworks lite computer sequencer software can also be used for this, though you need to make sure that the computer has been connected to your synthesizer correctly (Page 12). 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.” There are many other Part-specific parameters in Performance Edit Mode. Details are given on Page 106. 1After pressing the [PERFORM] key, press the [EDIT] key (the respective LEDs will light). You are now in Performance Edit Mode. 8Before exiting Performance Edit Mode, you need to store the settings for the Performance. Details about storing Performances are given on Page 124. Before entering Performance Edit Mode, you need to select a Performance for editing. Also make sure that the [MASTER KEYBOARD] key LED is not lit. Now, when you select this Performance in Performance Play Mode, you can play back the song file on computer (sequencer) or internal sequencer, and the piano, bass and drum Parts will be played back according to each track’s MIDI channel. 2Use Knob [A] to select Parts. Here, you can select Part 2 for the piano, Part 3 for bass and Part 10 for drums.

Regarding settings, the important points are as follows. • In the Performance created earlier, Parts 2, 3 and 10 were being used. As an example, we will now assign another Part (Part 1) to a solotype Voice. • At the LYR Mode screen, set the Layer parameter for Part 1 to “on,” and make sure it is set to “off” for Parts 2, 3 and 10. If you want to manually play multiple (up to four) Parts using some Voices from Parts 4 to 9, 11 to 16 and a Plug-in Part, set those Parts’ Layer Switch parameters to “on.” • At the GEN MIDI screen, set the LayerCh (Layer Channel) parameter to BasicCh. The Voice for Part 1 can now be played live using the keyboard. When you play a song file bearing the XG/GM logo (available in the market), you may want to install an optional XG Plug-in Board on the instrument, to enjoy a best playback quality with a wide variety of Voices and Effects. Note that you can install an additional XG Plug-in Board to double polyphonic notes and Effects. In such cases, you do not only enjoy the playback of a song, but also can mute a specific Part from the song file for a “minus-one” setting, which is convenient for practice of solo performance. 58 Reference Section Voice Play Memory/Voice Program Number PRE1 refers to Preset 1, PRE2 to Preset 2, PRE to Preset Drums, INT to Internal, EXT to External and PLG to Plug-in Board.

QED Level (Quick Edit Level) These parameters control the output level (volume) and pan position of the Voice. ❏ Settings: mono, poly QEDíLevel) C 1234 ■ Assign If you set Key Assign to “single,” the doubled playback of the same note is prevented. The synthesizer will terminate a note when the same note is received again. If you select “multi,” the synthesizer will consecutively assign each instance of the same received note to a separate channel, making multiple part tone generation possible. ❏ Settings: 0 ~ 127 ■ Pan Set the stereo pan position of the Voice. ❏ Settings: L63 (Left) ~ C (Center) ~ R63 (Right) ■ RevSend (Reverb Send) Set the Send level of the signal sent from Insertion Effect 1/2 (or the bypassed signal) to the Reverb effect. ■ MicroTuning Set the Micro Tuning (tuning system, or temperament) used for the Voice. Normally you would use “Equal Temperament” but there are also 31 other tuning systems available. ❏ Settings: 0 ~ 127 ❏ Settings: (see the following list) Type 00 Equal temperament 01~12 Pure major Key ■ ChoSend (Chorus Send) Set the Send level of the signal sent from Insertion Effect 1/2 (or the bypassed signal) to the Chorus effect. Comments The “compromise” tuning used for most of the last 200 years of Western music, and found on most electronic keyboards. Each half step is exactly 1/12 of an octave, and music can be played in any key with equal ease. However, none of the intervals are perfectly in tune. C~B Pan RevSend ChoSend C 127 127 ■ Vol (Volume) Set the output level of the Voice. ❏ Settings: single, multi No. Vol 127 ❏ Settings: 0 ~ 127 QED EffectCtrl (Quick Edit Effect) This tuning is designed so that most of the intervals (especially the major third and perfect fifth) in the major scale are pure. This means that other intervals will be correspondingly out of tune. You need to specify the key (C~B) you will be playing in. Set the amount of Chorus applied to the entire Voice. QEDíEffectCtrl) C 1234 Chorus +63 A~G# The same as Pure Major, but designed for the minor scale. 