Display-based Controls

Note (Key) settings

Several MOTIF parameters let you set a key range for a function — for example, in setting up a keyboard split — by specifying certain note values. You can use the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons or data dial to set these parameters, or you can directly enter the values from the keyboard by pressing the appropriate keys (as shown below). In the example display here, element 1 of a voice is being edited.

INFORMATION

When Note Limit is selected, the [KBD] mark appears, indicating that you can use the keyboard to set the value. Simultaneously hold down the [INFORMATION] button and press the appropriate key.

Naming

The MOTIF allows you to create your own original data such as voices, performances, songs, and styles. You can also freely name the data as desired.
