PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ
BEFORE PROCEEDING.
Following the important precautions below will help ensure you
many years of trouble free use from your CS1x.
LOCATION
In order to avoid causing serious damage to
the CS1x, do not expose it to direct sunlight,
high temperatures, excessive humidity,
excessive dust or strong vibration.
Always place the CS1x on a solid surface such
as a keyboard stand or a sturdy table or desk.
POWER SUPPLY
Turn the power switch off when the CS1x is
not in use.
Use only the supplied PA-3B or an equivalent
AC power adaptor. Use of an incompatible
adaptor may result in irreparable damage to
the CS1x, and could even pose a serious
shock hazard.
The power adaptor should be unplugged
from the AC outlet if the CS1x is not to be
used for an extended period of time.
Unplug the CS1x during electrical storms.
Avoid plugging the CS1x into the same AC
outlet as appliances with high power
consumption such as electric heaters or
ovens. Also avoid using multiple-plug
adapters since these can result in reduced
sound quality and possibly even damage to
the instrument.
UNPLUG ALL INSTRUMENTS
WHEN MAKING CONNECTIONS
To avoid causing damage to the CS1x and
other devices to which it is connected, such
as a sound system or MIDI instruments, turn
off the power and unplug all related devices
prior to connecting or disconnecting audio
and MIDI cables.
ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
Avoid using the CS1x near televisions, radios
or other devices which generate
electromagnetic fields, since this may cause
the CS1x to malfunction, and possibly
generate interference noise in the other
devices.
BACK-UP BATTERY
The CS1x contains a special long-life battery
that retains the contents of its User memory
when the power is turned off. The back-up
battery should last for several years. When it
needs to be replaced, the message "Battery
Low" will appear in the display when the
power is turned on. When this happens, have
the backup battery replaced by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
Do not attempt
to replace the backup battery yourself.
HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
Always handle the CS1x with care. Physical
shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or
placing heavy objects on it can result in
serious damage to the CS1x.
Never apply excessive force to the controls,
connectors or other parts.
Disconnect all cables before moving the
CS1x. Always unplug cables by gripping the
plug firmly, and not by pulling on the cable.
CLEANING
Never use chemical solvents or thinners to
clean the CS1x, since these will damage the
finish or dull the keys. Wipe the instrument
clean with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use
a soft, clean cloth slightly moistened with a
diluted, mild detergent. Then wipe the
instrument thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the
instrument, since vinyl can stick to and
discolor the surface.
DATA BACKUP
Yamaha recommends that you regularly save
your music data using an external MIDI data
storage device such as the Yamaha MDF2
MIDI Data Filer. Yamaha cannot be held
responsible for the accidental loss of CS1x
data.
SERVICE AND MODIFICATION
The CS1x contains no user serviceable parts,
so never open the case or tamper with the
internal circuitry in any way. Doing so may
result in electrical shock or damage to the
instrument. Refer all servicing to qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage
to the CS1x resulting from improper handling
or operation, or for the accidental loss of CS1x
data.

