MUSIC PRODUCTION and PERFORMANCE

•

Connect the microphone to the MIC INPUT jack on the rear panel.

•

Press the [MIC ON/OFF] button on the panel so that the lamp lights.

•

Adjust the microphone input level by using the INPUT GAIN knob.

•

Adjust the input gain so that the PEAK lamp flashes briefly on the loud peaks.

•

Select "MIC" by pressing the Knob Function buttons; then adjust the volume by using the Knob to

which VOLUME is assigned.

Use a dynamic microphone for best results. Avoid microphones that require external (Phantom) power – the

keyboard does not supply +48V required for these types of microphones. If you want to use one, you will

need to connect it to a mixer or device that can supply this voltage prior to connecting to the XS.

Page 2 VOCODER. Combining the resources of the two Insertion Effects into one “large” effect processor creates the S90XS/S70XS Vocoder. In VOICE mode, the Vocoder can be applied to any of the Voices – although the synthesizer provides four Voices already configured for use with the Vocoder (more in a minute).
Page 3 Remember: you must play and make sounds into the microphone simultaneously for the Vocoder to sound. It is NOT an effect for the vocal; it is rather using the vocal input to modify a synth sound. The settings for the A/D input are global for VOICE mode, but can be customized on a per Performance and per Multi basis.
Page 4 • Press [EDIT] • Select “COMMON” > press [ENTER] • Select “A/D OUT” > press [ENTER] If you select “Vocoder” you will be asked if you want to apply a Vocoder Voice to PART 1 of your PERFORMANCE - the four PRESET Vocoder voices are offered. The signal path of the A/D INPUT requires that the Vocoder PART always be PART 1.
