Page 37: Step 5: Creating A Pattern
Step 5: Creating a Pattern The Patterns of the MOTIF XS feature short but fully realized instrumental parts that you can repeat (loop), combine, and arrange in any order you want—giving you the basic material for creating a Song. This section covers what you can do in the Pattern mode.
Page 38: Viewing The Demo Pattern's Patch Display
Step 5: Creating a Pattern Viewing the Demo Pattern’s Patch display From the Patch display called up via the [F4] button, you can conﬁrm what “Phrase” is assigned to each track of the Pattern Section. A “Phrase” is a short musical/rhythmic passage consisting of a single track for a single instrument, such as drum, bass, and guitar.
Page 39: Creating A Pattern By Using Arpeggio
Creating a Pattern by using Arpeggio In addition to creating a Pattern by recording your keyboard performance conventionally, you can also use the powerful Arpeggio playback features of the MOTIF XS (described below) and even record audio data from commercially available sample CDs. This section explains how to create a Pattern by using Arpeggio.

Controlling a DAW on Your Computer from the MOTIF XS The MOTIF XS features a highly convenient Remote Control mode which lets you control the DAW software on your computer the MOTIF XS panel (when the instrument is connected to the computer via USB). For example, you can start/stop playback of the DAW software on the computer by using the SEQ TRANSPORT buttons and control the song position on the DAW software by using the data dial, [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons instead of using the mouse or keyboard of the computer.

Page 56: Tone Generator Block
Basic Structure Tone Generator Block The tone generator block is what actually produces sound in response to the MIDI messages received from the Sequencer block, the Controller block, the Arpeggio block and from the external MIDI instrument via the MIDI IN connector or the USB connector.
Page 57 normally (with the XA Control parameter settings “normal” and “legato”). Authentic note release sound Conventional synthesizers are not good at realizing the sound produced when the note of the acoustic instrument is released. The MOTIF XS realizes the sound produced when the note of the acoustic instrument is released, by setting the XA Control parameter of a certain Element to “key off sound.”...
Page 58 Basic Structure Amplitude related parameters can be set in the Amplitude display (pages 122 and 131), Amplitude EG display (page 123) and Amplitude Scale display (page 124) of the Voice Edit mode. LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) As its name suggests, the LFO produces a wave of a low frequency.
Page 59: Sampling Block
Maximum Polyphony Maximum polyphony refers to the highest number of notes that can be sounded simultaneously from the internal tone generator of the instrument. The maximum polyphony of this synthesizer is 128. When the inter nal tone generator block receives a number of notes exceeding the maximum polyphony, previously played notes are cut off. Keep in mind this may be especially noticeable with Voices not having decay.
Page 60: Song Chain
Basic Structure Scene track This track lets you record Scene change settings, such as the status of track mute and solo. These can be set in the Song Play display (page 178) and recalled during Song playback. During Song playback, the track mute and solo settings change automatically according to the settings you’ve recorded to the Scene track.
Page 61 Sequencer Block applied to both the Song and Pattern MIDI tracks and Audio tracks Depending on the recording method, the Song/Pattern tracks (1 – 16) of this synthesizer are divided into two groups: MIDI tracks and Audio tracks. MIDI tracks are created by recording your keyboard performance in the Song Record mode/Pattern Record mode.
Page 62: Arpeggio Block
Basic Structure Arpeggio Block This block lets you automatically trigger musical and rhythmic phrases using the current Voice by simply pressing a note or notes on the keyboard. The Arpeggio sequence also changes in response to the actual notes or chords you play, giving you a wide variety of inspiring musical phrases and ideas—both in composing and performing.
Page 63 Arpeggio type with “_XS” at the end of the type name (example: Rock1_XS) These Arpeggios use a newly developed chord recognition technology to determine what notes should be played back by the Arpeggio. This XS type of arpeggio has the following beneﬁts: •...

Page 66 Basic Structure Arpeggio playback/recording in the Performance mode Call up some of the Performances in User Banks 1 – 3, and play some of the Arpeggios assigned by default to the Performances. In the Performance mode, each of four Arpeggio types is assigned to each of four Parts. This means up to four Arpeggio types can be played back simultaneously.
Page 67: Controller Block
Controller Block This block consists of the keyboard, Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels, Ribbon Controller, Knobs, Sliders and so on. The keyboard itself doesn’t generate sounds, but instead generates/transmits note on/off, velocity and other information (MIDI messages) to the synthesizer’s tone generator block when you play notes. The controllers also generate/transmit MIDI messages.
Page 68: Effect Block
Basic Structure Knobs and Sliders These eight knobs let you change various aspects of the Voice’s sound in real time—while you play. The eight sliders let you adjust the volume of the Voice Elements, Performance Parts and Mixing Parts. Effect Block This block applies effects to the output of the tone generator block, and audio input block, processing and enhancing the sound.

Page 72 Basic Structure Compressor Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio signal. For signals that vary widely in dynamics, such as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic range, effectively making soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer.

Page 76: About Midi
Basic Structure About MIDI MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages. This synthesizer can control other MIDI devices by transmitting note related data and various types of controller data.

Page 78 Basic Structure Used primarily as offset values for vibrato, ﬁlter, EG and other settings. Data Entry is used to set the parameter value after specifying the parameter using the NRPN MSB and LSB. Once an NRPN is speciﬁed, the following data entry message received on the same channel is processed as the value of that NRPN.
Page 79: Internal Memory
Non-Registered Parameter Number (NRPN) NRPN number Data entry MSB-LSB MSB-LSB Changes parameter values for each tone generator Part. There is no compatibility between different manufacturers. Numerous parameters speciﬁc to each tone generator can be controlled to produce tonal changes. Normally three types of control change data are sent: NRPN MSB (99), NRPN LSB (98), and Data Entry MSB (6).

Page 83: Connections
Any one of the these interfaces can be used for MIDI data transmission/reception: the MIDI connectors, the mLAN connector (available only for the MOTIF XS8, and MOTIF XS6/7 with an optional mLAN16E2 installed), or the USB connector. However, they cannot be used at the same time.
Page 84: Connecting To An Mtr (Multi-Track Recorder)
MTC (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 XS does not transmit MTC. An instrument such as the Yamaha AW2400 which can transmit MTC is necessary as an MTC master.

Page 111 Vocoder structure The human voice consists of sounds generated from the vocal cords, and ﬁltered by the throat, nose and mouth. These resonant sections have speciﬁc frequency characteristics and they function effectively as a ﬁlter, creating many formants (harmonic content). The Vocoder effect extracts the ﬁlter characteristics of the voice from the microphone input and recreates the vocal formants by the use of multiple band pass ﬁlters.
