What is the Voice Editor?

With the Voice Editor, you can edit your synthesizer’s voices and effects via your computer.

Thanks to the easy-to-understand graphical interface, you can edit virtually all of the voice

parameters of S90 right from your computer — using the mouse to adjust the virtual knobs,

sliders, and buttons and entering values from the computer keyboard. Finally, all the changes

you have made to your voices can be saved to your computer. If you have saved your edits to a

memory card (SmartMedia) in the computer, you can insert the memory card into your

synthesizer and its contents can be read directly when the Load ﬁle type is set to “Voice Editor.”

Starting the Voice Editor

After installing the Voice Editor and making the required connection, follow the instructions below

to start the Voice Editor.

Windows

In order to use the Voice Editor with your synthesizer, you’ll need to install the USB

MIDI driver (page 11).

• Starting the Voice Editor as a stand-alone application

From the [Start] menu, select [Programs]

→

[YAMAHA OPT Tools]

→

[Voice Editor for S90]

→

[Voice Editor for S90].

Click the [MIDI SETUP] button called up in step #1 above, then set the appropriate MIDI port.

• Starting the Voice Editor in the host application as a plug-in software.

The Plug-in Board Editor can be used as a plug-in software in any host application compatible

with Open Plug-in Technology (OPT). Refer to the owner’s manual of the host application

(sequencer, etc.) for details on using plug-in software.

About Open Plug-in Technology

Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a newly developed software format that allows control over

MIDI devices from a music software program. For example, this allows you to start up and

operate various parts of your music system, such as plug-in board editors, and mixing control

editors – directly from an OPT-compatible sequencer, without having to use each separately.

This also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music

production system and making all operations more convenient and seamless.

About the OPT Levels

The client application and its compatibility with OPT can be divided into three levels, as shown

below.

Level 1

– OPT Panels provides basic support for opening and displaying OPT control

panels that can transmit data via the clients’ external MIDI ports. Typically this will

allow basic hardware editor control panels to operate properly.

Level 2

–

OPT Processors provides support for real-time MIDI processors and panel

automation. Typically this will allow both real-time and ofﬂine MIDI effects to operate

properly and supply automation to OPT panels.

Level 3

– OPT Views provides support for edit views and MIDI processors/panels that

require direct access to client program storage structures. Typically this will allow

sophisticated MIDI edit views to be supported.

OPT Level Implementation for the Voice Editor

This chart shows the OPT-compatibility of the Voice Editor.

Certain operations may not work as expected if there is no corresponding function in the client

application (sequencer, etc.). The highest level of implementation for the client application is

indicated in the OPT logo (which appears along with the version information in the application).

Macintosh

If you are using Voice Editor on a Macintosh computer, open “Chooser” from the Apple menu and turn off

“AppleTalk.”

Open the “YAMAHA Tools” folder and double-click “VoiceEditorforS90” icon in the “Voice Editor

for S90” folder.

Menu Bar

The Menu Bar contains various editing and setup functions/commands. Click the desired menu

name to open the appropriate pull-down menu, and choose the function/command you wish to

apply. Those functions/commands which are unavailable are grayed out.

The most commonly-used menus in the Menu Bar are available as buttons in Voice Editor’s toolbar.

Windows Macintosh

Library Window

When you start Voice Editor, you will ﬁrst see the Library window, which consists of tabs, each

representing a Memory in the tone generation block. Each tab lists all the names, numbers and

categories of voices in the selected Memory. Double-clicking on a voice name in the Library

window opens the Edit window for a voice, letting you edit the voice.

You can save your settings as a Library ﬁle (*.W4E).

Toolbar

This area contains the buttons controlling the Voice Editor (page 9).

Tabs

Click any of these to view the voice list for the corresponding Memory Bank.

Voice list

This area shows all the voices in the selected Memory as a scrollable list. The name, number

and Category of each voice are shown. You can rearrange the voices by dragging-and-

dropping their voice numbers to a new location. You can rename a voice in Windows by

selecting the voice name, then clicking on it again to enter a new name. On the Macintosh,

you click on the voice name while holding down [control], choose “Edit Voice Name” from the

pull-down menu, and enter the new name in the dialog.

To select a continuous block of voices, click the number of the ﬁrst voice, hold down the [Shift] key,

then click the last number.

Voice names can consist of up to 10 characters.

Split Bar (Windows only)

If you place the mouse pointer over the line (Split Bar) that divides the Track Parameter

Section from the Block Section, the pointer will change shape into the split tool. With this tool,

you can drag the Split Bar back and forth and change the widths of the two sections.

You can change the size of any of the windows by placing the mouse pointer on the top, bottom, left, or

right border lines of the window, then dragging the line until the window is as big or small as you like.

Viewing Just the Voice Names (Windows only)

You can view just the names of all voices in the Memory without their “Number” and

“Category” information. To do this, right-click on any part of the voice list and choose “List.”

This may be useful when choosing voices quickly, since you will have less scrolling to do.

To switch back to the full Voice Name/Number/Category list, right-click on any part of the voice list and

choose “Details.”

Library Window Toolbar

“Open”button

Click this to open the “Open” dialog and select a Library ﬁle to open.

“Open” Dialog

Select the desired Library ﬁle (extension: .W4E) and click [Open]. The contents of the

selected ﬁle is indicated on the Library Window.

If you are using a Macintosh, the typical Macintosh “Open” dialog will appear.

Look in:

...................Click this and choose the folder containing the Voice Editor ﬁles.

“Save”button

Click this to save the existing Library ﬁle with your new settings. If you are working on a new

ﬁle, this button will open the “Save As” dialog, where you can name and save your settings as

a new Library ﬁle (*.W4E).

nWhen a new Library ﬁle (*.W4E) is saved, a ﬁle with an extension of “.W5E” is automatically created. This

“.W5E” ﬁle is necessary for loading the Library ﬁle from a memory card to your synthesizer.

nIf you save a ﬁle to a Macintosh computer, the extension “.W4E” is not added automatically. Before loading

such ﬁles to your synthesizer, you’ll need to manually add the extension “.W4E” to the ﬁle names.

“Save As” Dialog

nLibrary ﬁle names can consist of up to 8 characters plus a 3-character extension.

nIf you are using a Macintosh, the typical Macintosh “Save As” dialog will appear.

1Save in:...................Click this and choose the folder in which to save the Library ﬁle.

2List box...................Shows the contents of the folder you wish to save to.

3File name:...............Specify the name of the Library ﬁle to be saved here.

4Save as type:..........Click this and choose the ﬁle type.

5[Save] button..........Click this to save the Library ﬁle with the name speciﬁed in the “File
