Using The A/D Input Sound - Yamaha MOTIF ES Owner's Manual

Playing the Keyboard (in the Performance Play mode)

Using the A/D input sound

One of the enormous benefits of the Performance mode is that you can have the A/D input sound — such as your voice through
a microphone, a guitar, bass, or CD player — assigned as one of the four Parts of a Performance. Various Part parameters such
as volume, pan, and effects can be set for this Part, and the sound of the Part is mixed and output together with the other Parts.
These parameters are set and stored in the Performance Store mode for each Performance.

The Audio Input part is available also in the Song mode/Pattern mode, but is not available in the Voice mode. The procedure and explanations here apply to
the Song and Pattern modes as well. The microphone related parameters (corresponding to step #8 below) of each Song/Pattern are edited in the Song
Mixing mode/Pattern Mixing mode.
