Using as a Master Keyboard
What is the Master
Mode?
The S90 is loaded with such a wealth of different
features, functions and operations, you may find it
difficult to locate and call up the particular feature you
need. This is where the Master mode comes in handy.
You can use it to memorize the operations you use
most often in each mode, and call them up instantly
anytime you need them with a single button press.
The S90 has space for a total of 128 of your own User
Master settings.
* Parameters other than those shown above (e.g., Slider settings) can be stored
(Master Common Edit [F2] Ref. #58).
Four Zones
In the Master mode, the keyboard can be divided into a
maximum of four separate Zones (as shown below) —
each with its own MIDI channel setting. In this way,
you can use just a single keyboard to control several
different instrument parts independently. Moreover,
you can have these independent Zones control
different channels on connected MIDI devices as well.
You can set these four Zones and store them as a User
Master in the Master mode.
n
MIDI channel of each Zone for internal tone generator
(including plug-in board) is available only when the
Mode is set to Sequence Play (SeqPlay) from the
MEMORY display.
The four Zones can also be configured as Voice “layers”
— letting you have more than one Voice sound at the
same time when you play within a single Zone. (See
the example below.)
