functions and operations, you may find it difficult to locate
and call up the particular feature you need.This is where the
Master function comes in handy. You can use it to memorize
the operations you use most often in each mode, and call them
up instantly anytime you need them with a single button
press. The MOTIF has space for a total of 128 of your own
User Master settings.

those you can store in the Song/Pattern mode. Here
are the main differences:

Song mode, Pattern numbers in the Pattern mode.
n Operations and settings in File mode, Utility mode
and Sampling mode cannot be stored to a User
Master.

you can also store master keyboard functions — such
as the Zone settings, in which the MOTIF keyboard is
divided into up to four different Zones.
