Reference
1 Track
Determines the Song track (01 – 16) to which the Job is
applied.
* The drum instruments of the different note numbers will be
assigned to each of tracks, meaning that the Bass Drum of Track 1
is different from the Bass Drum of Track 2, for example.
Executing the Divide Drum Track overwrites any data previously
existing on the destination tracks 1 – 8. Important data should
always be saved to a USB storage device connected to the USB TO
DEVICE terminal or to a computer connected to the same network
as the MOTIF XS (page 278).
This Job copies data in the specified measures of a track
for creating Arpeggio data. Up to 16 unique note numbers
can be recorded to the Arpeggio track. If more than 16
different note numbers have been recorded to the MIDI
sequence data, the Convert operation reduces the notes in
excess of the limit. Because of this, be careful to record
only up to 16 different notes when you create an Arpeggio,
especially when using all four tracks.
1 Range
Determines the range of measures to be copied to the
Arpeggio data.
Settings: 001 – 999

20 characters. You can call up the Character List display
by pressing the [SF6] CHAR button and enter the name.
For detailed instructions in naming, refer to “Basic
Operation” on page 82.
Any previous Arpeggio data in this number will be overwritten.
4 Original Notes Root
Determines the root note when the Convert Type of any
track is set to “org notes.”
Settings: C -2 – G8

5 Track

track.

below. This parameter can be set for each track.
Settings: normal, fixed, org notes
normal
The Arpeggio is played back using only the played note and its octave
notes.
fixed
Playing any note(s) will trigger the same MIDI sequence data.
org notes (original notes)
Basically same as “fixed” with the exception that the Arpeggio
playback notes differ according to the played chord.