13~24 Pure minor 25 Werckmeister Andreas Werckmeister, a contemporary of Bach, designed this tuning so that keyboard instruments could be played in any key. Each key has a unique character. 26 Kirnberger Johan Philipp Kirnberber was also concerned with tempering the scale to allow performances in any key. 27 Vallotti & Young Francescantonio Vallotti and Thomas Young (both mid–1700s) divised this adjustment to the Pythagorean tuning in which the first six fifths are lower by the same amount. 28 1/4 shifted This is the normal equal tempered scale shifted up 50 cents. 29 1/4 tone Twenty–four equally spaced notes per octave. (Play twenty–four notes to move one octave.) 30 1/8 tone Forty–eight equally spaced notes per octave. (Play forty–eight notes to move one octave.) 31 Indian C~B Usually observed in the Indian music (white keys [C~B] only). ■ Chorus Set an offset value for the parameters used by each type of Chorus. ❏ Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63 66 ■ Sustain Set the level of the Voice maintained while the note on the keyboard is being held down. QED Filter (Quick Edit Filter) These parameters control filters which affect the tonal quality of the Voice. If you are using LPF (Low Pass Filter) and HPF (High Pass Filter) combined together, the parameters in the QED Filter page only affects LPF. Cutoff +63 ■ Release Set the transition time from the point at which the note on the keyboard is released to the point at which the level of the Voice reaches zero. Reso +63 ■ Cutoff Set the cutoff frequency. The frequency set here will be a center frequency for signals to be filtered when they pass through each filter. ❏ Settings: -64 ~ 0~ +63 Common Arpeggio The following four parameters control the behavior of the Arpeggiator. ❏ Settings: -64 ~ 0~ +63 ■ Reso (Resonance) 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. ARP Type (Arpeggio Type) ARP Limit (Arpeggio Note Limit) ARP Mode (Arpeggio Mode) ARP PlayEF (Arpeggio Play Effect) ❏ Settings: -64 ~ 0~ +63 ARP Type (Arpeggio Type) These are the basic parameters of the Arpeggiator. QED EG (Quick Edit Envelope Generator) These four parameters control the change in the output level of a Voice over the time that a note is played. QEDíEG) C 1234 Attack +63 ARPíType) Type C 1234 UpOct1:Sq Time Key on Hold on ❏ Settings: (see the separate Data List) Sq (Sequence): Creates a general arpeggio phrase. Mainly octave up/down phrases. Ph (Phrase): Creates more musical phrases than Sq. Starting with “Techno,” there are phrases for a wide variety of musical genres, and for creating backing tracks for guitar, piano and other instruments. Dr (Drum Pattern): Creates drum pattern-type phrases. Phrase genres covered include rock and dance. This Type is ideal for use with drum and percussion sounds. Ct (Control): Creates tonal changes. No note information is created. The Key Mode parameter in Arpeggio Mode must be set to “direct.” Sustain Level Decay Time Switch on ■ Type Set the Arpeggio Type. Decay Sustain Release +63 +63 +63 Level Attack Time Tempo 120 Release Time Key off ■ Attack Set the transition time from the moment a key on the keyboard is pressed to the point at which the level of the Voice reaches its peak. ■ Tempo Set the Arpeggio Tempo. ❏Settings: 25 ~ 300 ❏ Settings: -64 ~ 0~ +63 [MIDI] is displayed here and the parameter cannot be altered if MIDI sync is enabled (Page 131). ■ Decay Set the transition time from the point at which the level of the Voice reaches its peak to the point at which it levels off. ❏ Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63 67 Voice Mode QEDíFilter) C 1234 ❏ Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ +63 ■ Switch Switch the Arpeggiator on or off. If the Arpeggio Category is set to Ct, you will not hear any sounds unless you select “direct” here. With the “sort” and “thru” settings, the order in which notes are played back will depend on the Arpeggio sequence data. ❏Settings: off, on ■ Hold Switch the Arpeggiator Hold on or off. Voice Mode ■ Vel Mode (Velocity Mode) Set the playback velocity of the Arpeggio. There are 2 modes. ❏ Settings: syncoff (see below), off, on syncoff The first time you press a key, the first note of the arpeggiator pattern is played. From the second and subsequent key presses, the arpeggiator note that is played back will depend on the arpeggiator tempo and the timing of the arpeggio pattern. For example, in the case of a 1-bar