Quick Start Guide
Using the Category Search function
Reference (page 126)
The MOTIF features a powerful Category Search function that gives you quick access to the sounds you want,
irrespective of their bank locations. Simply select a voice category, such as A. PIANO or SYN LEAD, and you can
browse through all related voices one by one — and audition each of them, too. Plus, you can use the special
Favorites category to store the voices you use most.

Favorite Category
Use this convenient function to store all your favorite, often-used voices in a single, easy-to-access location — and call
them up by pressing the [FAVORITIES] button. Select any voice you want, from any desired category, and enter each
to the Favorites Category. In this way, you can go directly to all the voices you use the most, without having to hop
around other Categories — a great aid when playing live.
Select the desired Category, then move the cursor to your favorite voice in the Category list, and press the [F5] button
to checkmark the the box next to the voice name. (You can un-checkmark it by pressing the [F5] button again.) Go
on to other Categories and continue registering your favorites. After you’ve checkmarked all the voices you want, press
the [DRUMKIT/FAVORITE] button to store them to the Favorites Category. All the voices you’ve checkmarked — and
only those voices — will be shown in the list. To exit from the Favorites Category, simply press the
[DRUMKIT/FAVORITE] button again.
