Yamaha MOTIF XS7 Manuel D’Utilisation

From this display you can set various Arpeggio-related 
parameters for the Song recording. 

Parameters 

1 – & are same as the ones in the Arpeggio 

Main display (page 101) in the Voice Common Edit mode. 

Each Arpeggio type is assigned a specific Voice best 
suited to the type. When an Arpeggio type has been 
assigned to a recorded track, this parameter determines 
whether or not the Voice assigned to the Arpeggio type will 
also be used for the recorded track. When set to “on,” the 
appropriate Voice is assigned to the recorded track in 
place of the currently assigned Voice. When set to “off,” the 
appropriate Voice is not assigned to the recorded track. 
The currently assigned Voice is maintained. The name of 
the Voice registered to the Arpeggio Type is shown at the 
right side. 

Settings: off (not copied), on (copied)

The Arpeggio type set in the Arpeggio display of the Song 
Record can be called up together with the Song Scene via 
the [SF1] Scene 1 – [SF5] Scene 5 buttons in the Setup 
display (page 187) and the Track View display (page 181). 
The 8th note icon at right of Scene1 – 5 in the tab indicates 
that the Song Scene is registered to the corresponding 
button. If the Arpeggio Type is set to “off” in the Arpeggio 
display of the Song Record, pressing the corresponding 
Sub Function button in the Setup display/Track View 
display will not change the Arpeggio type even if the 8th 
note icon is shown.

Part several times.

Replace Recording, cancel the recording by using the Undo/
Redo Job (page 196).
