Controlling the instrument from a computer
Using a sequencer to play multiple Voices on the MOTIF ES
The sequence software program SQ01 contained in the included CD-ROM lets you create and edit multi-part song data — which
can be played using the sounds of the MOTIF ES.
Refer to the separate Installation Guide.
For details on the MIDI settings, refer to the separate
Installation Guide.
For details on synchronization settings, refer to the on-line
help of the SQ01.
From the “File” menus on the SQ01, select “Open” to call up
the dialog box. Then select the desired song file.
These settings make it possible for the Songs and Patterns on
the MOTIF ES to start, play and stop in exact synchronization
with the external controlling device (in this case, the computer
sequencer).
Click the [F] (Play) button on the SQ01 to start the selected
song.
Recording sequencer song data to Song tracks on the MOTIF ES
If you have MIDI sequence data on your computer and want to use it as a Song on the MOTIF ES, you can play back the
data on a MIDI sequencer (such as the SQ01) and record it to the MOTIF ES.
1 Follow the instructions described in “Setting up for
using a computer” (page 142).
2 Start the SQ01 on the computer then set all MIDI-
related parameters, including synchronization.

mode, then select a Song to be recorded.
6 Press the [●] (Record) button to enter the Song
Record mode.

the same time.
