BSM Vol.05 Synthesizer S70 XS / S90 XS Players, take note. You want the ultimate keyboard instrument for performing and creating? We've put it all together for you. Exceptional quality instrument sounds. A piano sound to die for. A truly realistic, naturally expressive keyboard. Convenient, comprehensive control. Real-time controls for tweaking of the sound as you play. Audio recording to USB memory. Extensive computer music features. Ease of use, plus compact size and portability. Introducing the S70 XS and S90 XS Music Synthesizer. Designed specifically for players, particularly those who want the highest quality piano sounds and expression, the S70 XS / S90 XS is a performer's dream. Yet, casual players and hobby musicians will appreciate the exquisite sounds, advanced features and superb playability just as much as top professional artists. The S70 XS / S90 XS also has powerful Remote Control functions and the Master Keyboard features that have been enhanced to meet the demanding needs of professional music production. Its simple, intuitive operation also makes it an excellent choice for singer/songwriters and home studio recordists. No matter what kind of music you play, no matter what your level, no matter whether you play live or record in the studio—the S70 XS / S90 XS will soon be your first 'go-to' instrument. This is an instrument you can rely on to get your musical message across. The S70 XS has a 76-key keyboard in a compact, lightweight design. It's easy to use, exceptionally portable, and absolutely perfect for live performers and gigging musicians. The S90 XS provides 88 keys for those players who need a full-range, full-scale keyboard. ■ Sounds That Satisfy ■ Streamline Your Performance The best musical instruments start with topquality sounds, and the S70 XS / S90 XS delivers all that—and more. The S Series features all the Voices, Performances, arps and Virtual Circuit Modeling effects found on the flagship MOTIF XS Music Production Synthesizer. In addition, we've added a completely new, luscious piano sound of a whopping 100 megabytes, for an expanded total of 456 MB of instrument samples. Foremost among these new piano sounds are the new samples taken from Yamaha's worldrenowned S6 concert grand piano. These fully capture the richly textured sound of that wonderfully expressive instrument, and provide a warm concert grand piano sound unavailable on any other keyboard. For variation, the MOTIF XS piano based on a Yamaha CFIIIS is also available. The S70 XS / S90 XS also lets you quickly and conveniently create your own custom Performances, with the amazingly fast and easy Performance Creator feature. It's never been easier to select a Voice, then quickly program Layers and Splits—even assigning a Drum Voice complete with arps to create your perfect Performance. The S70 XS / S90 XS has a wealth of pro-level effects—including a special set of VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) effect programs that authentically emulate analog circuitry, realistically recreating the uniquely warm characteristics of vintage processing gear. Conventional keyboards in the past had their sounds designed primarily for the listener. This time, however, our development team set out to primarily satisfy the player instead. We reasoned that when the performer hears and experiences the best possible sound, the performance would be the best possible, too! The result? The S70 XS / S90 XS is a genuine musician's instrument, one that truly inspires and stimulates the live performer as well as the music creator and arranger. 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—just a few button presses and you're there! The S70 XS / S90 XS gives you comprehensive, easy-to-use controls for your Performances as well—such as Octave and Transpose buttons for quickly changing the pitch, and a Tap Tempo button that lets you easily change the tempo of Arpeggio or MIDI sequence playback on the fly. You can assign virtually any parameter on the instrument to one of the Assignable Function buttons (using the S90 XS Voice Editor) and switch the parameter as you play—for example, turning specific sound elements of a Voice on or off. Moreover, the instrument lets you route a click sound to one of the assignable outputs. With this you could let your drummer hear just the click sound and lock into your Arpeggio or MIDI playback. Effortless recording of sessions and gigs Effortless home recording Thanks to its built-in, high performance stereo microphone, the Pocketrak provides a convenient tool for high-quality recording of practice-studio sessions without the need for any other equipment. Compact and lightweight, the Pocketrak is also the perfect choice for busking and other situations where recorders requiring a PC or power supply cannot easily be used. A microphone stand adaptor is also included, allowing the recorder to be setup in the best position for recording in a highly convenient manner. And as soon as recordings have been completed, the built-in speaker can be immediately used to review performances. With just one USB connection to a computer, the Audiogram instantly realizes a convenient audio-recording solution — a solution that even includes phantom power for high-quality condenser microphones. With instruments such as electric and bass guitars fully supported, the Audiogram is the ideal interface for home recording systems. What's more, 1-knob compressors are also provided so that you can effortlessly create punchy, full-sounding tracks, which can then also be processed using audio effects from the bundled DAW software package Cubase AI 4 to create professional-grade mixes. Process recordings on a computer to create professional-sounding songs ■ Ideal for Live Performers The S70 XS / S90 XS has a host of other features that live performers will appreciate—such as the combo input jack that accepts both mic and instrument input. Simply plug in a microphone or guitar, tweak the INPUT GAIN knob (while checking the convenient PEAK lamp), and you're all set! Plus, you can use the Control Knobs to finely adjust the volume and even directly apply reverb or chorus to the sound. Tracks recorded on the Pocketrak can be easily transferred to a computer via USB in the form of audio files. With the bundled DAW software package Cubase AI 4, you can then process your recordings using audio effects, overdub new parts using software synthesizers, remove unneeded material using waveform editing functions, and perform many other related tasks. In this way, songs with a highly polished sound can be easily created. Thanks to its compact, lightweight design, the Audiogram can easily setup in practice studios so that you can record your music in comfort. As part of a professional-grade recording setup, for example, you could create basic tracks using any of the software synthesizers provided by the bundled DAW package Cubase AI 4, and then use microphones to record vocals, guitar sounds from an amplifier, and other instruments. Drawing power via USB and requiring no dedicated power supply, this interface helps to reduce clutter in the studio, and once recording has been completed, furthermore, it can be easily brought back home and setup for the next task. Mics (Dynamic / Condenser) In the heat of live performance, the last thing you want is to have to search for a much-needed panel control—or worse yet press the wrong button and get a rude, unexpected sound change. That's why all the panel controls of the S70 XS / S90 XS have been designed and positioned for optimum, intuitive operation, especially for live performance.

As such, it is ideal for setting up convenient, efficient recording and mixing environments. Full-fledged studio recording Even in the practice studio, the MW provides for serious recording through simultaneous micing of multiple instruments. And thanks to the high-quality EQ built into each channel and the mixer's 1-knob compressors, the creation of well-balanced, punchy mixes becomes a much easier task. During the overdubbing of vocals, furthermore, the multi-effects unit integrated into the CX models can be used to conveniently add reverb.
