Yamaha S90XS 88-Key Balanced Weighted Hammer Action Synthesizer

Superior sound, control, and playability optimized for the performer.




The Yamaha S90 XS Music Synthesizer is an
exceptional keyboard for performing and creating. It's a realistic,
naturally expressive synth with a true piano sound. Its highlights
include convenient, realtime controls for adjusting the sound as you
play, the ability to record audio to USB memory, extensive computer
music features, ease of use, and compact size and portability. The
Yamaha S90 XS is designed specifically for players who want high-quality
piano sounds and expressions; casual players and hobby musicians will
appreciate the synthesizer's exquisite sounds, advanced features, and
superb playability just as much as professional artists.

Sounds that satisfy
The
S Series features all the voices, performances, arpeggios, and virtual
circuit modeling effects found on Yamaha's flagship Motif XS Music
Production Synthesizer. The S90 XS adds a huge 142 megabytes dedicated
exclusively to high-quality piano waveforms, for a total of 456
megabytes of instrument samples. Foremost among these piano sounds are
the samples taken from Yamaha's world-renowned S6 concert grand piano.
This synthesizer fully captures the richly textured sound of the
wonderfully expressive S6, and provides a warm, concert grand piano
sound.

In the past, conventional keyboards had sounds designed
primarily for the listener. The S90 XS, however, was designed to satisfy
the player. Yamaha reasoned that when a performer hears and experiences
the best possible sound, their performance would be the best possible
too. The result is the S90 XS, a genuine musician's instrument that
truly inspires the live performer as well as the music creator and
arranger.

Streamline your performance
The S90
XS electronic keyboard lets you quickly and conveniently create your
own custom performances with the amazingly fast and easy Performance
Creator feature. Select a voice, then quickly program layers and
splits—even assign a drum voice complete with arpeggios to create your
perfect performance. Let's say that you're playing a piano voice and you
want to layer a string sound on top of it. Simply press the layer
button, then select the desired voice category and voice, and store your
new performance with the press of a button.

The panel controls
of the Yamaha S90 XS have been designed and positioned for optimum,
intuitive operation, especially for live performances. For example, with
the top-panel controls you can quickly select a part, turn it on and
off, set arpeggios and turn them on and off, and switch on arpeggio
hold, in addition to instantly tweaking important synthesizer parameters
using the knobs and sliders.

Ideal for live performers
The
S90 XS keyboard synth has a host of other features that live performers
will appreciate, such as the combo input jack that accepts mic input.
Just plug in a microphone, adjust the input gain knob (while checking
the convenient peak lamp),
and you're set. You can also use the control knobs to finely adjust the volume and directly apply reverb or chorus to the sound.

Recording direct to USB/internal memory
If
you've got a USB memory device or thumb drive, you can plug it into the
S90 XS and record your performance as audio data. This remarkable
feature lets you instantly capture what you play on the keyboard
(including arpeggio playback) to your USB device. If you've connected a
microphone or guitar, you can record your singing or playing as well.
You can also record audio directly to the internal flash memory (192
megabytes) built into the instrument without the need of a memory
device. Keep in mind that anything you've recorded to the memory device
(even audio files created on your computer) can be played back on the
Yamaha S90 XS, which means you can create your own custom audio backing
tracks and perform along with them. For example, you can create a basic
song track beforehand, then sing and solo over it during your
performance or add guitar parts and vocal harmonies to be played back
during your live performance. There's also a useful song chain function
that lets you string together separate recordings and create a
convenient backing track "set list" for your gigs.

88-key balanced keyboard
The
S90 XS has balanced hammer-effect on its 88 keys for those players who
need a full-range, full-scale keyboard. It's exceptionally portable and
absolutely perfect for live performers and gigging musicians.

Software integration
The
Yamaha S90 XS is also a perfect companion for your computer music
production system, serving both as a master keyboard and a
full-function, multitimbral tone generator. With the Digital Audio
Workstation (DAW) remote function and its 50 different control
templates, you get amazingly easy, intuitive control over your main DAW
software and Virtual Studio Technology (VST) instruments directly from
the panel controls. Moreover, the Voice Editor and Remote Editor
software gives you convenient, comprehensive computer control over all
the sounds, settings, and functions of the S90 XS keyboard synth.
