Voices—the basic building blocks of the MO
Voices—created in the Voice mode—are the basic sonic building blocks for the other modes of the MO. The
Performance, Song, and Pattern programs are made up of different Voices, used together for specific
performance or song recording. The MO features an exceptionally wide variety of preset Voices for playing in
virtually any musical style. Try searching through the Voices to find your favorites.
Once you’ve explored them and feel comfortable with them, try branching out creatively and use the editing
features to make your own original Voices.
Combine several Voices to create a Performance
To play several different Voices together simultaneously, select a Performance. The MO features 256 specially
programmed Performances for playing in a variety of music styles.
Create a Song by recording your performance or combining some rhythm patterns
You can create your own Songs by using the built-in sequencer functions of the MO. The MO provides two
different ways for creating Songs: 1) recording a Song conventionally from beginning to end, and 2) creating
separate short sections (or “Patterns”), each several measures in length, and combining/repeating them to
construct an entire Song.
Master mode—Create a master keyboard setup or instantly call up your desired
programs
The Master mode lets you register your favorite Voices, Performances, Songs, and Patterns together into easy-to
select Master programs. No matter what mode is used—Voice, Performance, Song, or Pattern—you can have it
instantly and automatically selected when you call up the appropriate Master.
The Master mode can also be used to divide the keyboard into four sections—each with its own Voice—just as if
you were playing four different MIDI keyboards.
Convenient remote control of your computer software
The panel of the MO also serves as a convenient control surface for your computer music system. Use the
buttons and sliders to control the audio mixer and sequencer transport functions in your MIDI/audio software.
This highly intuitive approach gives you hands-on control over your virtual studio—a level of control that a
computer keyboard and mouse can’t match. These features are available for any computer sequence software
and Multi Part Editor software (page 112) compatible with the Remote Control function.
Global settings and data backup
While the Voice, Performance, Song, and Pattern modes provide controls for using and editing the programs of
the MO, the Utility mode is the place where you make overall settings for the instrument—for example, adjusting
the transpose and fine tuning controls, or switching between MIDI and USB operation. You can also archive your
important MO data to a USB storage device for safe-keeping.