In the beginning, there was the knob…
And the knob was good. Great, in fact.
You could just reach out and grab it. Turn it left. And turn it right.
Interact with it in realtime.
And there were knobs of all kinds. Knobs for changing the attack
and release times of a sound. Knobs for setting the cutoff filter and
resonance. And knobs for controlling many other aspects of analog
synthesizer sounds.
By twisting a knob one way and another, a vast, practically endless
variety of electronic sounds could be called forth. Fat sounds. Strange
sounds. Beautiful sounds. Magical sounds.
It was the 1960s, and such was the power of the knob that music
was changed forever.
And the term synthesizer became a household word.
But the knob was not perfect…
From the start the knob was brilliant and easy to grasp. It put the
musician in complete control of the sound. And opened up a whole
new world of sonic exploration.
It was the 1970s, and some of the greatest recordings in music history
were being made. Analog "synths" were finding their way into the stages,
studios and professional composing suites of the world.
But as simple, straightforward and powerful as analog synths were,
they were also for the most part priced out of reach of the struggling
musician. Plus they tended to be sensitive to slight fluctuations in electric
current which frequently wreaked havoc with pitch, thus making tuning
inherently unstable.
And there was no reliable way to save panel settings and original
sounds except for tediously scrawling lists and notes with pencil and
paper.
Surely there must be a better way.
Engineers the world over went to work searching for a better way,
and great strides were made in the development of more stable, lower
cost, and more convenient technologies.
A breakthrough in electronic sound synthesis was imminent.
Then came the miracle of digital…
The beginning of the 1980s saw breakthroughs in digital synthesizer
technology which was to once again revolutionize modern music.
Musicians everywhere embraced affordable new technologies like
FM, which could accurately reproduce the sound characteristics of
acoustic and other instruments, and AWM (PCM), which relied on
"samples" of actual instrument sounds to produce an amazing wealth
of musical textures and sonic options.
The new spate of digital synthesizers were—on the outside—much
more streamlined than analog synths, sporting a minimal array of buttons
and a display screen which provided information about each feature.
Overnight the knob was rendered virtually obsolete.
Unstable tunings were a thing of the past. Memory was the future.
Digital synths were—on the inside—more loaded than ever, as
hundreds of amazing acoustic and electronic sounds, or voices, could
be stored and recalled at the touch of a button. Scores of new and exciting
features were available. Entire panel settings and configurations could
also be stored for instant recall.
It was the digital revolution that made MIDI, GM, XG, sequencing,
sampling, looping, multitimbral play, DSP effects and many other
breakthroughs in electronic music technology possible.
Developments that have changed forever the way we teach, compose,

