Using as a Master Keyboard
This synthesizer is loaded with such a wealth of different features, functions and operations, you may find it difficult to locate and
call up the particular feature you need. This is where the Master function comes in handy. You can use it to memorize the
operations you use most often in each mode, and call them up instantly anytime you need them with a single button press. This
synthesizer has space for a total of 128 of your own User Master settings.
Selecting a Master
The MOTIF ES features 128 specially programmed Masters, stored to internal User memory (Flash ROM). Try some of these out
now.
Selecting a Master is done in basically the same way as selecting a Voice. Since the there is only one bank for Masters, you
need not select a Master Bank.
When the Mode is set to Voice or Performance, play the keyboard.
When the Mode is set to Song or Pattern, press the [F] (Play) button.
