Creating a Song on the MOTIF ES
102 Owner’s Manual
Quick Guide — Advanced Course
Creating a Song on the MOTIF ES
The MOTIF ES is a full-featured and enormously powerful music production machine, and all of the instrument’s advanced
features and functions come together seamlessly in the creation of a Song. Here, you’ll learn how to get the most out of the
sequencer-related functions of the MOTIF ES, using primarily the Song and Pattern modes.
This section is quite detailed and comprehensive. However, rather than following it step-by-step all the way through and trying to
use every feature in a single song, use it instead as a guide or a springboard for further exploration.
Recording your keyboard performance
Generally, you’ll start recording a Song or Pattern by playing a Voice from the keyboard. Since the instrument is set to multi-
timbral operation (page 162), the Voice you actually play and record depends on the Voice settings for the Song or Pattern,
made in the Mixing settings described below.
Selecting a Voice
Selecting a Voice for recording is different than selecting a
Voice for playing. Voice settings for the Song/Pattern mode
are handled in Song Mixing/Pattern Mixing.
See page 56 for instructions on how to select a Song or
Pattern.
For information on how to select a Song track or Pattern track,
see page 58.
Move the cursor to “Bank” and select the desired Voice
Bank by using the data dial, [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO]
buttons.
Move the cursor to “Number” and select the desired Voice
Number by using the data dial, [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO]
button. Refer to the separate Data List.
nWith the [TRACK SELECT] lamp turned off, Normal Voices can be
selected in the way described on page 60.
nWith the exception of Sample Voices and Mixing Voices, you can also
use the Category Search (page 62) in this display.
n
The Voice for each Part of the current Song or Pattern can be selected
also in the [SONG] Song selection [MIXING] [F2] VOICE display
or the [PATTERN] Pattern selection [MIXING] [F2] VOICE
display. You can also use the Category Search (page 62) in this display.

For information on how to select a voice of a Plug-in Board in the Song
mode/Pattern mode, see page 121.

Song number/Pattern number to be created.

then select a Part (track) and call up the Voice
setting display ([F1] VOICE
[SF1] VOICE).
