MOTIF XF Owner’s Manual

In the Voice Play display (the top display of the Voice mode),
you can select and play a single Voice. The Voices of this
instrument are divided into the following two types:
Normal Voices
Normal Voices are mainly pitched musical instrument type
sounds (piano, organ, guitar, etc.) that can be played over
the range of the keyboard.
Drum Voices
Drum Voices are mainly percussion/drum sounds that are
assigned to individual notes. These Voices are used to
perform rhythm parts.
This instrument features Banks for memorizing Voices. There
are basically three different types of Banks: Preset, User, and
GM. The contained Voices and features depend on the Bank
as described below.
Preset Banks
The Preset Banks contain a full set of specially programmed
Voices. Voices you've edited yourself cannot be saved in the
Preset Banks.
User Banks
The User Banks contain the Voices you have edited and
stored. The Voices of User Bank 1 are those of your original
creation, while the Voices of User Banks 2 – 4 are picked up
from Preset Voices by default. The Voices No. 1 – 8 of the
User Drum Bank are those of your original creation, while the
Voices No. 9 – 32 of the User Drum Bank are picked up from
Preset Voices by default.
NOTICE
If a Voice in a User Bank (User Voice) is overwritten or replaced, that
User Voice will be lost. When you store an edited Voice, be careful not
to overwrite any important User Voices.
GM Bank
The GM Bank contains the Voices allocated according to the
GM standard.
In the Voice mode, a total of 16 Banks (Preset Bank 1 – 8,
User Bank 1 – 4, GM Bank, Preset Drum Bank, User Drum,
GM Drum Bank) are available. Each of these Banks includes
the Voices according to the Voice type. In the Voice Play
display, you can select the desired Voice from various Voice
Banks and play it.
NOTE For details about the Voice, refer to “Basic Structure.” For a list of
the Preset Voices, refer to the separate Data List PDF file.

Playing the Keyboard in the Voice mode
GM Voice
GM (General MIDI) is a worldwide standard for Voice
organization and MIDI functions of synthesizers and tone
generators. It was designed primarily to ensure that any
song data created with a specific GM device would sound
virtually the same on any other GM device—no matter the
manufacturer or the model. The GM Voice bank on this
synthesizer is designed to appropriately play back GM
song data. However, keep in mind that the sound may not
be exactly the same as played by the original tone
generator.
