MOTIF XF Owner’s Manual

Main Features
New, enhanced Voice set covering a wide range of music styles
The MOTIF XF is loaded with 741 MB of preset Wave memory—more than double the size of the previous MOTIF XS—and has
136 additional Voices. These new Voices include Synthesizer, Brass, Saxophone, Strings, Guitar, Bass and Drum Kit as well as
Piano, Clavi, and Combo Organ.
XA (Expanded Articulation) feature
Expanded Articulation (XA) is a newly designed, sophisticated tone generation system that allows you to more effectively
recreate realistic sound and natural performance techniques—such as legato and staccato—often used on acoustic
instruments but up to now unavailable or difficult to realize on electronic keyboards. This feature enables:
Realistic legato performance
Authentic note release sound
Special “key off” sounds, by setting the XA control parameter for desired Elements
Switching among different sounds to recreate the natural performance on an acoustic instrument
Potential for completely new sounds and new styles of playing
Extensive Effect Processing
The MOTIF XF gives you a wide array of signal processing options, including separate Reverb and Chorus, an overall Master
Effect, including multi-band compression, five-band master EQ, and a total of eight independent Insertion Effects. The latter
include a huge variety of effects, plus a special Vocoder feature.
Improved User Interface
Unlike the MOTIF series, this new MOTIF XF provides several design types of the LCD display for each mode. From these types,
you can select the desired one according to the use scene including the music creation and live performance.
Expanded, enhanced Arpeggio function, including Ending types
The MOTIF XF has added 1,248 new Arpeggio types, for a total of 7,881 Arpeggio types—including Ending types, as well as
synthesizer and vintage sequencer style Arpeggios and Drum/Percussion loop Arpeggios.
Built-in SDRAM for Sampling
Unlike its predecessors, the MOTIF XF features 128 MB of SDRAM built in, letting you perform audio sampling, without the need
for installing an optional DIMM.
Optional Flash Memory Expansion Module
The MOTIF XF also newly provides the option of installing a Flash Memory Expansion Module (FL512M/FL1024M), allowing you
to internally store Waveforms that include your sampled audio sounds, and keep those Waveforms/sounds intact, even when
turning off the power.
Responsive, expressive keyboard
The MOTIF XF6 features a 61-key keyboard, while the MOTIF XF7 has 76 keys with the high-quality FSX keyboard and the
MOTIF XF8 has 88 keys with the high-quality BH (Balanced Hammer) keyboard. All are equipped with a touch response feature
(both initial touch and aftertouch). These allow you to expressively change the sound in various ways — initial touch by the
strength with which you play the keys, and aftertouch by how strongly you press the keys when holding them down.
Audio Record/Playback
You can now record your performances on the MOTIF XF as WAV-format audio files (44.1-kHz, 16-bit, stereo) on a USB storage
device or a computer connected via a network. What’s more, the MOTIF XF can now also play WAV or AIFF audio files stored on
a connected USB storage device or computer.
Integration with Cubase
The MOTIF XF is specially designed to work seamlessly with Cubase, Steinberg’s full-featured DAW software (included in the
accessory disk) — giving you a comprehensive, all-in-one music production system, in which hardware and software are fully
integrated.
