‐ In the Master mode, the “Split Sw” setting (a Performance parameter) will now be available for the internal tone generator when playing the keyboard after setting the Mode to “performance” and setting Zone Switch to “on” in the Master Common Edit mode.

‐ The part switch setting will now be kept even if you press either the [LAYER] button, the [SPLIT] button, or the [DRUM ASSIGN] button after selecting the Performance whose part switch is set to off in the Performance mode.

‐ Improved the operational stability of the electronic components. This update may solve problems in which the instrument might not start in low-temperature environments.

‐ Fixed a problem in which the value of the High Threshold parameter of the Effect Type "Multi Band Comp" would not be set properly even if you change the Voice, Performance, Effect Type or Effect Preset.

‐ Fixed a problem in which the fade-in and fade-out of the Common LFO might not work correctly when either of the "InsA1"-"insA16" or "InsB1"-"insB16" is assigned to Dest of the Common LFO in the Voice Edit mode.

‐ The value of the Rotor/Horn Balance parameter belonging to the Effect Type "Rotary Speaker" has been corrected from "L63>H"-"L=H"-"LH"-"R=H"-"R
‐ Solved a problem in which this instrument would freeze when receiving a note on message whose velocity is same as the “High” setting while setting the Velocity Limit parameter of Voice Element Edit so that the “Low” setting is one value higher than the “High” setting; for example, when “Low” is set to 65 and “High” is set to 64.

‐ Solved a problem in which the delay tempo would not be synchronized to the Arpeggio tempo when setting the tempo delay parameter and the Arpeggio tempo parameter to the following combinations.
Tempo Delay = 4th x 6, Arpeggio Tempo = 15 or less
Tempo Delay = 4th x 5, Arpeggio Tempo = 12 or less
Tempo Delay = 4th x 4, Arpeggio Tempo = 10 or less
Tempo Delay = 2nd, Arpeggio Tempo = 7 or less
Tempo Delay = Whole/3, Arpeggio Tempo = 6 or less
Tempo Delay = 2nd, Arpeggio Tempo = 5 or less

‐ Solved a problem in which the connected computer may not recognize this instrument when it is connected to the computer via USB.

‐ Solved a problem in which the stored Voice, the Part EQ setting, or Effect parameter settings would be changed when storing the edited Voice to an Initialized Voice in Mixing Voice Edit of the Multi mode.

‐ Solved a problem in which the Sync Quantize Value setting in the Arpeggio Edit mode may not be available when playing multiple Arpeggios along with a MIDI song simultaneously in the Sequence Play mode.

‐ Solved a problem in which the sound set in a Part would be changed when receiving a Multi change message (Bx 00 3F, Bx 20 44, Cx nn) over a channel other than the basic receive channel in the Multi mode.

‐ Solved a problem in which the insertion effect switch of Part 8 would not be set to on when setting the insertion effect switch for the A/D Part to on in the Multi mode and then executing the Initialize job while setting the parameters other than “All" to on.

‐ Solved a problem in which the current Multi would not be recalled to the unedited settings, even when selecting the same Multi number as that of the Multi you had been editing and then clicking [OK] in the MULTI LIBRARY of the S90XS/S70XS Editor.

‐ Solved a problem in which the “Volume” and “Pan” settings of the Preset display in Zone Edit would not be available for the internal tone generator when changing to a program in which the Mode parameter is set to “voice” or “performance” and in which the Zone Switch parameter is set to “on” in the Master mode.

‐ Solved a problem in which channel messages received over USB MIDI port 4 or port 5 would be available for the internal tone generator.

‐ Solved a problem in which changing the parameters of the Utility Voice Master EQ display would affect the internal tone generator when entering the Utility mode from the Performance mode.

‐ Other minor problems have been corrected.
