1 Keyboard
The MOTIF XS6 features a 61-key keyboard, while the
MOTIF XS7 has 76 keys and the MOTIF XS8 has 88 keys.
All are equipped with a touch response feature (both initial
touch and aftertouch). With initial touch, the instrument
senses how strongly or softly you play the keys, and uses
that playing strength to affect the sound in various ways,
depending on the selected Voice. With aftertouch, the
instrument senses how much pressure you apply to the
keys while playing, and uses that pressure to affect the
sound in various ways, depending on the selected Voice.
Moreover, any of a variety of functions can be assigned to
aftertouch for each Voice (page 104).
2 Pitch Bend wheel (page 67)
Controls the pitch bend effect. You can also assign other
functions to this controller.
3 Modulation wheel (page 67)
Controls the modulation effect. You can also assign other
functions to this controller.
4 Ribbon Controller (page 67)
This controller is touch sensitive, and is controlled by
running your finger lightly across its surface laterally. You
can also assign other functions to this controller.
5 ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION buttons (page 67)
According to the XA Mode (Expanded Articulation Mode)
settings in the Voice Element Edit mode, you can call up
the specific Element of the selected Voice by pressing
each of these buttons during your keyboard performance.

7 Knobs (pages 26, 31, 89, 136, 181 and 252)
These eight highly versatile knobs let you adjust various
aspects or parameters of the current Voice. Use the
[SELECTED PART CONTROL] button or [MULTI PART

8 [SELECTED PART CONTROL] button (pages
26, 64, 89, 136, 181 and 252)
Pressing this button changes the functions assigned to the
eight knobs. The lamp next to the currently active
parameters will light. A function of each knob is applied to
the current Voice in the Voice mode while a function of
each knob is applied only to the currently selected Part (or
to all Parts depending on the setting) in the Performance/
Song/Pattern mode.
n Note that the functions assigned to the Knobs printed
“ASSIGN1” and “ASSIGN2” with the TONE 1 lamp turned on
are always applied to all Parts in the Performance mode and
