CAUTION

Editing the Elements/ Drum Keys on the MOTIF-RACK XS

Editor

If you want to do detailed editing of the Elements/ Drum Keys of

the MOTIF-RACK XS, you can do that on the MOTIF-RACK XS

Editor. Included in the Element/ Drum Key settings are Oscillator,

Pitch, Filter, Amplitude, and EG (Envelope Generator), and other

parameters. For a complete list of the parameters, refer to

Element Edit (page 73) and Key Edit (page 84) in the Reference

section.

When both the MOTIF-RACK XS data and the MOTIF-RACK XS

Editor are synchronized, the settings in the MOTIF-RACK XS

Editor will be reﬂected to the same as in the MOTIF-RACK XS.

For details about how to connect the MOTIF-RACK XS to the

MOTIF-RACK XS Editor, refer to the section “Using the MOTIF-

RACK XS Editor” (page 23).

Assigning drum/percussion instruments to

individual keys

In the Drum Key Edit mode on the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor, you

can create your own original drum kits by assigning speciﬁc

instrument sounds to individual keys (in any desired order) and

edit detailed parameters for each key's sound. For detailed

instructions, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the MOTIF-RACK XS

Editor via the Help menu in the program.

Setting the drum key for independent open

and closed hi-hat sounds

In a real drum kit, some drum sounds cannot physically be

played simultaneously, such as open and closed hi-hats. You can

prevent different drum instruments from playing back

simultaneously by assigning them to the same Alternate Group

(page 84).

The preset Drum Voices have many such Alternate Group

assignments to ensure the most authentic, natural sound. When

creating a Voice from scratch, you can use this feature on the

MOTIF-RACK XS Editor—either to ensure authentic sound, or to

create special effects, where playing one sound cancels out a

previous one. For detailed instructions, refer to the Owner’s

Manual of the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor via the Help menu in the

program.

Determining how the Drum Voice responds

when the key is released

You can determine whether or not the selected Drum key

responds to MIDI Note Off messages in the Drum Key Edit on the

MOTIF-RACK XS Editor. Setting the “Receive Note Off”

parameter (page 84) to “off” can be useful for cymbal sounds

and other sustaining sounds. This lets you have the selected

sounds sustain to the length of their natural decay even if you

release the note, or when a Note Off message is received. If this

parameter is set to “on,” the sound will stop immediately when a

Note Off message is received.

Setting the Output destination for each key

You can change the output destination for the individual Drum

key signal in the Drum Key Edit on the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor.

This function is useful when you wish to apply a connected

external effect to a speciﬁc drum instrument. For details, see the

section “Output Select” (page 85) in Key Edit of the Reference

section.

n The “Output Select” parameter is available only when the “Ins Effect

Output (Insertion Effect Output)” parameter is set to “thru” in the OSC

(Oscillator) section on the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor.
