Audio Input - Yamaha MOTIF ES Owner's Manual

Digital Output using the optional AIEB2
When the optional AIEB2 board has been installed to the rear panel, the sound output through the OUTPUT jacks by analog can
also be output by digital through the OPTICAL OUTPUT jack and the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. Using these digital output jacks,
you can record the keyboard performance or Song/Pattern playback of this synthesizer to external media (e.g., an MD recorder)
with exceptionally high-quality sound.

Audio Input

Connecting a microphone or other audio equipment to the A/D INPUT jacks (analog input)
External instruments and audio equipment, such as a microphone, guitar, bass, CD player or even another synthesizer/keyboard
can be connected to the A/D INPUT jacks. This audio can be used as input for the AUDIO IN Part in the Performance/Song/
Pattern mode, and can be used to create samples with the Sampling function (page 172). With the use of an optional PLG100-
VH Plug-in Board, you can even apply an automatic vocal harmony effect to the microphone sound.
