Yamaha S70XS

 synthesizer is the ultimate keyboard instrument for performing and creating. Yamaha has put it all together for you: a piano sound to die for, exceptional quality instrument sounds, naturally expressive keyboard and convenient, comprehensive controls.

Yamaha S70XS also includes real-time controls for tweaking of the sound as you play, audio recording to USB memory, extensive computer music features, plus compact size and portability. The Yamaha S70XS was designed specifically for players, particularly those who want the highest quality piano sounds and expression, Yamaha S70XS is a performer's dream. Weekend warriors and hobby musicians will also appreciate the exquisite sounds, advanced features and superb playability just as much as top professional artists.

The best musical instruments start with top-quality sounds, and the S90 XS delivers all that - and more. The S Series features all the Voices, Performances, arps and Virtual Circuit Modeling effects found on the flagship MOTIF XS Music Production Synthesizer. Plus Yamaha has added a huge 142 megabytes dedicated exclusively to high-quality piano waveforms, for a total of 456 MB of instrument samples.

Foremost among these new piano sounds are the new samples taken from Yamaha's world-renowned S6 concert grand piano. These fully capture the richly textured sound of that wonderfully expressive instrument, and provide a warm concert grand piano sound unavailable on any other keyboard. For variation, the MOTIF XS piano voice based on a Yamaha CFIIIS is also available.

Yamaha S70XS conventional keyboards in the past had their sounds designed primarily for the listener. Not this time. The Yamaha development team set out to satisfy the player instead. They reasoned that when the performer hears and experiences the best possible sound, the performance would be the best possible, too!

The Yamaha S70XS synthesizer is a genuine musician's keyboard, one that truly inspires and stimulates the live performer as well as the music creator and arranger. Order yours today

The Yamaha S Series
The S Series features all the Voices, Performances, arps and Virtual Circuit Modeling effects found on the flagship MOTIF XS Music Production Synthesizer. In addition, we've added a completely new, luscious piano sound of a whopping 100 megabytes, for an expanded total of 456 MB of instrument samples.

Foremost among these new piano sounds are the new samples taken from Yamaha's worldrenowned S6 concert grand piano. These fully capture the richly textured sound of that wonderfully expressive instrument, and provide a warm concert grand piano sound unavailable on any other keyboard. For variation, the MOTIF XS piano based on a Yamaha CFIIIS is also available.

The S70XS has a wealth of pro-level effects - including a special set of VCM (Virtual circuitry Modeling) effect programs that authentically emulate analog circuitry, realistically recreating the uniquely warm characteristics of vintage processing gear.

Streamline Your Performance
The S70XS also lets you quickly and conveniently create your own custom Performances, with the amazingly fast and easy Performance Creator feature. It's never been easier to select a Voice, then quickly program Layers and Splits - even assigning a Drum Voice complete with arps to create your perfect Performance.

The S70XS gives you comprehensive, easy-to-use controls for your Performances as well - such as Octave and Transpose buttons for quickly changing the pitch, and a Tap Tempo button that lets you easily change the tempo of Arpeggio or MIDI sequence playback on the fly. You can assign virtually any parameter on the instrument to one of the Assignable Function buttons (using the S70XS Voice Editor) and switch the parameter as you play - for example, turning specific sound elements of a Voice on or off. Moreover, the instrument lets you route a click sound to one of the assignable outputs. With this you could let your drummer hear just the click sound and lock into your Arpeggio or MIDI playback.

Ideal for Live Performers

The S70XS has a host of other features that live performers will appreciate - such as the combo input jack that accepts both mic and instrument input. Simply plug in a microphone or guitar, tweak the INPUT GAIN knob (while checking the convenient PEAK lamp), and you're all set! Plus, you can use the Control Knobs to finely adjust the volume and even directly apply reverb or chorus to the sound.

Recording Direct to USB Memory
If you've got a USB memory stick or thumb drive, you can plug Yamaha S70XS into the S70XS and record your performance as audio data. This remarkable feature of Yamaha S70XS lets you instantly capture what you play on the keyboard - including arpeggio playback - to your USB device. If you've connected a microphone, you can even record your singing or playing as well. You can also record audio directly to the internal flash memory (192 MB) built into the instrument, without the need of a memory stick.

Computer Control
The S70XS is a perfect companion for your computer music production system, too, serving both as a master keyboard and a full-function, multi-timbral tone generator. With the DAW Remote function and Yamaha S70XS's 50 different control templates, you get amazingly easy, intuitive control over your main DAW software and VST instruments - directly from the panel controls! Special Remote Editor software lets you change and organize these templates.
