Voice Edit mode

• FMOD (Filter Modulation Depth)

Determines the amount (depth) by which the LFO waveform varies (modulates) the Filter Cutoff frequency. The higher the value, the greater the amount of filter modulation.

❏ Settings 0 ~ 127

• AMOD (Amplitude Modulation Depth)

Determines the amount (depth) by which the LFO waveform varies (modulates) the amplitude or volume of the sound. The higher the value, the greater the amount of amplitude modulation.

❏ Settings 0 ~ 127

●[F6] Normal Element EQ (Equalizer)

• Type

		Determines the Equalizer Type. The MOTIF features a
		wide selection of various equalizer types, which can be
		used not only to enhance the original sound, but even
		completely change the character of the sound. The
		particular parameters and settings available depend on the
Reference		specific Equalizer Type that is selected.
		❏	This is a “shelving” equalizer, which combines

P.EQ (Parametric EQ)

The Parametric EQ is used to attenuate or boost signal levels (gain) around the Frequency. This type features 32 different “Q” settings, which determine the frequency band width of the equalizer.

Boost6 (Boost 6dB)/Boost12 (Boost 12dB)/Boost18 (Boost 18dB)

These can be used to boost the level of the entire signal by 6dB, 12dB and 18dB, respectively.

If you select this, the equalizers are bypassed and the entire signal is unaffected.

Drum Voice Edit

Basic Structure (page 45)

◆Common edit and Drum Key edit

Each Drum voice consists of various Waves and/or Normal voices, each assigned to notes across the keyboard, from C0 to C6 (page 45). Use Drum Common Edit to edit the settings that apply to all Drum keys in the voice. There are two types of Drum Voice Edit displays: those for Common Edit, and those for editing individual keys (elements).

COMMON

Drum Key

Indicates a Common Edit display.

Indicates a display for editing a single key (in this case, C 0)

◆Basic Procedure

Basic Structure (page 70)

1 Press the [VOICE] button to enter the Voice Play mode. (The indicator lights.)

2 Select a Drum voice to be edited.

3 Press the [EDIT] button to enter the Voice Edit mode. (The indicator lights.)