arpeggio pattern, if the second key press falls on the third beat of the bar, the arpeggio pattern plays back from the third beat onward. In other words, the first key press is used to start the arpeggio pattern and thereafter you can use the key to “mute” or “un-mute” the pattern by, respectively, holding it down or releasing it. This is particularly useful when the arpeggiator is being used to generate drum patterns. ❏ Settings: original: Preset velocities are used in the Arpeggio sequence. thru: Velocities of the notes you play are used in the Arpeggio sequence. ARP PlayEF (Arpeggio Play Effects) You can set Play Effects for the Arpeggio. Play Effects can be used to temporarily adjust the timing and velocity of MIDI notes, thus affecting the groove of the Arpeggio pattern. Details about this are given on Page 38. ARP Limit (Arpeggio Note Limit) ARPíLimit) C 1234 ARPíPlayEF) C 1234 Note Limit C-2 - G 8 ❏ Settings: C-2 ~ G8 (lowest and highest set separately) If you specify the highest note first and the lowest note second, for example “C5 to C4,” then the note range covered will be “C-2 to C4” and “C5 to G8.” ■ Vel (Velocity) Set the Velocity offset value (the strength at which the keyboard is played). This determines how the original Velocities are increased or decreased during Arpeggio playback. A setting of 100% means the original values are used. Settings below 100% will reduce the velocity of the Arpeggio notes, whereas settings above 100% will increase the velocities. ARP Mode (Arpeggio Mode) These parameters control the way in which notes are played back by the Arpeggiator. ❏ Settings: 0% ~ 200% Vel Mode thru If the Velocity value falls below 1, it will be limited to 1. If it exceeds 127, it will be limited to 127. ■ Key Mode Set how the Arpeggio is played back when keys on the keyboard are pressed. There are 3 modes. ■ Gate (Gate Time) Set the Gate Time Rate value (the length of a note). This determines how the original Gate Times are increased or decreased during Arpeggio playback. A setting of 100% means the original values are used. Settings below 100% will shorten the gate times of the Arpeggio notes, whereas settings above 100% will lengthen them. ❏ Settings: sort: Plays back notes in ascending order from the lowest key pressed to the highest. thru: Plays back notes in the order in which the keys are pressed. direct: Plays back the notes exactly as you play them. If changes to Voice parameters (such as Pan or Cutoff frequency) are included in the Arpeggio sequence data, they will be applied and reproduced whenever the Arpeggio plays back. Gate 200% ❏ Settings: 50%, 66%, 75%, 100%, 133%, 150%, 200% You can set the lowest and highest notes in the range by pressing notes on the keyboard while holding down the [SHIFT] key. Key Mode sort Vel 200% ■ Unit Adjust the Arpeggio playback time. For example, if you set a value of 200%, the playback time will be doubled and the tempo halved. Alternatively, if you set a value of 50%, the playback time will be halved and the tempo doubled. Normal playback time is 100%. ■ Note Limit Set the lowest and highest notes in the Arpeggiator’s note range. ARPíMode) C 1234 Unit 50% ❏ Settings: 0% ~ 200% If the Gate Time value falls below 1, it will be limited to 1. 68 the Pitch Bend Wheel is moved downwards. Common Controller ■ Upper Set the amount (in semitones) by which the Voice pitch changes when the Pitch Bend Wheel is moved upwards. For example, a value of +12 means that the pitch of the Voice rises by up to an octave when the Pitch Bend Wheel is moved upwards. CTL Portamento CTL Bend (Pitch Bend) CTL Set1 (Control Set 1) CTL Set2 (Control Set 2) CTL Set3 (Control Set 3) CTL Set4 (Control Set 4) CTL Set5 (Control Set 5) CTL Set6 (Control Set 6) ❏ Settings: -48 ~ 0~ +24 CTL Set1 (Control Set 1) to CTL Set6 (Control Set 6) The controllers and knobs on the front panel, the keyboard, and so on can be assigned a variety of uses. For example, keyboard aftertouch can be used to control vibrato and the Modulation Wheel could be used to control Resonance. They can even be used to control parameters within individual Elements. These control assignments are called “Control Sets.” You can assign up to six different Control Sets per Voice. Thus there are six screens, each for a separate controller: CTL Set1 to CTL Set6. CTL Portamento Set the Portamento parameters. Portamento will create a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played to the next.

