Yamaha S90 ES User Manual

Voice Play mode

While holding the [DRUM KITS] button, press one of the 
following buttons: [PRE 1] (Preset Drum), [USER 1] (User 
Drum), or [GM] (GM Drum).

This operation is basically the same as in selecting a 
Normal Voice. The numbers of Groups that you can select 
depends on the Bank you’ve selected in step 2. 

This is the same as in selecting a Normal Voice.

n For details about the instrument assignments for each key, refer to 

the separate Data List.

You’ll probably have a lot of fun and inspiration going through the Voices one-by-one, listening to each in order—but it will 
take you a long time to get through all of them, since the S90 ES has so many.  This is where the Category Search function 
comes in handy.  It’s a powerful and easy-to-use way to quickly find the Voices you want.  Let’s try out the feature below, 
searching for a Voice in the Pipe Organ category.

n Press the [CATEGORY SEARCH] button again to turn this function 

off.

Press the [PRE 3] ORGAN button of the Bank buttons and 
Group buttons. The Voices in the Organ Category are 
displayed in a list.
