Hi all, I have a few questions regarding my S90ES: 1) I am wondering if there is a quick way to arrange performances to a setlist for live purposes. I know the option of Total Librarian by John Melas but I wonder of the alternatives? 2) If I use master mode to arrange my performances/voices, is there a way (when referring to a performance) to mute tracks 1-4 in a quick way? I don’t want to take a long time how to figure out how to mute certain tracks. 3) Is there a way to start performances with some parts already muted? I would like to switch quickly to another performance and only use e.g. 1 of 4 parts in the beginning but add other parts later in the song. Thank you for reading. Paul |

I am using S70XS, not familiar with any differences to S90ES. Re your question (2), I just use the Part On/Off buttons on left end of panel control buttons. Re question (3), make another copy of your performance in the User Performance banks (with Parts On/Off initiated as required) and repoint Master to the preferred initial performance setup. Given your questions, I am guessing that the S90ES has a Master Mode - if so, that’s your answer to question (1). |

Thanks for your reply.
I transferred all my performances to masters according to our set list. However, when I push the “track on/off” I cannot see the 4 part names (that I need in order to mute certain tracks; I don’t remember that I put a piano only in part 4 for example).
Thanks for your input on the start of a performance with tracks muted initially. However, could you specify the steps you would have to take in order to do that in a performance? |

As I am not familiar with the S90ES, there is a risk I may mislead you. Based on S70XS, here are answers to your questions:
1) No, you cannot easily view the Part names, so I markup my music with cues on when to switch Parts On/Off.
2) Whilst in Performance mode, go to the performance to be edited, and set Parts On/Off as required for the initial setup (and similarly, use sliders to set initial part volumes). Then simply save ("store" ) to another Performace location, and point your Master to that. Simple. |

Thanks for the reply again. I play live, so I cannot have any cues.. also I can only give 10 character names to a performance.. I think performance mode would be easier in that case for me. How do you select a part to be on/off at the beginning of a performance? Could you please describe the steps? Thanks |

I had a quick look at Owner Manual for S90ES - very different panel setup to my S70XS. But look at Pages 17-19. I think if you use the Mute button, you can then use buttons 1-4 to mute/unmute Performace Parts. Having done so, store the amended Performance.. |
