Owner’s Manual
Mono (Control #126)
Performs the same function as when an All Sounds Off
message is received, and if the 3rd byte (mono number) is in
the range of 0 - 16, it sets the corresponding channel to Mono
Mode (Mode 4: m = 1).
Poly (Control #127)
Performs the same function as when an All Sounds Off
message is received, and sets the corresponding channel to
Poly Mode.
■ Program Change
Messages that determine which voice to select for each Part.
With a combination of Bank Select, you can select not only
basic voice numbers, but also variation voice bank numbers.
For a list of the Voices, see the separate Data List.
■ Pitch Bend
Pitch Bend messages are continuous controller messages
that allow the pitch of designated notes to be raised or
lowered by a specified amount over a specified duration.
■ Channel Aftertouch
Messages which let you control the sounds by the pressure
you apply to the keys after the initial striking of the keys, over
the entire channel.
This synthesizer does not transmit this data from the
keyboard; however, this synthesizer does properly respond to
this data when received from an external device.
■ Polyphonic Aftertouch
Messages which let you control the sounds by the pressure
you apply to the keys after the initial striking of the keys, for
each individual key. This synthesizer does not transmit this
data from the keyboard; however, the data is transmitted from
the internal sequencer.
SYSTEM MESSAGES
System messages are the data related to the overall system of
the device.
■ System Exclusive Messages
System Exclusive messages control various functions of this
synthesizer, including master volume and master tuning, tone
generator mode, effect type and various other parameters.
General MIDI (GM) System On (Song mode/Pattern only)
When “General MIDI system on” is received, the MOTIF ES
will receive the MIDI messages which are compatible with GM
System Level 1, and consequently will not receive NRPN and
Bank Select messages.
F0 7E 7F 09 01 F7 (Hexadecimal)
n Make sure that the interval between this message and the first note
data of the song is at least a quarter note or greater in length.
Master Volume
When received, the Volume MSB will be effective for the
System Parameter.
F0 7F 7F 04 01 ll mm F7 (Hexadecimal)
* mm (MSB) = appropriate volume value, ll (LSB) = ignored
■ System Realtime Messages
These messages control the sequencer, that is to say Song
and Pattern.
Active Sensing (FEH)
Once FEH (Active Sensing) has been received, if no MIDI
data is subsequently received for longer than an interval of
approximately 300 msec, the MOTIF ES will perform the same
function as when All Sounds Off, All Notes Off, and Reset All
Controllers messages are received, and will then return to a
status in which FEH is not monitored
Timing Clock (F8H)
This message is transmitted with a fixed interval (24 times per
1/4 note) to synchronize connected MIDI instruments.
You can select whether the sequencer block uses the internal
Timing Clock, or external Timing Clock messages received
via MIDI IN by setting the MIDI Sync parameter: [UTILITY] →
[F5] MIDI → [SF3] SYNC → MIDI Sync.
Start (FAH)
This message lets the MIDI sequence data start playing back
from the beginning. This message will be transmitted when
pressing the [F] (Play) button at the top of the Song or
Pattern.
Continue (FBH)
This message lets the MIDI sequence data start playing back
from the current song position. This message will be
transmitted when pressing the [F] (Play) button at the
middle of the Song or Pattern.
Stop (FCH)
This message causes MIDI sequence data (song) to stop
playing back. This message will be transmitted when
pressing the [■] (Stop) button during playback.
n You can select whether this synthesizer will transmit Timing Clock,
Start, Continue, and Stop messages by setting the SeqCtrl parameter:
[UTILITY] → [F5] MIDI → [SF3] SYNC → SeqCtrl.
■ System Common Message
System Common messages also control the sequencer,
including Song Select and Song Position Pointer messages.