on the panel.
A collection of six rotary Sound Control Knobs are irresistible to the
touch—and provide instant sonic results when turned.
Between the Sound Control Knobs, the clearly labeled panel switches,
and the back lit LCD, the current status of the CS1x is always crystal
clear.
The numeric keypad and other buttons—including Scenes, or
"snapshots" of knob positions—give you quick and easy access to any
parameter or setup you need, the moment you need it.
As such, the CS1x is an unprecedented realtime performance
instrument.
The hundreds of great sounding AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory
2) instrument voices (created from high quality recordings of actual
instrument and other sounds), three digital effects units (with 11 Reverb,
11 Chorus and 43 Variation type effects) and scores of other parameters
can be configured in an almost unlimited variety of ways and stored in
memory for instant recall.
Performances, or complete configurations of up to four Layers
(voices) playing simultaneously, plus effect and other parameters, and
Multis, or a configuration of up to 16 Parts and other parameters for
multitimbral play (using an external sequencer or computer), provide a
unique array of options which make the CS1x a handy synth for literally
any type of music situation.
Thirty-two notes of polyphony ensure that you always have enough
available notes to play even the most demanding arrangement.
The on-board arpeggiator which can generate various types of
automatic arpeggios or be controlled by an external MIDI clock provides
an extremely useful tool for spicing up your masterpieces—or setting
the dance floor on fire.
Go forth and multiply…
As simple—yet powerful—as the CS1x is on its own, it has also
been specially engineered to easily fit right into any type of expanded
music system you wish to create.
General MIDI (GM) compatibility makes the CS1x an ideal
multitimbral tone generator for accurately playing any of the many
Standard MIDI File or other commercially available GM music data using
an external sequencer.
XG compatibility makes the CS1x completely state of the art—
conveniently able to take advantage of the expanded sound and
expressive capabilities that this exciting new format will offer in the
coming months and years.
A TO HOST terminal and HOST SELECT switch provides for direct
interface with either PC and Macintosh computers, thus enabling you
to easily jump right into the "desktop music" revolution without the
need for any additional peripheral interfacing equipment.
If you're a first-time synthesizer owner, the CS1x lets you expand
your music system at your own pace.
First you might want to add an affordable Yamaha QY series
sequencer and take advantage of the CS1x's powerful multitimbral
capabilities. With a QY sequencer you can record and play back up to
16 music "parts", each on an independent MIDI channel—just like a
multitrack recorder, but with virtually unlimited editing capabilities.
Next you might want to add the compact, low-cost Yamaha SU10
sampler which lets you capture music phrases and other sounds to add
an entirely unique dimension to your music.
Finally you might want to add a computer which will let you take
advantage of the many different types of music software products now
available plus those yet to come.
With the CS1x at the heart of your system, you're ready to grow
your own unique music system and take your musical capabilities as far
as you want—naturally.
perform and listen to music.
Global design standards ensured that music hardware and software
products made by different manufacturers could work together
seamlessly.
But alas, digital did not create a perfect world.
Chaos reigned over the land…
As convenient, dynamic and accessible as digital synthesis was, still
it was not perfect. It had certain limitations, though different ones than
analog synthesis.
Streamlined panel layouts and the demise of the knob meant that
all those hundreds of great new features had to be organized and stacked
in pages and subpages of hidden menus—which might mean several
presses of one or more buttons just to find a feature, and several more
to actually manipulate it.
And the steep learning curve of many digital synthesizers became a
legend unto itself. Alarmingly, the synth was on its way to becoming a
thing of science, rather than an intuitive musical instrument.
It was, therefore, inevitable that many would come to mourn
nostalgically for the days of simplicity—for the knob. For those warm,
fat, wonderful analog sounds. For fewer hidden features.
And for a simpler, easier to use electronic instrument.
There was a definite need for an analog-style digital synthesizer
that would have intuitive knobs plus all the benefits of digital memories
and other convenient—especially interactive—features.
One that could satisfy even the most die-hard advocate of analog or
digital synthesis.
A perfectly versatile synthesizer as attractive to first-time synth
owners as to desktop music hobbyists, serious amateurs, and even
seasoned professionals.
A powerful stand-alone performance instrument with hot dance
music and other versatile voices, as suited for the cutting edge as for the
classics.
An ideal multitimbral MIDI component which could fit right into
even the most sophisticated expanded system.
One with extremely modest pricing for such powerful utility.
It was only a matter of time before the thunder of analog would
unite with the lightning of digital to once again challenge convention
and ultimately change the landscape of music possibilities yet once more.
And Yamaha heard their cries…
Fortunately Yamaha recognized that something new and significant
must be created to bring together the best of both analog and digital
worlds.
The result was the Yamaha Control Synthesizer CS1x.
The CS1x takes the best of analog—simplicity of use, natural
interactivity, thick sound, and, of course, the knob—and unites it with
the best of digital—reliable pitch, plenty of memory, one-touch setting
reconfigurations, hundreds of voices, MIDI, and much, much more—
to begat a truly unique "control" synthesizer.
One with all the familiar concepts loved by both analog and digital
afficianados. One destined to satisfy even the most meticulous purist in
each camp.
Nothing to hide…
Perhaps the most striking—certainly refreshing—aspect of the CS1x
Control Synthesizer is the way it wears its heart on its sleeve.

" SOUND CONTROL
KNOBS
The six Sound Control Knobs give
you direct access to key parameters
of the currently selected
Performance/voice. Turning any
Sound Control Knob to the left or
right will offset the parameter values
accordingly (left for negative values,
right for positive values) and
produce an immediate result; a letter
"E" will appear next to the
Performance number in the LCD to
indicate the original voice has been
edited. Each knob has a center
detent which represents the original
value of the parameter.
ATTACK (Knob 1) - This knob
controls the initial attack time of the
voice. Turn it left for a faster attack
time; turn it right for a slower attack
time. (See page 30)
RELEASE (Knob 2) - This knob
controls the release time of the voice.
Turn it left for a shorter release time;
turn it right for a longer release time.
(See page 32.)
ASSIGN 1/DATA (Knob 3) - This
knob has two functions. As an
ASSIGN 1 knob, you can assign one
of 28 parameters—including
Performance Volume, Arpeggiator
Tempo or Type, Portamento Time,
and others—to control by turning it
(see page 26). As a DATA entry knob,
you can use it to quickly change the
edit value of the currently selected
edit parameter.
CUTOFF (Knob 4) - This knob
determines the cutoff frequency of
the filter, or the frequency point
above which other frequencies are
filtered out. Turn it left for a deeper,
more rounded tone; turn it right for
a thinner, brighter tone. (See page
25.)
RESONANCE (Knob 5) - This knob
determines the amount of filter
resonance or emphasis of the cutoff
frequency. Turn it left to produce a
relatively flat response; turn it right
to add overtones and make the
sound more resonant. (See page 34.)
ASSIGN 2 (Knob 6) - This knob can
be used to control any one of 28
parameters which you can assign to
it—including Volume, Note Shift,
Pan, Chorus Send, and others. (See
page 29.)
# SCENE 1 & 2
Each Performance has two Scene
memories which remember specific
positions of the six Sound Control
Knobs. (See page 16.)
Simply press SCENE 1 or SCENE 2

