Using As A Master Keyboard (Master Mode); Registering The Edited Voice/Performance/Song/Pattern; Making Settings For Use As A Master Keyboard - Yamaha Motif XF6 Owner's Manual

Using as a Master Keyboard (Master Mode)

The Master mode lets you:
• Create and store up to 128 programs, each containing a Voice, a Performance, a Song or a Pattern—which can be instantly
called up for use.
• Assign up to eight separate Zones in each Master program for use as a master keyboard.
You can use the Master mode to memorize the settings you use most often, including the information on which mode is used,
and call up these settings instantly anytime you need them with a single button press. Furthermore, you can memorize the
settings for controlling an external MIDI device by the Master, allowing you to change and control the connected external MIDI
tone generator in sequence while performing live.
Registering the Edited Voice/
Performance/Song/Pattern
It is a good idea to assign the Voice mode to one Master
program number (for example, 001) and the Performance
mode to the next numbered program (i.e., 002) if you want to
quickly call up a specific Voice then a related specific
Performance. Follow the steps below to store the program.
1
Press the [MASTER] button to enter the Master
mode.

Select a Master to be edited.
3
Press the [EDIT] button to enter the Master Edit
mode.

Press the [COMMON EDIT] button to call up
Common Edit, then press the [F2] Other button.

Move the cursor to "Mode" then select the desired
Mode (i.e., Voice mode).
6
Move the cursor to "Memory" then select the
desired program number (i.e., Voice number).

Master program.
Making settings for use as a
master keyboard
In the Master mode, you can divide the keyboard into a
maximum of eight independent areas (called "Zones").
Different MIDI channels and different functions of the Knobs
and Control Sliders can be assigned to each Zone. This
makes it possible to control several Parts of the multi-timbral
tone generator simultaneously by a single keyboard or to
control Voices of an external MIDI instrument over several
different channels in addition to the internal Voices of this
synthesizer itself—letting you use the MOTIF XF to effectively
do the work of several keyboards. You can set the
parameters related to the eight Zones in the Master Edit
mode and store the settings as a User Master.
There are two types of Master Edit displays: those for editing
parameters common to all eight Zones and those for editing
individual Zones.
