Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha S08 Music Synthesizer. In order to get the most out of your new S08 and its

sophisticated functions, we suggest you read through this manual thoroughly. Also keep it in a safe, convenient place

so that you can regularly refer to it when necessary.

Package Contents

• PA-5C AC Adaptor * • CD-ROM •Installation Guide

• Owner’s Manual • Data List

* May not be included in your area. Please check with your Yamaha dealer.

About the Included CD-ROM

Application software for your S08 is included on this CD-ROM. The Voice Editor lets you edit the Voices of the S08

with a highly intuitive graphical interface. With the included sequencing software (Windows only), you can easily

create and edit your own original songs on your computer. For details, refer to the separate Installation Guide or the

on-line manual included with the software.

Never attempt to play back the CD-ROM on an audio CD player. Doing so may result in damage to your hearing as well as

to your CD player/audio speakers.

Main Features

•Exceptionally high-quality dynamic Voices — including many sounds from Yamaha’s top-of-the-line S80 Music

Synthesizer (page 16).

• Naturally responsive 88-key Balanced Hammer Effect keyboard, drawing on our extensive experience and

expertise in piano-making.

• Wide variety of pro-quality digital effects (page 46).

• Category Search function for quickly calling up Voices in a desired instrument group (page 31).

•A total of 493 Normal Voices and 29 Drum Voices, all GM2/XG-compatible — in addition to Preset Voices and

User Voices (page 20).

• Memory cards, which let you easily organize and archive the internal data (page 53).

• Sequence Play function, that lets you directly play song ﬁles stored to memory cards (page 51).

• Comprehensive, detailed editing features for customizing your Voices (page 40 and 58).

• Convenient USB terminal for direct, easy connection to computer — with just one cable (page 14).

GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is a standard speciﬁcation that deﬁnes the arrangement of voices in a tone generator and its MIDI

functionality, ensuring that data can be played back with substantially the same sounds on any GM-compatible tone

generator, regardless of its manufacturer or model. Tone generators and song data that meet the “GM System Level 1” bear

this GM logo.

GM System Level 2 (GM2)

“GM System Level 2” is a standard speciﬁcation that enhances the original “GM System Level 1” and improves song data

compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater voice selection, expanded voice parameters, and integrated effect

processing. Tone generators and song data that meet the “GM System Level 2” speciﬁcations bear this GM2 logo.

“XG” is a tone generator format that expands the voice arrangement of the “GM System Level 1” speciﬁcation to meet the

ever-increasing demands of today’s computer peripheral environment, providing richer expressive power while maintaining

upward compatibility of data. “XG” greatly expands “GM System Level 1” by deﬁning the ways in which voices are expanded

or edited and the structure and type of effects.

When commercially available song data bearing the XG logo is played back on a tone generator which bears the XG logo, you

will enjoy a full musical experience that includes unlimited expansion voices and effect functions.

USB

USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting a computer with peripheral devices.

It allows “hot swapping” (connecting peripheral devices while the power to the computer is on).

About This Manual

This manual consists of the following sections.

■ Basics Section (page 11)

This section provides a overview of the main functions and features of the S08 and introduces you to the basic

operating conventions.

■ Quick Guide (page 29)

This section explains how to use the basic functions.

■ Reference : Function List (page 58)

The S08 encyclopedia. This section explains all parameters.

■ Appendix (page 72)

This section contains detailed information on the S08 such as MIDI, Display Messages, Troubleshooting and

Speciﬁcations.

■ Installation Guide (separate booklet)

Refer to this for instructions on installing the included software programs (on the CD-ROM) to your computer.

■ Data List (separate booklet)

This contains various important lists such as the Voice List, Wave List, Multi List, and MIDI Implementation

Chart.

About the “Page” References in this Manual

PAGE xx ..... Refers to a display “page” in the LCD

page xx........ Refers to an actual page in this manual.

Many of the functions and parameters of the S08 are shown on various display “pages,” each of which is numbered

within each mode and indicated in the display. Searching for a function or parameter is made more convenient and

fast by the use of these page numbers.

