Selecting a Mixing Template
Here is an exceptionally convenient Song/Pattern creation
tool. The MOTIF ES has 32 different Mixing Templates for use
with a Song or Pattern, each pre-programmed for a variety of
music styles and applications. Simply dial up the template
that comes closest to the type of Song or Pattern you wish to
create, tweak the settings as desired, then start recording. It’s
a quick, smooth and inspiring way to get your ideas down.
Select a Template number by using the data dial, or the [INC/
YES]/[DEC/NO] buttons. For details, refer to the Mixing
Template list in the separate Data List booklet.
You can confirm the Voice settings for the Parts by selecting
tracks one by one and playing the keyboard with each. If you
wish to check the detailed settings, call up and view each
display in the Song Mixing mode and Song Mixing Edit mode.
Tweak and change the Mixing parameters — especially the
Voices — to fit the song you intend to create. For details about
the Mixing Edit mode, see page 127.

settings made above.
