Quick Guide
Appendix
To use the MOTIF-RACK XS, you’ll need an external keyboard (with various controllers, such as a pitch bend wheel, modulation wheel,
etc.). The MOTIF-RACK XS’s tone generator block produces the sound according to the MIDI messages received from the keyboard
and computer.
External controllers supported by the MOTIF-RACK XS
The MOTIF-RACK XS can be played by connecting an external MIDI keyboard or synthesizer, and can be controlled by the MIDI
controllers on the keyboard—pitch bend wheel, modulation wheel, ribbon controller, knobs, sliders, etc. In addition, you can also
control the MOTIF-RACK XS using an optional Yamaha BC3 Breath Controller, FC4/FC5 Footswitch, FC7/FC9 Foot Controller, etc. by
connecting these controllers to the external device.
Controlling a Voice with Controller Set
You can freely assign a variety of different functions to the external controllers. For example, you could have the Modulation Wheel
control filter resonance and set aftertouch to apply vibrato. The settings for all external controllers are referred to as a “Controller Set,”
and up to six Controller Sets can be created for each Voice.
n You can assign a variety of functions to Knob 3 (ASSIGN 1) and Knob 4 (ASSIGN 2) as well as the external controllers.
n You can set whether the controller affects each Element by setting the Element Switch of the Controller Set on or off as desired. Note that this applies only to Normal
Voices. The Element Switch parameter can be set only on the MOTIF-RACK XS Editor.
n The Element Switch parameters of the Controller Set are not available when a function unrelated to the Elements is set as the destination.
