Insertion Effect in the Mixing mode
In addition to the three Effect blocks above, special
Insertion Effects are available in the Mixing mode. Keep in
mind that Insertion Effects cannot be applied to all 16 parts
simultaneously. The MOTIF XS features eight Insertion
Effects, allowing you to independently process up to eight
Parts from among the 1 – 16 parts and the A/D Input part.
You can specify the parts to which the Insertion Effect is
applied by setting the Insertion Effect Switch parameter in
the 1 – 16 display (page 231) and the Audio Part display
(page 232) of the Mixing Play mode.
The most common use for Insertion Effects is in applying
compression or dynamics processing to an individual Part,
or applying a special effect that is only to be used on one
Part, such as distortion or rotary speaker.
Mixing Voices
Up to 16 Normal Voices can be stored for each Song/
Pattern Mixing. This type of Voice is called a Mixing Voice.
Normally, the Voice stored in the Voice mode is assigned to
each Mixing Part. In this method, the sound of the Song/
Pattern you created may be changed unexpectedly if you
edit or delete the Voice used for the Song/Pattern Mixing.
Mixing Voices are provided to prevent these accidental
sound changes. To use this feature, call up a Voice from
User Banks 1 – 3, store the selected Voice to the Mixing
Voice Bank, assign it to the desired Part, then edit the
Mixing as needed. In addition, make sure to store the Voice
as a Mixing Voice after editing the Voice in the Mixing
mode.
Up to 16 Mixing Voices are provided for each Mixing
program, or in other words, for each Song/Pattern.
Selecting a different Song/Pattern calls up a different
Mixing belonging to the new selected Song/Pattern.
If you wish to use a Mixing Voice of a certain Song/Pattern
for another Song/Pattern, execute the copy operation
(page 241) in the Mixing Voice Job mode.
Note that up to 256 Mixing Voices can be stored for all
Songs and Patterns. Accordingly, the Mixing Voice memory
will become full and additional Voices cannot be stored if
you’ve stored 16 different Voices for 16 different Songs.
If such a situation occurs, use the Delete Job (page 241) to
delete any unnecessary Mixing Voices in the Mixing Voice
Job mode.
n You can confirm the amount of currently unused (available)
memory via the Mixing Voice Information window (page 240).
