Step 3: Selecting and Playing a Performance

MOTIF XS Owner’s Manual 29

Start Guide

With this method, you can play all the parts of a band by

yourself. This type of Performance also uses different

Arpeggio types assigned to the individual Parts, making it

even easier to sound like a full band. In the example below,

the Drum pattern (by Arpeggio) will be played back

indeﬁnitely even when you release the notes, the Bass line

(by Arpeggio) will be played back by your left hand

performance, and the Guitar backing (by Arpeggio) or

Piano Arpeggio will be played back by your right hand

performance.

In addition, you can change the Arpeggio Type assignment

for each Part by pressing any of the [SF1] – [SF5] buttons.

Using or combining the four methods described above

gives you the ability to create a rich variety of

Performances.

By default, many Performances stored in the User Banks

may be created via the above methods. Try out various

Performances and see which method is used for each.

Creating a Performance by

combining Voices

After checking out the pre-programmed Performances in

the User Banks, try creating your own original

Performance. In this section, we’ll create a Performance by

combining two Voices.

Preparing to create a Performance

1In the Performance Play mode, press the [JOB]

button, and then the [F1] button.

The Initialize display is shown. Make sure that the

check box of “All Parameters” is checked. For details

about the Initialize function, refer to page 159.

Performance.

Keep in mind that when you execute the Store operation by

pressing the [STORE] button here, the Performance at the

destination will be replaced with the Initialized Performance

(Layer)

Try combining two Voices by assigning your favorite Voice

to Part2.

1In the Performance Play display, press the [F2]

button to call up the Voice display.

From this display, you can conﬁrm what Voices are

assigned to the Parts. You can also conﬁrm that all the

Parts are turned on after executing the Initialize function

above.

2Move the cursor to the Part 2, then select the

desired Voice by setting a Bank and Voice

number.

nFrom this display, you can use the Category Search

function to select a Voice. Like in the Voice mode

(page 24), use the [CATEGORY SEARCH] button. Please

note that the category names printed below the Bank

buttons correspond not to the Performance Category but

to the Voice Category.

3Move the cursor to the PART SW check box for

Parts 3 and 4, then remove the checkmark by

pressing the [DEC/NO] button.

When the check mark is removed from the check box,

the corresponding part is turned off. Here, turn the Part

1 and 2 on.

The Part 1 (Piano Voice) and Part 2 (the Voice you have

selected above) are sounded simultaneously in a layer.
