Appendix

On the MOTIF-RACK XS, press the [STORE] button

to store the current Multi after the desired settings

are completed.

For information on storing, see page 46.

Next, try recording Arpeggio playback data to a track of the

DAW software.

In the Arp Edit display of the Part Edit, set the “Arp

MIDI Out Sw” parameter of the Part (of which the

“Arp Sw” parameter is set to “on”) to “on,” then set

the “Arp Transmit Ch” to the desired channel in the

same display.

After this operation, Arpeggio playback data (MIDI data)

will be transmitted to the external device (computer) over

the speciﬁed MIDI channel.

10.

On the DAW software, select an empty track, then

set the MIDI output port to off.

11.

On the DAW software, play the note data prepared in

step 1 to trigger the Arpeggio playback of the

MOTIF-RACK XS, then press the record button to

record the Arpeggio MIDI data to the track selected

in step 9.

12.

After recording is completed, set the MIDI Transmit

Channel of the recorded track to that same as the

Parts (of which the “Arp Sw” parameter is set to on)

of the MOTIF-RACK XS.

13.

Set the “Arp Sw” parameters of all Parts to “off” on

the MOTIF-RACK XS, then play the recorded note

data on the DAW software.

The recorded note data on the DAW software will be

transmitted to the MOTIF-RACK XS and play the sound of

the MOTIF-RACK XS without the Arpeggio function.

Arpeggio playback with the Voices for Parts 1 – 4

simultaneously sounded.

Try playing the Multi of the Factory settings with “Layer 1 – 4

Parts” (page 98) set to “on” in the Utility General window. When

“Layer 1 – 4 Parts” is set to on, the MIDI Receive Channel for the

Parts 1 – 4 of the current Multi will be set to the same value as

speciﬁed in the “Receive Ch (Basic Receive Channel)”

parameter (page 102) in the Utility Voice MIDI window. In this

setting, you can hear the multiple Arpeggio playbacks (up to four

types) simultaneously by receiving the note data from the

external MIDI sequencer or computer (DAW software).

n Note that the MIDI Transmit Channel of the keyboard or DAW software

should be set to the same value as the “Receive Ch” in the Utility Voice

MIDI window of the MOTIF-RACK XS.

n For details about how to use with “Layer 1 – 4 Parts” set to on, see

page 40.

Arpeggio tempo

In order to synchronize the Arpeggio tempo to other devices, you

can determine which clock will be used, the internal clock (of the

MOTIF-RACK XS) or the external clock (from the separate MIDI

device or DAW software/computer), by setting the MIDI Sync

parameter (page 99) in the Utility MIDI window.

When you set this parameter so that the internal clock is used,

you can determine the Arpeggio tempo by setting the “Arp

Tempo” parameter (page 66) in the Arp Edit display of the Voice

mode or the “Arp Tempo” parameter (page 91) in the Arp Edit

display of the Multi mode.

When you set this parameter so that the external clock is used,

you need to set related parameters so that the external MIDI

device or computer can transmit the MIDI clocks. The

instructions below explain how to set these in Cubase.

1. Select “Sync Setup” from the “Transport” menu in Cubase

to call up the Synchronization Setup dialog.

2. Enter checkmarks to the USB or mLAN Port1 of the

MOTIF-RACK XS and “MIDI Clock Follows Project

Position” of the “MIDI Clock Destination” at the lower right

of the dialog.

When connecting via a USB cable, enter the checkmark to

“Yamaha MOTIF-R XS-1” or “MOTIF-R XS Port1.” When

connecting via an IEEE1394 cable, enter the checkmark to “mLAN

MIDI Out” or “MOTIF-RACK XS.”

3. Click [OK] to close the “Synchronization Setup” dialog.

n MIDI clock is transmitted from Cubase (on the computer) only

when recording or playback is performed on Cubase.

n For information about DAW software other than Cubase and how to

transmit clock data from the MIDI device, refer to the owner’s

manual of your particular DAW software/MIDI device.
