About Plug-in Voices
Basic Structure (page 34)
Plug-in Boards give you an enormous amount of additional sonic flexibility and power. When installed, they work
seamlessly and transparently within the system of the MOTIF — meaning that you can use their sounds and
functions just as if they were built right into the MOTIF at the factory. Up to three Plug-in boards can be installed to
the MOTIF. If the Plug-in Board has been correctly installed, the corresponding SLOT lamp will light, the voice data
appropriate for the installed board is set up automatically as Plug-in voices and you can select the Plug-in bank as
well as the built-in Voice bank.
The Plug-in voices can be edited via the MOTIF’s panel operation in much the same way as User voices. After
editing, up to 64 Plug-in voices for each Plug-in board can be stored.
Editing and saving Board voices
Reference (page 159)
Included among the Board voices is a special set of voices — called Board Custom voices — which can be edited by a
computer connected to the MOTIF, using special editing software included with the Plug-in board.
Because the Plug-in boards do not have SRAM and the edited voice data will be lost when turning the power off, the
edited Board Custom voice data should be saved to the memory card or the SCSI device connected to the MOTIF. The
Board Custom voice data saved to the memory card or SCSI device can be loaded automatically when turning the
power on by using the Auto Load function.
1 Edit the Board voice by using the Voice Editor.
2 Transmit the edited data to the memory (DRAM) on the Plug-in board.
3 Save the data in the memory (DRAM) to the memory card.
4 Set Auto Load to on in the Utility mode (page 252).
5 When turning the power on next time, the Board Custom voice data saved to the memory card is automatically
loaded to the memory on the Plug-in board.
