PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If
it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have
it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet con-
ditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any
openings.
If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a
sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells
or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power
switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Use the specified adaptor (PA-5C or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha)
only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or over-
heating.
Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the out-
let. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may
have accumulated on it.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the
instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radi-
ators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy
objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over,
or roll anything over it.
When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord.
Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-con-
nector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause over-
heating in the outlet.
Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during elec-
trical storms.
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the
power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all compo-
nents, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of
all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume con-
trols while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold
or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to
prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal com-
ponents.
Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions,
radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect prop-
er operation of the other products.
Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might acciden-
tally fall over.
Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do
not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might
discolor the panel or keyboard.
Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do
not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or
rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to
the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncom-
fortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
REPLACING THE BACKUP BATTERY
This instrument contains a non rechargeable internal backup battery which
permits internal data to remain stored even when the power is off. When the
backup battery needs replacing, the message "Change internal battery" will
display in the LCD. When this happens, immediately back up your data, then
have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery.
Do not attempt to replace the backup battery yourself, in order to prevent the
possible serious hazards. Always have qualified Yamaha service personnel
replace the backup battery.
Never place the backup battery in a location that a child can reach, since a
child might accidentally swallow the battery. If this should happen, consult a
physician immediately.
SAVING USER DATA
Always save data to a Memory Card (SmartMedia) frequently, in order to help
prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating
error.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use
or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha S30 Music Synthesizer.
Your new S30 synthesizer incorporates the highly-acclaimed AWM2 synthesis engine, allowing the
creation of super-realistic sounds. It supports optional Plug-in Boards that provide other synthesis
engines of your choice, enabling the production of cutting edge synthesizer sounds.
You can play all these sounds using the synthesizer’s automatic playback facilities such as the built-in
Arpeggiator and Sequencer. The Quick Access feature lets you access various genres of sounds
quickly and directly via the front panel.
Other features include Effects and Control Sets (for controlling various sound parameters in real time
using different controllers.) These features make this synthesizer ideal for every kind of live
performance or studio work.
When editing a sound, you can use the [PAGE] knob to switch between screens and five other knobs
plus the [DATA] knob for changing parameter values. This makes the process of editing sounds much
easier and smoother. To make the most use of your synthesizer, you are encouraged to read through
this manual. After reading the manual, please keep it in a convenient and safe place for future
reference.

Before Use
This section explains how to connect to an AC power source, audio and MIDI devices, and a computer
system. Only switch the synthesizer on after you have made all the necessary connections.
It is recommended that you read this section before using the synthesizer.
Power Supply
1Make sure that the instrument’s STANDBY/ON switch is at the STANDBY(off) position.
2Connect the PA-5C’s DC plug to the S30’s DC IN terminal on the instrument’s rear panel.
3Connect the adaptor’s AC plug to the nearest electrical outlet.
Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the Yamaha PA-5C or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha.
The use of an incompatible adaptor may cause irreparable damage to the S30, and may even pose a serious shock
hazard! ALWAYS UNPLUG THE AC ADAPTOR FROM THE AC POWER OUTLET WHEN THE S30 IS NOT
IN USE.
Connections
Connecting to External Audio Equipment
Since the synthesizer has no built-in speakers, you need to monitor its sound output via external
audio equipment. Alternatively, you could use a pair of headphones.
There are several methods of connecting to external audio equipment, as described in the following
illustrations.
Connecting Stereo Powered Speakers
A pair of powered speakers can accurately produce the instrument’s rich sounds with their own pan
and effect settings. Connect your powered speakers to the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks on the
rear panel.
When using just one powered speaker, connect it to the OUTPUT L/MONO jack on the rear panel.

