Remote-controlling the software
This powerful feature lets you control your music/audio software programs by using sliders and buttons on the panel of the
S90 ES, rather than your computer's mouse and keyboard. The S90 ES can be used to control sequencer software and DAW
(digital audio workstation) software, such as Cubase SX, Logic, and SONAR.
These sequencers or DAWs are already set to respond to specific hardware controllers. The Remote Control function on the
S90 ES emulates popular hardware controllers such as the Yamaha 01X, letting you use the panel buttons/controllers on the
S90 ES for controlling your music/audio software.

Setting up for Remote Control
The mLAN connection can also be used for remote control (page 68).
If connecting via mLAN, set the MIDI IN/OUT parameter to “mLAN.”
nIf the S90 ES is connected to the computer by MIDI cable, the Remote Control function cannot be used.
nIf you are using the Remote Control function, we recommend making connections with a USB cable.
From the S90 ES, you can remote-control the sequencer and Multi Part Editor simultaneously using Mode A and Mode B.
