Basic Operation (page 67) · Reference (pages 177, 215)
Songs and Patterns are MIDI sequence data consisting
of 16 tracks.
● A Song on the MOTIF is effectively the same as a
Song on a sequencer, and playback automatically
stops at the end of the recorded data.
● In the MOTIF, the term “pattern” refers to a
relatively short pattern — say, 4 to 16 measures (up
to 256 measures) — which is used for looped
playback. Therefore, once Pattern playback starts, it
continues until you press the [J] button. The
MOTIF features a variety of preset Phrase data that
is used as the basic material in making up Patterns.
