Quick Guide Playing the S90 ES

Using a microphone and other audio device sounds

One of the enormous beneﬁts of the Performance mode is that you can have the A/D input sound—such as your voice

through a microphone, a guitar, bass, or CD player—assigned as one of the four Parts of a Performance. Various parameters

such as volume, pan, and effect can be set to this Part and the sound is output together with other Parts. These parameters

are set and stored in the Performance Store mode for each Performance.

nThe Audio Input part is available also in the Multi mode, but is not available in the Voice mode. The procedure and explanations here apply to the Multi

mode as well.

nA standard dynamic microphone is recommended. (The S90 ES

does not support phantom-powered condenser microphones.)

When the output level of the connected equipment (such

as a microphone, guitar, bass) is low, set this parameter to

“mic.” When the output level of the connected equipment

(such as a synthesizer keyboard, CD player) is high, set

this parameter to “line.”

nThis setting is available for all modes. If you wish to store this

setting, press the [STORE] button.

nIf you are using the mLAN input Part, the GAIN knob has no effect

on the input level.

For details about each parameter, see page 151 in the

Reference section.