To distinguish these display page references from actual pages in the manual, we’ve applied the following convention:

“PAGE” (all capital letters) refers to the display page. Unless indicated otherwise, the PAGE reference is for display

pages within the same mode (as described for other parameters in the same section).

Throughout the manual, parameter names are prefaced by numbers, such as “13-2 Resonance.” This, for example,

indicates that the Resonance parameter is on display PAGE 13 in the selected mode.

When one display page contains two or more related parameters, use the [ ]/[ ] buttons (page 26) to scroll

through the available parameters. These related parameters selected by the [ ]/[ ] buttons are indicated by

hyphenated numbers (e.g., 13-1, 13-2, etc.). In the example above, you can select the Resonance parameter by using

the [ ]/[ ] buttons to move to the second page.

n For a full listing of the parameters and their corresponding display pages, refer to the Function List (page 58) or the

Parameter Table (page 18).

● Copying of the commercially available music sequence data and/or digital audio ﬁles is strictry prohibited except

Before Use

Power Supply

1 Make sure that the S08’s STANDBY/ON switch is

at the STANDBY (off) position.

2 Connect the PA-5C’s DC plug to the S08’s DC IN

terminal on the instrument’s rear panel.

3 Connect the adaptor’s AC plug to the nearest

electrical outlet.

Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the

Yamaha PA-5C or an equivalent recommended by

Yamaha. The use of an incompatible adaptor may cause

irreparable damage to the S08, and may even pose a

serious shock hazard! ALWAYS UNPLUG THE AC

ADAPTOR FROM THE AC POWER OUTLET WHEN

THE S08 IS NOT IN USE.

Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position,

electricity is still ﬂowing to the instrument at a minimum

level. When not using the S08 for an extended period of

time, be sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the

wall AC outlet.

Power-on Procedure

When you have made all the necessary connections

between your S08 and any other devices (page 13),

make sure that all volume settings are turned down all

the way to zero. Then turn on every device in your

setup in the order of MIDI masters (senders), MIDI

slaves (receivers), then the audio equipment (mixers,

ampliﬁers, speakers, etc.). This ensures smooth MIDI

operation and prevents speaker damage.

When powering down the setup, ﬁrst turn down the

volume for each audio device, then switch off each

device in the reverse order (ﬁrst audio devices, then

MIDI).

When using the S08 as MIDI slave:

Turning on the S08

In order to avoid possible damage to the speakers or other

connected electronic equipment, always switch on the

power of the S08 before switching on the power of the

ampliﬁed speakers or mixer and ampliﬁer. Likewise,

always switch off the power of the S08 after switching off

the power of the ampliﬁed speakers or mixer and

ampliﬁer.

n Before you switch your S08 on or off, ﬁrst turn down the

volume of any connected audio equipment.

1 Press the STANDBY/ON switch.

A splash screen (“Welcome to S08”) is displayed

brieﬂy. The Multi or Voice Play Mode screen

appears next.

2 Turn up the ampliﬁer’s volume as necessary.

3 Adjust the S08’s [VOLUME] slider to set an

appropriate volume level.

Connections

Before connecting the S08 to other electronic components, turn off the power to all the components. Before turning the power on or

off to all components, set all volume levels to minimum(0). Otherwise, electrical shock or damage to the components may occur.

Connecting to External

Audio Equipment

Since the S08 has no built-in speakers, you need to

monitor its sound output via external audio

equipment. Alternatively, you could use a pair of

headphones. There are several methods of connecting

to external audio equipment, as described in the

following illustrations.

Connecting Stereo Powered Speakers

A pair of powered speakers can accurately produce the

S08’s rich sounds with their own pan and effect

settings. Connect your powered speakers to the

OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks on the rear panel.

n When using just one powered speaker, connect it to the

OUTPUT L/MONO jack on the rear panel.

Connecting to a Mixer

If you want to integrate the S08 into a larger system

with other instruments and additional audio

processing capabilities, connect it to a mixer, ampliﬁer

and stereo monitor system as shown below.

n Connecting a pair of headphones does not affect audio

output from the OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks. The

audio output at the PHONES jack and the OUTPUT

jacks is exactly the same.

