MOTIF XF Owner’s Manual

Welcome
A message from the MOTIF XF Development Team
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MOTIF XF Music Synthesizer.
Since the first MOTIF was launched in 2001, the MOTIF series has evolved with the times and has finally reached fourth-
generation status.
The new MOTIF XF adds a number of significant enhancements to its predecessors and features many powerful functions that
make it an indispensable tool in both music production and live performance.
Second, the User Interface via the color LCD display introduced from the MOTIF XS has been drastically improved so that it is
easy to view the important information like Voice program number even another keyboard is located above the MOTIF XF at the
live scene.
In terms of the sound, the MOTIF XF provides a wide variety of Voices that fully take advantage of the Expanded Articulation
feature, which enables expressive tonal change (via Velocity and the Assignable Function buttons). Many Voices have been
added and enhanced to improve the MOTIF’s famed set of ultra-realistic acoustic instrument sounds. We’ve also strengthened
the synthesizer sound engine, giving it a wealth of powerful and dynamic synth waveforms and effect-related Voices. They
allowing you to truly play and perform with the synth sounds, tweaking the filters and controllers for extraordinary
expressiveness—far beyond even what you’ve come to expect from a digital keyboard.
Secondly, the user interface and the color LCD display introduced with the MOTIF XS has been improved dramatically, making
it even easier to view important information, such as the Voice program name and number—even when another keyboard is
placed above the MOTIF XF onstage.
Furthermore, in one of the most important advantages of the MOTIF XF, an optional Flash Memory Expansion Board can be
installed. This feature was included in response to many and repeated requests from power users. Now, Sample (audio) data
remains on the board, even when the power is turned off—allowing you to instantly use Waveforms containing Samples you’ve
recorded when you turn the power back on, without the need to load them from an external USB storage device.
We are confident these new features, in addition to the already strong set of functions of the MOTIF series, will aid in all your
musical endeavors—from writing and recording to live performance.
In order to take full advantage of the MOTIF XF’s functionality, please read this manual carefully. We also recommend that you
keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference.
We really hope that the MOTIF XF will help your creativity and musical work grow by leaps and bounds.
Enjoy!
Sincerely,
The Yamaha MOTIF XF Development Team
