Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha S08 Music Synthesizer. In order to get the most out of your new S08 and its
sophisticated functions, we suggest you read through this manual thoroughly. Also keep it in a safe, convenient place
so that you can regularly refer to it when necessary.
Package Contents
• PA-5C AC Adaptor *• CD-ROM•Installation Guide
• Owner’s Manual• Data List
* May not be included in your area. Please check with your Yamaha dealer.
About the Included CD-ROM
Application software for your S08 is included on this CD-ROM. The Voice Editor lets you edit the Voices of the S08
with a highly intuitive graphical interface. With the included sequencing software (Windows only), you can easily
create and edit your own original songs on your computer. For details, refer to the separate Installation Guide or the
on-line manual included with the software.
Never attempt to play back the CD-ROM on an audio CD player. Doing so may result in damage to your hearing as well as
to your CD player/audio speakers.
Main Features
•Exceptionally high-quality dynamic Voices — including many sounds from Yamaha’s top-of-the-line S80 Music
Synthesizer (page 16).
•Naturally responsive 88-key Balanced Hammer Effect keyboard, drawing on our extensive experience and
expertise in piano-making.
•Wide variety of pro-quality digital effects (page 46).
•Category Search function for quickly calling up Voices in a desired instrument group (page 31).
•A total of 493 Normal Voices and 29 Drum Voices, all GM2/XG-compatible — in addition to Preset Voices and
User Voices (page 20).
•Memory cards, which let you easily organize and archive the internal data (page 53).
•Sequence Play function, that lets you directly play song files stored to memory cards (page 51).
•Comprehensive, detailed editing features for customizing your Voices (page 40 and 58).
•Convenient USB terminal for direct, easy connection to computer — with just one cable (page 14).
GM System Level 1
“GM System Level 1” is a standard specification that defines the arrangement of voices in a tone generator and its MIDI
functionality, ensuring that data can be played back with substantially the same sounds on any GM-compatible tone
generator, regardless of its manufacturer or model. Tone generators and song data that meet the “GM System Level 1” bear
this GM logo.
GM System Level 2 (GM2)
“GM System Level 2” is a standard specification that enhances the original “GM System Level 1” and improves song data
compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater voice selection, expanded voice parameters, and integrated effect
processing. Tone generators and song data that meet the “GM System Level 2” specifications bear this GM2 logo.
XG
“XG” is a tone generator format that expands the voice arrangement of the “GM System Level 1” specification to meet the
ever-increasing demands of today’s computer peripheral environment, providing richer expressive power while maintaining
upward compatibility of data. “XG” greatly expands “GM System Level 1” by defining the ways in which voices are expanded
or edited and the structure and type of effects.
When commercially available song data bearing the XG logo is played back on a tone generator which bears the XG logo, you
will enjoy a full musical experience that includes unlimited expansion voices and effect functions.
USB
USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting a computer with peripheral devices.
It allows “hot swapping” (connecting peripheral devices while the power to the computer is on).

About the “Page” References in this Manual
PAGE xx.....Refers to a display “page” in the LCD
page xx........Refers to an actual page in this manual.
Many of the functions and parameters of the S08 are shown on various display “pages,” each of which is numbered
within each mode and indicated in the display. Searching for a function or parameter is made more convenient and
fast by the use of these page numbers.
To distinguish these display page references from actual pages in the manual, we’ve applied the following convention:
“PAGE” (all capital letters) refers to the display page. Unless indicated otherwise, the PAGE reference is for display
pages within the same mode (as described for other parameters in the same section).
Throughout the manual, parameter names are prefaced by numbers, such as “13-2 Resonance.” This, for example,
indicates that the Resonance parameter is on display PAGE 13 in the selected mode.
When one display page contains two or more related parameters, use the []/[] buttons (page 26) to scroll
through the available parameters. These related parameters selected by the []/[] buttons are indicated by
hyphenated numbers (e.g., 13-1, 13-2, etc.). In the example above, you can select the Resonance parameter by using
the []/[] buttons to move to the second page.
nFor a full listing of the parameters and their corresponding display pages, refer to the Function List (page 58) or the
Parameter Table (page 18).
●Copying of the commercially available music sequence data and/or digital audio files is strictry prohibited except

silence. The level (Y-axis in the illustrations below)
is a different aspect of the sound, depending on
which EG is being used. For the PEG, level
corresponds to Pitch. For the FEG, it corresponds to
the cutoff frequency. For the AEG, it corresponds to
the volume.
The behavior of the EG over time is controlled by
the Rate (R) parameters. Rate refers to the time it
takes to go from one level to the next (for example,
from the initial level to the attack level).
The illustrations below show how different Rate
settings affect the sound. To extend the time
between level changes and make it long, set the Rate
(R) to a small value.

