Connections

Connecting to external audio
equipment
Since the MOTIF-RACK ES has no built-in speakers, you'll need an
external audio system or a set of stereo headphones to properly
monitor it. Alternatively, you could use a pair of headphones.
There are several methods of connecting to external audio
equipment, as described in the following illustrations. The
following illustrations show various connection examples; use the
one most similar to your intended setup.
Connecting stereo powered speakers
A pair of powered speakers can accurately produce the
instrument's rich sounds with their own pan and effect settings.
Connect your powered speakers to the OUTPUT L/MONO and R
jacks on the rear panel.

n When using just one powered speaker, connect it to the OUTPUT L/MONO jack
on the rear panel.
Connecting to a mixer
The MOTIF-RACK ES features ASSIGNABLE OUTPUT 1-4 jacks in
addition to the OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks. Connect these
outputs to a mixer for separately controlling the analog outputs of
Drum keys or Parts (Performance and Multi). For details on how to
set the Part/output jack assignments, refer to the chart below.
Outputting separate notes (keys) of a Drum Voice

n About the main output jacks and the Assignable Output jacks
• Connecting a pair of headphones does not affect audio output from the
OUTPUT (L/MONO and R) jacks. You can monitor the same sounds via
headphones and at the OUTPUT jacks.
• Any Parts/Drum keys assigned to the ASSIGNABLE OUTPUT jacks will not be
output through the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks or PHONES jack.
• The System Effects (Reverb, Chorus), the Master EQ, and the Master Effect
are not applied to the sound output through the ASSIGNABLE OUTPUT jacks.
(Only the Part EQ and the Insertion Effect are applied.)
• The output from the ASSIGNABLE OUTPUT jacks is not affected by the
[VOLUME] knob.
• In Voice mode, the Normal Voice will not be output via the ASSIGNABLE
OUTPUT jacks.
