OMS Settings (Macintosh)

The Voice Editor software uses OMS (Open Music System) for MIDI input/output. To use the Voice Editor software, OMS must be installed beforehand.
n For information about installing OMS, refer to the separate Installation Guide.

About OMS

Voice Editor uses the OMS (Open Music System) to transfer MIDI data to an external MIDI device. OMS is a system extension that goes in the Mac OS System folder, designed to manage the MIDI data stream (input & output) in a computer, to enable MIDI data transfer between MIDI software and hardware attached to the computer. OMS is a de facto standard of the MIDI environment under the Mac OS, and various music software manufacturers have released OMS-compatible sequencer and other software. OMS has the following merits: As OMS-compatible MIDI applications communicate with various MIDI devices via OMS, it is no longer necessary for you to set up multiple MIDI drivers for those applications. Thus, you can avoid conicts between different drivers with the same purpose (MIDI control). Once a Studio Setup is read in OMS, any OMS-compatible application will be aware of it, even if you need to recongure the routing of the MIDI data stream or change the current Studio Setup. OMS-compatible applications will commonly recognize the new conguration. You can have different Studio Setups to choose one from, to switch to a different MIDI routing (patches between MIDI devices and software) fast and easily. Every time the OMS Setup application is opened, any MIDI device connected to the computer is automatically detected, and its icon appears with a current MIDI status (channel number, port number, patches, etc.). Once devices are congured with OMS Setup, however, you need not care too much about the status. OMS can drive various MIDI interfaces, including the standard type (16 channels) and the multi-port type (16 channels per port). If you use a multi-port type, you can control over 16 channels simultaneously via OMS.

n For more information about OMS features, see the READ ME le included with OMS.

Setting up OMS

Setup les for the S03 have already been created for use with Voice Editor; please use the appropriate le for your device.
1. First, interconnect the TO HOST terminal of the S03 and the Macintosh serial port, then set
the Host Select switch of the S03 to Mac.
2. Double-click the OMS Setup icon in the OMS Application folder. 3. Choose Open from the File menu and select S03-Modem from within the OMS setup for

YAMAHA folder.

n If you are using a computer with no modem port (such as the Performa series), look in the S03-Printer folder instead.
4. Choose Make Current from the File menu. The setup for your S03 is now saved as the

current studio setup.

5. Choose Quit from the File menu to close OMS Setup.
n Voice Editor is not compatible with versions of OMS earlier than 2.0.
VoiceEditor.fm Page 24 Tuesday, January 30, 2001 10:31 AM

OMS Port Setup

Having set up OMS, you now need to start up Voice Editor and set the OMS ports.
1. First, start up Voice Editor by double-clicking its icon.
n If AppleTalk is enabled, you will get an alert message. Click OFF. It will take some time for AppleTalk to be disabled.
2. Choose OMS Port Setup from Voice Editors MIDI menu, then select the port settings. In the
following example, the tone generator is a S03 and its settings are applied to OMS.
Key Thru: MIDI In: MIDI Out:
Check this if you are monitoring a sound generator module using an external keyboard. Select S03. Select S03.
3. Click [OK] to close OMS Port Setup.

An Example of Voice Editor in Use
There is no single way in which to use the many components in Voice Editor. Although your editing needs may differ, in any case, the following gives a step-by-step example of how to use Voice Editor. The Library Window is the rst window to open, so thats where the explanation begins.
n In the Library Window, you can open existing Library les containing the Voices you wish to edit, and specic voices can be imported to the Library Window.
1. Click the Editor Setup button in the toolbar of the Library Window to open the Editor Setup
dialog. Then select the appropriate MIDI Out Port and Device No. settings for your S03 synthesizer (See the section Editor Setup Dialog).
n If you are using a Macintosh, you will also need to make settings in OMS (Page 23).
2. Open the Library le. In the Voice List of the Library Window, double-click the voice you wish to

edit. The Edit Window will open for the voice.
3. Various units are arranged in the Edit Window. First, lets set the parameters for Elements 1 to
4 on the Element Unit which make up the voice. Open the dialogs for Elements 1 to 4, select the waveforms, and adjust the tonal characteristics of the voice using the lter and other settings. You can use the graph editors in each dialog to visually edit the parameters.
n You can edit the Element parameters in much ner detail within the EL Detail dialogs. The Element dialogs are linked to the EL Detail dialogs, so changes in one dialog are immediately reected in the other. You can simultaneously view the graphs and the EL Detail dialogs side-by-side while editing. n By clicking or dragging on the buttons of the keyboard at the bottom of the Edit Window, you can monitor the voice you are editing. n By enabling the Compare button in the toolbar in the Edit Window, you can make A/B comparisons between the original voice and the edited voice.
4. Select the Variation Effect Type in the VARIATION EFFECT Unit and set the remaining

parameters.

5. Set the parameters in the SYSTEM EFFECT Unit. 6. Set the Velocity and Portamento parameters if necessary. 7. Click the Store button in the toolbar of the Edit Window to open the Store dialog. This will
store the edits for the current voice in the Library le.
n The edits for the voice are only stored in the Library le temporarily. Beware that if you proceed further without saving the Library le itself, you will lose all your edits.
8. Switch back to the Library Window and click the Save button in the toolbar to save (overwrite)
the Library le. The edits for your voice will be saved with the voice itself in the designated voice list location.
n The Library le you have saved can be opened in the Library Window at any time. Voices in the Library Window can be transmitted to your S03 synthesizer. n You can create a variety of different Library les, each tailored for live performances, recording, etc. Thus, you can conveniently modify voices to suit different situations and needs.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter problems such as no sound output or abnormal behavior, verify the connections before checking the following. If you are using Voice Editor for Windows, refer to the XGworks(lite) owners manual too.

