From this display you can set Audio In/Out parameters. 

When using the A/D INPUT jacks, this determines the input 
source, microphone (mic) or line. 

Settings: mic, line

mic

Intended for low output equipment, such as a microphone, electric 
guitar or bass. 

line

Intended for high output equipment, such as a keyboard, synthesizer, 
or CD player. 

Determines the output gain of the OUTPUT L/MONO and R 
jacks. 

Settings: 0dB, +6dB

Determines the output gain of the ASSIGNABLE OUTPUT L 
and R jacks. 

Settings: 0dB, +6dB

Determines the output gain of the mLAN connector. 

Settings: 0dB, +6dB

Determines the audio signal flow for monitoring the sound 
when using the MOTIF XS with DAW software installed on a 
computer connected to the MOTIF XS via an IEEE1394 
cable. 

n You will need to properly set up the DAW software in addition 

to making the settings here. For details, see page 47. 

Settings: stand alone, with PC, with PC (DirectMonitor)

stand alone

This should be selected when you are using the MOTIF XS alone or are 
not using the DAW software even with a computer connected to the 
MOTIF XS via an IEEE1394 cable. When this is selected, the audio 
signal of the MOTIF XS will be output directly via the OUTPUT L/MONO 
and R jacks normally. 

with PC 

This should be selected when you are using the MOTIF XS as an audio 
device with the DAW software. When this is selected, the audio signal 
of the MOTIF XS will be output to the DAW software on a computer via 
an IEEE1394 cable, merged and mixed with the DAW sound, returned 
back to the MOTIF XS, then output via the OUTPUT L/MONO and R 
jacks. Selecting this allows you to apply VST Effects within the DAW 
software to the MOTIF XS sound. 

with PC (DirectMonitor)

This should be selected when recording your keyboard performance to 
the DAW software on the computer. The audio signal of the MOTIF XS 
will be output directly via the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks with the 
audio signal sent from the DAW software via an IEEE1394 cable. Keep 
in mind that the Rec Monitor of the DAW software should be set to “off” 
in order to prevent “double” sound from occurring. 

n When “with PC” is selected, there may be a short delay 

between when you play the keyboard and when you hear the 
resulting sound. 

n Set this parameter to “stand alone” when the MOTIF XS is not 

connected to an external device via an IEEE1394 cable. 

From the following displays, you can set parameters 
related to the Master Effect, Master EQ, Audio Input part, 
Controller, and Micro Tuning in the Voice mode. These 
settings will be applied to all Voices. The following displays 
are available only when entering the Utility mode from the 
Voice mode.
