Voice Play mode
■ Using the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO]
buttons
Pressing the [INC/YES] button increases the number by 1.

Use the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons to step up
or down through the available voices. Naturally, this
also lets you switch to the next available Group, up or
down. For example, if the currently selected voice is
A16, pressing the [INC/YES] button selects Voice B01.
Hold either button down to continuously scroll
through the voices.
■ Using the data dial
Rotating the data dial to the right (clockwise) increases
voice number, while rotating it to the left (counter-
clock wise) decreases it. This control works in the
same way as the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons,
but lets you scroll through the voices more quickly.
This convenient feature lets you select voices according
to their instrument type or application. The voices are
divided into sixteen different categories, and these
category keywords often give you a clear idea of the
characteristics of a voice that might not be apparent
from its name.
■ Using the Category Search function
Category Search lets you quickly locate the type of
voice you need, regardless of its bank location. For
example, by specifying the A. PIANO category, you can
instantly call up a list of all the available piano-type
voices contained in the MOTIF, and select the desired
piano voice from the list.
The MOTIF also features a “Favorites” category, to
which you can assign your favorite voices. This is
convenient especially in live performance situations,
giving you quick access to often-used voices — no
matter what their particular category or bank.
