Yamaha Music Production Synthesizer Manual Do Utilizador

 

Congratulations and thank you for your purchase of the Yamaha MOTIF Music Production Synthesizer!

You now own what is perhaps the best-sounding, most versatile, and certainly most powerful synthesizer and total music 
production instrument on the planet.

We strove to put virtually all our synthesizer technology and music making know-how into one instrument — and we 
succeeded.  The new MOTIF not only gives you the latest and greatest sounds and rhythms (as well as the ability to create 
and sample your own), it gives you powerful, easy-to-use tools for playing, combining and controlling these dynamic 
sounds/rhythms — in real time, as you perform!  

Take time to look through this manual carefully.  It’s packed with important information on how to get the most from this 
amazing instrument.

Dive in now and enjoy!

 

The following items have been included with your MOTIF.   Check to see that you have everything listed here.
• Synthesizer • AC Power cord • CD-ROM x 3
• Owners Manual (this book) • Data List • Installation Guide

 

The accompanying CD-ROM features special software for use with the MOTIF.  Included is a Voice Editor, which gives you 
comprehensive and intuitive editing tools for the MOTIF, and a File Manager, which lets you easily transfer data between 
the storage device connected to your MOTIF and a computer.  For details, see the separate Installation Guide or the online 
manuals included with the software.

 

Do NOT attempt to play back Track 1 (which contains the software data) on an audio CD player.  Doing so may result in damage 
to your audio equipment and speakers, as well as your hearing.