In PAGES 32 to 35, you can edit the LFO, which (as
its name suggests) produces waveforms of a low
frequency. These waveforms can be used to vary
the pitch, filter or amplitude of each Element to
create effects such as vibrato, wah and tremolo.
However, the actual available LFO parameters will
vary according to the type of Element.
The LFO is capable of producing a wide variety of
effects in various ways. By modulating the pitch
over an adjustable amount, it creates vibrato. By
modulating the filter over an adjustable range of
frequencies, it creates wah-wah and dynamic filter
sweep effects. By modulating the volume (or
“amplitude”) of the sound over an adjustable depth,
it creates tremolo.

Set the Effect Parameters
For an application example showing how to use the
effect, see page 46.
6Storing Edited Voices
Up to 128 new/edited Normal Voices and 2 new/edited
Drum Voices can be stored to internal user memory.
When storing a Voice, any existing data at the storage
location will be lost. You should always back up
important data to computer or some other storage
medium beforehand.
nFor details about storing Voices, see page 50.

Effects
Effects
In the final stages of programming, you can set the effects parameters to further change the sound’s character.
The S08 has two System Effect units (Reverb and Chorus) plus a Variation Effect unit (see below).
Different effects settings can be set per Voice (in the Voice mode) and per Multi (in the Multi mode), though the
connection between the Effect units will vary in each case.
Reverb
The Reverb block includes a selection of 17 different
reverb-type effects, including realistic simulations of
the natural reverberation found in various halls and
rooms. In the Multi mode, the Reverb settings will
apply to the Multi as a whole.
In the Voice mode, the Reverb Send parameter can be
set for each Voice.
Chorus
The Chorus block includes a selection of 17 chorus-
type effects, including a flanger and others. Most of
these effects are ideal for adding thickness to the
sound. In the Multi mode, the Chorus settings will
apply to the Multi as a whole. In the Voice mode, the
Chorus Send parameter can be set for each Voice.
Variation
A total of 54 different Effect types are available in the
Variation block. These range from conventional effects
such as Reverb, for enhancing the sound, to wilder
effects such as Distortion, for actively changing the
sound, or creating new sounds.
nFor details about each Effect Type, refer to the Effect
Type List in the separate Data List.
System and Insertion Effects
The S08 effects units can be designated as either
System or Insertion effects. Reverb and Chorus are
always System effects, which means they can be
applied to any or all Parts. The Variation effect can
also be a System effect, or it can be designated as an
Insertion effect, which means it can be dedicated to
a specific Part.
Basically, S08 System and Insertion effects work the
same way as in a sound mixer, as shown in the
diagram on the next page. For example, System
effects can be applied to instruments (i.e., Parts)
which are connected to the various mixer channels;
the amount of each System effect is determined by
channel “send” and system “return” level controls.
An Insertion effect can be connected (“inserted”)
into the signal flow of a specific channel in order to
process the sound of that instrument (i.e., Voice/
Part) only.
In the Voice mode of the S08, the Insertion effect
(Variation) can be applied to a Voice, while in the
Multi Play mode it can only be applied to a single
Part.
The System and Insertion effect configurations can
be controlled in detail by XG song data (signified by
the XG mark) when the S08 is in the Multi Play
mode.
Example of Effect Settings
Here we’ll show an example of editing effect settings
in the Voice Edit mode (page 40). In this example,
we’ll change the variation effect setting of the Voice
OR: Cathedr1 (PR070) from HALL1 to GM
FLANGER (a jet-like sound).
1Select the Voice Number of the Voice you wish to
edit (Here, OR: Cathedrl=PR070), then enter
the Voice Edit mode (pages 29 and 40).
2Simultaneously press both the [–] and [+]
buttons to select the Common Edit display (page
41).
3Use the [▲] and [▼] buttons to call up the VarEF
screen (displayed in the bottom line; PAGE 14).
4Use the data dial to select “GM FLANGER,”
then play the keyboard. Try out other different
Effect Types, referring to the Effect Type List in
the separate Data List.
nYou can listen to and compare the difference
between the edited Voice with your edited settings
and the same Voice prior to editing (page 41).
nIn the effect parameter page (PAGE 15), you can
make various detailed parameter settings. For
information on the Effect Parameters, refer to the
separate Data List.
5If you wish to save your new settings, store the
settings as a single Voice before you leave the
Voice Edit mode. For details about storing Voices,
see page 50.