Drum Key Amplitude You can set amplitude (output level) parameters for each Drum Key. The following two parameters are available. This parameter is only available if the Type parameter in the OSC Wave screen is set to “wave.” AMP AEG (Amplitude Envelope Generator) AMP VelSens (Amplitude Velocity Sensitivity) 91 Voice Mode PCHíTune) Key=C 3 This parameter is only available if the Type parameter in the OSC Wave screen is set to “wave.” AMP AEG (Amplitude Envelope Generator) Amplitude Envelope Generator Settings Voice Mode The Amplitude Envelope Generator has three Time parameters and one Level parameter. These govern the transitions between output levels for the duration of a note. The Attack Time is the time taken for the sound to reach its peak output level from the moment a note is played on the keyboard. The Decay 1/2 Time and the Decay 1 Level parameters are used to set the behavior of the remainder (between the sound’s peak output level and the point at which it fades to zero). Furthermore, you can set these parameters to be sensitive to note velocity. The Amplitude Envelope Generator controls the change in amplitude from the moment a note in pressed on the keyboard to the moment it is released. By setting the Attack Time, Decay 1 Time and the Decay 1/2 Level, you can determine how fast the sound reaches its peak amplitude and how it fades out. Parameters can be set for each Drum Key.

A Plug-in Voice is a Board Voice that has been processed in the synthesizer in Voice Edit Mode. There are six Common Edit screens and four screens for editing the Element of a Plug-in Voice. You can save up to 64 edited Plug-in Voices in Banks A to D of Memory PLG. After selecting the Plug-in Voice you wish to edit (in Banks A to D of Memory PLG), when you enter Voice Edit Mode, you will see the Voice Edit Mode screen that you had exited from previously. Monitoring Board Voices You can monitor Board Voices without having to enter Edit Mode. Also, if you press the [EDIT] key while monitoring, you will enter Edit Mode with the oscillators of the Board Voice already assigned. 1 While holding down the [PLG] key, use Knob [C] to select the Board Voice’s Bank. “PLG INT” is the Bank of the Plug-in Voice (Plug-in Internal) stored in Memory PLG. 96 96 96 96 96 73 73 74 74 97 97 97 97 98 98 98 98 98 Plug-in Common Edit and Editing Each Element There are two edit screens for a Plug-in Voice. One is for general Voice settings called Plug-in Common, and the other is for element settings called Plug-in Element. There is only one element available for a Plug-in Voice, but you can make access to parameters in Plug-in Common and Element screens, which are similar to ones for a normal Voice. In Plug-in Voice editing, you can switch between the Common and Element screens using the Knob [A]. 2 Release the [PLG] key. Select the Board Voice using the BANK/PROGRAM keys or [DATA] knob as in the same way to select a Voice from another memory. If there is no Voice at the Program Number corresponding with the selected Bank, no sound will be produced.

