What is the Voice Editor?
With the Voice Editor, you can edit your synthesizer’s voices and effects via your computer.
Thanks to the easy-to-understand graphical interface, you can edit virtually all of the voice
parameters of S90 right from your computer — using the mouse to adjust the virtual knobs,
sliders, and buttons and entering values from the computer keyboard. Finally, all the changes
you have made to your voices can be saved to your computer. If you have saved your edits to a
memory card (SmartMedia) in the computer, you can insert the memory card into your
synthesizer and its contents can be read directly when the Load file type is set to “Voice Editor.”

Starting the Voice Editor
After installing the Voice Editor and making the required connection, follow the instructions below
to start the Voice Editor.
Windows
n
In order to use the Voice Editor with your synthesizer, you’ll need to install the USB
MIDI driver (page 11).
• Starting the Voice Editor as a stand-alone application
1
From the [Start] menu, select [Programs]
→
[YAMAHA OPT Tools]
→
[Voice Editor for S90]
→
[Voice Editor for S90].
2
Click the [MIDI SETUP] button called up in step #1 above, then set the appropriate MIDI port.
• Starting the Voice Editor in the host application as a plug-in software.
The Plug-in Board Editor can be used as a plug-in software in any host application compatible
with Open Plug-in Technology (OPT). Refer to the owner’s manual of the host application
(sequencer, etc.) for details on using plug-in software.
About Open Plug-in Technology
Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a newly developed software format that allows control over
MIDI devices from a music software program. For example, this allows you to start up and
operate various parts of your music system, such as plug-in board editors, and mixing control
editors – directly from an OPT-compatible sequencer, without having to use each separately.
This also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music
production system and making all operations more convenient and seamless.
About the OPT Levels
The client application and its compatibility with OPT can be divided into three levels, as shown
below.
Level 1
– OPT Panels provides basic support for opening and displaying OPT control
panels that can transmit data via the clients’ external MIDI ports. Typically this will
allow basic hardware editor control panels to operate properly.
Level 2
–
OPT Processors provides support for real-time MIDI processors and panel
automation. Typically this will allow both real-time and offline MIDI effects to operate
properly and supply automation to OPT panels.
Level 3
– OPT Views provides support for edit views and MIDI processors/panels that
require direct access to client program storage structures. Typically this will allow
sophisticated MIDI edit views to be supported.
4
OPT Level Implementation for the Voice Editor
This chart shows the OPT-compatibility of the Voice Editor.
n
Certain operations may not work as expected if there is no corresponding function in the client
application (sequencer, etc.). The highest level of implementation for the client application is
indicated in the OPT logo (which appears along with the version information in the application).
Macintosh
n
If you are using Voice Editor on a Macintosh computer, open “Chooser” from the Apple menu and turn off
“AppleTalk.”

An Example of Voice Editor
in Use
There is no single way to use the many components in the Voice Editor. Your editing needs and
preferences may differ; however, the following example gives you a simple step-by-step guide in
how to use the Voice Editor.
The Library window is the first window to open, so that’s where the explanation begins.
n In the Library window, you can open existing Library files containing the Voices you wish to edit, and
specific voices can be imported to the Library window.
1 Click the “Editor Setup” button in the toolbar of the Library window to open the “Editor Setup”
dialog. Then select the appropriate MIDI Out Port and Device No. settings for your synthesizer
(See the section “Editor Setup” Dialog).
n If you are using Macintosh, you will also need to make settings in OMS (page 31).
n If you are using Windows, you will also need to make settings in the MIDI Setup Toolbar or the host
application’s MIDI port.
2 Receive the User voice data from your synthesizer.
1 Select [Receive Bulk...(Receive...)] (page 6) from the [Setup (MIDI)] menu.
2 Select “All” from “Receive Type,” then click the [Start] button (page 13). Close the dialog
box after reception. The received voice is shown.
3 In the Voice List of the Library window, double-click the voice you wish to edit. The Edit
Window will open for the voice.