Effects
Effects in Voice Mode
In the Voice mode, you can set the Effect Send
parameter for the Reverb and Chorus sections, and
store them with each Voice.
For the Variation Effect, the Effect Type and the
various effect parameters can be set, as well as the
effect on/off setting for each Voice. The signals that
are processed by the Variation block are mixed and sent
to the Reverb and Chorus sections.
nDrum Voices in Voice mode have no Variation effect.
nSystem effects can be bypassed in theVoice mode
(UTILITY PAGE14)
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 Part’s 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.

Using the Memory Card
Using the Memory Card
In the Card mode, you can use a Memory Card
(commercially available SmartMedia™ cards) for saving
and loading data from/to the instrument, as well as
perform other data-exchange operations. With the
included Card Filer software, you can use a computer to
manage data on Memory Card. You can also use it to
exchange data between the computer and Memory Card.
nNever attempt to remove/insert the Memory Card in the
SEQ PLAY mode.
nOnly files from the highest directory of the Memory Card
can be accessed.
nThe Card mode cannot be entered unless a Memory Card
has been properly inserted into the Card slot.
Handling the Memory Card
(SmartMedia™*)
Be sure to handle Memory Cards with care. Follow the
important precautions below.
*SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.
■ Compatible Memory Card Type
3.3V(3V) Memory Cards can be used. 5V type Memory
Cards are not compatible with this instrument.
■ Memory Capacity
There are seven types of Memory Cards: 2MB/4MB/
8MB/16MB/32MB/64MB/128MB.
■ Inserting/Removing Memory Cards
• To insert a Memory Card:
Hold the Memory Card so that the connector section
(gold) of the Memory Card is facing downward and
forward, towards the Memory Card slot. Carefully
insert the Memory Card into the slot, slowly pushing it
all the way in until it is fitted in place.
-
Don’t insert the Memory Card in wrong direction.
-
Don’t insert anything other than a Memory Card in the slot.
• To remove a Memory Card:
Before removing the Memory Card, be sure to confirm
that the Memory Card is not in use, or it is not being
accessed by the instrument. Then pull the Memory
Card out slowly by hand. If the Memory Card is being
accessed*, a message indicating that it is in use appears
on the instrument’s display.
*This includes saving, loading, formatting and
deleting. Also, be aware that the instrument will
automatically access the Memory Card to check the
media type when it is inserted while the instrument
is turned on.
Never attempt to remove the Memory Card or turn
the power off during accessing. Doing so can
damage the data on the instrument/Memory Card
and possibly the Memory Card itself.
■ Formatting Memory Cards
Before using a Memory Card with your instrument it
must first be formatted. Once it is formatted all data on
it will be erased. Be sure to check if the data is
unnecessary or not, beforehand.
nThe Memory Cards formatted with this instrument
may become unusable with other instruments.
■ About the Memory Cards
• To handle Memory Cards with care:
There are times when static electricity affects Memory
Cards. Before you handle Memory Cards, to reduce the
possibility of static electricity, touch a metal object,
such as a door knob and aluminum sash.
Be sure to remove the Memory Card from the Memory
Card slot when it is not in use for a long time.
Do not expose the Memory Card to direct sunlight,
extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive
humidity, dust or liquids.
Do not place heavy objects on a Memory Card or bend
or apply pressure to the Memory Card in any way.
Do not touch the metal part (gold) of the Memory Card
or put any metallic plate onto the metal part.
Do not expose the Memory Card to magnetic fields,
such as those produced by televisions, speakers,
motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or
completely erase data on the Memory Card, rendering it
unreadable.
Do not attach anything other than the provided labels
to a Memory Card. Also make sure that labels are
attached in the proper location.
• To protect your data (Write-protect):
To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, stick
the write-protect seal (provided in the Memory Card
package) onto the designated area (within a circle) of
the Memory Card. To save data on the Memory Card,
make sure to remove the write-protect seal from the
Card. Do not reuse the seal that is peeled off.
■ Data Backup
For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that
you keep two copies of important data on separate
Memory Cards. This gives you a backup if one Memory
Card is lost or damaged.
■ Burglarproof Lock
This instrument is equipped with a burglarproof lock
for the Memory Card. If necessary, mount the
burglarproof lock onto the instrument.
To mount the burglarproof lock:
1Remove the metallic part using a Phillips
screwdriver.
2Turn the metallic part upside down and then mount
it again.

