Quick Guide — Playing the MOTIF ES

Using Controllers

Pitch Bend Wheel

This is basically the same as in the Voice Play mode (page

64).

nThe Pitch Bend Range setting depends on the setting (made in the

Voice mode) of the Voice assigned to each Part.

nThe functions assigned to the Pitch Bend Wheel depend on the setting

(made in the Voice mode) of the Voice assigned to each Part.

nEven if a different function is assigned to the wheel, Pitch bend is still

available and Pitch Bend messages are still generated when the

wheel is used.

Modulation Wheel

This is basically the same as in the Voice Play mode (page

64).

nTo avoid accidentally applying effects to the current Voice, make sure

the Modulation Wheel is set to minimum before you start playing.

nThe functions assigned to the Modulation Wheel depend on the

settings (made in the Voice mode) of the Voice assigned to each Part.

nUsing the Modulation wheel generates the same MIDI message to

external devices, regardless of the assignments made in the Voice

Edit mode.

Ribbon Controller

This is basically the same as in the Voice Play mode (page

65).

nThe functions assigned to the Ribbon Controller depend on the

settings (made in the Voice mode) of the Voice assigned to each Part.

nYou can set the Ribbon Controller to control a different functions on

connected external MIDI devices from the functions assigned for the

Performance on the instrument itself. You can also determine whether

the Ribbon Controller value returns to the center for each

Performance, or stays at the point where you released your ﬁnger.

Both of these setting can be made in the Performance Edit mode

([PERFORM] → Performance selection → [EDIT] → COMMON → [F4]

CTL ASN).

Knobs (KN)

These knobs let you change various aspects of the

Performance sound in real time – while you play. Turn a knob

to the right to increase the value, and left to decrease it. For

each Performance, various functions are assigned to four

knobs. Try out these knobs with various Performances while

playing the keyboard.

You can change which particular group of functions or

parameters the knobs are assigned to by pressing any of the

[KNOB CONTROL FUNCTION] buttons. For details, see page

90.

nIn certain situations, using the knobs may not result in any change in

the sound. For more information, refer to page 50 in the Basic

Operation section.

Edit Indicator

Tweaking the knobs in the Performance mode directly

changes the parameters of the Performance. When any

of the Performance parameters are changed, the [E]

(Edit) Indicator appears in the top left of the display. This

indicates that the current Performance has been

modiﬁed but not yet stored.

If you’re satisﬁed with the tweaks you made and the

resulting sound, you can store the changes as a User

Performance in the Performance Store mode (page 91).

If you select another Performance during editing, the [E] (Edit)

indicator will disappear and all your edits will be lost. It is a good

idea to store the edited Performance data from the Performance

Store mode (page 91). Even if you lose the edited Performance data,

you can restore it by using the Edit Recall function (page 91).

When shipped from the factory, this synthesizer contains a full set

of specially programmed 128 User Performances in the User bank.

You can edit and store these Performances and overwrite them in

the Performance Store mode. You can also restore them to the

original factory presets by pressing the [ENTER] button in the

[UTILITY] →→

→→ [JOB] display (page 44).

Control Sliders

In the Performance mode, the four Control Sliders let

you independently adjust the levels of the Parts of a

Performance. You can adjust the volume balance

among four parts.

nInadvertent use of the sliders may result in no sound. If this

occurs, move the sliders upward.

nIn certain situations, using the Control Sliders may not result in

any change in the sound. For more information, refer to page

50 in the Basic Operation section.