Pressing this button while holding
SHIFT will "hold" the arpeggiated
chord, or make it continue playing
even when you release the keys.
Pressing this button again stops the
Arpeggiator. (See page 23.)
An Arpeggiator Split function lets you
split the keyboard at C3; the chords
you play to the left of the split point
will create arpeggiated chords, and
the notes and chords you play to the
right of the split point will play as
normal. (See page 23.)

GETTING STARTED
Setting Up Your CS1x
The CS1x With An External
Sequencer
The illustration below shows how to use the CS1x with a Yamaha QY
series sequencer, which lets you take full advantage of the CS1x's
multitimbral capability to play up to 16 different musical instrument Parts
at once.
You will need MIDI cables to make the proper connections.
1. Connect a MIDI cable from the CS1x's MIDI OUT terminal to the
sequencer's MIDI In terminal, and connect another MIDI cable from
the CS1x's MIDI IN terminal to the sequencer's MIDI Out terminal.
2. Set the HOST SELECT switch to MIDI.

CS1x
In this case, the notes you play on the keyboard will be sent as MIDI note
event data to a specified MIDI channel of the sequencer. By selecting
different channels, you can record each Part independently, while listening
to those Parts you've already recorded.
When recording Parts to an external sequencer, you need to turn the
keyboard Local setting to OFF (see page 42). When keyboard Local is
turned off, the notes you play on the keyboard will not sound the CS1x's
internal tone generator, but note and other performance event data will
still be sent from the MIDI OUT terminal.
Since the CS1x's internal tone generator will respond to note and other
data it receives at the MIDI IN terminal, the notes you play on the keyboard
will be sent to the sequencer, then "echoed back" to the CS1x to play one
of the 16 Parts (depending on the current MIDI channel assignment).
For details about assigning CS1x MIDI channels, see page 41. For details
about assigning MIDI channels and other settings for the external devices
such as a sequencer, consult the owner's manual of each.
The Control Synthesizer CS1x literally comes ready to play right out of
the box.
Connect the supplied PA-3B DC power adaptor to the CS1x's DC IN
connector on the rear panel. Then connect the adaptor to the nearest
electrical outlet.
Before
switching on the power, connect any peripheral devices such as
amplified speakers or MIDI instruments.
There are many ways to incorporate the CS1x into a simple or expanded
music system. Below are a few examples to get you started.
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the PA-3B. Use of an
incompatible adaptor may result in irreparable damage to the CS1x, and
could even pose a serious shock hazard.
• Be sure to disconnect the power adaptor from the electrical outlet when
the CS1x is not in use.
The CS1x By Itself
At the simplest level, all you need to do is connect stereo headphones to
the PHONES jack located on the rear panel.
As a stand-alone performance instrument, simply connect the CS1x to
amplified speakers, as follows:
For stereo use, connect one end of a pair of audio cables to the CS1x's
OUTPUT (L/MONO, R) jacks, and the other end to each amplified
speaker's input, as shown in the illustration below. (For mono use, connect
one end of a single audio cable to the CS1x's L/MONO jack, and the
other end to the amplified speaker's input.)

