Creating a Song on the MOTIF ES
130 Owner’s Manual
Editing a Mixing by using Control Sliders (in the Song mode/Pattern mode)
In the Song/Pattern mode, the four Control Sliders let you independently adjust the levels of the Parts (Voices), letting you
control the overall balance of the Parts.
nInadvertent use of the sliders may result in no sound. If this occurs, move the sliders upward.
Creating an Arpeggio
In addition using the preset Arpeggios, you can also create your own original Arpeggio data.
Actually, there is no direct operation for recording Arpeggios. First, you have to record a Phrase to a Song or Pattern track.
Then, use the appropriate Song or Pattern Job function to convert the data to Arpeggio data.
■ Determining how Song/Pattern data is converted to an Arpeggio — Convert Type
MIDI sequence data (of Song/Pattern tracks) can be converted to Arpeggio data in one of three ways, according to the
Convert types below. These types can also be selected independently for each destination track — providing enormous
flexibility and performance control.

Normal The Arpeggio is played back using only the played note and its octave notes.
Fixed Playing any note(s) will trigger the same MIDI sequence data.
OrgNotes (Original Notes) Basically same as “Fixed” with the exception that the Arpeggio playback notes differ according to the played chord.
