Editing Plug-in Voices and Board Voices
As described on page 76, the voices of a Plug-in Board installed to the MOTIF ES can be divided into two types: Board
voices and Plug-in voices. Plug-in Voices can be edited in the Voice Edit mode on the MOTIF ES or can be edited by using
the Voice Editor on the computer. Board Voices, however, are edited using the dedicated editor software contained on the
included CD-ROM, “TOOLS for Modular Synthesis Plug-in System.”
Using the TWE Wave Editor to edit Samples
The TWE wave editing software (included on the CD-ROM) lets you edit audio on your computer and save them as samples for
use with the MOTIF ES. Thanks to the easy-to-understand graphical interface, you can edit virtually all of the wave parameters
right from your computer.
nFor details on how to install TWE and the minimum system requirements, refer to the separate Installation Guide.
nFor information on how to use TWE, refer to the TWE manual (PDF format) on the CD-ROM.