CAUTION
In order to avoid possible damage to the speakers or other connected

make sure the CS1x's volume level and the volume levels of the connected
equipment are set to minimum.
10
Connecting The CS1x To A
MIDI Data Storage Device
You can also connect the CS1x with a MIDI data storage device, such as
the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer in order to "bulk dump", or save a
User Performance ("1 Perf" setting) or all the User Performances and Utility
parameters ("All" setting) to floppy disks.
This lets you build up complete libraries of Performance and other data,
which you can easily load back into the CS1x. (The MDF2 also lets you
play compatible song data on the CS1x directly from the MDF2 itself,
without the need for a sequencer.)
For information about how to perform Bulk Dump operations with the
CS1x, see page 42. Refer to the owner's manual of the MIDI data storage
device for operating instructions about sending and receiving data.

How The CS1x
Generates Sound
Oscillators, Filters And
Amplifiers
Synthesizers rely on three key electronic components to imitate the
soundwaves of musical instrument voices, as well as create entirely new
sounds.
In traditional analog synthesis the source sound pitch is generated by an
oscillator
, its tone is created by a
filter
, and its volume is determined by
an
amplifier
.
AMPLIFIERSFILTERSOSCILLATORS
DETERMINES
VOLUME
CREATES
TONE
GENERATES
PITCH
! The oscillator generates sound wave vibrations at controllable speeds,
or frequencies, to create pitch. Synthesizer oscillators usually offer a
range of frequencies between 20 Hz and 20kHz, which is the range
of the audio spectrum that most human beings can hear. They also
usually offer various types of sound waveforms, such as sine, sawtooth,
and others.
" Musical instrument sounds are made up of the basic tone that we
clearly distinguish, plus additional harmonics, or overtones which
exist at each octave above the basic tone, but that we cannot distinctly
hear. The filter provides control over these harmonics. By manipulating
the filter's cutoff frequency, which decides where to delete—or cut
off—the overtones, and resonance settings, you can thus determine
the tone.
# An amplifier controls the volume of the tone. An envelope generator
(EG) determines the tone's volume over time, through attack, decay,
sustain and release settings.
AWM2 Waveforms
The CS1x takes the familiar concepts and functions of analog synthesis
and combines them with the state of the art in digital synthesis technology.
As such, it has hundreds of AWM2 waveforms, or digital recordings
("samples"), of all types of musical instrument and other sounds
programmed right inside—including everything from a violin bow
scraping a string, to a mallet striking a marimba, to a breath blowing
across a flute mouthpiece.
An AWM2 waveform forms the fundamental tone source of a CS1x voice;
the rest of the sound is contoured by the oscillator, filter and amplifier
settings. CS1x synthesis gives you enormous realtime and other control
over detailed aspects of all parameter settings.
In order to better understand what's actually happening to the sound as
you turn the Sound Control Knobs or modify other parameters, it is helpful
to first take a look at the key components which make up the physical
nature of sound.
The Nature
Of Sound
What is sound? If we could see sounds they would look like waves rippling
through the air at a constant speed with high frequencies bunched close
together and lower frequencies spread far apart.
Our ears are naturally designed to take these physical vibrations—or
sound waves—moving through the air around us at high, mid and low
frequencies, and interpret them as a dog barking across the street, someone
practicing a violin next door, a jet airplane screaming overhead, or rock
music on the stereo in front of you.
Generating
Electronic
Sounds
There are three basic elements which make up a sound:
pitch
, or how low or high it is
tone
, or what its overall quality is like
amplitude
, or how loud its volume level is
Before we take a look at how the CS1x generates and manipulates pitch,
tone and amplitude, lets first take a look at how these elements apply
naturally to acoustic musical instruments.
Acoustic musical instruments are specifically designed and carefully built
to produce precise sound characteristics when played—which is why a
violin always sounds like a violin, a piano always sounds like a piano,
and a flute always sounds like a flute.
A musician playing a finely crafted violin will scrape the bow across the
string at a certain intensity to generate violin sound waves at a certain
volume level (
amplitude
), and produce low or high notes based on
fingering positions (
pitch
). The vibrating strings and resonating wood, as
well as the playing style and technique of the musician, will determine
the overall quality of the violin's sound (
tone
).
13
CS1x Synthesis
The secret behind the CS1x's exceptional quality sound is its ability to create rich and complex sonic textures in Performances, which are made up of
Layers of up to four AWM2 voices—either sounding simultaneously or mapped to various note and velocity zones across the keyboard.

