Quick Guide — Playing the MOTIF ES
Select one of the Banks from Preset 1~6, User 1~2, and GM.
Voices in each Bank are divided into Groups [A] ~ [H]. Select
a Group to display the Voices that belong to the selected
Group.
Press one of the NUMBER [1] - [16] buttons.
Selecting a Drum Voice
Internally, there are two Voice Types: Normal Voices and Drum
Voices. Normal Voices are mainly pitched musical instrument-
type sounds that can be played over the range of the
keyboard. Drum Voices are mainly percussion/drum sounds
that are assigned to individual notes on the keyboard. In this
section, we’ll show you how to select a Drum Voice.
While holding the [DRUM KITS] button, press one of the
arrow-indicated buttons: [PRE5] (Preset Drum), [USER1]
(User Drum), or [GM] (GM Drum).
This operation is basically the same as in selecting a Normal
Voice. You can select a Group from A to D when selecting the
Preset Drum Bank in step #2. You can select a Group from A
or B when selecting the User Drum Bank in step #2. You can
select only A when selecting the GM Drum Bank in step #2.
This is the same as in selecting a Normal Voice.
n For details about the instrument assignments for each key, refer to the
separate Data List.
Using the [INC/YES], [DEC/NO] buttons and data dial
You can select a Voice Number by using the [INC/YES],
[DEC/NO] buttons and data dial in steps #3 and #4.
n The procedure for selecting Voices in other modes differs
from above. For details on selecting Voices in the
Performance mode, see page 71. For details on selecting
Voices in the Song/Pattern mode, see page 102.
