MOTIF-RACK XS Owner’s Manual

When the lowest lamp is turned on by pressing the [SELECT]

button a few times, you can control Arpeggio playback tempo

by turning the right end knob as illustrated below. Try this out

and listen for the changes in the tempo.

n When you wish to control Arpeggio playback tempo by turning the knobs

on the MOTIF-RACK XS, make sure to set “MIDI Sync” of the Utility MIDI

window to “Internal.”

Accent Phrases are composed of sequence data included in

some Arpeggio types, sounding only when you play notes (on

an external MIDI keyboard) at a velocity higher (stronger) than

that speciﬁed in the Accent Velocity Threshold parameter. If it is

hard to play at velocities necessary to trigger the Accent Phrase,

set the Accent Velocity Threshold parameter to a lower value.

n The Accent Velocity Threshold parameter can be set in the Arp Edit display

(pages 66 and 96) of Voice Common Edit and Multi Part Edit.

n For information on Arpeggio types that use this function, refer to the

Arpeggio Type List in the Arpeggio Type List (PDF) documentation,

available from the online Yamaha Manual Library.

Some Arpeggio types feature a Random SFX function which will

trigger special sounds (such as guitar fret noises) when the note

is released. The following parameters affecting Random SFX are

provided.

n The Random SFX, SFX Vel Offset and SFX Key on Ctrl parameters can be

set in the Arp Edit display (pages 66 and 96) of Voice Common Edit and

Multi Part Edit.

Arpeggio playback types

The Arpeggio playback features three main playback types as

described below.

Arpeggio types (belonging to the categories except for the

DrPC and Cntr) created for use of Normal Voices have the

following three playback types.

Playback only of the played notes

The Arpeggio is played back using only the played note and its

octave notes.

Playback of a programmed sequence according to

the played notes

These Arpeggio types have the several sequences each of

which is suited for a certain chord type. Even if you press only

one note, the Arpeggio is played back using the programmed

sequence—meaning that notes other than the ones you play

may be sounded. Pressing another note triggers the transposed

sequence regarding the pressed note as a root note. Adding

notes to those already held changes the sequence accordingly.

An Arpeggio with such a playback type has “_ES” at the end of

the type name.

Playback of a programmed sequence according to

the played chord type

These Arpeggio types created for use with Normal Voices are

played back to match the chord type determined by detecting

the notes you play on the keyboard. An Arpeggio with such a

playback type has “_XS” at the end of the type name.

n When the Key Mode parameter is set to “sort” or “sort+direct,” the same

sequence is played back no matter what order you play the notes. When

the Key Mode parameter is set to “thru” or “thru+direct,” a different

sequence is played back depending on the order you play the notes.

n Since these types are programmed for Normal Voices, using them with

Drum Voices may not give musically appropriate results.

These arpeggio types are programmed speciﬁcally for use with

Drum Voices, giving you instant access to various rhythm

patterns. Three different playback types are available.

Playback of a drum pattern

Pressing any note(s) will trigger the same rhythm pattern.

Playback of a drum pattern, plus additional played

notes (assigned drum instruments)

Pressing any note will trigger the same rhythm pattern. Adding

notes to the one already held produces additional sounds

(assigned drum instruments) for the drum pattern.
