Changing the Arpeggio type
The Arpeggio type assigned to each of the [SF1] – [SF5]
buttons can be changed as desired.
1 From the Voice Play display, press the [F4]
button to call up the Arpeggio display.
2 Press one of the [SF1] – [SF5] buttons.
The lower half of the display will be changed for the
pressed button. The upper half of the display is
common to all the [SF1] – [SF5] buttons.
3 In the lower half of the display, select the
Category, Sub Category and Type of the
Arpeggio.
The Category determines the instrument type, the Sub
Category determines the rhythm type, and the Type
determines the Arpeggio type itself. Press any note to
trigger the Arpeggio playback to find your favorite one.
Go on and assign Arpeggio types in the same way to the
other [SF] buttons as desired.

Using the Controllers
The MOTIF XS gives you an amazing amount of control
options. Not only is it equipped with conventional Pitch
Bend and Modulation Wheels, it also features special
Knobs, Sliders, Ribbon Controller, and Assignable Function
buttons.
The Voice Play display indicates the functions assigned to
the controllers. Keep in mind that the name of the Voice
may include an abbreviation of the controller most suitable
for use when playing the Voice. Using the controllers such
as Knobs, Sliders, and the ASSIGNABLE FUNCTION
buttons change various aspects of the Voice’s sound in real
time—while you play.
n For more information about controllers, see page 67.
These global parameters apply to all the [SF1] – [SF5]
buttons as a group.
These parameters can be set for each of the [SF1] – [SF5]
buttons.
