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
“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 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
for your personal use.
The illustrations and LCD screens as shown in this owner’s manual are for instructional purposes only, and may
appear somewhat different from those on your instrument.
The company names and product names in this Owner’s Manual are the trademarks or registered trademarks of

Before Use
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
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.

Using an external MIDI interface
n Please use the appropriate MIDI interface for your
computer.
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.

Overview of the S08
Controller
This block consists of the keyboard, Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels and so on (page 37). The keyboard itself
doesn’t generate sounds, but instead sends note, velocity and other information to the S08’s tone generator section
for the notes you play. The controllers also send non-note performance data. Information from the keyboard and
controllers can be transmitted to other external MIDI devices through the MIDI OUT connector.
Tone Generator
This block plays back sounds according to information received from the keyboard and controllers. The following
example illustrates the path taken by the signal from an Element in the Voice Mode.
About the Tone Generator (AWM2) & Waveform (Wave)
The tone generator of the S08 utilizes the sophisticated AWM2 system.
AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) is a synthesis system based on the use of sampled waveforms, and is used in
many Yamaha synthesizers. For extra realism, each AWM2 Voice uses multiple samples of a real instrument’s
waveform. Furthermore, a wide variety of envelope generator, filter, modulation, and other parameters can be
applied to the basic waveform.
n AWM2 is not just limited to conventional pitched instruments (Normal Voices), but also produces various drum and percussion
instruments (Drum Voices). For details about Normal and Drum Voices, see page 22.
Maximum Polyphony
The maximum polyphony of the S08 is 64 notes. However, the actual note polyphony will vary depending on the
number of Elements in the Voice. To calculate the actual polyphony, divide the total polyphony of 64 by the number
of Elements in the Voice. For instance, if a Voice consists of two Elements, the maximum note polyphony for the
Voice is 32.
Effects
The effects can be used to change or enhance the sound of a Multi or Voice.
These include the effects of the Reverb section (17 types) for adding ambient after-tones to the sound, the Chorus
section (17 types) that add animation and depth, and the Variation section (54 types) which features a wealth of
additional effects.
n For more details about the effects, see page 46.
Card Drive/Sequencer
The Card Drive block lets you save data or load data to/from the Memory Card (page 53).
The sequencer block can be used to play back Standard MIDI Files held on Memory Card (page 51).

Parameter Table
Parameter Table
The numbers in each column indicate the display PAGE corresponding to the parameter at left (with the exception of the
column on the far right, which indicates the corresponding manual page). For example, you can see that the Reverb Send
parameter is found on three separate display pages: PAGE 22 of Multi Part Edit, PAGE 11 of Normal Voice Common Edit,
and PAGE 9 of Drum Voice Key Edit.
This table is helpful in locating the corresponding display pages in different modes. This is handy when you want to make
the same or similar settings to the same parameter in a different mode — for example, setting the Reverb Send in the Multi
mode to the same value as Reverb Send in the Voice mode. It’s also handy for cross-checking same parameters for
programming complex sound changes — such as setting the Voice’s Filter Cutoff to a certain value, then going to Cutoff in
the Multi mode and tweaking it further.
Since the owner’s manual page reference is also provided, you can quickly find the corresponding explanation by checking
the currently selected mode and PAGE number on the S08, and referring to this table.

Memory Structure
A Voice is a single instrument sound, created by using the Elements and setting various parameters. In the Voice
Play mode, you can select and play any of these Voices. In the Multi Play mode, you assign a different Voice to each
part and use a sequencer to play several Voices simultaneously.
Voices are stored in the internal memory (PRESET, USER, GM2/XG).
Multis are stored in the internal memory (USER).
* Drum Voices XG121~128 are not of the GM2/XG set, but are original drum kits specifically programmed for the S08.
n A total of 493 (GM2/XG) and 128 (Preset) Normal Voices plus 29 Drum Voices are available as presets. You can create and store
your own original Voices; the S08 has User memory space for 128 User Normal Voices and two User Drum Voices.
