To understand rule 3 please take your time with
this article. We have all ready seen how MASTER
setups can be used to simply recall a Voice, a
Performance, a Song or a Pattern. Now, we need
to understand how a MASTER can work as a
"multi-zoned" controller setup, controlling both
internal
and
external
architecture of the Motif ES is extremely flexible.
NOTE: Your mileage will vary depending on the MIDI
modules you are using. Please refer to the Owner's
Manuals of your external gear for Bank Select and

information they are capable of receiving in this fashion.
Some modules require you store the Volume and Pan
information locally in their own setup, which you recall.
Some modules can receive Volume and Pan commands
directly.
When a Master Zone Switched Setup is recalled
(F2 MEMORY from the main MASTER screen) you
can have it send a Bank Select and Program
Change both to the internal tone generator and
out via MIDI or, if you wish, to one or the other,
as is necessary to setup your rig. The key thing to
know is that you can control up to 4 individual
ZONES. That said, you might find some unique
uses for the Master setups as you get to know
them better.

The PLG150-VL is currently the only board with the
additional two PLGPRE banks, (PLGPRE 2 and 3), to
accommodate velocity and breath controlled Voice
setups.
Motif ES Performances can be recalled via the
same type of Bank Select messages. You can use
a Performance when a Performance Memory
location is associated with the Master setup.
Bank
Performance
If, for example, you want a MASTER to recall the
Organ Voice: You could simply associate the
MASTER with the VOICE on the F2 MEMORY
screen without using the ZONE Switch. But let's
see how you can use the MSB/LSB screen to
address internal sounds...Make sure the ZONE
Switch is set to ON back on the F2 MEMORY page.
Press EDIT and touch Track 1 to select ZONE 1 for
editing...The MSB/LSB Preset page is F4:
"LeftManual" located in PRESET bank #2, position
1, you would associate the MASTER with VOICE
mode, then send MSB = 063/ LSB = 001 (to
select Preset 2) and PC 1. To recall an entire
Performance you would associate the MASTER to
Performance mode and then send MSB = 063/
LSB = 064 followed by the Program Change
number to recall the desired Performance.
You cannot use Bank Select commands to address
a single Voice within a Performance. (Or to
switch from Performance to Voice or vice versa.)
A Performance must be recalled as a unit. The
reason should be obvious but let's state it again
anyway: A Performance addresses all of it's
component PARTS (Voices) on the same (Basic)
MIDI channel and only one Performance can be
recalled at a time. Notice that when you activate
the MASTER mode the Voice, Performance, Song,
or Pattern mode LED is also illuminated signifying
that you are actually in that mode... Its rules will
apply!
