Overview of the S90
The S90 has a wide variety of advanced and convenient features. This section gives you an overview of these
features. The following diagram shows the various component sections or “blocks” of the S90.
Controller
This block consists of the keyboard, Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels, Control Sliders, and so on (page 53).
The keyboard itself doesn’t generate sounds, but instead sends note, velocity and other information to the S90’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 (page 26).
