Keyboard Octave and Keyboard
MIDI transmit channel settings
The explanations here apply to step #3 of the Basic
Procedure on page 124.
The two parameters set here affect all selected voices.
However, these parameters cannot be stored to the
voice by using the Voice Store mode (page 159).
Keyboard octave setting
The [OCTAVE] buttons allow the keyboard to be
transposed up or down by one octave. Pressing the
[UP] and the [DOWN] buttons together at the same
time will return the setting to the initial value (0).
n The MOTIF 8 has no [OCTAVE] buttons.
Keyboard MIDI transmit channel setting
Press the [TRACK SELECT] button so that its indicator
lights, and press any of the NUMBER [1] - [16] buttons
to change the Keyboard MIDI transmit channel.
n You can set this parameter also in the Utility mode
(page 258). This parameter cannot be stored in the Voice
Store mode.
Voice editing in the Voice Play mode
The explanations here apply to step #4 of the Basic
Procedure on page 124.
The Voice Play mode lets you perform a variety of
general editing operations on the selected voice. For
more detailed and comprehensive editing operations,
use the Voice Edit mode.
n When a Plug-in voice is selected, some parameters
cannot be edited.
n The parameters that have the same name in the Voice
Play mode and in the Voice Edit mode have the same
functions and settings.
The [ ] Indicator
If you alter any parameters in the Voice Play mode, the
[] indicator will appear in the top left of the display.
This indicates that the current voice has been modified
but not yet stored.
If you select another voice during editing, the [ ]
indicator will disappear and all your edits will be lost.
It is a good idea to store the edited voice data from the
Voice Store mode (page 159). Even if you lose the voice
edited data, you can restore it by using the Edit Recall
function (page 158).
