Voice Editing With The Control Knobs; Selecting The Controllable Functions - Yamaha MOTIF6 Owner's Manual

Editing Voices

Voice editing with the Control knobs

These knobs let you change various aspects of the Voice's sound in real time — while you play. Turn a knob to the
right to increase the value, and left to decrease it. If you want to keep the edits you make, you can store them to a new
voice (page 86).
n Each voice of the MOTIF has been programmed with a default or standard parameter value. Using these knobs offsets the default
or standard parameter value. Regardless of the size of the offset, the minimum and maximum limits cannot be exceeded.
n Using these knobs in the Performance mode affects the currently selected performance, and not the voices themselves.

Selecting the controllable functions

Functions assigned to each knob can be selected among four types as illustrated below.
Use the [KNOB CONTROL FUNCTION] button to change the parameter set for the knobs. The corresponding LED lights
to indicate which group of parameters are active and the Control of the available functions appear in the LCD display as
shown below.
Press the [EXIT] button to go back to the original display.

FUNCTION
Press this repeatedly to select each function row.
n If the "Rev" knob in the display is dark, any tweaking you
do to the Knob immediately affects the sound. However, if
the knob in the display is light, turning the knob will not
have any effect until you reach the current setting. Once
you've adjusted the Knob to that setting point, the display
knob turns dark, and you can tweak the sound.