<Macintosh>

The printer port is not recognized. The printer port will not be recognized if AppleTalk is ON. Note that with some Macintosh models, AppleTalk is automatically enabled when starting up. Verify that the Printer checkbox has been checked in the OMS MIDI Setup window. The modem port is not recognized. On some Macintosh models such as the Performa series, the modem port cannot be used and only the printer port is available. Verify that the Modem checkbox has been checked in the OMS MIDI Setup window. No MIDI In/Out data Is the MIDI devices HOST SELECT switch set correctly? Make the correct setting according to the instructions in the S03 Owners Manual. In the OMS Port Setup, is MIDI In/Out set to unknown? If you change the OMS ports or setup, the OMS output ports have to be set accordingly in Voice Editors OMS Port Setup window. Choose the appropriate receiving device. Is OMS using the same port as that connected to the cable? Open the OMS MIDI Setup window and verify that the checkbox for the relevant port has been checked. If the port and setup assignments are frequently altered, OMS may be unable to easily recognize the serial port. Reboot the Macintosh, set up OMS correctly, then start up Voice Editor. Bulk data are not received. Open the OMS Port Setup window and check that the MIDI In has been properly assigned (Page 24). Open the Editor Setup Dialog and check that the Device No. has been properly assigned (Page 10). Voice Editor does not start up when Library File (extension.S3V) is double-clicked. Change the Type/Creator settings for Library Files as follows, then try double-clicking the le again. Type: S3V_ Creator: YS03

<Windows>

Voice Editor is not available in the Plug-in menu. Is the Voice Editor installed in the same folder as XGworks(lite)? If not, reinstall Voice Editor. Bulk data is not received. Is the MIDI In set correctly in the System Setup of XGworks? Open the Editor Setup Dialog and check that the Device No. has been properly assigned (Page 10). MIDI Out port is not available in Editor Setup. The MIDI Out port in Editor Setup can be chosen from the MIDI Out ports in the System Setup of XGworks(lite). Check the MIDI Out settings in the System Setup of XGworks(lite).
<Windows / Macintosh>

Effects in Multi Mode

You can set the desired Effect type for each Effect section as well as its parameter values for each Multi in the Multi mode. By using Variation as an Insertion effect, you can apply the effect to only one of the Parts (see illustration below). As shown in the illustration below, the Reverb section and Chorus section function as System effects, which process all of the Parts, according to each Parts effect send setting and the global effect return setting just like on an actual mixer. When using Variation as an Insertion effect, the signal connection is serial, and the effect is applied only to the selected Part just like patching in an outboard effect on a single instrument channel.

AC1 FMod 21 P 1 000

AC1 AMod 21 P 1 000
AC1 (Assignable Controller 1) The AC1 (Assignable Controller 1) is only available by using an external MIDI controller (such as a foot controller connected to a MIDI keyboard). By setting the AC1 Control Change number here to match the controller on the connected MIDI device, you can use that controller to change the sound, according to the settings made in the other AC1 parameters such as AC1FltCtl, AC1 FMod/PMod, or the Variation Effects AC1VarCtl. For example, by setting AC1 to 2 here, you can use a breath controller to control the Voice of a Part. If the connected MIDI controller is set to 0, the Part cannot be controlled, even by setting the proper Control Change number. For best results, also make sure that the sensitivity parameters (AC1FitCl, AC1 FMod/PMod, or the Variation Effects AC1VarCtl) are set appropriately, as needed.
I AC1 FMod Set the amount by which the lter Cutoff frequency changes when Assignable Controller 1 is used. The larger the setting, the greater the depth of control. (The wah effect becomes deeper.) I AC1 AMod Set the depth of control that Assignable Controller 1 has over the amplitude modulation. A larger setting means a larger modulation depth. (The tremolo effect becomes deeper.)

All Sounds Off (Control #120)
Clears all sounds currently sounding on the specied channel. However, the status of channel messages such as Note On and Hold On is maintained.
Reset All Controllers (Control #121)
The values of the following controllers will be reset to the defaults.

I Pitch Bend

Pitch Bend messages are continuous controller messages that allow the pitch of designated notes to be raised or lowered by a specied amount over a specied duration.

SYSTEM MESSAGES

System messages are the data related to the overall system of the device.
I Active Sensing (Receive only)
Once FE (Active Sensing) has been received, if no MIDI data is subsequently received for longer than an interval of approximately 300msec, the S03 will perform the same function as when All Sounds Off, All Notes Off, and Reset All Controllers messages are received, and will then return to a status in which FE is not monitored. Refer to the MIDI Data Format in the Data List book for more information on the various messages.

1 Disable keyboard control over the tone generator by setting Local Sw (PAGE 2 in the MIDI mode) to off. In this condition, playing the keyboard does not produce any sound. (Page 93) 2 Directly connect the MIDI cable in question one end to the MIDI IN terminal of the S03, the other to the MIDI OUT. This sets up an external MIDI loop, routing the keyboard of the S03 to its tone generator, by way of the MIDI cable (and not by Local Switch). 3 Set the HOST SELECT switch on the rear panel to MIDI. (Page 10) 4 Set the Receive Channel parameter (PAGE 3 in the MIDI mode) to omni (all channels). This allows the Voice to respond to the incoming MIDI data, regardless of the MIDI Transmit Channel setting for the keyboard. 5 Play the keyboard. If youve made all the above settings correctly and you hear the Voice, the MIDI cable is intact.
n Keep in mind that the cable or connections could still be faulty, even if you hear sound especially if the sound is intermittent or cuts in and out. n After conducting this check, make sure to reset the Local Sw (PAGE 2 in the MIDI mode) to on, if necessary. If you leave this set to off, the S03 keyboard will not control its own sounds.
