Normal Voices & Drum Voices
Internally, there are two Voice Types: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. Normal Voices are mainly pitched musical
instrument-type sounds that can be played over the range of the keyboard. Drum voices are mainly percussion/drum
sounds that are assigned to individual notes on the keyboard. A collection of assigned percussion/drum waves or
Normal Voices is known as a Drum Kit.

GM voices
GM is a worldwide standard for Voice organization and MIDI functions of synthesizers and tone generators. It was
designed primarily to ensure that any song data created with a specific GM device would sound virtually the same on
any other GM device — no matter the manufacturer or the model. The GM Voice bank on the MOTIF-RACK is
designed to appropriately play back GM song data. However, keep in mind that the sound may not be exactly the
same as played by the original tone generator.
Normal Voices & Elements
Each Normal Voice can consist of up to four Elements. Each Element itself is a high-quality waveform or instrument
sound. Since you can combine up to four Elements together in a voice, highly expressive and richly textured sounds
are possible. You can also split different instrument sounds across the external keyboard to be playable separately
with your left and right hands – without having to specially set up a Multi program.