30
4 Various blocks are arranged in the Edit window. First, let’s set the parameters for Elements 1 to
4 on the Element block which make up the voice. Open the dialogs for Elements 1 to 4, select
the waveforms, and adjust the tonal characteristics of the voice using the filters and
equalizers. You can use the graph editors in each dialog to visually edit the parameters.
n
You can edit the Element parameters in much finer detail within the “EL DETAIL” dialogs. The Element
dialogs are linked to the “EL DETAIL” dialogs, so changes in one dialog are immediately reflected in the
other. You can simultaneously view the graphs and the “EL DETAIL” dialogs side-by-side while editing.
n Also within the Element Unit, you can set the output level for each Element and the route their outputs
through Insertion Effects 1/2.
5 Use [Quick Edit] to adjust the all the levels and tonal characteristics for the voices.
n By clicking or dragging on the buttons of the keyboard at the bottom of the window, you can monitor
the voice you are editing.
n By enabling the “Compare” button in the toolbar, you can make A/B comparisons between the original
voice and the edited voice.
6 Select the Insertion Effect Type in the Insertion 1/2 Unit and set the remaining parameters.
7 Select the System Effect Type in the Reverb/Chorus Unit and set the remaining parameters.
8 Set the Arpeggio and Portamento parameters if necessary.
9 Click the “Store” button in the toolbar of the Edit Window to open the “Store” dialog. This will
store the edits for the current voice in the Library file.
n The edits for the voice are only stored in the Library file temporarily. Beware that if you proceed further
without saving the Library file itself, you will lose all your edits.
10 Switch back to the Library Window and click the “Save” button in the toolbar to save
(overwrite) the Library file. The edits for your voice will be saved with the voice itself in the
designated voice list location.
n The Library file you have saved can be opened in the Library Window at any time. Voices in the Library
Window can be transmitted to your synthesizer.
n You can create a variety of different Library files, each tailored for separate applications, such as live
performances, recording, etc. Thus, you can conveniently modify voices to suit different situations and
needs.

OMS Settings (Macintosh)
The Voice Editor software uses OMS (Open Music System) for MIDI input/output. To use the Voice
Editor software, OMS must be installed beforehand.
n For information about installing OMS, refer to the separate Installation Manual.
About OMS
Voice Editor uses the OMS (Open Music System) to transfer MIDI data to an external MIDI
device. OMS is a system extension that goes in the Mac OS System folder, designed to manage
the MIDI data stream (input & output) in a computer, to enable MIDI data transfer between MIDI
software and hardware attached to the computer. OMS is a de facto standard of the MIDI
environment under the Mac OS, and various music software manufacturers have released OMS-
compatible sequencer and other software.
OMS has the following merits:
• As OMS-compatible MIDI applications communicate with various MIDI devices via OMS, it is
no longer necessary for you to set up multiple MIDI drivers for those applications. Thus, you
can avoid conflicts between different drivers with the same purpose (MIDI control).
• Once a Studio Setup is read in OMS, any OMS-compatible application will be aware of it, even
if you need to reconfigure the routing of the MIDI data stream or change the current Studio
Setup. OMS-compatible applications will commonly recognize the new configuration.
• You can have different Studio Setups to choose from, letting you instantly switch to a different
MIDI routing (patches between MIDI devices and software).
• Every time the OMS Setup application is opened, any MIDI device connected to the computer
is automatically detected, and its icon appears with a current MIDI status (channel number,
port number, patches, etc.). Once devices are properly configured with OMS Setup, you don’t
need to worry about the status.
• OMS can drive various MIDI interfaces, including the standard type (16 channels) and the
multi-port type (16 channels per port). If you use a multi-port type, you can control over 16
channels simultaneously via OMS.
n For more information about OMS features, see the READ ME file included with OMS. Setting up OMS
Setting up OMS
Setup files for the S90 have already been created for use with Voice Editor; please use the
appropriate file for your device.
1 Connect a USB cable to the appropriate ports on the S90 and Macintosh, then set the “MIDI
IN/OUT” setting (UTILITY [F5] → [SF4]) of the S90 to “USB.”
