The Control & Connectors Rear Panel 1 POWER Switch (page 29) Press to turn power ON or OFF. 2 AC Power Cord Socket (page 20) Be sure the plug the AC power cord into this socket before plugging the power cord into an AC outlet. Use only the AC power cord supplied with the MOTIF. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard! 3 mLAN expansion board (mLAN8E) or I/O expansion board (AIEB2) cover (page 22) Either the mLAN expansion board (mLAN8E) or the I/O expansion board (AIEB2) sold separately can be installed to the MOTIF. With the mLAN8E board, you can conveniently and easily hook up your MOTIF to other mLANcompatible instruments or devices. The AIEB2 board gives you additional digital I/O options, featuring both optical and coaxial connectors. Moreover, the board also includes three stereo ASSIGNABLE OUTPUT pairs (six analog jacks). 4 OPTICAL OUT connectors (page 22) For output of digital audio, via optical fiber cables (at 44.1kHz). 5 USB connector (page 25) For connection to a computer having a USB interface. The USB interface provides multi-port MIDI operation not possible with a single MIDI connection. n The USB connection can only be used for transfer of MIDI data. No audio data can be transfered via USB. USB USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting a computer with peripheral devices, and enables much faster data transfer (12Mbps) compared to conventional serial port connections. Also, it allows "hot swapping" (connecting peripheral devices while the power to the computer is on). 6 MIDI IN/OUT/THRU connectors (page 24) MIDI IN is for receiving control or performance data from another MIDI device, such as an external sequencer. MIDI THRU is simply for redirecting any received MIDI data (via MIDI IN) to connected devices, allowing convenient chaining of additional MIDI instruments. MIDI OUT is for transmitting all control, performance and playback data from the MOTIF to another MIDI device, such as an external sequencer. 7 BREATH Controller Jack (page 28) Connect an optional Yamaha BC2 Breath Controller here for expressive breath control capability. 8 FOOT SWITCH jacks (page 28) For connection of optional FC4 or FC5 Footswitches. When connected to the SUSTAIN jack, the Footswitch controls sustain. When connected to ASSIGNABLE, it can control one of various different assignable functions. 9 FOOT CONTROLLER jacks (page 28) For connection of optional foot controllers (FC7, etc.). Each jack lets you continuously control one of various different assignable functions - such as volume, tone, pitch, or other aspects of the sound. ) ASSIGNABLE OUT L and R jacks (page 21) Line level audio signals are output from the MOTIF via these phone jacks (1/4" mono phone plug). These outputs are independent of the main output (at the L/MONO and R jacks below), and can be freely assigned to any of the Parts. This lets you route specific Voices or sounds for processing with a favorite outboard effect unit. ! OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks (page 21) Line level audio signals are output via these phone jacks. For monophonic output, use just the L/ MONO jack. @ PHONES jack (page 21) For connection to a pair of stereo headphones. # A/D INPUT jacks (page 23) External audio signals can be input via these phone jacks. These are used primarily for recording samples - either with a microphone, making the proper Utility settings (page 250), or from other audio equipment, such as a CD or MD player. With the optional Vocal Harmony Plug-in board (PLG100-VH, page 35), you can also apply special effects and harmonies to the microphone input. $ GAIN knob For adjusting the input gain of the audio at the A/D INPUT jacks (above). Depending on the connected device (microphone, CD player, etc.), you may need to adjust this for optimum level. % SCSI connectors (page 27) This SCSI-2 50-pin connector (D-sub, half-pitch) can be used to connect to an external SCSI data storage device - allowing you to conveniently save and store large quantities of data. 18 MOTIF The Controls & Connectors