• Delete and rename files on Memory Card of your
MIDI instrument using your computer.
• Convert Standard MIDI Files on your computer
from Format 1 to Format 0 so that they can be
played back on the S08.
When using the Card Filer, all S08 panel operations
or playing of the keyboard is ignored. (The Voice and
Multi LEDs go out.) In this case, the message “File
Mode” appears. For details about Card Filer, refer to
the separate Installation Guide or the on-line
manual (PDF) included with the software.
nNever attempt to remove/insert the Memory Card

Touch Sensitivity
Touch Sensitivity
Six different types of keyboard sensitivity can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences.
1 Press the [CONTROLLER] button to enter the Controller mode.
2Use the [] and [] buttons to select the Fixed Vel screen (PAGE 6), then press the [DEC/NO] button to select
“off.”
nWhen you play the keyboard at the same volume, enter the value of the velocity (volume). In this case, the step below is not
necessary.
3Use the [] button to select the Vel Curve screen (PAGE 5), then press the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons to
select the desired setting (see below).
4 Press the [EXIT] button to exit from the Controller mode.
norm (Normal)
The velocity is in proportion to
playing strength (how hard you
play the keyboard).
soft1
This curve provides increased
response, especially for lower
velocities. In other words, playing
softly results in higher response
than the “norm” curve. Use this
curve if you want greater control
in the low velocity range.
soft2
This curve provides increased
response, especially for lower
velocities. In other words, playing
softly results in higher response
than the “norm” curve. Use this
curve if you want greater control
in the low velocity range; the
response is between Soft1 and
Normal.
easy
This curve is also designed to
increase the volume level with a
softer playing style. However, the
volume level is stable in all
registers since the velocity curve in
the mid range is close to Normal.
wide
This setting provides opposite
response curves for lower and
higher velocities. It widens the
apparent dynamic range of the
controller, producing less sound
change in the softer range and
more change in the higher range.
hard
This curve effectively lessens the
overall response compared to the
“norm” curve. Use this curve if
you tend to play strongly and want
the sound change to be less
sensitive.

Filter Scaling Settings
By way of example, you could set the
Levels (Offsets) and Break Points (BP1 to
BP4) as follows.
Here, the current Cutoff setting is 64. The
Offsets are -64 at BP1 (set to note E1),
+10 at BP2 (set to note B2), +17 at BP3
(set to note G4) and +60 at BP4 (set to
A5). That is, the Cutoff frequencies at each
Break Point are 0, 74, 81 and 124,
respectively. For other notes, the Cutoff
frequencies will be on the straight line
connecting the two adjacent Break Points.
The Break Point Levels are Offsets used to
increase or decrease the current Cutoff
setting at the specified notes. Regardless of
the size of these Offsets, the minimum and
maximum Cutoff limits(values of 0 and
127, respectively) cannot be exceeded.
A note set below the BP1 will become the
BP1Level. A note set above BP4 will
become the BP4 Level.
The availability of the FEG Scaling
parameter depends on the Break Point and
Offset settings in the Flt BP/Flt Ofs
PAGES.
*10
When the FltSclSns is set to 0, Filter
Scaling Settings (PAGES 15, 16, 17) will be
ignored (flat). When set to 15, the values
in the Flt Ofs settings will be added at a
rate of 100%.

