[L][M] buttons and change the settings with the data dial.
n The available parameters differ depending on the selected Effect type. For
information on the Effect Parameters, refer to the separate Data List.
n If “thru” or “off” is selected for the effect type, none of the effect
parameters can be edited.

7. Store the edited Voice.

settings may be lost.
Performance mode
In this section, you’ll learn how select and play Performances, edit them and set their effects.
Playing the Performances
As in the Voice Play mode, the Performance Play mode is where
you select and play the instrument sounds of this tone generator.
Here we’ll show how to play in the Performance Play mode.
Each Performance can contain up to four different Parts. You can
create a Performance by layering several Voices together, and by
assigning different Voices to separate ranges of the keyboard.
n Make sure that the MIDI Transmit Channel of the external MIDI keyboard
matches the MIDI Receive Channel of the MOTIF-RACK ES (page 16).
Selecting a Performance
When shipped from the factory, this tone generator contains a full
set of specially programmed 128 User Performances in the User
Bank. In the Performance Play mode, you can select and play
individual User Performances. Since there is only one bank for
Performances, you need not select a Performance Bank.
n Performance User Bank
Keep in mind that if you overwrite a Performance in a User Bank, the User
Performance will be lost. When you save the edited Performance, be careful
not to overwrite any important User Performances.
1. Press the [SHIFT] + [PERFORM] buttons to enter the
Performance Play mode.
The [PERFORM] button LED lights in orange. In this condition,
playing the external keyboard sounds the Performance in the
display.
The parameters shown in the Performance Play mode are briefly
explained below.

[L][M] buttons.
