Settings: off, on
! Local Control
This determines whether or not the tone generator of the
instrument responds to your keyboard playing. Normally,
this should be set to “on”—since you’ll want to hear the
sound of the MOTIF XS as you play it. Even if this is set to
“off,” the data will be transmitted via MIDI. Also, the internal
tone generator block will respond to messages received
via MIDI.
Settings: off, on
@ Receive Bulk
Determines whether or not Bulk Dump data can be
received.
Settings: protect (not received), on (received)
# Controller Reset
Determines the status of the controllers (Modulation Wheel,
Aftertouch, Foot Controller, Breath Controller, Knobs, etc.)
when switching between voices. When this is set to “hold,”
the controllers are kept at the current setting. When this is
set to “reset,” the controllers are reset to the default states
(below).
Settings: hold, reset
If you select “reset,” the controllers will be reset to the following states/
positions:
$ Bulk Dump Interval
Determines the interval time of the Bulk Dump transmission
when the Bulk Dump function is used, the Bulk Request is
received, or system exclusive messages recorded to a
sequence track are played back. The Bulk Dump function
lets you save the data in the Edit buffer (DRAM) or Flash
ROM and transmit as Bulk data (system exclusive
message) to an external MIDI instrument or sequence
software on a computer. This data can then be sent back to
the instrument, restoring all the settings you archived.
Settings: 0 – 900 ms
n When the Bulk Dump function is used or the Bulk Request is
received, the maximum value of the interval time is fixed to
30ms, meaning that the Bulk transmission is executed at an
interval time of 30ms, even if this parameter is set to a value
above 31ms. When system exclusive messages recorded to a
track of a Song or Pattern are played back, value settings
above 31ms will be available, meaning that the Bulk
transmission is executed with the interval time as set here,
regardless of the tempo setting of the Song or Pattern.
Resetting the User Memory to the Initial
Factory Settings—[JOB] (Factory Set)
In the Utility Job mode, you can restore this synthesizer’s
User memory (page 79) to the factory default settings
(Factory Set). Please note that the setting of the Power On
Auto Factory Set on this display will be stored automatically
by executing the Factory Set.
When the factory settings are restored, all the Voice, Performance,
Song, Pattern, and system settings in the Utility mode you created
will be erased. Make sure you are not overwriting any important
data. Be sure to save all important data to a USB storage device or
to a computer connected to the same network as the MOTIF XS
(page 278) before executing this procedure.
1 Power On Auto Factory Set
When this parameter is set to “on,” turning the power on
will restore the User memory to the factory default settings
and load the demo songs and demo patterns. Normally,
this should be set to “off.”
Settings: on, off
When the Power On Auto Factory Set parameter is set to “on,”
turning the power off erases all the User memory data such as
Voice, Performance, Song, Pattern and Utility settings.
For instructions on executing the Factory Set Job, see
page 22.
Sequencer Settings—[SEQ SETUP]
In the Song mode, Pattern mode or Performance mode,
pressing the [SEQ SETUP] button calls up the display for
setting the overall sequencer parameters. After setting
these, press the [STORE] button to store the settings of
both the Sequencer Setup parameters and the Utility
parameters.
All Sequencer Setup settings will be lost if the power is turned off
without storing.
n In the Voice mode and Master mode with the Mode parameter
(page 254) set to “Voice,” the [SEQ SETUP] button cannot be
used.
