Optional Plug-in Board Installation
A variety of optional Plug-in boards sold separately let you expand the voice library of your instrument. For details about the
Plug-in Board line up which can be used with the MOTIF ES, see page 74.
The MOTIF ES provides three slots on the rear panel for Plug-in Boards, allowing you to install up to three boards for
simultaneous use.
n The Vocal Harmony Plug-in board (PLG100-VH) can be installed only to slot 1.
n The Multi part Plug-in board (PLG-100XG) can be installed only to slot 3.
n The Single part Plug-in board can be installed to any of three slots.
Installing the Plug-in Board
1 Turn the power of the MOTIF ES off, and disconnect the
AC power cord. Also, make sure to disconnect the
MOTIF ES from any connected external devices.
2 Remove the large screw from the expansion bay cover
on the rear panel using a Phillips screwdriver.
Keep the removed screw in a safe place. It will be used when re-
attaching the cover to the instrument.
3 Remove the ribbon cables that are to be connected to
the Plug-in board from the inside of the MOTIF ES.
The slots are assigned to the color-coded cables as
follows:
4 Insert the board along the guide rails about two-thirds
of the way inside the MOTIF ES, with the connector side
face up and toward you.