Use the [PAGE] knob to switch to the screen for the desired parameter, then use Knob [C] and Knob [2] to enter the settings. The parameters and number of screens will vary depending on the Plug-in Board. For details about each parameter and its functions, refer to the Owner’s Manual or the on-line help that came with your Plug-in Board. 98 Plug-in Voices are based on Board Voices. However, the Board Voices themselves can be edited via computer, using the included editor software. Different editors are available for different Plug-in Boards. After loading Board Voice data, if you select Plug-in Voice Memory (PLG) A to D, the stored sound (the edited Plug-in Voice based on the Board Voice) is loaded. When using the editor while the synthesizer is in Voice Mode, set the “Part No.” in the editor to “1.” Also, make sure the synthesizer’s Basic Receive channel is the same as that set in the editor’s MIDI channel. The “all” setting is not available when saving Board Voice data; it is saved as a “plugin” file type. If the file name is set such that the file loads automatically (Page 136), the Board Voice data can also be loaded up when the synthesizer is switched on. Your edits made to a Board Voice will be retained in the Custom Bank until you turn off the instrument. Note that the Custom Bank is a temporary memory so that edits in the Bank will be erased when you turn off the instrument. Therefore, it may be necessary to save Board Voice data using a computer. It may take a while to save or load the Board Voice data using Memory Card. Details about saving/loading data to/from Memory Card are given on Page 137. The editor for the Plug-in Board is a plug-in program for XGworks(lite). You will need to be running Windows and XGworks(lite) in order to use it. XGworks lite is included on the CD-ROM included with this synthesizer. S30 Plug-in Board Custom Bank Plug-in Memory (PLG) Bulk Dump/ Edit Board Voice PS/V IBM Plug-in Voice Save Computer (Editor) Details about how to use the editor are given in the on-line help. When bulk-dumping Board Voice data, the edited Board Voices is received in the Custom Bank according to the Bank Select Message (MSB/LSB) unique to each Plug-in Board. Therefore, to play back these Board Voices, you need to select the appropriate Banks in the synthesizer. 1 In Voice Play Mode, select any Voice in a Plug-in Memory (PLG). 2 The Board Voice you have edited can now be played back if a Custom Bank has been selected at this screen. For details about Custom Banks, Bank Select Numbers (MSB/LSB) and Board Voices, refer to the Owner’s Manual or the on-line help that came with your Plug-in Board. Once you have transmitted the edited Board Voice data to the synthesizer and saved it to Memory Card as a “plugin” file type, you can load the file without having to connect the computer. If a Board Voice in the Custom Bank has been edited in Voice Edit Mode, you can store it as a Plug-in Voice in Memory Bank A to D of PLG. Up to 64 can be stored in PLG MEMORY. However, only the Voice Edit parameters can be stored. The edited Board Voice parameters cannot be stored. Therefore, you will lose all Board Voice edits when you switch your synthesizer off. 99 Voice Mode To avoid this situation, you should save your Board Voice edits to Memory Card and then load the data as a Plug-in Voice. Editing Plug-in Board Voices Voice Job Mode VCE Initialize You can reset (initialize) all parameters of a Voice to their default settings. You can also selectively initialize certain parameters, such as Common settings, settings for each Element/Drum Key, and so on. Note that this does not return the Voice to its original state prior to editing. Instead, it is useful when building a completely new Voice from scratch. You can perform various operations (Jobs) in Voice Job Mode. For example, you can “Initialize” Voices (including those currently being edited) or “Recall” previous edits. Voice Mode When you enter Voice Job Mode, you will first see the Initialize screen. The following four screens are available for each Voice Job. Before entering Voice Job Mode and using the Initialize or Recall function, you must select the Voice you wish to operate on (Page 60).

Any Song files with the “.MID” extension can be selected. When you select a file Number here, the file name is shown in the top line of the display. For continuous (chained) playback of multiple Chain Steps, you can specify how to play this Chain Step after playback of a previous one by selecting an option from among “skip,” “end” and “stop.” If you select “skip,” the Chain Step is skipped and playback will jump to the next Chain Step. If you choose to skip the 99th Chain Step, playback will jump back to the first Chain Step after the 98th Chain Step. If you select “end,” when the Song reaches this Chain Step, chained playback is stopped and you are returned to the first Chain Step. If you select “stop,” the Song stops when it reaches this Chain Step. When the Song playback is resumed, it starts at the next Chain Step. Performances can be changed while Songs are playing or have been stopped. However, it does not change in real time during playback if you specify a Chain Step other than the current one. In stead, it changes when playback reaches the song at the specified Chain Step. Song File Playback 1Use Knob [B] to select the Song file you wish to play back. When playing back a single Song, you do not need to select a Chain Step Number (You can have any Chain Step screen open). You need to enter Card Mode beforehand and specify the directory containing the song files you wish to play back. Details about how to change directory are given in the section “File Directories” on Page 137.

