Connecting to External Audio Equipment

Since the S90 ES has no built-in speakers, you'll need an external audio system or a set of stereo headphones to properly

monitor it. Alternatively, you could use a pair of headphones.

There are several methods of connecting to external audio equipment, as described in the following illustrations.

Audio Output

■ Connecting stereo powered speakers

Hooking up a pair of powered speakers lets you hear accurate reproduction of the instrument's rich sounds with their own

pan and effect settings. Connect the powered speakers to the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks on the rear panel.

nWhen using just one powered speaker, connect it to the OUTPUT L/MONO jack on the rear panel.

■ Connecting to a Mixer

There are extra audio outputs in addition to the main OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks. Connect these outputs to a mixer for

separately controlling and processing individual Drum Key sounds or Parts. Installing the mLAN16E expands the output

capabilities with sixteen addition digital outputs, over a single FireWire (IEEE 1394) connector/cable. For details on how to

set the Part/output jack assignments, refer to the chart below.

Outputting separate notes (keys) of a Drum Voice

This is done from the OutputSel parameter (as selected below) as Drum Voice data.

This setting is available for Parts for which the OutputSel parameter is set to “drum” in another mode (e.g., Performance or

Multi).

Outputting separate Parts of a Performance

This is done from the OutputSel parameter (as selected below).

Assigning an audio input Part of a Performance to an output is done from the OutputSel parameter (as selected below).

Outputting separate Parts of a Multi

This is done from the OutputSel parameter (as selected below).

Assigning an audio input Part of a Multi to an output is done from the OutputSel parameter (as selected below).
