Hi folks Sorry to post an s90es question here...but posted at sninety.com and frankly I dont think anyone uses the boards there… I am at my wits end trying set up zones in my s90es , which I believe uses the same programming as the motif or close? Now this is something that on my Fantom X8 was so amazingly simple, i never even referred to the manual. However...I have read the manual and I have read “beyond the manual” I cant see how do to the most basic thing in the world, set up a few sounds across the keyboard. For example....here is what I am doing… I go to MASTER MODE… I hit JOB and select ZONE (4zone) This then allows me to flick through some screens… The only one I see that refers to program changes is the “PRESET” page...bank MSB bank LSB...(no idea what these stand for by the way) yet changing presets here doesnt seem to change what I am hearing. Other than that, there is nowhere I can see that allows the user to change the voices that make up the performance. Now, I concede that I am extremely stupid, because I cant see that anyone else has ever brought this topic up, everyone just seemed to work it out ! I am on the verge of returning this keyboard to the store, only because it’s just so over complicated. I guess ever since the DX7 “algorithms” Yamaha have prided themselves on making gear that almost nobody can program....yet this keyboard takes it to a new level. Any help would be great - or point me to a link or something ! thanks Tony |