Using 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. ■ 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 for you or not, beforehand. The Memory Cards formatted with this instrument may become unusable with other instruments. Handling the Memory Card(SmartMedia™*) ■ About the Memory Cards • To handle Memory Cards with care: Be sure to handle Memory Cards with care. Follow the important precautions below. ■ 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 five types of Memory Cards: 2MB/4MB/8MB/16MB/32MB. A Memory Card with the memory capacity exceeding 32MB can also be used if it conforms to the standards of SSFDC (Solid State Memory Card Card: another name of SmartMedia) Forum. ■ 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. • 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. Conversely speaking, 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. - Don’t insert anything other than a Memory Card in the slot. • To remove a Memory Card: Make sure to turn the instrument off and pull the Memory Card out of the slot. Always the instrument must be turned off before removing the Memory Card. ■ 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. However, if the Memory Card's memory is full and you want to exchange it with a new one to save your currently edited data, follow the following procedure: 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. * ■ Burglarproof Lock This instrument is equipped with a burglarproof lock for the Memory Card. If necessity arises, mount the burglarproof lock onto the instrument. To mount the burglarproof lock: It includes saving, loading, formatting, deleting and making directory. 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. 1 Remove the metallic part using a Phillips screwdriver. 2 Turn the metallic part upside down and then mount it again. 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. 135 Card Mode There are times when static electricity affects Memory Cards. Before you handle Memory Cards, to reduce the possibility of static electricity, touch the metal parts 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. * SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation. ■ SMF (Standard MIDI Files) Format 0 Standard MIDI Files (SMFs) can be played back in Song Mode. However, they cannot be saved. You will see the 1st screen (Status) when you enter Card Mode. The following seven screens are available, each for a different operation. ❏ Extension: “.MID” 1st screen: Status 2nd screen: Save 3rd screen: Load 4th screen: Rename 5th screen: Delete 6th screen: MkDir (Make Directory) 7th screen: Format The SMF is a standardized sequence file format used by musical instrument manufacturers, computer software companies and other parties. An SMF can easily be exchanged between SMF-compatible sequencers, regardless of the manufacturer. The following two types of SMF exist, though this synthesizer will only play back Format 0 SMFs. Details about how to enter Card Mode are given on Page 17. • Format 0: Data for multiple MIDI channels is contained within a single track. File Types • Format 1: Data for multiple MIDI channels is contained within multiple tracks. If the SMF you wish to play back is in Format 1, use the included Card Filer software to convert to Format 0 via computer. Details of how to convert SMFs are given in the Card Filer documentation (in PDF format). Details about installing the Card Filer software are given in the separate Installation Guide. You can handle the following five types of files to your synthesizer. ■ all (All Data) All data in the synthesizer and in External Memory data are treated as a single file, and can be saved/loaded as such. ❏ Extension: “.S2A” Automatically Loading Files Plug-in Board data cannot be saved. The synthesizer can automatically load certain files (All/Plug-in data) when you switch it on. Name the file to be loaded automatically as follows, then save it to the highest directory of the Memory Card. Insert the card into the CARD slot before switching the synthesizer on. System, Performance and Plug-in voice data can only be saved in this format. Card Mode ■ all-voice (All Voice Data) All Voice data in the synthesizer (128 Normal Voices + 2 Drum Voices) and in External Memory (128 Normal Voices + 2 Drum Voices) are treated as a single file, and can be saved/loaded as such. Plug-in Voice data is not included. Data will be loaded automatically and any existing data in memory will be overwritten. Therefore, you should save important data to Memory Card (or other media) beforehand. ❏ Extension: “.S2V” To prevent the automatic loading of files, hold down the [EXIT] key when powering up the synthesizer. Release the key when the “Now checking plug-in board.” message is displayed. ■ plugin All Plug-in Board data is treated as a single file, and can be saved/loaded as such.

