MTC (MIDI Time Code)

The MOTIF is synchronized to an MTC signal received via the MIDI IN or USB terminal. MMC signals are transmitted via the MIDI OUT or USB terminal. Use this setting when the MOTIF is to be used as a MIDI slave, such as when synchronized to an MTC-capable MTR.

nThe MTC Sync function is available only in the Song mode. The Pattern playback (in the Pattern mode) and the Arpeggio playback (in the Voice/ Performance mode) cannot be synced to MTC.

nMTC (MIDI Time Code) allows simultaneous synchronization of multiple audio devices via standard MIDI cables. It includes data corresponding to hours, minutes, seconds, and frames. The MOTIF does not transmit MTC. A device such as the Yamaha AW4416 is necessary in order to the MOTIF as an MTC master.

nMMC (MIDI Machine Control) allows remote control of multitrack recorders, MIDI sequencers, etc. A MMC-compatible multitrack recorder, for example, will automatically respond to start, stop, fast forward, and fast reverse operations performed on the controlling sequencer, thus keeping playback of the sequencer and multitrack recorder aligned.

•ClockOut

Determines whether MIDI clock (F8) messages will be transmitted via the MIDI OUT/USB terminal.

❏ Settings on (transmitted), off

• SeqCtrl (Sequencer Control)

Determines whether Sequencer Control signals — start, continue, stop, and song position pointer — will be received and/or transmitted via the MIDI OUT/USB terminal.

• MTC StartOffset

Determines the specific time code point from which sequence playback starts, when MTC is received. This feature can be used to accurately align playback of the RS7000 with an external MTC-compatible device.

●[F5]-[SF4] MIDI Other

From this display you can set parameters related to the MIDI terminals and port number.

Utility mode

•MIDI IN/OUT

Determines which physical output terminal(s) will be used for transmitting/receiving MIDI data: MIDI IN/OUT/THRU, USB, or mLAN (when the optional mLAN8E has been installed).

❏ Settings MIDI, USB, mLAN

nThree types of terminals above cannot be used at the same time. Only one of them can be used to transmit/receive the MIDI data.

•ThruPort (Through Port)

Many computer sequencers are capable of transmitting data over several MIDI ports, effectively breaking the 16- channel barrier. When using the USB terminal for MIDI transmission/reception, you can have the MOTIF respond to MIDI data over one port, while relaying the data for another port number to a separate tone generator (connected to the MIDI OUT terminal). In this way, 16 channels of data can be played on the MOTIF and another 16 can be played on the connected device. Plug-in boards installed to the MOTIF can also be independently addressed via separate MIDI ports (page 38), further expanding the amount of channels.

Make sure to set Thru Port to the intended port number of the connected device.

❏Settings 1~8

[F6] Plug-in board settings

When a Plug-in board is installed, the following displays and parameters are available. The particular parameters available depends on the type of Plug-in board that is installed.

nAn Effect Plug-in board can only be installed to slot 1, while a Multi-part Plug-in board can only be installed to slot 3. Single Part Plug-in boards can be installed to any of the three slots.

●[F6]-[SF1] Plug-in board Status

The name of the Plug-in Board is displayed.

• PolyExpand

Utility mode

Reference

This parameter is accessible only when you have two or

 

three identical Plug-in boards installed on the MOTIF.

 

The “off” setting enables two or three boards to work

 

separately (you can select them in two or three different

 

Parts). When this is set to “on,” the two boards effectively

 

function together as one board (used in a single part) —

 

giving you double the amount of polyphonic notes you can

 

play at one time.