Controlling Another MIDI Device via MIDI THRU
With the above MIDI connections, you can send MIDI data from the MIDI OUT connector while
MIDI data from the external sequencer can be sent to an external MIDI synthesizer via the MIDI
THRU jack.
The MIDI cable should be no greater than 15 meters in length, and there should be no more than three devices in
a MIDI chain (chained in series via each unit’s MIDI THRU). To connect more units, use a MIDI Thru Box for
parallel connections. You may encounter errors if the MIDI cables are too long or if too many devices are chained
together via their MIDI THRU connectors.
Connecting to a Personal Computer
When a computer is connected, it can be used to control the synthesizer and to transfer synthesizer
data to/from computer via MIDI. With the included Voice Editor program, for instance, you can edit
the synthesizer’s Voices. Using another program – Card Filer – you can transfer files between the
computer and the Memory Card inserted in the synthesizer’s CARD slot.
There are two ways to connect your synthesizer to a computer:
1: Serial connection (the computer’s serial port to the synthesizer’s TO HOST terminal)
2: MIDI connection (the computer’s MIDI interface or external MIDI interface to the
synthesizer’s MIDI IN and OUT)
Different computers require different connections, as follows.

make sure that all volume settings are turned down all the way to zero. Then turn on the every device
in your setup in the order of MIDI masters (senders), MIDI slaves (receivers), then audio equipment
(mixers, amplifiers, speakers, etc.). This ensures the smooth flow of signals from the first device to the
last (first MIDI, then audio).
When powering down the setup, first turn down the volume for each audio devices, then switch off
each device in the reverse order (first audio devices, then MIDI).

Switching the S30 On
In order to avoid possible damage to the speakers or other connected electronic equipment, always switch on the
power of the S30 before switching on the power of the amplified speakers or mixer and amplifier. Likewise,
always switch off the power of the S30 after switching off the power of the amplified speakers or mixer and
amplifier.
Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at a minimum
level. When not using the S30 for an extended period of time, be sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the
wall AC outlet.
Before you switch your synthesizer on or off, first turn down the volume of any audio equipment connected to it.

Section
If you have a Memory Card inserted in the instrument’s CARD slot or an optional Plug-in Board
installed, you may see other screens before the Voice or Performance Play Mode screen is displayed.
If a previously used Memory Card is inserted in the CARD slot, you will see a screen while files in
EXT Memory are being loaded.
If a new Memory Card (one never used on the instrument) is inserted in the CARD slot, you will see
a screen while a basic file is being created in EXT Memory.
If you have a Plug-in Board installed, you will see a screen that confirms the presence of the Plug-in
Board.
The final screen after the power-on sequence may change depending on the Power On Mode setting available
Utility Mode (Page 128).
4Turn up the amplifier’s volume as necessary.
5Adjust the synthesizer’s [VOLUME] slider to set an appropriate volume level.
About Memory Cards
You can save various kinds of data - Voice, Performance, Plug-in, Sequence Chain and so on - onto
Memory Card. The built-in CARD slot can accept 3.3-volt Memory Cards (SmartMedia).
Before using a Memory Card, read through precautions on how to handle it (Page 135).
• Formatting a Memory Card
You cannot use a new Memory Card to save files immediately. The card must be formatted in Card
Mode (Page 140) beforehand.
• Saving and Loading Data
You can save various kinds of data as files on a formatted Memory Card. Each file on the card can be
loaded when required.
You can save and load data such as System, Voice, Performance, Plug-in, Sequence Chain or the like.
Since Sequence Chain data is held temporarily in the synthesizer’s buffer memory and will be lost
once you switch it off, you need to save such data onto the Memory Card first.
Details about formatting a Memory Card, saving and loading data, and the recognized file types are
given on Page 136.

Types of Parameters (Absolute and Relative)
There are many ways to set parameters. Some
parameters require you to directly enter
numerical settings or alphabetic characters.
With others, you can choose from a number of
available settings. Furthermore, some types of
parameters are “absolute” whereas others are
“relative.”
For example, the absolute parameter in the
following illustration can be set to either
“Mono” or “Poly.” For other absolute
parameters such as Volume, the setting can be
any value between zero and 127. The Volume
setting has a linear, on-to-one relationship
with the actual volume, as shown in the graph
on the left.
However, relative parameters do not follow the
same relationship. The graph on the bottom
shows the role of the Velocity Offset
parameter. The value you have set here,
known as an “offset,” is added to, or
subtracted from, the actual value. With
Velocity Offset, the specified offset value is
added to, or subtracted from, the actual
velocity of the notes you play on the keyboard.
Sometimes, these types of relative parameters
are set as a percentage.
