the left of the Voice name, indicating that the Voice has
been included in the Favorite Category. (Pressing the

upward or downward in the Voice List.
n The order of the Voices in the Favorite Category cannot be
changed. If you want to create a custom order of Voices
for quick selection during your performance, store the
Voices to one of the User banks.
Using Knobs and Control Sliders
One of the more powerful performance features of the
MOTIF XS is its extensive set of real-time controls—
especially the Knobs and Control Sliders. These let you
adjust a variety of parameters for the current Voice, such
as effect depth, attack/release characteristics, tonal color,
and others. These real-time controls can be used to
change the sound as you play or to quickly edit and
customize the Voice. Three functions can be assigned to
each knob, alternatively selected via the [SELECTED PART
CONTROL] button. Each time the button is pressed, the
lamp lights alternatively in descending order, TONE1 →
TONE2 → ARP FX. For details, see page 26 in the Start
Guide.
n If the [E] (Edit) Indicator appears in the top right of the display,
the current Voice can be stored (page 97) as a new User
Voice.
n Holding down the [SELECTED PART CONTROL] button for a
few seconds will alternate the lit lamp from the current one to
TONE 1.
n A red point on the Knob or Slider graphic indicates the current
value to which the Knob or Slider is set. Moving the Knob or
Slider has no effect on the sound until this point is reached.
Once you move the Knob or Slider past this point, the red
point disappears and moving the Knob or Control Slider
affects the sound.
n You can confirm the functions assigned to the eight knobs in
the Voice Play display, called up via the [F1] button. When a
display other than the Voice display is shown, you can confirm
the knob functions by pressing the [SELECTED PART
CONTROL] button, which calls up the Control Function
window.
