MOTIF XS Owner’s Manual
268
2Keyboard Transmit Ch
Determines the MIDI channel over which the instrument
sends MIDI data (to an external sequencer, tone generator,
or other device). This parameter is available in the single-
timbre tone generator mode (Voice/Performance modes).
Settings: 1 – 16, off
nIn the Song/Pattern mode, the MIDI data created by playing
the keyboard/knobs/wheels is sent to the tone generator block
or the external MIDI devices via the MIDI output channel of the
currently selected track. The Output Channels of each track
can be set in the Output Channel display (page 184) of the
Song Play mode.
3Device Number
Determines the device number used by this synthesizer in
receiving or transmitting data. This number must match the
Device Number of the external MIDI device when
transmitting/receiving bulk data, parameter changes or
other system exclusive messages.
Settings: 1 – 16, all, off
all
When this is selected, system exclusive messages for all MIDI device
numbers are received. When system exclusive messages such as bulk
dump are transmitted from the MOTIF XS with this setting, the MOTIF
XS is recognized as Device Number 1.
off
When this is selected, system exclusive messages such as bulk dump
and parameter change cannot be transmitted or received. When you
try execute transmission or reception of system exclusive messages,
an error message appears.
4MIDI In/Out
Determines which physical output/input terminal(s) will be
used for transmitting/receiving MIDI data.
Settings: MIDI, USB, mLAN (when the optional mLAN16E2 has been
installed to the MOTIF XS6/7)
nThe three terminal types above cannot be used at the same
time. Only one of them can be used to transmit/receive MIDI
data.
5MIDI Sync
Determines whether Song/Pattern/Arpeggio playback will
be synchronized to the instrument’s internal clock or an
external MIDI clock.
Settings: Internal, MIDI, auto, MTC
internal
Synchronization to internal clock. Use this setting when this synthesizer
is to be used alone or as the master clock source for other equipment.
MIDI
MIDI Synchronization to a MIDI clock received from an external MIDI
instrument via MIDI.
auto
When MIDI clock is transmitted continuously from an external MIDI
device or computer, the internal clock of the MOTIF XS is not effective
and the MOTIF XS is synchronized with the external clock. When MIDI
clock is not transmitted from the external MIDI device or computer, the
internal clock of the MOTIF XS continues to run in sync with the latest
received tempo of the external MIDI device or computer (DAW
software). Note that the tempo cannot be changed on the MOTIF XS
when this value is selected. This setting is useful when you wish to
alternate between external clock and internal clock.
MTC (MIDI Time Code)
Synchronization to an MTC signal received via MIDI. MMC signals are
transmitted via MIDI. Use this setting when this synthesizer is to be
used as a MIDI slave, such as when synchronized to an MTC-capable
MTR. The MTC Sync function is available only in the Song mode.
nWhen this parameter is set to “MIDI,” make sure that the
external MIDI instrument connected to the MOTIF XS will
transmit the MIDI clock to the MOTIF XS.
nWhen MIDI Sync is set to “MTC,” Songs and Arpeggios cannot
play back in the Song mode but Patterns and Arpeggios can
play back in the Pattern mode.
nMTC (MIDI Time Code) allows simultaneous synchronization of
multiple audio devices via standard MIDI cables. It includes
data corresponding to hours, minutes, seconds, and frames.
The MOTIF XS does not transmit MTC.
n
MMC (MIDI Machine Control) allows remote control of
multitrack recorders, MIDI sequencers, etc. An MMC-
compatible multitrack recorder, for example, will automatically
respond to start, stop, fast forward, and fast reverse operations
performed on the controlling sequencer, thus keeping
playback of the sequencer and multitrack recorder aligned.
6Clock Out
Determines whether MIDI clock (F8H) messages will be
transmitted via MIDI.
Settings: on, off
7Sequencer Control
Determines whether Sequencer Control signals—start
(FAH), continue (FBH), stop (FCH), and song position
pointer (F2H)—will be received and/or transmitted via the
MIDI OUT/USB terminal.
Settings: off, in, out, in/out
off
Not transmitted/recognized.
in
Recognized but not transmitted.
out
Transmitted but not recognized.
in/out
Transmitted/recognized.
8MTC Start Offset (MIDI Time Code Start Offset)
Determines the specific time code point from which
sequence playback starts, when MTC is received. This
feature can be used to accurately align playback of this
synthesizer with an external MTC-compatible device.
Settings: Hour: Minute: Second: Frame
Hour: 00 – 23
Minute: 00 – 59
Second: 00 – 59
Frame: 00 – 29
9Bank Select
This switch enables or disables Bank Select messages,
both in transmission and reception. When this is set to “on,”
this synthesizer responds to incoming Bank Select
messages, and it also transmits appropriate Bank Select
messages (when using the panel). When this is set to “off,”
Bank Select messages cannot be transmitted/received.
Settings: off, on
)Program Change
This switch enables or disables Program Change
messages, both in transmission and reception. When this
is set to “on,” this synthesizer responds to incoming
Program Change messages, and it also transmits
appropriate Program Change messages (when using the
