sophisticated functions of the MOTIF and to discover just how much it has to offer. Each set of instructions gives
you the basic tools you need to master the instrument. If you're in need of more information or details, go straight to
the Reference section — the relevant page number is indicated here at the beginning of each topic.

Playing the Demos

Here's the best place to start your explorations of the MOTIF. The Song and Master Demos have been specially
programmed so you can hear just how amazing the sounds are, and find out just how powerful the instrument really is.
Auto Demo Load
The MOTIF features special Demo data (Song and Master programs) which is stored to ROM and can be loaded to DRAM by
using the Auto Demo Load function. When this parameter is set to "on," the Demo song data is automatically loaded when
the power is turned on. The Auto Demo Load parameter is set to off when the MOTIF is shipped from the factory. (Under
normal playing circumstances, you'll want to use the full memory of the instrument and won't want to have the Demo
programs automatically load.) Before you can play the Demos, you'll need to turn this function on (as described below).