2 Double-click the “OMS Setup” icon in the “OMS Application” folder.
3 Choose “Open” from the File menu and select “S90-USB” from within the “OMS setup for
YAMAHA” folder.
32
4 Choose “Make Current” from the File menu. The setup for your S90 is now saved as the
current studio setup.
5 Choose “Quit” from the File menu to close OMS Setup.
n Voice Editor is not compatible with versions of OMS earlier than 2.0.
OMS Port Setup
Having set up OMS, you now need to start up Voice Editor and set the OMS ports.
1 Start up Voice Editor by double-clicking its icon.
n If AppleTalk is enabled, you will get an alert message. Click “OFF.” It will take some time for AppleTalk
to be disabled.
2 Choose “OMS Port Setup” from Voice Editor’s “MIDI” menu, then select the port settings.
In the following example, the tone generator is an S90 and its settings are applied to OMS.
Key Thru .................Check this if you are monitoring a sound generator module using an
external keyboard.
MIDI In: ..................Select “S90-1.”
MIDI Out: ...............Select “S90-1.”
3 Click [OK] to close OMS Port Setup.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems such as no sound output or abnormal behavior, verify the connections
before checking the following.
<Windows / Macintosh>
Sound does not change when using knobs or sliders.
• Are the MIDI Out port and Device Number set correctly in the Editor Setup? (pages 11, 32)
Bulk data is not transmitted.
• Are the MIDI Out port and Device Number set correctly in the Editor Setup? (pages 11, 32)
• Is the Dump Interval in the Editor Setup too short? Make sure the Dump Interval is at least
20 ms.
Sound is doubled when playing keyboard.
• On your synthesizer, switch Local to OFF.
No sound heard when clicking on-screen keyboard in Edit Window.
• Is the MIDI channel set correctly in the Editor Setup? (page 11)
Sound does not change when Monitor button is pressed.
• Are the MIDI Out port and Device Number set correctly in the Editor Setup (OMS Port
Setup)? (pages 11, 32)
Library files created in Voice Editor cannot be read directly by the S90.
• Set the file extension to “W4E” in order to read Voice Editor’s Library files directly on your
synthesizer. The corresponding file (extension “W5E”) should be copied to the same loca-
tion (folder) as “W4E”.
<Windows>
Bulk data is not received.
• Open the Editor Setup Dialog and check that the Device Number has been properly
assigned (page 11).
MIDI In/Out port is not available in Editor Setup.
• The MIDI In/Out port in Editor Setup is selected from the MIDI In/Out ports in the MIDI
Setup. Check the MIDI In/Out settings in the MIDI Setup Toolbar or in the host application.
<Macintosh>
The USB port is not recognized.
• Check whether the USB driver has been installed to your computer correctly. See the
installation manual for details.
34
The modem/printer port is not recognized.
• Check the connection and settings of the MIDI interface.
• On some Macintosh models such as the Performa series, the modem port cannot be used
and only the printer port is available.
• The modem/printer port will not be recognized if AppleTalk is ON. Note that with some
Macintosh models, AppleTalk is automatically enabled when starting up.
• Verify that the “Modem” or “Printer” checkbox has been checked in the OMS MIDI Setup
window.
No MIDI In/Out data
• Check whether the MIDI IN/OUT setting in the Utility mode corresponds to the actually
used cable (USB or MIDI).
• In the OMS Port Setup, is MIDI In/Out set to “unknown”? If you change the OMS ports or
setup, the OMS output ports have to be set accordingly in Voice Editor’s OMS Port Setup
window. Choose the appropriate receiving device.
• If the port and setup assignments are frequently altered, OMS may be unable to easily rec-
ognize the port. Reboot the Macintosh, set up OMS correctly, then start up the Voice Editor.
Bulk data is not received.
• Open the OMS Port Setup window and check that the MIDI In has been properly assigned
(page 32).
• Open the Editor Setup Dialog and check that the Device Number has been properly
assigned (page 11).
Voice Editor does not start up when Library File (extension .W4E) is double-clicked.
• Change the Type/Creator settings for Library Files as follows, then try double-clicking the
file again.
