Use the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons to step up or down through the available voices. Naturally, this also lets you switch to the next available Group, up or down. For example, if the currently selected voice is A16, pressing the [INC/YES] button selects Voice B01. Hold either button down to continuously scroll through the voices.

 

■ Using the data dial

 

Rotating the data dial to the right (clockwise) increases

 

voice number, while rotating it to the left (counter-

 

clock wise) decreases it. This control works in the

 

same way as the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons,

This convenient feature lets you select voices according

 

to their instrument type or application. The voices are

 

divided into sixteen different categories, and these

 

category keywords often give you a clear idea of the

 

characteristics of a voice that might not be apparent

 

from its name.

■Using the Category Search function

Category Search lets you quickly locate the type of voice you need, regardless of its bank location. For example, by specifying the A. PIANO category, you can instantly call up a list of all the available piano-type voices contained in the MOTIF, and select the desired piano voice from the list.

The MOTIF also features a “Favorites” category, to which you can assign your favorite voices. This is convenient especially in live performance situations, giving you quick access to often-used voices — no matter what their particular category or bank.
