[F5] MIDI settings●[F5]-[SF1] MIDI Channel

From this display you can make basic MIDI settings.

• BasicRcvCh (Basic Receive Channel)

Determines the MIDI channel over which the MOTIF receives MIDI data (from an external sequencer, MIDI controller, or other device). This parameter is available for the Voice / Performance mode.

❏ Settings 1~16, omni (all channels), off

• KBDTransCh (Keyboard Transmit Channel)

Determines the MIDI channel over which the MOTIF sends MIDI data (to an external sequencer, tone generator, or other device). This parameter is available for the Voice / Performance mode.

❏ Settings 1~16, off

nIn the Song/Pattern mode, the MIDI data created by playing the keyboard/knobs/wheels is sent to the tone generator block or the external MIDI devices via the MIDI output channel of the currently selected track (page 38).

•DeviceNo. (Device Number)

Determines the device number used by the MOTIF in receiving or transmitting data. This number must match the Device Number of the external MIDI device when transmitting/receiving bulk data, parameter changes or other system exclusive messages to/from it.

❏ Settings 1~16, all, off

• FileUtilID (File Utility ID)

This determines the ID number used in conjunction with file transfers using the special File Utility software in the included CD-ROM. This File Utility ID number and the Device Number (above) must match the ones of the the File Utility software in order to properly transfer files between the MOTIF and a connected computer.

❏Settings: 1~128

●[F5]-[SF2] MIDI Switch

Reference

From this display you can determine which types of

MIDI data the MOTIF transmits and responds to.

 

mode Utility

 

• BankSel

This switch enables or disables Bank Select messages, both in transmission and reception. When this is set to “on,” the MOTIF responds to incoming Bank Select messages, and it also transmits appropriate Bank Select messages (when using the panel).

❏ Settings off, on

• PgmChange (Program Change)

This switch enables or disables Program Change messages, both in transmission and reception. When this is set to “on,” the MOTIF responds to incoming Program Change messages, and it also transmits appropriate Program Change messages (when using the panel).

❏ Settings off, on

• CtrlChange (Control Change mode)

This parameter lets you set the MOTIF to properly respond to either type of GM System data, Level 1 or Level 2 — particularly regarding AEG Sustain. When using GM Level 2, set this to Mode 1, and the MOTIF responds to the messages as parameter change data. When using GM Level 1, set this to Mode 2, and the MOTIF responds to the messages as control change data.

❏ Settings mode1, mode2

• LocalCtrl (Local Control On/Off)

This determines whether or not the tone generator of the MOTIF responds to your keyboard playing. Normally, this should be set to “on” — since you’ll want to hear the sound of the MOTIF as you play it. However, for external sequencer applications, you may need to set this to “off” to avoid getting “double” notes, in which the tone generator of the MOTIF is played twice — once by the keyboard and once again by the keyboard data routed through the sequencer.

Even if this is set to “off,” the data will be transmitted through the MIDI OUT or USB terminal. Also, the MOTIF’s tone generator block will respond to messages received via the MIDI IN or USB terminal.

❏ Settings off, on

• RcvBulk (Receive Bulk)

Determines whether or not Bulk Dump data can be received.

❏ Settings protect (not received), on (received)

●[F5]-[SF3] MIDI Sync

From this display you can set various parameters related to MIDI clock and synchronization.

• MIDI Sync

Determines whether Song/Pattern/Arpeggio playback will be synchronized to the MOTIF’s internal clock or an external MIDI clock.

❏ Settings internal, MIDI, MTC internal

Synchronization to internal clock. Use this setting when the MOTIF is to be used alone or as the master clock source for other equipment.

MIDI

The MOTIF is synchronized to a MIDI clock received from an external MIDI device via the MIDI IN or USB terminal.
