Yamaha S70XS New Standard in Performance Keyboards

HANDS-ON

1. Performance Creator lets you roll your own splits, layers, and drum performance setups with minimum button pushing.

2. Dedicated octave-shift and transpose buttons are placed so you could hit them with a free finger of a hand that’s playing a chord.

3. These backlit buttons select parts of splits and layers, and turn them on or off.

4. Just below, these buttons activate and latch the arpeggiator for each of the four independent parts.

5. These toggle buttons select which four parameters the knobs control (filter/envelope, EQ, etc.), so you’re never more than one click away from the function you want.

6. Faders have four pages of functions: volume and panning for parts, and sends for the master chorus and reverb.

7. There’s enough real estate here to park a small laptop or a tabletop synth module.

8. DAW Remote button turns the S70XS into a control surface for DP, Logic, or Sonar — or the included Cubase AI software, for which the integration goes especially deep.
PROS
Great sounds including stellar new S6 piano. Super-easy to create splits and layers on the fly. Expanded control surface functionality for DAWs.

CONS
Nearly as wide as some 88-note keyboards. Small display. Deep sound editing requires computer software.
