Using The Motion Sequencer Function - Yamaha montage6 Owner's Manual

Using the Motion Sequencer
function
The powerful Motion Sequencer feature lets you dynamically
change sounds by operating Parameters depending on
sequences created in advance.
It provides real time control for changing sounds depending
on various sequences such as Tempo, Arpeggio, or the
rhythm of external connected devices.
You can assign up to eight desired Sequence types for one
Lane.
You can also set up to four Lanes corresponding to the
Motion Sequencer function for one Part. Up to eight Lanes
can be used at the same time for the entire Performance.
For the Motion Sequencer function, in addition to being able
to set the Arpeggio playback method, you can also set the
Velocity range, Play Effects, the amount of steps, and so on,
to create your own original grooves.