CS1x MAIN
OPERATING
MODES
The CS1x has two main operating modes: Performance mode and Multi
Play mode. The chief distinction between each mode is as follows:
Performance mode is primarily for realtime performance of
Layers
. It
has six menus of Edit parameters.
Multi Play mode is primarily for multitimbral playback of up to 16
Parts
when external MIDI devices are connected. It has one menu of
Edit parameters. You can also use the CS1x as a MIDI data input
device for an external sequencer.
Utility mode lets you modify System and MIDI parameters which affect
both Performance and Multi Play mode. (For more information about
Utility mode, see page 40.)
Store mode lets you store your own User Performances and Scenes. (For
more information about Store mode, see page 44.)
Performance
Mode
If you're in a different mode, press the PERFORMANCE button to enter
Performance mode.
In Performance Play mode you can select a Performance from 128 Preset
Performances and 128 User Performances and begin playing.
A
Performance
is comprised of up to four "Layers", or AWM2 voices
sounding at once—either playing simultaneously across the length of the
keyboard, or playing independently according to specified key and
velocity ranges.
There are many Performance parameters which you can edit by
offsetting
parameter values—i.e., adding to or subtracting from the values which
are preset for each voice. There are basically two ways to go about offsetting
the parameters—by turning the Sound Control Knobs, or using the Edit
Parameter Rotary Switch and Parameter Value UP/DOWN buttons.
Changing any parameter will automatically engage Performance Edit
mode. (You can easily switch back Performance Play mode by pressing
the PERFORMANCE button or PROGRAM [–]/[+] button.)

! PERFORMANCE BANKS - The CS1x comes preprogrammed with
128 Preset Performances and 128 User Performances. You can edit
the Layers of the currently selected Performance and store it in a User
Performance.
" LAYERS - A Performance consists of up to four Layers—each Layer
can be assigned its own AWM2 voice. There are many Layer and
Common Performance parameters which can be edited.
# AMP EG/FILTER - Turning the Sound Control Knobs will affect all
Layers equally by offsetting AMP EG parameters to control the shape
of the volume of the sound over time, and FILTER parameters to control
the quality of the tone. In Edit mode you can assign which parameters
the ASSIGN 1 and ASSIGN 2 knobs will control.
$ COMMON EDIT 1~2 - These are "Common" parameters which affect
all Layers in the Performance equally.
% LAYER EDIT 1~4 - These are "Layer" parameters which let you modify
the characteristics of each individual Layer. Select the Layer you want
to edit using the PART/LAYER [–]/[+] buttons.
Storing User Performances
Storing your own User Performance is a quick and simple operation.
1. To store the current Performance, press the STORE button once.
2. Choose a User Performance number (1~128) using the numeric
keypad.
3. Press ENTER.
A "Sure?" prompt will appear in the LCD. Press YES to store the
Performance. Press NO to abort the operation.
Scenes
There are two "Scene" memories dedicated to each Performance. Scenes
are simply "snapshots" of specific positions of the Sound Control Knobs—
instantly accessible via the SCENE buttons.
You can select one of the Scenes by pressing the SCENE 1 or SCENE
2 button. Or you can hold one SCENE button and press the other,
then use the Modulation Wheel or Foot Controller for realtime
continuous parameter changes between one Scene and the other.
The default controller is Modulation Wheel. The minimum position
of the controller is Scene1, and the maximum position is Scene 2.
Storing Scenes
You can easily store your own Scenes in a Performance—either
temporarily or permanently.
To store a Scene temporarily in the currently selected Performance, hold
a SCENE button and press STORE.
This will store the Scene in the edit buffer as long as the current Performance
is selected, so that the original Scenes are protected. If you select another
Performance, any new Scenes will be lost.
To store a Scene permanently in a Performance, simply perform the Store
operation for User Performances. (See
Storing User Performances
, above.)

