Quick Guide
Using the Multi Mode
The Multi Mode lets you set up the MOTIF-RACK as a multitimbral tone generator for use with computer-based
music software or external sequencers. If each track in a song file uses a different MIDI channel, you independently
assign each of the Parts in a Multi to those MIDI channels. In this way, you can play back the song data on a
sequencer with each track playing a different Voice.
