As in the Voice Play mode, the Performance Play mode is where you select and play the instrument sounds of this synthesizer.
However, in the Performance mode, you can mix several different Voices together in a layer, or split them across the keyboard,
or even set up a combination layer/split. Each Performance can contain up to four different Parts.
Press the [PERFORM] button to enter the Performance Play mode.
Selecting a Performance
Selecting a Performance is done in basically the same way
as selecting a Voice. The Category Search function is
available also in the Performance Play mode. Note that the
MOTIF XF has no Preset Performances and provides only
three User Banks. Consequently, press any of the [USER 1] –
[USER 4] buttons to select a Performance after pressing the
[PROGRAM] button.
Performance Play mode
indications
The Performance Play display indicates the Voice names for
each of four parts making up the Performance at the bottom
right corner. Except for this, the display is almost same as in
the Voice Play mode.
NOTE The above display appears when the Type is set to “1” in the [F6]
Screen display of the Utility mode. You can change this
parameter setting by pressing any of the Cursor buttons while
holding the [EXIT] button. This operation lets you call up the
desired one from four display design types provided in the
MOTIF XF.
Using the Controllers and Knobs
As in the Voice Play mode, you can change the tonal
characteristics by using the controllers and knobs in the
Performance mode.
Try selecting a Performance and operating the controllers
and knobs.
How Voices are assigned to Parts
of a Performance
By default (when shipped from the factory), various types of
Performances are provided in the User Banks. For some of
these Performances, it may not be immediately obvious how
to play them or use them, since they are more complicated
than normal Voices. In this section, you’ll learn the typical
ways in which Performances are created, and thus better
understand how to play and use them.
Each Performance can contain up to four different Parts. This
section covers the typical four types of Voice assignments to
these four parts.
This method lets you play multiple (two or more) Voices
simultaneously by pressing any notes. In the Performance
mode, you can create a thicker sound by combining two
similar Voices—for example, two different Strings Voices,
each with a different attack speed.
This method lets you play different Voices with your left hand
and right hand. By assigning the Strings to the lower range
and assigning the Flute to the higher range separately as
illustrated below, you can play the Strings as
accompaniment with your left hand and play the Flute as
melody with your right hand.
This method lets you trigger different Voices depending on
your playing strength (velocity). In this example below,
playing the note with low velocities triggers Strings sounds
with a slow attack speed. Playing the note with middle
