Element Edit parameters
[VOICE] ➞ Normal Voice selection ➞ [EDIT] ➞ [1] – [8]
If you wish to edit the sounds that make up a Voice and the basic parameters that determine the sound, such as Oscillator,
Pitch, Filter, Amplitude, and EG (Envelope Generator), call up the Element Edit display.
About the asterisk (*) marks
For users who are new to Voice editing and may be confused by the large amount of parameters, the most basic and easy-to-understand
parameters are conveniently marked with asterisks in this section. If you are just starting out with Voice editing, try these parameters first.
Selected Element display/
Four-Element display
In the Element Edit mode, you can use two types of display.
One type of display lets you edit parameters for the
currently selected Element and the other type of display
lets you view parameters for four Elements. You can switch
between these two types by pressing the [SF5] button.
When the display for four Elements is shown, you can
switch between the displays for Elements 1 – 4 and 5 – 8
by using the left and right cursor buttons.
Setting the Waveform and Note range
of the Element—[F1] Oscillator
n Depending on the selected parameter, the LIST icon is shown
at the tab menu corresponding to the [SF6] button. In this
condition, you can call up the list by pressing the [SF6] LIST
button, then select the desired item from the list. For details,
see page 82.
1 Element Switch*
Determines whether the currently selected Element is on or
off. When this is set to off, the currently edited Element will
not sound.
Settings: off (inactive), on (active)
2 XA Control (Expanded Articulation Control)
Expanded Articulation (XA) is a special feature of the
MOTIF XS that provides greater performance flexibility and
realism (see box on next page). This parameter determines
how the XA feature of the Element works. Try setting this
parameter referring to the four types of the XA Mode
described below. You can realize the desired sound
depending on your performance articulation by assigning
the same Element Group to the Elements having the same
type of the XA mode.
Settings: normal, legato, key off sound, wave cycle, wave random, all
AF off, AF 1 on, AF 2 on
normal
When this is selected, the Element will sound normally each time you
press the note.
legato
When this is selected and the Mono mode is selected, an alternate
Element (different from the one used when XA mode is set to “normal”)
will be played when you play the keyboard in legato fashion (playing
the next note of a single-note line or melody before releasing the
previous note).
