Installation Guides, then install the host application such as Cubase if necessary. After making the required
connection and setting the MIDI IN/OUT parameter to “USB” in the Utility mode, follow the instructions below
to start the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor.
nFor details about connection between the S90 XS/S70 XS and a computer, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the S90 XS/
S70 XS.
1. Start the Studio Manager.
Studio Manager can be started as a plug-in within a Studio Connections-compatible DAW software, or
can be started as a stand-alone application.
2. Set the MIDI Ports.

When starting Studio Manager as a stand-alone application:

Set the MIDI Ports by calling up the MIDI Ports window via [File]
→
[Setup]
→
[MIDI Settings]. When the
connection is done via a USB cable, enter the checkmarks to the boxes of Ports 1 and 4 for the S90 XS/S70
XS in both the Input Ports and the Output Ports, as illustrated below.
nA MIDI Thru function is available on Studio Manager version 2.3.0 or later. This new feature lets you transmit
note on/off messages from the MIDI keyboard to the S90 XS/S70 XS instrument through the computer
(without starting the DAW software), letting you hear the sound of the edited Voice by playing the keyboard.

When starting Studio Manager as a plug-in:

Set the MIDI Ports on the DAW application. For details, refer to the manual of your DAW application.
When connecting the S90 XS/S70 XS to a computer via a USB cable, the MIDI Ports are automatically
set simply by starting Studio Manager from Cubase 4.5 or Cubase AI 4.5.
3. Start the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor from the window of the Studio Manager.
For details, refer to the Installation Guide and the PDF manual of the Studio Manager.
When using Studio Manager as a plug-in with the Audio Integration features of Studio Connections
(within a compatible DAW), you can start the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor just as any other software
synthesizer. For details, visit the following web site.