Multi Play
Mode
In Multi Play mode you can select a voice from the GM bank of 128
AWM2 voices (accessible via the PROGRAM [–]/[+] buttons) and start
playing in realtime.
Multi Play mode lets you use the CS1x as a master keyboard controller or
MIDI note data input device, as well as a multitimbral tone generator.
A
Multi
is a configuration of up to 16 instrument "Parts" (each Part is
assigned to a MIDI channel) which can be played simultaneously when
an external sequencer or computer is connected to the CS1x.
Choose the Part with the PART/LAYER [–]/[+] buttons, and assign a voice
to it by selecting from the 480 GM- and XG-compatible AWM2 normal
(instrument) voices and 11 drum voices (kits), using the Edit menu Bank
and Program Parameter Value UP/DOWN button.
In Multi Play mode there is one menu of Edit parameters which can be
accessed via the Parameter Value UP/DOWN button.
Turning the Sound Control Knobs will affect only a single AWM2 voice,
i.e., the currently selected Part.

PART SELECT
PART SELECT - In Multi Play mode each "Part" is made up of an AWM2
voice. You can select and play any of the 16 Parts by pressing the PART/
LAYER [–]/[+] buttons. Since the notes you play on the keyboard and the
buttons you press on the panel are sending MIDI messages, the CS1x is
ideal as a MIDI input device.
EDITING PARTS - Select the Part you want to edit using the PART/LAYER
[–]/[+] buttons. Each of the Multi parameters are printed above the
Parameter Value UP/DOWN button. To set up your own 16 Parts, assign
a voice to the Part using the Bank and Program parameters accessible by
the first two Parameter Value UP/DOWN buttons. (Note that these settings
will not be retained when the power is turned off, since the XG default
parameters are always reinstated when the power is turned on. If you
insert voice Program Change messages at the head of your sequences,
however, the right Part voices will always be selected automatically when
you start your sequencer from the beginning of the song.)
MULTITIMBRAL PLAY - As a GM- and XG-compatible multitimbral
MIDI tone generator, the CS1x can receive note and other data on each
of the 16 MIDI channels, sent from an external sequencer or computer,
thus playing the corresponding 16 Parts.
XG Operation
The CS1x is a fully equipped, stand-alone XG-MIDI tone generator,
featuring a total of 480 normal voices and 11 drum voices.
The XG format maintains the universality and compatibility of the MIDI
and General MIDI System Level 1 standards, while significantly increasing
the range of expressiveness through much greater control over voice
modifications and effects.
In addition to supporting the 128 GM voices, the XG format provides for
Bank Select messages that significantly expand the number of voices
available for use.
Many of the new XG voices are variations of basic GM voices which are
stored in additional banks. Each bank is associated with a specific type of
variation, so that voices are easy to locate. When using an external
sequencer to control the CS1x, additional banks are selected by the
appropriate Bank-Select LSB values.
The XG format also supports a full SFX bank of extension effects, which
are selected by a Bank-Select MSB value of 40H. Bank-Select MSB 7H,
in contrast, can be used to set any channel to rhythm-part play.
The XG format allows creation of extremely expressive control data which
can change a voice's Harmonic Contents, Brightness, and many more
critical Control Change and other parameters.
The XG format also offers high level effects support, enabling control of
effects types, circuit operation, plus internal parameter settings for both
basic and elaborate effects. This means you can freely control the
parameters of the CS1x's 11 Reverb, 11 Chorus and 43 Variation types of
effects independently.
(For more information about MIDI related parameters, see the
Appendix
,
page 53.)
The CS1x also features another play mode —TG300B mode— which
lets you play back commercially available MIDI files in this format.
