Powering Up

Power-on Procedure

Once you've made all the necessary connections between your MOTIF and any other devices, make sure that all
volume settings are turned down all the way to zero. Then turn on the every device in your setup in the order of
MIDI masters (senders), MIDI slaves (receivers), then audio equipment (mixers, amplifiers, speakers, etc.). This
ensures smooth signal flow from the first device to the last (first MIDI, then audio).
When powering down the setup, first turn down the volume for each audio devices, then switch off
each device in the reverse order (first audio devices, then MIDI).
n If the SCSI device is connected to the MOTIF, first turn the SCSI device on and follow the instructions below. When turning the
power off in this case, turn the SCSI device off after all other devices.
