PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock,
short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
Always connect the three-pin attachment plug to a properly grounded power
source. (For more information about the main power supply, see page 12.)
Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the
outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may
have accumulated on it.
This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to
disassemble or modify the internal components in any way.
Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill
into any openings.
If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a
sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells
or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power
switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the
instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,
and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy
objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over,
or roll anything over it.
When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always
hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-
connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause
overheating in the outlet.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be
used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
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.
Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme
cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the
day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the
internal components.
Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions,
radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect
proper operation of the other products.
Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.
Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint
thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Also, 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.
• Use only the stand/rack specified for the instrument. When attaching the
stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
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.
REPLACING THE BACKUP BATTERY
This instrument contains a non rechargeable internal backup battery which
permits internal data to remain stored even when the power is off. When the
backup battery needs replacing, the message "Change internal battery." will
display in the LCD. When this happens, immediately back up your data, then
have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery.
Do not attempt to replace the backup battery yourself, in order to prevent the
possible serious hazards. Always have qualified Yamaha service personnel
replace the backup battery.
Never place the backup battery in a location that a child can reach, since a
child might accidentally swallow the battery. If this should happen, consult a
physician immediately.
SAVING USER DATA
Always save data to a Memory Card (SmartMedia) frequently, in order to
help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user
operating error.
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.

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha CS6x/CS6R Control Synthesizer.
Your new CS6x/CS6R synthesizer incorporates the highly-acclaimed AWM2 synthesis engine,
allowing the creation of super-realistic sounds. It also supports optional Plug-in Boards that provide
other synthesis engines of your choice, enabling the production of cutting edge synthesizer sounds.
You can play all these sounds using the synthesizer’s automatic playback facilities such as the built-in
Arpeggiator and Sequencer. Using the Phrase Clip feature, you can record real sounds or audio from
a CD, then play them back across the keyboard as you would a musical instrument.
Other features include Effects, Scenes (for storing sounds created with the Control Knobs on the front
panel), and Control Sets (for controlling various sound parameters in real time using different
controllers). These features make this synthesizer ideal for every kind of live performance or studio
work.
When editing a sound, you can use the [PAGE] knob to switch between screens and five other knobs
plus the [DATA] knob for changing parameter values. This makes the process of editing sounds much
easier and smoother. To make the most use of your synthesizer, you are encouraged to read through
this manual. After reading the manual, please keep it in a convenient and safe place for future
reference.
About This Manual
This manual is basically divided into two sections:
Basics Section (Page 6)
Explains how to get started with the synthesizer, its overall structure, and how to use its main features and
functions.
Reference Section (Page 74)
Explains the parameters in the synthesizer’s various Modes.

Before Use
This section explains how to connect to an AC power source, audio and MIDI devices, and a computer
system. Only switch the synthesizer on after you have made all the necessary connections.
It is recommended that you read this section before using the synthesizer.
Power Supply
1Make sure that the instrument’s POWER switch is at the OFF position.
2Connect the supplied power cord to the AC INLET terminal on the instrument’s rear panel.
3Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC outlet. Make sure the synthesizer meets the
voltage requirement for the country or region in which it is being used.
Make sure your CS6x/CS6R is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (as listed on
the rear panel). Connecting the unit to the wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry
and may even pose a shock hazard!
Use only the AC power cord supplied with the CS6x/CS6R. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to
be replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock
hazard!
The type of AC power cord provided with the CS6x/CS6R may be different depending on the country in which it
is purchased (a third prong may be provided for grounding purposes). Improper connection of the grounding
conductor can create the risk of electrical shock. Do NOT modify the plug provided with the CS6x/CS6R. If the
plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use a plug adapter
which defeats the grounding conductor.

Connections
Connecting to External Audio Equipment
Since the synthesizer 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.
The CS6R also needs an external MIDI controller such as a keyboard, though this is not necessary when using
the internal sequencer. For MIDI connections, see the next section.
Connecting Stereo Powered Speakers
A pair of powered speakers can accurately produce the instrument’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.
When using just one powered speaker, connect it to the OUTPUT L/MONO jack on the rear panel.
Connecting to a Mixer
There are extra audio outputs in addition to the OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks. These four
outputs can connect to a mixer for separately controlling the outputs of up to four Parts in
Performance Mode (Page 117). You can specify the output routing of each Part in Performance Edit
Mode (Page 133).

Section
Connecting a pair of headphones does not affect audio output from the OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks.
You can monitor the same sounds via headphones and at the OUTPUT jacks. However, you cannot monitor the
sounds from INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT 1 and 2 with headphones.
Connecting a Microphone or Other Audio Equipment
You can record or import external sounds or waveform data and use them as instrument sounds
(Phrase Clips, see Page 142). When recording from an external audio source, connect a microphone or
the audio source to the A/D INPUT (LINE 1 and MIC/LINE 2) jacks.
LINE 1 and MIC/LINE 2 can receive monophonic signals. To input a monophonic line level signal to the
instrument, use only LINE 1. Use MIC/LINE 2 to input a microphone level signal. When you input stereo line
signals, use both jacks. However, these stereo signals are internally merged into a monophonic signal for use in a
later process.
After the above connections are complete, you are ready to set up for recording. When starting a recording, you
may need to adjust the input gain of the audio source using the GAIN knob. Details about Phrase Clips,
including how to adjust the input gain, are given on Page 142.
If you choose the wrong type of input source (Pages 130, 144), you may possibly damage your hearing and/or any
connected audio equipment. Make sure you set this parameter correctly.
Before connecting a device to the A/D INPUT jack, always turn the GAIN knob all the way down.
Do not use both LINE1 and MIC/LINE2 at the same time except for when you want to input stereo line level
signals, which will be mixed into a mono signal on the instrument. If you fail to do so, the external device
connected may be damaged.
You can connect an external audio source to the A/D Input Part and use it as a Part in a Performance. Details are
given on Pages 73, 130.

