Appendix
■ When this situation occurs in the Performance/Song/Pattern mode, check the Arpeggio Switch parameter. If this parameter for
the current Part is set to off, Arpeggio playback will not be triggered by your keyboard performance even if the [ARPEGGIO ON/
OFF] button is turned on.
Cannot stop the Arpeggio.
■ When Arpeggio playback does not stop even if you release the key, set the Arpeggio Hold parameter to “off.”
The Voice assigned to the Performance produces different sound from the one in the Voice mode.
■ This is normal because the Voice sound is determined by the parameter settings in the Performance mode. For the Performance
Parts, you will need to apply basically the same parameter settings as those used in the Voice mode. Regarding the Effect
settings except for the send level, you can copy the settings in the Voice mode to the Performance part in the following display.
By executing this Job, you can ensure that the Voice will sound the same in the Performance mode as it does in the Voice mode.
The Song/Pattern cannot be started even when pressing the [F] (Play) button.
■ Does the selected Song or Pattern (phrase) actually contain data?
■ Is the Remote Control feature turned on?
■ Is the MIDI Sync parameter set to internal (using internal clock)?
Song/Pattern (Phrase) cannot be recorded.
■ Is there enough free memory for recording? (pages 182 and 211)
The total MOTIF XS memory capacity determines the number of Songs/Patterns (phrases) that can be recorded. For example, if
the memory contains Songs/Patterns (phrases) that use up a large amount of memory, the memory may become full even though
the available Pattern or Song numbers are not all used.
Cannot enter the Pattern Job mode/Pattern Mixing mode even when pressing the [JOB] button in the
Pattern mode.
■ Check whether the MOTIF XS is in the Pattern Chain mode or not.
If so, exit from the Pattern Chain mode, then press the [JOB] button or [MIXING] button.
The drum sound is wrong or unexpected when changing the transpose value in the Song/Pattern Play mode.
■
This is normal. Changing the transpose setting while playing a Drum Voice will produce different sounds for the same keys played.
Microphone does not work properly.
■ Check whether the Mic/Line parameter is set to “mic” or not.
■ Check whether the Gain Knob on the rear panel is set to minimum position or not.
Cannot record samples.
■ If you cannot enter the Sampling mode even though you’ve pressed the [INTEGRATED SAMPLING] button, check whether
DIMMs have been installed or not. In order to enter the Sampling mode and record Samples, DIMM modules must be installed.
■ Have you exceeded the maximum allowable number of samples (key banks)?
■ Is there enough sample memory available?
■ Is the Sampling Source setting appropriate?
■ Is the Trigger mode set appropriately?
