User manual YAMAHA CS1X

[. . . ] PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING. Following the important precautions below will help ensure you many years of trouble free use from your CS1x. LOCATION · In order to avoid causing serious damage to the CS1x, do not expose it to direct sunlight, high temperatures, excessive humidity, excessive dust or strong vibration. · Always place the CS1x on a solid surface such as a keyboard stand or a sturdy table or desk. ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE · Avoid using the CS1x near televisions, radios or other devices which generate electromagnetic fields, since this may cause the CS1x to malfunction, and possibly generate interference noise in the other devices. diluted, mild detergent. · Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instrument, since vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface. DATA BACKUP BACK-UP BATTERY · The CS1x contains a special long-life battery that retains the contents of its User memory when the power is turned off. When it needs to be replaced, the message "Battery Low" will appear in the display when the power is turned on. [. . . ] To match the MIDI Program Change number when switching programs using an external MIDI device, subtract a value of "1" from the Program number. NOTE For more information about Banks and Programs (voices), see the Voice List in the "Data List" book. s BANK This lets you select a Bank, each of which contains up to 128 normal voices. To select a voice, you must first select a Bank number, and then select a Program number in the PROGRAM parameter, explained below. s VOLUME This sets the volume of each Layer. It is possible to assign a different volume setting for each Layer. Settings: off, XG000, 001, 003, 006, 008, 012, 014, 016~020, 024, 025, 027, 028, 032~043, 045, 064~072, 096~101, SFX, PRE 0~12 (for Performance only) Settings: 0~127 33 s PAN This sets the panning (the left or right position in the stereo spectrum) of each Layer. Different pannings can be set for each Layer, thus providing for a richly textured stereo image (for stereo output). NOTE The value of some Layers may forcibly be changed when using the Variation effect. NOTE For more information, see page 47. s FILTER This sets the filter parameters for each Layer. There are two parameters, CUTOFF and REZ (Resonance). Cutoff Resonance Settings: Random, L63 (far left in the stereo image) to L01 to C00 (center in the stereo image) to R01 to R63 (far right in the stereo image) When set to "Random", the pan position of each Layer will alternate between left and right each time a Performance is played. NOTE Some of the voices are preset and have a fixed panning of "left" in the lower register and "right" in the higher register. NOTE NOTE Generally, filters change the timbre by passing signals within a specific frequency bandwidth and cutting others. The CS1x features an LPF (Low Pass Filter) which passes the signals below the specified frequency point (cutoff frequency) and cuts the signals above it. NOTE Depending on the voice selected, changing certain parameters may not produce a noticeable effect. s EFFECT This sets the effect send (output) level of each Layer. There are three parameters: REV SEND (Reverb Send), CHO SEND (Chorus Send) and VARI SEND (Variation Send). Each effect send level set here will be output to the Reverb, Chorus, and Variation effect sections as previously selected (see page 23). Reverb Send Chorus Send CUTOFF: Determines the cutoff frequency of the filter, or the frequency point above which other frequencies are filtered out. Higher settings result in brighter tones and lower settings result in darker tones. VOLUME FREQUENCIES PASSED FREQUENCIES CUT FREQUENCY Variation Send CUTOFF FREQUENCY REZ (Resonance): Sets the amount of filter resonance or emphasis around the cutoff frequency. Higher settings produce a higher resonant peak, while lower settings produce a relatively flat response. VOLUME REV SEND (Reverb Send): Determines the send level of the Reverb effect. RESONANCE CHO SEND (Chorus Send): Determines the send level of the Chorus effect. VARI SEND (Variation Send): Enables or disables the output of the Variation effect. Settings: REV SEND (Reverb Send): 0~127 CHO SEND (Chorus Send): 0~127 VARI SEND (Variation Send): OFF, ON FREQUENCY CUTOFF FREQUENCY Settings: CUTOFF: -64 ~ +63 REZ (Resonance): -64 ~ +63 34 s POLY/MONO This determines whether the voice in each Layer is played monophonically (only one note at a time) or polyphonically (up to 32 notes at a time). Generally, Polyphonic mode is selected to generate multiple sounds at one time. There are cases, however, where it is more effective to select Monophonic mode, such as when using a bass sound, brass sound, or an analog synthesizer sound. s Tips About Performance Mode · In Performance Mode, you can use a Performance (voice) and 12 Parts (Part 5~16) for Multi. Though the receive channels are set in the factory as shown in the illustration, you can change the receive channels using RCV CH (Receive Channel) in Utility Mode. Performance Layer 1 Layer 2 MIDI Receive Channels set at the factory LAYER EFFECT CHO SEND FILTER CUTOFF REZ POLY/ MONO Ch. 1 Layer 3 Layer 4 BANK PROGRAM VOLUME PAN REV SEND VARI SEND DEMO PERFORMANCE MULTI STORE UTILITY SYSTEM MIDI ASSIGN Settings: POLY (Polyphonic), MONO (Monophonic) You can play up to 32 notes at a time. However, the number of notes may be reduced or truncated if you use voices which consist of two elements and/or play a rather complicated song which uses too many notes. NOTE Multi Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Ch. 16 · If a channel is selected for both Performance and one of the Parts, the two will be played simultaneously, producing two sounds at one time.