Connecting External MIDI

Equipment

You can connect an external MIDI device using a MIDI

cable (available separately) and control it from the S08.

You can also use an external MIDI keyboard or

sequencer to control the S08’s internal sounds. This

section introduces several different MIDI applications.

n The HOST SELECT (UTILITY PAGE 13) should be set

to “MIDI.” Otherwise, MIDI data will not be transmitted

from the S08’s MIDI OUT connector.

Recording and Playback using an

External MIDI Sequencer

Controlling Another MIDI Device via

MIDI THRU

With the above MIDI connections, you can send MIDI

data from the S08’s MIDI OUT terminal, while

sending MIDI data from the external sequencer to an

external MIDI synthesizer via the S08’s MIDI THRU

terminal.

n MIDI THRU simply relays the MIDI messages received

via MIDI IN.

n The MIDI cable should be no greater than 15 meters in

length, and there should be no more than three devices in

a MIDI chain (chained in series via each unit’s MIDI

THRU). To connect more units, use a MIDI Thru Box

for parallel connections. You may encounter errors if the

MIDI cables are too long or if too many devices are

chained together via their MIDI THRU connectors.

Connecting to a Personal

Computer

You can use a connected computer to control the S08

and to transfer S08 data to/from computer via MIDI.

With the included Voice Editor program, for instance,

you can edit the Voices of the S08.

There are two ways to connect your S08 to a computer:

Depending on your particular computer, the

connections may differ. (See below.)

n You may also want to change the Local On/Off setting

(pages 15 and 67), depending on how you are using the

S08 in your MIDI system.

n You will also need the appropriate MIDI application

(sequencer, editor, etc.), compatible with your computer

platform.

1: USB connection

n The data via the MIDI IN terminal is ignored when using

the USB port (Host Select set to “USB”).

n When connecting the S08 to a computer with a USB

cable, make sure that the USB cable is properly connected

before turning on the power.

Be careful not to turn off the power of the S08 if an

application using the USB/MIDI connection is currently

running.

n The USB connection can only be used for transfer of

MIDI data. No audio data can be transferred via USB.

n Once connected via USB, the S08 begins communication

after a short time.

n Keep in mind that when using Windows 2000/XP, some

operating problems on the computer may occur during

startup. If this happens, try turning on the power of the

S08 only after the computer is properly running.

n When connecting the S08 and your computer via USB,

make sure to connect them directly without routing

through a USB hub.

Local On/Off — When Connected to a

Computer (UTILITY PAGE 12)

When connecting the S08 to a computer, the

keyboard performance data is generally sent to the

computer, and then returned from the computer to

play the tone generator or sound source. If the Local

Switch is set to “on,” a “double” sound may result,

since the tone generator is receiving performance

data from both the keyboard directly and the

computer. Use the setting suggestions below as a

guideline; speciﬁc instructions may differ depending

on your computer and the software used.

When MIDI “Echo” is enabled on the software/

computer, set the S08 Local Switch to “off.”

n When transmitting or receiving System Exclusive

data (such as with the Bulk Dump function, pages

36 and 49), use the setting example below, making

sure that MIDI “Echo” on the computer software is

set to “off.”

When MIDI “Echo” is disabled on the software/

computer, set the S08 Local Switch to “on.”

n Although not indicated in the illustration above,

the S08 actually receives and responds to MIDI

data from the computer application (sequencer),

regardless of the Local Sw setting on the S08.

* MIDI “Echo” is a function on sequencers that

takes any data received via the MIDI IN and

“echoes” it (or sends it as is) through the MIDI OUT.

In some software, this function is also called “MIDI

Thru.”

n Refer to the owner’s manual of your particular

software for speciﬁc instructions.

Connecting Controllers

The S08 has controller jacks on the rear panel,

including FOOT SWITCH and FOOT CONTROLLER.

You can connect optional controllers such as a

footswitch (the FC4 or FC5) and foot controller (the

FC7) to control tone, volume, pitch and other

parameters.

n Details about how to use these controllers are given on

page 37.
