Owner’s Manual
Quick GuideConnecting the Computer and Midi devices
This operation is the same as in the “Selecting a
Performance” section on page 34. However, keep in mind
that the following points differ from the Performance.
• Only Group buttons [A] - [D] can be used. (A maximum of
64 channels can be used with a Multi.)
• You cannot use the Category Search function.
Set the Voices to be assigned to each Multi Part, as well as
the Receive Channels and Effects for the desired song. For
more information, refer to “Simple Mixing functions (Multi
Play mode)” on page 72 and “Detailed Mixing functions
(Multi Edit mode)” on page 74.
nWhen shipped from the factory, this tone generator contains a full
set of specially programmed 32 User Multis in the User Bank.
For details, refer to the owner's manual of your sequencer.
When a Note On message is received, the corresponding
Part is played. For example, when you play back tracks on
the sequencer, the Part whose Receive Channel is same as
the sequencer track's Transmit Channel is played. If two or
more Parts have the same MIDI receive channel value,
those Parts will play in unison.

Selecting Multis from a computer
As in the Voice mode, you can select a Multi on this
instrument from your computer software by specifying
the following MIDI messages (page 107). The Bank
Select MSB/LSB values for changing the Multi are as
follows:
•Bank Select MSB (Control Change #000) = 63
•Bank Select LSB (Control Change #032) = 65
This Bank Select/Program Change data must be sent
over the same MIDI channel as that of the
BasicRcvCh (Basic Receive Channel) setting.
nWhen switching the mode (e.g., changing the Voice mode to
the Multi mode), transmit the proper Mode Change message
(System Exclusive) before sending the Bank Select MSB to
the S90 ES (page 183).
nAfter sending the Bank Select MSB/LSB, transmit the proper
Program Change message to select the Multi program
number.