Connecting External MIDI Equipment
You can connect an external MIDI device using a MIDI cable (available separately) and control it from
this synthesizer. You can also use an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer to control the
synthesizer’s internal sounds. This section introduces several different applications of MIDI.
The HOST SELECT switch on the rear panel should be set to “MIDI.” Otherwise, MIDI information will not be
transmitted from the synthesizer’s MIDI OUT connector.
Controlling from an External MIDI Keyboard
The CS6R has no built-in keyboard so the above MIDI connection lets you play it in realtime.

Controlling Another MIDI Device via MIDI THRU
With the above MIDI connections, you can send MIDI data from the MIDI OUT connector while
MIDI data from the external sequencer can be sent to an external MIDI synthesizer via the MIDI
THRU jack.
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
When a computer is connected, it can be used to control the synthesizer and to transfer synthesizer
data to/from computer via MIDI. With the included Voice Editor program, for instance, you can edit
the synthesizer’s Voices. Using another program – Card Filer – you can transfer files between the
computer and the Memory Card inserted in the synthesizer’s CARD slot.
There are two ways to connect your synthesizer to a computer:
1: Serial connection (the computer’s serial port to the synthesizer’s TO HOST terminal)
2: MIDI connection (the computer’s MIDI interface or external MIDI interface to the
synthesizer’s MIDI IN and OUT)
Different computers require different connections, as follows.

Connecting Various Controllers
The CS6x has several controller jacks on the rear panel, including FOOT SWITCH, SUSTAIN, FOOT
CONTROLLER, FOOT VOLUME and BREATH. You can connect optional controllers like a Foot
Switch (the FC4 or FC5), Foot Controller (the FC7) and Breath Controller (BC3, etc.) to control tone,
volume, pitch and other parameters. The CS6R only has a Breath Controller connector on its front
panel, but other controls (equivalent to the CS6x) may be available using external MIDI controllers.
Details about how to these controllers are given on Page 47.

Powering Up
Power-on Procedure
When you have made all the necessary connections between your synthesizer and any other devices,
make sure that all volume settings are turned down all the way to zero. Then turn on the every device
in your setup in the order of MIDI masters (senders), MIDI slaves (receivers), then audio equipment
(mixers, amplifiers, speakers, etc.). This ensures the smooth flow of signals from the first device to the
last (first MIDI, then audio).
When powering down the setup, first turn down the volume for each audio devices, then switch off
each device in the reverse order (first audio devices, then MIDI).
When the CS6x/CS6R as MIDI receiver:
Switching the CS6x/CS6R On
Before you switch your synthesizer on or off, first turn down the volume of any audio equipment connected to it.

If you have a Memory Card inserted in the instrument’s CARD slot or an optional Plug-in Board
installed, you may see other screens before the Voice or Performance Play Mode screen is displayed.
If a previously used Memory Card is inserted in the CARD slot, you will see a screen while files in
EXT Memory are being loaded.
If a new Memory Card (one never used on the instrument) is inserted in the CARD slot, you will see
a screen while a basic file is being created in EXT Memory.
If you have a Plug-in Board installed, you will see a screen that confirms the presence of the Plug-in
Board.
The final screen after the power-on sequence may change depending on the Power On Mode setting available
Utility Mode (Page 164).
4Turn up the amplifier’s volume as necessary.
5Turn the synthesizer’s [VOLUME] knob clockwise to set an appropriate volume level.
About Memory Cards
You can save various kinds of data - Voice, Performance, Phrase Clip, Plug-in, Sequence Chain and so
on - onto Memory Card. The built-in CARD slot can accept 3.3-volt Memory Cards (SmartMedia),
and there is a Memory Card supplied with this synthesizer.
Before using a Memory Card, read through precautions on how to handle it (Page 171).
• Formatting a Memory Card
You cannot use a new Memory Card to save files immediately. The card must be formatted in Card
Mode (Page 176) beforehand. The Memory Card supplied with the synthesizer is already formatted
and contains Demo Song files.
• Saving and Loading Data
You can save various kinds of data as files on a formatted Memory Card. Each file on the card can be
loaded when required.
You can save and load data such as System, Voice, Performance, Phrase Clip, Plug-in, Sequence Chain
or the like. Since Phrase Clips or Sequence Chain data are held temporarily in the synthesizer’s
buffer memory and will be lost once you switch it off, you need to save such data onto the Memory
Card first.
Details about formatting a Memory Card, saving and loading data, and the recognized file types are
given on Page 172.
