Storing edited Voices

About Plug-in Voices

Basic Structure (page 34)

Plug-in Boards give you an enormous amount of additional sonic flexibility and power. When installed, they work seamlessly and transparently within the system of the MOTIF — meaning that you can use their sounds and functions just as if they were built right into the MOTIF at the factory. Up to three Plug-in boards can be installed to the MOTIF. If the Plug-in Board has been correctly installed, the corresponding SLOT lamp will light, the voice data appropriate for the installed board is set up automatically as Plug-in voices and you can select the Plug-in bank as well as the built-in Voice bank.

The Plug-in voices can be edited via the MOTIF’s panel operation in much the same way as User voices. After editing, up to 64 Plug-in voices for each Plug-in board can be stored.

Editing and saving Board voices

Reference (page 159)

Included among the Board voices is a special set of voices — called Board Custom voices — which can be edited by a computer connected to the MOTIF, using special editing software included with the Plug-in board.

Because the Plug-in boards do not have SRAM and the edited voice data will be lost when turning the power off, the edited Board Custom voice data should be saved to the memory card or the SCSI device connected to the MOTIF. The Board Custom voice data saved to the memory card or SCSI device can be loaded automatically when turning the power on by using the Auto Load function.

1Edit the Board voice by using the Voice Editor.

2Transmit the edited data to the memory (DRAM) on the Plug-in board.
