LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)
As its name suggests, the LFO produces a low frequency wave.
These waves can be used to vary the pitch, filter or amplitude of each Element to create effects such as
vibrato, wah and tremolo. LFO can be set independently for each Element; it can also be set globally for
all Elements. The LFO parameters can be set from the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor.

Tone Generator Block in the Performance Mode
In this mode, the tone generator block receives MIDI data over a single channel. This status is referred
to as a “single timbre” tone generator. This mode lets you play a Performance (which multiple Voices
(Parts) are combined—in a layer, or in other configurations) using the keyboard. Keep in mind that song
data on an external sequencer consisting of multiple MIDI channels will not play back properly in this
mode. If you are using an external MIDI sequencer or computer to play the instrument, make sure to use
the Multi mode.
A program in which multiple Voices (Parts) are combined in a layer, or in other configurations is referred
to as a “Performance.” Each Performance can contain up to four different Parts (Voices). Each
Performance can be created by editing parameters unique to each Part and parameters common to all
the Parts in the Performance mode (page 69).
Four User Banks are provided. Each Bank contains 128 Performances. Accordingly, a total of 512 User
Performances are provided.
Tone Generator Block in the Multi Mode
The Multi mode lets you use 16 Parts and assign different Voices to be played back for each Part. Since
different MIDI channels can be set for each Part of the tone generator block, you can use an external
MIDI sequencer or computer to play the sounds. The sequence data of each track plays the
corresponding Parts (those having the same MIDI channel assignment) in the tone generator block. A
MIDI tone generator that simultaneously receives over multiple MIDI channels and plays multiple
instrument Parts is referred to as a “multi-timbral” tone generator.
To play the tone generator block in the Multi mode, set the Port of the external sequencer to 1 then set
the MIDI Receive Channel of each Part as “Receive Ch” (page 101) in the Voice display of the Multi Part
Edit.