Level (Amplitude) Scaling Settings
By way of example, you could set the
Levels (Offsets) and Break Points (BP1 to
4) as follows.
Here, the current amplitude is 80. The
Offsets are-4 at BP1 (set to note E1), +10
at BP2 (set to note B2), +17 at BP3 (set to
note G4) and +4 at BP4 (set to A5). That
is, the amplitudes at each Break Point are
76, 90, 97 and 84, respectively. For other
notes, the amplitudes will be on the
straight line connecting the two adjacent
Break Points.
The Break Point Levels are Offsets used to
increase or decrease the current amplitude
at the specified notes. Regardless of the
size of these Offsets, the minimum and
maximum amplitude limits (values of 0
and 127, respectively) cannot be exceeded.
The availability of the AEG Scaling
parameter depends on the Break Point and
Offset settings in the Lvl BP/Lvl Ofs
PAGES.
*12
A note set below the BP1 will become the

The LFO is used to generate low frequency
signals and can be used to create vibrato,
wah, tremolo and other effects when
applied to pitch/filter/amplitude/etc.
parameters. For example, it can be applied
simultaneously to both pitch and filter, or
to specific parameters of individual
Elements.
The following three LFO waveforms are
available.
Saw (Sawtooth Wave)
Tri (trianglular Wave)
S&H (Sample & Hold)
S&H = Adds random changes to the pitch.
Tri(Triangle) waves will be applied for the
LFO AMod and LFO FMod. Triangle wave
is applied even if you select S&H for LFO
PMod, when controlling the LFO PMod
with the Modulation Wheel.

To apply the Key Assign setting in Multi
Mode, you need to set the SAME NOTE
NUMBER KEY ASSIGN in the Multi Part
to “INST (for Drum).” This cannot be set
from the panel of S08; however it can be
set by transmitting appropriate MIDI
messages from an external Device. For
details, refer to the table 1-5 in the separate
Data List.
*18
This determines the Attack Rate (speed) of
the EG(Envelope Generator), or how long
it takes for the sound of the selected drum
sound to reach full volume when a note is
played. Depending on the sound and the
Attack Rate set, some sounds may decay
before the EG has a chance to bring the
sound up. In other words, setting this
value too low (slow attack) may result in
an unnatural sound or no sound at all.
Higher values result in a shorter Attack
Time.
This determines the Decay 1 Rate (speed)
the EG, or how rapidly the sound dies
down to the next Decay level. Higher
values result in a shorter Decay time.
This determines the Decay 2 Rate (speed)
of the EG, or how rapidly the sound dies
out completely. Higher values result in a
shorter Decay time.

About MIDI
Appendix
About MIDI
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical
instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program
Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages.
The S08 can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various types of controller data. The S08
can be controlled by the incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine tone generator mode, select MIDI
channels, voices and effects, change parameter values, and of course play the voices specified for the various Parts.
Many MIDI messages are expressed in hexadecimal or
binary numbers. Hexadecimal numbers may include
the letter “H” as a suffix. The letter “n” indicates a
certain whole number.
The chart below lists the corresponding decimal
number for each hexadecimal/binary number.
MIDI channels
MIDI performance data is assigned to one of sixteen
MIDI channels. Using these channels, 1 - 16, the
performance data for sixteen different instrument
parts can be simultaneously sent over one MIDI cable.
Think of the MIDI channels as TV channels. Each TV
station transmits its broadcasts over a specific channel.
Your home TV set receives many different programs
simultaneously from several TV stations and you select
the appropriate channel to watch the desired program.
MIDI operates on the same basic principle.
The transmitting instrument sends MIDI data on a
specific MIDI channel (MIDI Transmit Channel) via a
single MIDI cable to the receiving instrument. If the
receiving instrument’s MIDI channel (MIDI Receive
Channel) matches the Transmit Channel, the receiving
instrument will sound according to the data sent by the
transmitting instrument.
The S08 is a fully multi-timbral tone generator,
allowing you to sound several different instrument
parts simultaneously — from just the S08 — by
assigning a different MIDI channel to each part.
