Using The Controllers; Using The Knobs - Yamaha Motif XF6 Owner's Manual

Using the Controllers

The MOTIF XF gives you an amazing amount of control
options. Not only is it equipped with conventional Pitch Bend
and Modulation Wheels, it also features an extensive array of
special Knobs, Sliders, Ribbon Controller, and Assignable
Function buttons.

The Voice Play display lets you confirm the assignment
status for each of the six Controllers—in other words,
whether or not the specific function is assigned. (See the
controller assignment chart below.) Keep in mind that the
name of the Voice may include an abbreviation of the
controller most suitable for use when playing the Voice.
