Setting Up Connections Connecting External MIDI Equipment Using a standard MIDI cable (available separately), you can connect an external MIDI device, and control it from the MOTIF. Likewise, you can use an external MIDI device (such as a keyboard or sequencer) to control the sounds on the MOTIF. Below are several different MIDI connection examples; use the one most similar to your intended setup. ■ Controlling from an external MIDI keyboard OCTAVE DOWN UP KNOB CONTROL FUNCTION PAN REVERB CUTOFF RESONANCE ASSIGN A ASSIGN B CHORUS ATTACK ASSIGN 1 TEMPO RELEASE ASSIGN 2 REMOTE CONTROL ON/OFF MASTER VOLUME KN 1 KN 2 KN 3 KN 4 MEQ LOW MEQLOWMID MEQ HI MID MEQ HIGH VOLUME 1 VOLUME 2 VOLUME 3 VOLUME 4 EFFECTBYPASS ARPEGGIO INSERTION SYSTEM ON/OFF SEQ TRANSPORT CS 1 CS 2 CS 3 CS 4 LOCATE 1 2 REC ZONE 1 ZONE 2 ZONE 3 ZONE 4 MODE VOICE PERFORM MASTER SEQUENCER SONG PATTERN FILE INTEGRATED SAMPLING MIXING UTILITY EDIT JOB STORE COMPARE SCENE STORE SET LOCATE SONG SCENE SF1 SF2 SF3 SF4 SF5 INFORMATION F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 DEC/NO EXIT INC/ YES ENTER EXECUTE DRUM KITS FAVORITES COMMON MUSIC PRODUCTION SYNTHESIZER Integrated Sampling Sequencer Real-time External Control Surface Modular Synthesis Plug-in System SLOT 1 SLOT 2 SLOT 3 PRE 1 PRE 2 PRE 3 GM USER PLG 1 PLG 2 PLG 3 CATEGORY SEARCH A.

To connect more units, use a MIDI Thru Box for parallel connections. You may encounter errors if the MIDI cables are too long or if too many devices are chained together via their MIDI THRU connectors. ■ Using an mLAN interface (when an optional mLAN8E has been installed) OCTAVE DOWN UP KNOB CONTROL FUNCTION PAN REVERB CHORUS CUTOFF RESONANCE ATTACK ASSIGN A ASSIGN B ASSIGN 1 TEMPO RELEASE ASSIGN 2 REMOTE CONTROL ON/OFF MASTER VOLUME KN 1 KN 2 KN 3 KN 4 MEQ LOW MEQLOWMID MEQ HI MID MEQ HIGH VOLUME 1 VOLUME 2 VOLUME 3 VOLUME 4 EFFECTBYPASS ARPEGGIO INSERTION SYSTEM ON/OFF SEQ TRANSPORT CS 1 CS 2 CS 3 CS 4 LOCATE 1 2 REC ZONE 1 ZONE 2 ZONE 3 ZONE 4 MODE VOICE PERFORM MASTER SEQUENCER SONG PATTERN FILE INTEGRATED SAMPLING MIXING UTILITY EDIT JOB STORE COMPARE SCENE STORE SET LOCATE SONG SCENE SF1 SF2 SF3 SF4 SF5 INFORMATION F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 DEC/NO EXIT INC/ YES ENTER EXECUTE DRUM KITS FAVORITES COMMON MUSIC PRODUCTION SYNTHESIZER Integrated Sampling Sequencer Real-time External Control Surface Modular Synthesis Plug-in System SLOT 1 SLOT 2 SLOT 3 PRE 1 PRE 2 PRE 3 GM USER PLG 1 PLG 2 PLG 3 CATEGORY SEARCH A.

However, they cannot be used at the same time. Select which connector is used for MIDI data transfer in the Utility mode. See page 259. 24 MOTIF Setting Up
