The MOTIF XS6 features a 61-key keyboard, while the
MOTIF XS7 has 76 keys and the MOTIF XS8 has 88 keys.
All are equipped with a touch response feature (both initial
touch and aftertouch). With initial touch, the instrument
senses how strongly or softly you play the keys, and uses
that playing strength to affect the sound in various ways,
depending on the selected Voice. With aftertouch, the
instrument senses how much pressure you apply to the
keys while playing, and uses that pressure to affect the
sound in various ways, depending on the selected Voice.
Moreover, any of a variety of functions can be assigned to
aftertouch for each Voice (page 104).

26, 64, 89, 136, 181 and 252)

the current Voice in the Voice mode while a function of
each knob is applied only to the currently selected Part (or

Song/Pattern mode.
nNote that the functions assigned to the Knobs printed
