Note: Depending on the knob positions, you might see differnt Menu Entries. As such, you need to be familiar with the basic operational procedures of S80. Please use this as a guideline. The settings below did work for us for a specific version of (OS) Operating System inside, which we do not recall. It is possilbe that there might be some changes made in newer OS, which could require some changes to the process described below. Generally speaking, it should work. S80 is a very complex machine. We have scratched our heads so many times. Since this is not our product, please do not contact us for any specific questions. Please contact YAMAHA, instead.


[Name] indicates a button with the Name designated inside of the brackets.

2. Use an Internal Memory named "Master KB" by [PERFORM], [H], [16], [EDIT], then turn PAGE knob to GEN MIDI), then turn A knob to Part 01. The content of "Master KB" will be changed by the following process. Set 12 Parts according to the table below.

If you have a memory card, you can store it to an External Voice. We use EXT 004 slot. You can copy the content of INT 128 to EXT 004, in this case.
