(3)-7 1/2

Connections

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic
components, turn off the power for all components. Before
turning the power on or off for all components, set all
volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes
of all components at their minimum levels and gradually
raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to
set the desired listening level.

Backup battery

• This instrument has a built-in lithium backup battery. When
you unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, the internal data
is retained. However, if the backup battery fully discharges,
this data will be lost. When the backup battery is running
low, the LCD indicates “!BatteryLo.” In this case,
immediately save the data to a Memory Card
(SmartMedia), then have qualified Yamaha service
personnel replace the backup battery.

Maintenance

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical­impregnated wiping cloths.

Handling caution

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into
the gaps on the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off
the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the
AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the
instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the
instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons,
switches or connectors.

• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a
high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause
permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss
or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Saving data

Saving and backing up your data

• Any edited data (see pages 33 and 40) that is left un-stored
will be lost if you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the
data to the USER memory (see page 50).

• USER memory data (see page 20) is retained when the
power is turned off, as long as the backup battery retains a
charge. However, the data could be lost due to malfunction
or incorrect operation. Save important data to a Memory
Card (SmartMedia).

Backing up the Memory Card (SmartMedia)

•To protect against data loss through media damage, we
recommend that you save your important data onto two
Memory Cards (SmartMedia).

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost
or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.
When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

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

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.

S08 as MIDI slave (MIDI receiving device)

12345678910111213141516LR

Audio equipment (first mixer, then amplifier)

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.

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).

12

Before Use

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.

VOLUME

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.

Basics SectionQuick GuideReferenceAppendix

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.

Powered speaker

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.

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.

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.

MIDI IN

External MIDI synthesizer

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.

Computer

S08

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.
