Owner’s Manual
Memorize to a Master
Input a name in the [EDIT] → [COMMON] → [F1] NAME
display.
For detailed instructions on naming, refer to page 53 in the
Basic Operation section.
1
Press the [STORE] button to enter the Master Store mode.
2 Select the destination Master by using the data dial,
[INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] button.
When you execute the Store operation, the settings for the destination
memory will be overwritten. Important data should always be backed up
to a separate SmartMedia/USB storage device.
3 Press the [ENTER] button. (The display prompts you for
confirmation.)
To cancel the Store operation, press the [DEC/NO] button.
4 Press the [INC/YES] button to execute the Store
operation.
Keep in mind that the Store operation may take a short time to
complete, during which an “Executing..” or “Please keep power on”
message may be shown. Never attempt to turn off the power while data
is being written to Flash ROM while such a message is displayed.
Turning the power off in this state results in loss of all user data and
may cause the system to freeze (due to corruption of data in the Flash
ROM). This may also result in the MOTIF ES being unable to properly
start up the next time the power is turned on.
If you select another Master without storing, the currently edited Master
will be lost. Make sure to store the edited Master before selecting
another Master.
For details, see page 132. Set the file type to “All.”
Using Zones (keyboard area)
In the Master mode, you can divide the keyboard into (up to) four independent areas (called “Zones”). To each Zone can be
assigned different MIDI channels and different functions of the Knobs and Control Sliders. This makes it possible to control
several parts of the multi-timbral tone generator simultaneously by a single keyboard or to control voices of an external MIDI
instrument over several different channels in addition to the internal voices of this synthesizer itself — letting you use the MOTIF
ES to effectively do the work of several keyboards. You can set the parameters related to the four Zones in the Master Edit mode
and store the settings as a User Master.
