What is AF referring to? I am assuming AS refers to Assign 1 & 2, correct? |

AF refers to the ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION buttons at the left of the XS. |

Tried to use it but....Wide String AF1....in info below it shows AF 1 ....blank and AF 2 ....blank. Tried using AF buttons on left. They light up for a second and shut off. Obviously I’m missing a step. Also I notice on arps, before name they have letters like F, I, and M followed by A, B, C ,D with a number sometimes. I know the latter is a grouping letter/number but what do the initial letters mean? |

The AF buttons operate in two possible modes - momentary or latched. If a button doesn’t stay lit after being pressed, then it’s been programmed for momentary operation, and needs to be held down for the function to take place. See (4) A. Function 1 Mode and (5) A. Function 2 Mode on page 100 of the XS Owner’s Manual.
You might find this thread, and my XS-XF AF1-AF2 Elements Ljust.zip linked in it, of interest:

See the second post by Mr. Spock in this thread:
By the way, the Yamaha Synthesizer Parameter Manual mentioned in that thread can be found here:

I downloaded your list. Unfortunately my tablet doesn’t have an app to open it. Any suggestions? That info from Spock was very helpful. Thanks. |

I’m glad it did the trick. That should help to clarify what the AF buttons are doing when the XS screen display alone doesn’t provide the information. |
