System Overview

●Song/Pattern mode

External sequencer

MIDI cables by themselves cannot handle data from multiple ports. If a MIDI cable is used to transmit data from an external sequencer, only the Port 1 parts are used. To take advantage of the multiple ports of the MOTIF, use a USB cable.

Each track of music (MIDI) data sounds a

 

corresponding part on the MOTIF,

 

according to the MIDI channel settings.

 

(The receive channel for each part must

 

match the transmit channel of each track.)