The following types of Plug-in boards can be used with your instrument. ● ● ● ● ● PLG150-AN PLG150-PF PLG100-XG PLG150-VL PLG150-DX 1 Turn the keyboard power off, and disconnect the AC power adaptor. Also, if the keyboard is connected with other external device(s), disconnect the device(s). 2 Turn over the keyboard so you can have direct access to the underside. To protect the Knobs and Wheels, place the keyboard so the four corners are supported by something that provides sufficient support like magazines or cushions. n See page 27 for detailed explanations for each board. n PLG100-VH cannot be used. n Although the PLG100-VL and PLG100-DX can also be installed, some of the functions are not available. Precautions When Installing the Optional Boards View of the keyboard from the bottom. Remember the following precautions and install the Plug-in boards properly by following the steps as written. • Handle the Plug-in boards with care. Dropping or subjecting the Plug-in board to any kind of shock may cause damage or result in a malfunction. • Be careful of static electricity. There are times when static electricity affects the IC chips on the Plug-in board. Before you lift the optional Plug-in board, to reduce the possibility of static electricity, touch the metal parts other than the painted area or a ground wire on the devices that are grounded. • Do not touch the exposed metal parts in the circuit board. Touching these parts may result in a faulty contact. • When moving a cable, be careful not to let it catch on the circuit Plug-in board. Forcing the cable in anyway may cut the cable, cause damage, or result in a malfunction. • Before starting installation, be sure that you have a coin or a Phillips screwdriver at hand. • Be careful not to misplace any of the screws since all of them are used. • Do not use any screws other than what are installed on the instrument. • When inserting Plug-in boards and connecting cables, make sure that you check that they are inserted and connected properly. Improperly inserted Plug-in boards and cables may cause faulty contacts and an electrical short circuit which may cause damage or result in a malfunction. • After mounting the Plug-in board be sure to tighten the screws as directed so it is completely stable and does not move in any way. MUSIC SYNTHESIZER Modular Synthesis Plug-in System Place the supports at all four corners, without touching the Knobs and the Wheels. 3 Move to a position facing the rear panel of the keyboard, and remove the screws from the Plug-in board cover at the bottom left with a coin or phillips screwdriver (six flat-head screws only). Do not remove the other screws. n Keep the removed (6) screws in a safe place. They will be used when attaching the Plug-in board cover to the keyboard again. 141 Appendix Be careful not to drop or bump the keyboard and make sure that it is well balanced before proceeding. 4 Remove the Plug-in board cover.

Cannot enter small values. • Have you only tried entering values using Assignable Knobs [A] to [C] or Knob [1]/[2]? (Page 19) Cannot move the cursor without the settings being affected. Cannot receive bulk data. • When using the S80/S30 Voice Editor, have you set a sufficient Dump Interval? The Dump Interval in the Voice Editor Setup dialog must be set to 10ms or greater. Macintosh users: Card Filer for Macintosh does not work correctly. • Are you using MIDI Time Piece? Card Filer is not compatible with MIDI Time Piece. You need to disable the use of MIDI Time Piece on the Macintosh. Plug-in Voices cannot be read into PLG Memory. • The S30 can read CS6x/CS6R/S80 Plug-in Voice data. The Plug-in Voices for the PLG150-AN/DX/PF/VL Plug-in Boards are in MIDI File format. Use Card Filer to send voice data to Memory Card, then start playback on the sequencer to read the data into PLG Memory. Of the two types of file (PLG1 and PLG2), play back the PLG2 type. 147 Appendix • Hold down the [SHIFT] key while using Knobs [A] to [C], Knob [1]/[2], and the [DATA] knob or the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] keys (Page 19).
